           REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON BROADCASTING POLICY

           The Committee has assumed it was assigned the task of
     reviewing the policies pertaining to the broadcasting of
     athletic events.   It has studied the rules now in effect
     at the University of Kentucky and has tried to evaluate
     them in the light of the procedures of several universities
     and of comments made by several radio stations in Kentucky.
     The Committee is indebted to liessrs. Sulzer and Shively
     for gathering this information

          By and large the radio stations endorsed the present
     rules,   They seemed to like many of them and to accept
     most of them.   They support unanimously and strongly the
     policy of non-exo1usivity,    The Committee concurs whole-
     heartedly on this point.    The stations accept the present
     financial rates but they claim they are as large as the
     traffic will bears   Some of them suggested that radio sta-
     tions are entitled to the same status enjoyed by the press.
