MEMORANDUM FOR: EXECUTIVE BOARD May 12, 1969 The NAEB’s Ad Hoc Committee on Program Practices of Educational Stations has undertaken the following activities relevant to the membership resolution adopted at the November Convention. a) Advised on content and readership for a special issue of the Educational Broadcasting Review concerned with development and support of educational radio and television programs for minority groups and the dis¬ advantaged. b) Has worked with the R & D Staff on development of the scope and procedures for a study of national net¬ work program acceptance and rejection patterns by educational stations. c) Solicited topics and suggestions that will implement concerns of the Committee in the program of the 1969 Convention. On the matter of program acceptance patterns, we have a request to make of the Executive Board of Directors. To avoid dup¬ licating questionnaires to the Stations, we have first examined whether such data already existed in the files of NER and NET. Luckily, most of the material needed is available from these sources; since it was collected for administrative purposes, however, we would not want to use such data in our report with¬ out permission of the stations involved. While we do not know whether they will all wish to cooperate, we feel it would be helpful if the Executive Board were to pass the following resolution urging stations to make this information available. Resolved , that the Executive Board of Directors of the NAEB acknowledges the importance of the study of national program acceptance and rejection patterns mandated at the 1968 conven¬ tion and urges educational radio and television stations to cooperate in making available data needed to conduct this study Richie Meyer ' Chairman
