"We are not on the air to compete with the commercial stations," explains Valley College Telecommunications Director Edward R. Rothhaar. "We simply wish to provide an alternative for the discriminating viewer, who wishes something else besides the same situation comedies, night after night." It Is hoped by many in the field, that UHF may become to television, what Frequency Modulation (FM) has become to radio that is, an alternative.

KVCR-TV, the flagship of the college's telecommunications facility, operates in four main areas to serve the varied demands for its "alternative" approach to broadcasting. First, the station programs direct, closed circuit, classroom instructional broadcasts to Valley College students." Such televised courses include a variety of subjects including political science, biology, health education, and even cooking. This phase is operated as a joint effort between the communications department and the vice, president charge of curriculum. In addition, school children in the county's 28 school districts receive a variety of instructional programming directed at the elementary and secondary levels. Typical subjects include Spanish, math, social studies, science adventures, and an excellent series on fifth grade level art.

Programs which offer in-service instructional aids to teachers are also present By CARL YETZER Sun-Ttlegrtm Staff Writer Critics constantly bemoan the state of American television. They complain that the technical advances are so far outdistancing the quality of the programs being presented that the whole industry begins to take on the appearance of the race between the tortoise and the hare. "What good is it," they ask, "if men of science can create such a marvelous tool such as this, and all that the men entrusted with it can use it for is as a medium to run monotonous situation comedies to push a particular brand of soap?" As Fred Friendly, former president of CBS News pointed up in his book, "Due to Circumstances Beyond Our Control serious minded adults are beginning to lose hope in the electronic medium, and are returning in droves to other entertainment forms in search of diversion which stimulates, rather than depresses. A notable exception is taking place, however, right here in San Bernardino County. But, oddly enough, those who stand to benefit most from it are, for the most part, unaware of it.

San Bernardino Valley College is offering, and for the past five years has been offering, such an exception on Channel 24, in the ultra high frequency band (UHF). While older sets can receive the band only with the adaption of a special converter, recent federal legislation has now required all new sets Saturday, Sept. 9, 1967 Norton Survey Reveals Open Housing Majority S.B.

Lining up camera for broadcast is cameraman student Miles C. Bush. rllllli 4 By Joseph p. McCarthy Sun-Telegram Staff Writer The City of San Bernardino will apparently have its $190,000 for a flood control project long before the county or any other valley area cities see any of the sales tax income from the Inland Center. Mayor Al C.

Ballard told country officials yesterday that he could not possibly think ot discussing sharing the sales tax revenue until after Jan. 1. He agreed, however, to discuss a sharing plan immediately after the beginning of the new ysar. He also agreed to a suggestion from Board of Supervisors Chairman Daniel D. Mikesell to permit County Administrative Officer Robert A.

Covington and City Administrator John A. Jerman to periodically discuss the sales tax situation between now and then. Ballard said that he used the income from the sales tax for the first two quarters of the year to balance the city's budget. "We're still pretty uncertain about what the total revenue will be and we have to wait to see if things can be stabilized before we talk about sharing revenue," he said. Ballard said the total business at the shopping center would probably be far less than the $52 million anticipated.

He said the total might amount to between $38 and $40 million. He said for the first two periods the city received approximately $200,000 in tax revenue. Ballard also said the cost to the city to annex the Inland Center area and the national Orange Show grounds amout-ed to $830,000. "That's a quite a bile, especially when you don't have it in the budget to begin with," he said.

Col. Joseph A. (Jeb) Stuart, vice commander of the 63rd MAW, gave a detailed report on the survey and said the next step is to mobilize community support for the program. Stuart reported "good progress" to date and said the area is far ahead of some Southern California communities. The housing office at Norton is being expanded to provide military personnel with information and maps on the adequacy, cost and location of all open facilities available in the area.

Letters of appreciation have been (Continued on 5, Column 6) Mismatch Ends Back-to School 'Love-iiv' Affair By MARY SANCHEZ Sun-Telegram Staff Writer There will be no back to school "love-in" today although one was scheduled at San Bernardino Wildwood Park. City Administrator John A. Jerman said he cancelled a permit for the affair Thursday. A mix-up over the names of two applicants for the permit resulted in Jer-man's decision to cancel the assembly which he said "would not be in the public interest." Under a new ordinance which goes into effect Sept. 20, Jerman has authority to either grant or deny permits for assemblies in public parks.

