UNIVERSITY FM -RAD I 0 STATION

The University Council has approved the establishment of a radio station to be operated by the University with the call sign 2NUR-FM. The University was granted a licence in June. 1976, for a transmitter with these specif­ications:

Frequen.cy.­

pOlar;zltion

Power Directional

-'103.9 MHz

- Horizontal and ,mi_l:'ed horizon­tal and vert­ical

10 KW (ERP)

Pattern Omni-directional

Subsequently. the call sign 2NUR-FM was approved. The assigned frequency is in the band formerly used for Channel 5 television. By arrangement with NBN-3 the University will use the NBN antenna on Mount Sugarloaf. NBN-3 will also purchase and operate the transmitter, which will be leased to the Univers­ity. Studios will be estab­lished on the University campus to be equipped and operated by the University. During 1976 extensive enquiries were conducted in Newcastle to determine the extent of the interest of other educational institutions and community bodies in the use of the fac­ility. ,It is expected that opportunities will be made available for these organis­ations to participate in the preparation of programme material. . In general. the station will operate within the framework of the policies which guide the University's Department of Community Programmes. It will be controlled by a Board to be appointed by the University Counci 1. The station is licensed ,to operate as a stereo-transmitter and it is proposed that its programmes should include the broadcasting of music using this system. The University is proceeding with arra~gements for the purchase of the necessary equipment and the preparation of the studios. It is expected that broadcasting will commence about mid-1977. The station will be powerful enough to reach main centres of the Hunter Valley.

Careers - Perhaps you would like to talk about alterna­tive career goals that you have in mind - Are the goals real? Are your studies relevant to those ends? Can we help by obtaining further infor~ation for you? Part Time Employment during Term - This is more diffi­cult to obtain now than in former years; however, some opportunities do arise. leave your name and address with ,us. last year nearly 300 students registered for casual employment - many were able to obtain good pocket money. Problems - If you have any problems in relation to employment matters (cadetships, time of application, where to apply, campus interviews, change of employment goals etc.) please call in and te11 us of your worries - many students have done so in the past. Some we were able to guide towards a satis­factory resolution; others were pleased of our interest; some we were not able to hel p. Multiple Visits - Employment possibilities change from year to year - the state of the economy, government legislation. competition _ therefore, the alert student continually monitors ·pros­pects from as many sources as possible. The Careers and Student Employment Office is one such Source. Uncommitted students should call and see us at least once a year. We wish you well with studies at this, your University.

SELECTED TO ENERGY COMMITTEE

Professor D.W. George, the Vice-Chancellor and Chairman of the Australian Atomic Energy Commission, is a member of a newly-established comm­ittee which will advise the Government on energy matters and assist in the formulation of a national energy policy. Announcing the establishment of the National Energy Advis­ory Committee. to consist of 18 members, the Acting Prime Minister (Mr Anthony) said the members had been selected "with a view to covering a wide spectrum of expertise in the energy field and appointed on the basis of the personal contribution which they can make to the work of the comm­ittee as distinct from any re-presentational role they might perform. "In performing its role," Mr Anthony said, "I expect the committee to act as a link between the Federal Government and all bodies working in the energy field - State Govern­ment d'epartments and authori t­ies, private companies, uni­versity research workers, learned societies and the 1 i ke.

GRADUATE BODIES HOLD 11TH MEETING A delegation. from Convocation of the University led by the Warden (Mr. B. W. Relf) participated in the Eleventh Annual Meeting of the Aust-ral ian University Graduate Conference at Macquarie Univer­

