USC professors featured in S.C. ETV production (AP) ? South Carolina's educational television network has embarked on its first full-length dramatic presentation in hopes the project will bring more production offers. Tli? t "Jfifl AAA me Uain/. r..?

ETV officials hope the effort will put the public television station somewhere in the league of WGBH Boston, which already produces the science show "Nova," and KCET Los Angeles, maker of the "Cosmos" series. ETV is working on a show that will feature a collection of short stories called "Tales of the Unknown South." South Carolina writer James Dickey, author of the novel "Deliverance," agreed to appear as host of the program. USC literature and film professor Benjamin Dunlap is choosing the stories to be enacted, and is writing the script. Veteran director Laslo Benedek has been hired as a consultant. "This is the largest project of this type ETV has ever tackled," said ETV spokesman Ron Rader. "It's the first oooor tunity we've had to do something like this." - , The state's public television channeli has produced many documentaries and educational programs. But the short story presentation will be a first for the station. Dunlap said the show, scheduled to air nationally on PBS stations in 1984, could put ETV in line for more, and possibly better, projects of a similar nature. rn ~ L ; ^ i r . - * - * uuiiiap nas pkkcu ror me production tnree stories by North and South Carolina writers ?

Most of the photographic work on "The Half-Pint Flask" was to be finished Sunday in Georgetown County and Bull Island. Filming for "Neighbors" will be in and around Columbia. "1 think it's going to showcase South Carolina like never before," Rader said. "These are Southern stories in Southern locales made by Southerners." i i ^ - \ 1,V- What's Mntcrcstiijg?; j CAROLINA ^Challenging? >' I CLI1S r Rewardino?
