CARBOM OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOtt TOURS In these days of campus turmoil between students and administration and 'clashes between "town and "gown" in other communities, a cooperative effort between these elements in El Paso has produced what promises to be an entertaining and informative program at The University of Texas at El Paso to be held Monday through Wednesday.

The history of the efforts ol various El Pasoans to bring public television to the city began in 1952, when U.T.

El Paso established a television facility as part of the Communications Department, which had been set up by Hicks in 1945. In 1952 the Federal Communications Commission made permanent television allocations to all communities in the country. At that time, El Paso was allocated channels 4, 7, 9 and 13. The FCC also stipulated that -13 per cent of all allocated channels be reserved for public television, the only requirement being that a community request such a channel. Hicks made the request, and El Paso was allocated channel 7 for use by a public broadcasting station.

In 1964 a group of interested citizens, including Hicks, made another effort to bring television to El Paso. Several meetings were held, and a non-profit corporation, the Rio Grande Council for Educational Television was formed. Although discouraged by their original efforts, the corporation is still in existence. During the past year interest has again been generated in the community. Studies have been made by the National Council of Jewish Women and Ross of the Unitarian Com-' munity.

Encouraged by their findings, the University Forums Committee and Interdisciplinary Seminars have offered the university facilities for the three-day public television seminar in the hope that more El Pasoans will lend their London-Paris-Rome GATEWAY HOLIDAY continues from 10: 30 a.m. through 3:30 p.m. in the Union Treatie, and closed-circuit television programs may again be seen in Rooms 101 and 102 of the Mass Communication Building.
