Kim Won't Forget Guilford
KIM WON'T FORGET Guilford
Kyung O Kim, known better
on the campus merely as "Kim,"
will leave Guilford College on
December 19—tomorrow. In do
ing so, she will leave behind
many friends and will take with
her many memories of the fun
and the education she has re
ceived here.
Kim came to America for
the first time on October 20,
1958, and she came directly to
Guilford College. She has been
a student here since then, study
ing English. She was very home
sick at first, and she could un

derstand very little English and
speak still less. Since that time,
however, she reports that she
has lost almost all of her home
sickness and she has learned so
much English that she seems
like a different person.
Kim has had many newspaper
articles written about her since
she has been here. She was the
only woman pilot in the South

crown, defeating Conrad Park

valuable points for Center. Phil

points.
Next comes ping-pong singles

New York as a guest panelist of
"To Tell the Truth," the panel
quiz program on television.
Tomorrow she will go to New
York, where she will meet the
people from the International
Women's Pilot Organization, of
which she is a member, and will
discuss the future that lies ahead
of her. She plans to return to
Korea on April 15, 1960, where
she will work in the Civil Wom
an's Pilot Aviation.
She says that once back in
Korea, she will recommend the
"really good" students to come
to Guilford. She says, "This col
lege holds too many memories
for me—l cannot ever forget it.
All the people here are too won
derful—and especially I can nev

Hall."
"No matter where I go", she
tells us, "I will always carry the
title of 'Guilford student.' It is
the most wonderful title anyone
could ever have, and I will al
ways be more proud of it than
anything else I could receive."

THE GUILFORDIAN
Is Color TV For You!
Hundreds of thousands of
televiewers watching Perry
Como, Steve Allen, or any of the
top TV shows are getting a pic
ture far different from the one
you see—and the difference is
color.
For thousands of families
throughout the United States,
television's brightest stars shine
in living color. Where do you
sit in the picture—what does
color TV mean to you?
Like many revolutionary de
velopments, color television has
been greeted with mixed emo
tions. Some wonder if it is a
boon, or a burden, or a com
bination of the two.
Just how good is color TV
today, in its sixth year—is it
likely to improve? Do color TV
prices now represent good
value?
Those are some of the most
common queries but there are
others, of course. In fact, most
TV viewers have more questions
than answers about color tele
vision but perhaps that is due
to the surprising fact that only
two of three TV fans have yet
to see a color telecast. And that
says nothing about the fine
points—the important points—
of pricing, servicing and tech
nical progress.
However, a survey of experts
in the color field—broadcasters,
manufacturers, retailers and
television critics yields some
informative, straightforward an
swers.
Color programming has ex
panded tremendously in the
five years since the first com
mercial color cast . . . NBC ex
pects its 1959-60 color sched
ule to top the 668 hours of color
it presented during 1958. A rec
ord number of both special and
regular shows—including sports
casts, a new opera series, six
Hallmark plays; "Bonanza," the
first western and first regular
full-hour film in color; the Bell
Telephone musical series and
Bell System Science series, and
a lineup of musical variety shows
featuring talent such as Gene
Kelly, Shirley MacLaine, Victor
Borge and Dean Martin.
Local stations, too, are expand
ing their programs, with areas
like Boston, Chicago Cincinnati,
Philadelphia, Milwaukee, Omaha
and Forth Worth serviced by a
heavy schedule of local color
casts. Well over half of all U. S.
sations are equipped to handle
network color programs, and at
least 97% of all American homes
have been brought within range
of color broadcasts.
For the fourth quarter of
1959 alone, NBC is planning a
minimum of 250 hours of top
quality programming. Colorful
sports events will be seen in
their vivid hues through the fall.
In addition to the recent Davis
Cup tennis matches and the
World Series, eleven big foot-

ball games will be colorcast by
NBC.
Why aren't there still more
color TV shows? Many would-be
sponsors are waiting for more
viewers to buy color TV sets,
while some viewers hesitate to
purchase color sets because so
many programs are still offered
in black-and-white!
But the circle is breaking. One
out of every three NBC adver
tisers is sponsoring a color show.
Prospective sponsors now have
the evidence of polls whih in
dicate that viewers are more re
sponsive to color commercials—
and sales figures which show
that sales of color TV sets
climbed all throgh the 1958 re
cession!
Television tape, combining the
pictorial quality of live shows
with the storage and re-run bene
fits of film, promises to make
full-scale color programming a
reality very soon. Use of tape
recorders will soon make it pos
sible for viewers in every part
of the United States to have the
same choice of programs! on
any given day.
Will there be any further im
provements in the near future?
To the experts, color TV is now
practically perfect. Color fidel
ity and reception appear to have

basic structure of the color TV
set will probably not be changed
for a good many years.
That, to date, is the color TV
picture. Those who have seen it
find it sharp and exciting. If you
see it. you can decide the answer
to that intriguing question:
Is color TV for you?
