Most of the cou ses offered by TV are ones with large en rollments, but the University snay add courses dealing with radio and TV broadcasting,• which are - expected to have much smaller enrollments. The TV classes are conducted in three different ways. In one, the en ti r e course is presented over television, with the instruc tion originating in one room and being televised to a number of Viewing rooms. In another, lectures are tele vised once or twice a week and are supplemented by small reci tation sections usually led by graduate students.

He can acknowledge the ques tion by pushing in a button, al lowing the student to-speak. The question and the answer are heard by all students. The system was worked up at the University. Some of the advantages of tele vised classes, according to edu cators, are: •It is a partial answer to the increasing shortage of professors, as well as shortage of small class rooms. •It enables more students to schedule a top professor who is recognized as an expert in his field. •It gives everyone a front-row seat. •Demonstrations and char ts can be made more effective. •U.
