2 The current (Winter and Spring) “You and Your Government” programs come between “two of the most popular commercial programs on the air, Amos and Andy and the Goldbergs. This juxtaposition is considered in radio circles a very favorable circumstance for our program.” Report of the General Chairman, Dr. Thomas H. Reed, Committee on Policy, American Political Science Association, in this Review, Feb., 1933, p. 102.

3 This procedure, with some modifications, is being followed during the current year (1933). One of the alterations is that the student who presents convincing evidence that he cannot obtain the use of a radio is required to read an article on the same subject that is being sent over the air, to be found in such periodicals as the Congressional Digest, Public Management, etc. The student writes out a summary of the article and hands it to the instructor.

4 More emphasis is being placed on class discussion this year than last. If the radio talks are expository and make no attempt to present the various views on the problem under discussion, the instructor points out the other possible angles of approach.

5 The criticism of the round-table method that it sometimes lacks terminal facilities is not borne out by the University of Chicago radio round-tables.

6 Two Iowa stations are now carrying the programs—KWCR (Cedar Rapids) and KOIL (Council Bluffs).
