Can and should television broadcasts and distribution services act as links between institutions of higher education? Educational broadcasting in general has grown slowly since National Educational Television (NET) initiated "network" service in 1954, but now other groups are experimenting in telecommunications interconnection and the supplementation of existing ETV service.

The Negro colleges are often considered to be weak, but it is felt that conditions are now favorable for strengthening these institutions. Factors contributing to improvements are the national attention to the problems of Negro colleges, Federal education legislation, the general increase in college enrollment, and the heightened interest of business and industry in Negro graduates. However, the colleges must take the initiative to better prepare their graduates who are often ill-prepared in...

Advanced Placement serves the interests of three groups: (1) high school students capable of pursuing college-level studies, (2) secondary schools that desire to offer these students the opportunity of working at an advanced level, and (3) colleges that wish to encourage and recognize such achievement.

Despite the educational value of the intercollegiate debating experience in itself, tournaments do not inspire an impressive degree of participation unless there is a catalyst of competition with the prospects of rewards to the better teams. Procedures conducive to the realization of this goal are featured at most debate tournaments, in the form of elimination rounds with trophies awarded at the conclusion to the winning teams and most talented speakers. Before the elimination rounds begin,...

The author presents a tested method for the judging of intercollegiate debate rounds. The procedure utilizes three types of judges for each round: the forensics expert, the non-forensics layman, and a student participant. Their decisions would be entered immediately on a debate evaluation grid. The tournament schedule would provide time at the end of each round for the panel of judges to discuss their decisions with the participants. The author sees the advantages of the procedure as, first,...

Because of outside pressures, interscholastic debate is currently experiencing a period of criticism and self-examination, a factor which should cause debate directors to seek innovations in their programs.

Immediate feedback could be provided to the...
