(Continued on Fags Two) At The Pi Kappa Speech Contest To Be Held At Stetson, March 26-28 Stetson Grad Holds Science Tele-Classes A former Stetson University biology major is .jiow one of Florida's outstanding teachers in the rapidly-expanding new field of educational television. James P. Hendrickson, a 1958 graduate, teaches thy television some' 35,000' third1 and: fourth graders in nine Central Florida counties'. Hendrickson's course, "Exploring Science," is telecast weekly by Central Florida Educational Television. The teleclass is designed to marshal all of the Visual arts, animals, and experiments that 'can possibly be brought together, to enrich science instruction, Hendrickson says. He points out that this means many of the aids used are those not normally available to classroom teachers in the elementary grades. UNIQUE FIELD "Educational television is a unique field which holds great promise for the future," Hendrickson declares. "I find my ETV work challenging and rewarding." A TV studio teacher must do a lot' of 'research;■', gather"' visual- aids, and check "with other experts . on a particular subject, Hendrickson says. The Stetson alumnus also often selects accomplished students to appear on his programs. Their -demonstrations serve to heighten viewer interest, giving students something with which to compare their own learning. "Studies on animal life comprise about one third of our programs," Hendrickson points out. "We try to have live animals in the studio for these days." "We also study geology, weather, astronomy, space travel, plant life, and physical sciences. Mr. Torso, a talking, life-size model .of the human body, is probably our students' favorite performer on health programs." Hendrickson has been teaching "Exploring Science" since 1963,' when he was selected through a. series of competitive auditions. He' is responsible for, planning each lesson using' a curriculum guide written by a, committee from the nine counties. After his graduation from Stetson, Hendrickson served in the Army's Chemical 'Corps at Ft. McClellan, Ala., then taught biology for two years at Colonial High School in Orlando before going on television. .

His most successful- recordings are his "Peter and the Wolf," conducted by Leopold.
