ELECTRONIC FIELD TRIP RAISES $3,195

TCI Cablevision's "Electronic Field Trip" raised $3,194 for Cape Girardeau and Jackson school districts.

Customers who signed up for cable or added to their services during the fall campaign received a lower-priced installation and the cable operator donated up to $5 to the school districts for each installation.

As part of the campaign, one teacher received a grant from the Cape girardeau public schools to attend the J.C. Sparkman Center for Educational Technology in 1995.

TCI's donations were also used toward the purchase of televisions and videocassette recorders for the school districts. Teachers can record and use commercial-free educational programming resources and data services, provided free of charge by the TCI Education Project.

Through the TCI Education Project, more than 20 public schools in the area have been wired for cable.

TCI serves about 14,000 customers in the Cape Girardeau and Jackson areas.
