Hughes "alsri pointed out Ahat much of the-nations potenti/l in tellectual power is lost dueAtp the inability of men to plage them- selves • irr’the- right line/of study. He said that IfriCaise you are a Victim of the currantjcraze for quiz shows, WT AW has two programs that should interest you. One of these, “Kam- pus Kwiz,” goes to 1 Sbisa Hall every weekday at 12:30 to find its victims. Winners receive prizes donated by) local sponsors. The other, “Name the Sponsor,” is a telephone quiz show. Every Aggie, of course, will be interested in the fact that all daytime A&M games will be broadcast over this Ideal station. Complete coverage will also be given to all “B” team games played at Kyle Field, and if possible, to those played away from, home. “Radio Workshop," a program of radio dramas presented on WTAW last semester, is another' future project of the station. Talent for parts in this program will be so licited from local residents or stu dents interested in this type of work. If possible, WTAW plans to work with the English Department on this series and present original radio dramas written by students in the creative writing course. All phases of the news, both world and. national, are presented at various .-times during the day. “News of Aggieland” presented by the Battalion, presents fifteen min-'’ rites of news for and about Aggies at 7:30 every morning. An after noon program, “The Sportsman, gives complete coverage to news of the sports world. The work at WTAW is directed by Frank J. Sosoljk who has bpen with the station since it first went on a full tim^ schedule in 1943. Sosolik, who lives in Bryan, started his career twenty years ago when he subscribed foi* a correspondence course in radio. After supplement ing this start with work, at the Tyler School of Radio and A&M, he landed a job with KTRH in Houston. From Houston he came back to A&M to join the WTAW stafL ) ' Foi- the past five years he has b’ee$ a special electrical engineer ing student and in that period of time has completed every course in radio offered at A&M. Sosolik now holds the position of acting manager and chief engineer. WTAW’s program director, 5Jra. v Betty Jo Edwardson, is probably better known around these parts by her maiden name, Betty Jo Cook, She attracted coqsfderable/attention last year as the star of the Aggie Players presentation of Hedda Gabler. Betty Jo, alko a native of -! -■<; - J 4 . rJ L Xi I ^ ■■ 4 ;• ^. l qry- an t received a B. A; and B. S. in Speech from TSCWjin 1946. She started work at WfTAW a little less than a year agd as an adver tising salesman and has since worked up to Her present position. During the past summer she took graduate courses in radio at a radio workshop in New York spon sored by NBC and CBS. Mrs. Ed wardson, whose husband is a vet student taking graduate wotrk, has her own weekday program, “Music for Housewives.” The sports department of the station is handled by Milt Fren kel, a geology student from Ty ler. Frenkel, who announces “The Sportsman,” will serve as the stations sportscaster this year. Other members of the announc ing staff are Charlie Harrison ana Johnny Holmes. Harrison, a I4Si A&M graduate from Groesbedt, is best known for his platter patter on “Record Rack." Holme? handles several programs, foremost of which is “Johnny’s Juke Box."
