FIFTY educational television stations throughout the country are scheduled to telecast the videotaped proceedings of last September's Dartmouth Convocation on the Great Issues of Conscience in Modern Medicine. Three 90-minute programs are being distributed by the National Educational Television and Radio Center in New York. They will be shown over three-week periods by the stations starting April 16.

The programs center on three panel-discussion periods of the convocation on "The Issues of Man and His Environment," "The Issues Concerning Man's Biological Future," and "The Issues Involved in Influencing the Mind."
