College Choir to Perform Yule Music on Television in Major Cities

Choir Director Carl A. "Pappy" Fehr has 80 voices in his Wil- liam and Mary Choir this fall and for many alumn, the Choir's "Songs of Christmas" program will bring the campus to the home television screen at Christmas.

The Alumni Office will make every effort this fall to alert alumni in the viewing areas where the holiday pro- gram will be seen as soon as definite information is available on the time of scheduling.

WVEC-TV in Hampton, Va., will again produce the popular television show in the setting of the Wren Building and the Sunken Garden areas of campus. The College is in the process of "promoting" the pro- gram across the country in an effort to enlarge upon last season's 15- station "network".

Tentatively, alumni in these areas will be able to see this year's holiday program (the program won't be filmed until early December, so the stations will not actually schedule the show until they see it):

In Virginia -- Roanoke (WDBJ- TV), Harrisonburg (WSVA-TV), Richmond (WTVR-TV), Tidewater- Peninsula (WVEC-TV).

Eastern U.S. - Washington, D.C. (WTOP-TV), Philadelphia (WFIL- TV), Erie (and cablevision network) WICU-TV; Watertown, N.Y. (WWNY-TV); New York (WPIX- TV); Cincinnati (WCET-TV); Ak- ron, (WAKR-TV).

Midwest - Chicago (WGN-TV), Denver (KWGN-TV) and Duluth, Minn. (KDAL-TV); Phoenix, Ariz. (KPHO-TV); Minneapolis (WCTN- TV); Austin, Tex. (KLRN-TV).

West Coast - Los Angeles-Holly- wood (KCOP-TV).

The program ordinarily is shown on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day
