Preface and Announcements.

The article announces that "The Journal of Social Sciences" will discontinue publishing the Supplement Series of the Lewin Memorial Award Addresses. In the past, presidential address has been distributed to Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues (SPSSI) members through a direct mailing of stencilled or multilithed copy. However, these copies tend to get lost in the mess of papers and reprints in personal files. Therefore, the journal will request of each president that his annual address be published in the journal. Events in the field of television in the United States are moving ahead rapidly due to the ferment created by government agencies through its regulatory groups and educational programs. The present collection by Lotte Bailyn will contribute to the discussion of social uses of television.
