If anybody saw Chaplain Lauren
Brubak,er running around in some
thing of a daze last Wednesday,
he had a good excuse for it. On that
day, December 7, his wife gave
birth to an eight and one-half
pound baby boy in Columbia los
pital. The boy, Brubaker's second
son, was named Edward Saye Bru
baker, after his uncle, who is the
student pastor at the U3university
of Arkansas.
Approximately 30 IRE and
AIEE members went to learn of
a few of the practical problems
involved in Television Broadcast
ing at the Charlotte T. V. station,
Thursday, December 1. The Insti
tute of Radio Engineers sponsored
the trip. .
At present, WBT-TV can broad
cast programs from motion picture
film only. However, by the end
of next summer the new coaxial
lines will be completed, which will
furnish Charlotte with a variety
of "live" shows from New York.
