The programs are presented daily by the Texas A&M Video Tape Committee (VTC). The group rents tapes from a New York network, tapes concerts at the MSC Base ment Coffeehouse and provides audio-visual advertising for other University recognized committees. “Our purpose is to serve the stu dents with prerecorded rented tapes and to allow the students in our committee to become involved with actual TV production,” said John Hancock, VTC chairman. The concept for the committee started over two years ago, but wad ing through bureaucratic red tape and proving the project s usefulness has taken much longer. Program selection for this year was determined by a survey given by Joe White, programming chair man. The survey was designed to show what students like to watch on the monitors. Categories surveyed were: cartoons, comedies, concerts, documentaries and sports programs. "The survey proved that students at A&M will watch anything we put on the boob tube. We wanted to ap peal to as many people as possible this year so we decided on a wide variety of shows. We know how well each program goes over by the size of the crowd,” White said. Several upcoming programs for this year are: “Charlie Chaplin,” a Fleetwood Mac concert, a documentary on heavyweight fight ing, and the cartoon “Popeye. Four television monitors are lo cated in the MSC. One monitor is located in the basement by the snackbar, another is in the main lounge and two are on the second floor in the Student Programs Office (SPO) and above the MSC.’ hotel. Time schedules for the programs are taped to the monitors. “VTC plans to produce a science fiction play written by a member of Cepheid Variable (a MSC science fiction committee). We arc also planning a campus-oriented news show,” said Terry Stanislav, produc tion chairman. The production studio for the VTC] is on the second floor of the MSC. The room was sound and light proofed during the summer and is equipped for future productions and seminars given on Saturday mornings.