'sity from January 28-31. Eleven graduate bodies. the Australian Federation of Uni­versity Women and the Australian Vice-Chancellors ' Committee were represented. Professor K. R. Dutton, President of the Conference. chaired most of the sessions. Senator J. L. Carrick the Minister for Educatio~, gave the address at the Confererce Dinner. He stated that there had never been a more exciting time for education in Australia. In the education planning field a "greater yeasting" was occurring now than he had ever known. The two rna i n events whi ch had led to this situation were the Government's decisions to hold an Inquiry into Education and Training and to combine the three post-secondary education commissions. The Inquiry, to be led by Professor B. R. Williams, Vi ce-Chance 11 or of the Uni ver­sity of Sydney, would be con­c?ncerned with "the proper-equi p­plng of the young for life and the vocati ons" . Senator Carrick explained the decision to amalgamate the three post-secondary education commissions in the following terms: If one looked at the develop­ment of tertiary education in the 50's and 60's, ,it was obvious that the quantity of students, rather than the quality, was the order of the day. Today Australia had record junior unemployment (the under 21 group represented 40% of all unemployed). At the same time there was a record short­age of skilled junior workers. Studies had indicated that there was a growing lack of employability among the young, the bulk of whom failed to achieve educational standards suitable for ~pprenticeships and many of whom were low­achievers.

The Government wanted a major lire-think" to be carried out at every pOint in the educat­ional structure. Experts would look at the "heart" of education, learn what was happeni ng and make recolll11end­ations about what ought to happen. "We have done a reasonably sane thing having faced a tangle of problems. Technical College students had to be included because it had become urgent

to lift the standard of tech­nical college training. We will pick up post-secondary educati on goals from Professor Wi 11 lams I Conrnittee". Senator Carrick commented that in a period of economic stabilisation. when everything was being pruned. education had received increased funds. "We have bought time and are now making important evalu­ations. The task needs vision and determination to pursue excellence. " The issue of major concern at the Conference was unemploy­ment among graduates. The Education Officer (Brother M. J. Lynch. of the University of ~de1aide Graduates' Union) de11vered a challenging paper in which he claimed that Aus­tralian education was dominated by continuing high rates of ill i teracy, tota 11y inadequate technical education and a great deal of irrelevance in many tertiary studies. Brother Lynch stated: "The uni~ersity is now facing a serlOUS crisis. While nobody would maintain that the role of the university should simply be to provide professional and vocational training. far more harm is done by those who hold that university studies should develop their Own criteria without any regard to the professional and vocational factor " "The ~~'su1t of disregarding the vocatlonal outcome of university studies has been the growth of a great deal of gradua te unem­ployment especially amongst lawyers. teachers. architects engineers and accountants. • In these professions supply has simply exceeded demand. "To continue to disregard this factor will expose the university to a type of anti-intellectual attack. This anti-intellect­ualism is always present when society is asked to supply billions of dollars for education. rta'turallY I.fle 4ue:'L1UII ,:.

asked whether such large expenditures are worthwhile". The Education Officer's report pr?d~ced a free exchange of oplnlons on the role of universities and the problem of unemployment among graduates. One delegate claimed that univ­ersities were taking more students than they should in particular those whose'marks at the higher school certificate were mediocre. There was a risk that if the further growth of universities was not check­ed and there was not greater concentration on quality the status of universities would be debased. Another delegate claimed that the real question was how far universities should cater for the general education of individuals and how far they should cater for the vocational needs of the community.

Universities also had a responsibility to meet the demand from graduates for recurrent education. Another view was that univer­sities must work to ensure that they would obtain a fair share of financial support when t~e three post-secondary educatlon commissions were amalgamated. C.A.E. 's were also granting degrees but it must be made clear that there were important differences between these and university degrees. High academic standards among university students should be the main aim of the reviews now being made. Another delegate warned that tRere was a danger of placing types of education into water­tight compartments. At the University of New South Wales. for example~ great technolog­ical developments had been achieved which would not have been possible outside the univerSity environment. The plight of full-time post­graduate students following the reduction in financial support for university growth \las also raised. These students had been encouraged to think that they would obtain academic ~osts at universities. but ~he opportunity was_ now great­ly reduced. FUll-time post­graduates needed special scholarships so that they could be trained to obtain employment. The view was also aired that recurrent education for graduates, especially m;ddle­aged p~ofessionals, was urgent at a tlme when young graduates who were up-to-date in their professional training were in strong deman d. This.discussion ended with the meetlng appointing a committee to formulate a submission for presentation to Professor Wil~iams' Inquiry into Edu­catlon and Training. At the conclusion of the Con­f~rence Professor Dutton dec­llned re-nomination as President and Judge J. F. Lincoln (Macquarie) was elected to succeed him.
