Round Table Enters Twelfth Year As it enters its twelfth year of continuous broadcasting, the University of Chicago Hound Table is geared to the wartime emergency and dedicated to the task of maintaining its objectivity and impartiality, presenting outstanding experts in discussions of problems of national significance. With the broadcast We Sunday (Feb 1, 1:30 p. m. CST) the Round Table celebrates its eleventh birthday, and examines the state of the morale and the progress of industrial mobilization for victory. From an obscure beginning in 1931 as a local program over station WMAQ, Chicago, the Round Table has grown in popularity and influence until today it is broadcast by more than 100 stations of Red Network and receives an estimated audience of nearly ten million.

Keeps Step Keeping step with swiftly mov. ing world events, and to guarantee comprehensive coverage of problems of national importance, the Round Table has increased the proportion of outside experts brought before its microphone. During the last year more than one-third of the broadcasts have been from outside New York, Washington, and Boston. In recognition of the Round large audience and influence, and typifying democracy at its best, many leading figures in the defease program have come before the people on the Round Table for a free discussion of the problems with which they are concerned. In recent months Attorney General Thurman Arnold, Secretary of Agriculture Wickard, Byron Price, director of censorship, and Brigadier General Lewis B.

Hershey, director of selective service, have participated in Round Table discussions. Are Capable. The Round Table is the oldest educational program continuously on the air, and only six other net work programs have been on the air for a longer period of time. In educational broadcasting the Round Table pioneered the assumption that radio listeners are interested in fundamental problems as well as headlines if these problems are intelligently and clearly discussed. As professors Round Table participants are capable of dealing with the most complex subjects in an intelligible manner.

Three first-place awards for merit in educational broadcasting were received by the Round Table during 1941. The National Radio Committee selected the program as the one most to the safeguarding of our essential freedoms." For the third successive year the Round Table placed first in the educational category of the Cleveland Plain Dealer radio poll. At the close of the year Radio Daily announced that the Round Table had been chosen the educational program of in its fifth annual poll of radio critics. Informality Through the years the Round Table has cultivated an atmosphere of informality, and listen ers eavesdrop on the experts as they take ihe measure of a problem, dissect it, and piece together logical solutions and alternatives. The technique of absence of prepared speeches and loaded arguments, and the give and take exchange of has guaranteed a balanced prescn tation of the facts on Round Table broadcasts.

Without time for oratory, observations are more acute, and there is no impulse toward exaggeration or dialectic when such practices may be exposed immediately by the next speaker. Scriptless The Round Table was the first scriptless network series, but many hours of discussion precede each broadcast half-hour. Speakers meet usually the day before the broadcast and narrow the area of discussion to several essential points. Sunday morning the speakers prepare a topical outline of their discussion and each scribbles notes and reminders to himself on this outline. About two hours before broadcast time the mike is opened and the trio go to work as if the program were on the air.

A recording is made and played back to the speakers for criticism Having heard their own mistakes and omissions and studied their microphone technique even time broadcasters may sound like professionals when the Round Table hits the network an hour later. 30,000 Copies Public reaction to Round Table broadcasts may be measured by the weekly mail which ranges to many thousands. Each week listeners write to the university, for printed copies of the discussions, and as many as 30,000 transcripts have been requested! for individual broadcasts. More than 4,000 listeners subscribe to the Round Table and receive verbatim transcripts of the discussions. The transcript is used by many teachers of social and political science in high schools and colleges.

In addition to the discussion the transcript contains added factual materials in the form of footnotes, maps and graphs, and a bibliography of supplementary readings on the topic discussed. Grant Made In 1938 the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, established to foster! the dissemination of information of an economic nature, made a grant to the university to permit the Round Table to bring outride experts to its microphone, publish transcripts of the discussions, and to conduct experiments in educational broadcasting. Since the first issue of the Round Table transcript was published more than 1,000.000 copies' have been requested by listeners either singly or by subscription Round Table subscribers may be found in all parts of the from Australia to China, South Africa to Argentina, and in England, Liberia, Hawaii, and One copy is mailed each somewhat hopefully to Zamboanga: right in the middle of the Japanese occupied part of Mindanao island in the Philippines.
