N-A-E-B BUSINESS PAGE novik mayflorer testimony Our secretary, M. S. Novik, made an excellent and basic statement before the FCC in the editorial hearings last March. Copies of the statement will be made avail¬ able on request. Briefly, Novik made these points: 1. Essential belief in spirit of the Mayflower decision which he thinks was based not so much on the fact the licensee editorialized as the fact there was no effort made to present the opposite point of view . 2. Believes no basic difference in station obligation in presenting (a) edi¬ torial (b)one side of controversial issue by someone other than licensee, (c)political speech. (Same basic fabric). 3. YJhen the FCC said a "Broadcasters cannot be an advocate,"theymeant to and should have conveyed the thought, "A station cannot be an advocate." 4. If the FCC decides only a licensee may not editorialize, a rule is suggest¬ ed whereby the station, speakers, or employers could editorialize provided obligation is placed on licensee to present with equal opportunities and skill, in a similar manner, opposing points of view. Recommends 5. in either event the FCC sets forth clearly and unequivocally obligation of licensee to present well-rounded discussions of all controversial issues. This was original intention of Congress. STATION COVERAGE MAPS NAEB central office is still trying to compile complete coverage data of all member stations—actual and potential. Will each station please send .5 millivolt contour maps to R. B. Hull, WOI, Ames, Iowa? To date KUOM(University of Minnesota) and WBAA (Purdue University) have checked in. We are waiting for others. Original instructions requested a certain-type Rand McNally map. Give us any project on any good county map. Also please include any other data you may have such as BMB surveys. Conian surveys, etc. The contour map is most needed, however, as an esti¬ mate of potential, Lhen these data are in. a complete compilation will be done . and copies made available to each member . BILLBOARD OHIO INSTITUTE QUESTIONNAIRE It is suggested each member who has received this answer it with due and proper care It is an opportunity to make a fair evaluation ©f the Institute. Some have felt much of the industry criticism of Columbus has prompted undue sensitivity. Colum¬ bus has definitely not been a battleground between educators and commercial radio for many years. And it will be highly unfortunate if the attitude should resume. Many commercial broadcasters have not been aware of what actually goes on at Columbus (e.g.,opening session comments by N.Y. commercial representatives was based on 10-year old data).
