b. In-School programs. (1) It is the recommendation of the in-school committee that it meet semi¬ annually, these meetings to take place the two days preceding the Ohio State Institute and the two days preceding the annual NAEB Convention. (2) All in-school programs will be selected by the in-school committee at the meeting delineated in (1). (3) Between meetings of the in-school committee* school programs will be given " a preliminary screening, so that the remaining programs can be given a careful evaluation at the meeting. Recommendation on Auditioning of Programs by Network Headquarters The NAEB Program Acceptance Committee recommends that: 1. Before a series is accepted by network headquarters, as wide a sample of individual programs as possible should be carefully auditioned. (This^is not intended to pre¬ clude the offering of occasional timely series without previous auditioning.) 2. Every effort should be made to carefully audition all individual programs before they are distributed to member stations. Such auditions will be conducted by a responsible person. 3. Based on the auditions indicated in 2, the Network Manager will: a. Withdraw any undesirable programs. . ^ « b. Notify stations well in advance of any material that may raise questions oi taste, obscenity, ethics and similar problems. , c. Notify stations in all cases where individual programs have not been so screened. k. Network headquarters will solicit, secure, and distribute available scripts and other descriptive materials about series and individual programs. This should in¬ clude all materials useful in the promotion of NAEB programs. The above measures will apply within the limits of time and personnel. 6. None of the above is designed to relieve station managers of any responsibility. The network cannot guarantee that all programs will conform to individual station policy or to the strictest rules and regulations in.all.cases. Both legally an morally the broadcast licensee assumes full responsibility for everything broad¬ cast by its transmitter. This is intended to be assurance.that network heacquarters will do all it can to make the editing job as easy as possible. Miscellaneous Conclusions and Recommendations freneral purpose of network. The network should devote its major effort to ^e^^ri- bution of "Ire 11-planned ”and~" executed programs of significant educational and.cultural purpose. It should offer a distinctive service of substantive programs having relatively long-term value. This does not exclude programs of a timely nature, which require special handling, but such programs should, in view of present facilities, constitute a minor portion of h service.
