Oct. 24, 1961 PRESS. Binghamton, K. 3 Intent, Others Squirm SO, 000 Pupils View ETV; I s- it I I fc Probable causes for much of the restlessness at Columbus were the makeshift conditions of the viewing. Students seated in the balcony were as far as 35 feet from the 21-inch television screen on the auditorium stage.

Others seated in the center section on the first floor were from 6 to 30 feet from the picture. Varying sound reception made it necessary for Columbus Principal Carl G. Schroder to make several trips to the front of the auditorium to adjust the sound. Before the program started, Frederick W. Cosgriff explained to a reporter that the conditions were "makeshift." The ultimate aim is to have a television set in each classroom, he said.

Mr. Coseriff is director of intermediate grades in Bing- By MARILYN YOUNG Today'i first taste of educational television for Southern Tier students was met with a mixture of open-mouthed attention and restless squirming at Columbus School, 164 Hawley Street. More than 250 fourth, fifth and sixth graders at Columbus took a television tour of the United Nations headquarters in New York City from their chairs in the school auditorium. They were among an estimated 50,000 Southern Tier school children who watched the show. A reporter picked Columbus School at random to observe reactions of the children.

Some 200- Southern Tier schools are taking part in the program, sponsored by the Southern Tier Educational Television Association (STETA). hamton and vice-president of STETA. Despite the adverse conditions, many pupils obviously were engrossed in the program, which featured Miss Helena M. Hiltunen, a United Nations guide from Finland. Their concentration was interrupted at intervals by noise made by passing students In the hallway.

Several teachers found it necessary to tap the shoulders of a few students who whispered or squirmed in squeaky chairs. The program ending was met with round of voluntary applause. A handful of 10- and 11-year-olds, interviewed after the program, voiced their approval of the project. A few said they had some difficulty In hearing. Several showed interest in actually visiting the United i a 4 Guide Tells Ml Youngsters I About UN A pretty United Nations guide told some 50,000 area youngsters about the UN today.

JOAN ZEVAN, 11. of 27 South Street, a sixth grader I thought it was very interesting because I have never been in the UN building and I would like to see more of it.

Area ETV's 1st Star Was 'Very Nervous" Miss Helena Marjatta Hiltunen, a native of Helsinki, appeared on a television show on WNBF, Channel 12, to talk about the UN before an audience of "at least 50,000 children." The estimate was made by Jerry R. Brown, coordinator for the Southern Tier Education Television Association. The program included a film showing seven area school children touring the UN in New York City, and an interview with Miss idea.

The young woman, a 24-year-old guide at the United Nations in New York City, was in Binghamton to narrate a film on the UN before an estimated 50,000 area school children.

The guide, a pretty blonde who has lived in the United States about 10 years, was making her first television appearance. Although she has appeared before many groups publicly and has guided thousands of tourists through the UN in the last 2Vi years, she said he still was "very nervous" about her TV appearance. She said she had rehearsed until 2 o'clock this morning, but felt "better" after today's program. She returns to New York tomorrow. In discussing her work as a guide, she said: "It's an education in itself.

I wish every girl in the world could have the opportunity." Miss Hiltunen, the only Finn on the UN guiding staff, came to this country about 10 years ago with her family. Jn Helsinki, her father was a simultaneous interpreter in the American Embassy. They now live in Fairport Harbor, Ohio, near Cleveland, a community of numerous Finnish families, she said. Asked what duties she performs as a guide, she replied: "Naturally, we guide tours. We also inform the tourists on what is going on at the various committee meetings of the UN." For this background, Miss Hiltunen said the 75 guides are briefed each morning on happenings at the UN.

"So we're up on world affairs," she commented. Basic qualifications required of a UN guide are a fluency in two languages (she speaks Finnish and English), and a college education or equivalent, she said. She said she likes her work, has a "tremendous affection for the U. S. and considers it her "adopted parent." anve lor me iirst ume mis yedi ieu augiuiy ueumu trip fares from Bingnamton to their aims, according to today's third report meeting.
