Station looking for program ideas
KAMU-TV Channel 15 has a new program entitled “On
Our Way” that will focus on teenagers, their concerns and
their activities.
The program will comprise several half-hour segments
and a final one-hour special, all of which will spotlight local
teens and issues affecting them.
“On Our Way” is being co-produced by two communica
tions students at Texas A&M University. Director Nancy
Weatherley and Hostess Jane Brust are undertaking the
project for credit as an independent study course.
Weatherley and Brust welcome suggestions of topics and
personalities for the three segments. They need names and
phone numbers of teens with interesting or unusual talents
and hobbies for personality segments. In addition, they need
to know what kinds of topics should be explored. Possibilities
are deciding on a college career, coping with divorced pa
rents and sibling rivalry.
Suggestions can be addressed to Weatherley & Brust, c/o
KAMU-TV, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX
77H4S.
The first broadcast of “On Our Way” is expected in late
March.

In addition to aiding the
Boy’s Clubs and the Girl Scouts

the fund-raising functions of the
United Way, Fleischer said.
Approximately 100 of the 500

NEW YORK DAILY NEWS
From the China Wall to Carnegie Hall with other important stops along the
way, The Canadian Brass has now emerged as the premiere classical brass
ensemble in the world. While still maintaining traditional values, they have
developed a performance style that simply shakes the cobwebs of pomposity
right out of centuries-old performing style. Their success is the ability to
combine solid musicianship, spirited comedy and a pleasant informal stage
manner into a delightful evening’s entertainment.
