and Donna Shipp, a junior,
were chosen as winners in the
Council's annual essay competition.
The contest was open to all
Ocean City High School
students and the subject was,
"Why I Admire My Parents."
"Local judges were impressed
with the different
approaches used by the young
ladies in expressing their admiration
for their parents,"
Schreiner said. "Today, when
family ties are weakening due
to stress and a lack of respect
for authority and adults, as
seen in some elements, of our
youth, it was refreshing to view
the opinion of the contestants
since these young people will
shape the future of our country."

to reduce violence on television
The National PTA is giving
the networks notice that it
means business when it concerns
TV violence) On July 1,
1977, the PTA will launch its
First Action Plan, the next step
in its project to effect a* 1
reduction in TV violence, and
an improvement ia- the overall,
quality of programming.
Running for a six-month time
span until January l, 1978 this
initial action phase is a
"probationary period" for the
networks, in which they'll have
the opportunity to respond- to
the demands of the PTA's 644
million members for less TV
gore and more diversity and
quality in shows.
During this time, PTA
members across the nation will
be directly involved in an intensive
training program and
activities to make the
organiation's cause visible to
the TV industry, advertisers,
and the public. At the base of all
activities will be the National
PTA's "TV Action Center," a
newly established operation
which will serve as a dear-'
ninghouse for all information
related to the project.
If there is no substantial
response from the networks by
January 1, 1978, the National
PTA will consider alternative
courses of action, such as
boycotts of advertisers,
programs, and local stations;
selected test cases of petition to
deny licensing; and civil
litigation.
The First Action Plan will
focus on a massive letter
writing campaign to the top
executives of local TV stations -
for the stations' public files -
commentingon both exemplary
and objectionable programming,
with copies to the networks,
program advertisers,
the basis for the development of
an identification code for TV
.programs, which will rate
shows by their amount . of
violence. The . code will be
distributed to PTA members
and the news media.
In addition, the training
sessions will teach PTA
members how to participate in
the petitioning process (to the
Federal Communications
Commission) for denying
broadcast license renewals to
local TV stations; and the
ascertainment process, in
which local stations are
required to obtain community
feedback on the ways in which
the station may best serve the
public interest.
The direction of the First
Action Plan evolved from the
recommendations made by the
nearly 500 individuals who
testified at the PTA's eight
public hearings on TV violence,
conducted in major cities
during the past few months.
Some recurrent themes
emerged from thoses hearings.
Findings of the PTA's TV
Commission indicate that the
public is most concerned about:
1) Aggression - Many
children become more
aggressive in their behavior
due to the influence of TV
violence, acting out the hostility
portrayed on television.
2) Imitative Behavior - Some
young people will be incited to
commit violent acts in direct
imitation of similar behavior
seen on TV.
3) Desensitization - Among
youth and adults, there is a
growing callousness and indifference
to violence and the
suffering it causes, due to the
quantity and intensity of
violence on television.

proportion of violent acts seen
on television far surpasses
actuality. .
6) Quality of Life - Continual
exposure' to television's parade
of murder, rape, arson, assault,
and other violence to persons
and property diminishes the
quality of life for both children
and adults.
Much debated during the
hearings was the question of
who is ultimately responsible
for resolving the problem of TV
violence. A number of broadcasters
said, in effect:
"Parents should lock up the TV
set!" Members of the PTA's TV
Commission, however, found
this response unacceptable.
While the Commission believes
that parents should supervise
children's TV viewing, to
eliminate unsuitable programs,
it also feels that the responsibility
for the problem must
be shared.
, Essentially, the broadcaster -
both local stations and the
networks have the responsibility
to present programs
which are in the public interest,
and not injurious to children
and youth. The burden of proof
that program content is not
injurious lies with the broadcaster,
not the public. The
advertiser has a similar
responsibility in the choice of
shows he sponsors.