He had allowed a permit for Robert If. Walraven and Roy Clay over protests from Councilman Robert L. Henley. Jerman explained that the Walraven who was the subject of an investigation before the permit was issued was not the same Walraven who made the request. The applicant for the permit was later found to be a 17 year old Highland youth.

An investigation had mistakenly been, made into the background of Robert A. Walraven, 29, Jerman said. In the case of Clay, Jerman found the applicant's name to be Lloyd and not Roy as was typed on the original letter of application. Young Walraven has since written Jerman a letter asking to have his name removed from the application. "Since Walraven has withdrawn his request and Clay has been unreachable, there is no one responsible for the affair available," said Jerman.

"I therefore think it would not be in the public interest for the assembly to be allowed." Jerman said a letter informing the applicants of the cancellation was to be hand delivered to Walraven's home at 27115 10th Highland. Clovis, N.M.

Suggestions were made to the private pilots on ways to avoid air congestion and recommendations for flight planes of light aircraft. Also discussed were take off, landing and climb rate of the powerful Starlifters and flight patterns now being used. "It's a problem that's not going to get easier," Maj. Primrose said. "The mountains are still going to be with us -the smog and fog.

We have 23 C141s now at Norton in addition to 19 other planes and will have 14 more Star-lifters by the end of this year." At the close of the meeting which was held at the base, the visitors were taken on a tour of the new Starlifters. ed Ballard that the county and the other cities in the valley area also had budgetary problems. "We all have pretty much the same problems, and most of these other cities lost business to the Inland Center without getting anything in return, Mikesell said. Supervisor Nancy E. Smith suggested that the most equitable way to divide the sales tax would be an agreement to increase the number of mills which determine the dollar amount received in sales tax revenue.

One mill equals about $31,235. Mrs. Smith said the city might consider an increase in the five mills the county now receives in sales tax. She said she was not satisfied with postponing the discussion until January, but said she would agree if the City Council would agree in letter form to a sharing of revenue. Ballard promised the letter would be authorized by the council on Monday and (Continued on 5, Column 5) DPC Meeting Today Rep.

The prohibition on beards, long hair, rollers and barefeet are part of the dress code for secondary school students which goes into effect with the opening of school on Monday.

In a Norton survey of the 409 premises last June, 213 owners (about 54 per cent) said they are open for rental to all persons, regardless of race or color. Owners of 58 premises said they are not open to all and do not plan to change this policy.

Owners of 10 premises said they are not open but will change to rent to all persons. Owners of 26 premises said they are not open but are willing to consider opening their rentals to all persons. Owners of 92 premises refused to discuss their rental policies. And owners of 10 premises could not be contacted. The survey was the first phase of a nationwide Department of Defense program to promote non discrimination in rental housing for military personnel.

Brig. Gen. Gilbert L. Curtis, commander of the 36th Military Airlift Wing, outlined the program at a San Bernardino Chamber of Commerce board of directors meeting yesterday. Curtis said a thousand Air Force families have moved into the area in the past two or three months, and another thousand are expected to move in next year.

He noted that the housing vacancy factor in San Bernardino has been reduced from 20 per cent last year to 5 per cent currently. There are plenty of one and two-bedroom apartments, but what is needed most are three and four bedroom apartments for Air Force families that average four or five persons each, said Curtis. Why do some owners refuse to rent to all comers? A board members suggested the obvious economic loss. He asked Curtis if owners who rent to all have suffered any losses. "Gordon Fields and other real estate operators have told me they do not know of even one case of a family moving out because of an open housing policy in two years," replied Curtis.

Curtis said the government plans to build 200 houses in 1968, but said this S.B. Schools higher than the top of the kneecap" but forbids hems more than two inches above the knee.

Girls are enjoined from "overly-casual sportswear and beach wear" along with "excessive or bizarre make-up."

"The area is basically crowded with air traffic and increasing nearly 18 per cent a year," Maj.

Primrose said. "By 1970 we expect an increase at Norton of 300 per cent." He said to reduce chances of an air collision, the new C141 Starlifter jets at the San Bernardino base are conducting the majority of their training flights over the March, Palmdale and Edwards bases. In addition, Air Force pilots are using instruments on landings and take-offs "regardless of the weather," the wing safety officer explained.
