Block result III U There are various advantages to lack of competition, the speech said. There is "no need to sensa- tionalize" news or "to over- or under-emphasize it in order to get more readers." Many newspapers in competitive cities "may try to give the impression that a rival's scoop isn't worth much." In addition, there is "more free- dom from financial pressure," and as a result the newspaper can af- ford to take an unpopular stand, Block's speech said. Many people raise objections to single ownership in a city, he con- tinued. One major objection is a "reaction to the word 'monopoly'." "Clearly," he said, "newspapers are not monopolies in the sense of electric companies." They have "competition from TV and radio. Another objection is that "there is' only one voice in local affairs," the speech continued. The exis- tence of competing newspapers does not guarantee, it reads, that opposite sides of controversial questions will be aired, nor does only one newspaper prevent it. Atom Energy Experiments T o Be Aired New methods of harnessing atomic energy for plant and ani- mal research will be described at an Associated Midwest Universities conference schedule for April 2-3 at the Oklahoma State University. Thirty-five experts from the United States and abroad will pre- sent scientific reports on a wide. variety of agricultural research problems at the meeting. "The conference will constitute a progress report on a vital area of atoms-for-peace studies," James H. Jensen, AMU president, an- nounced recently.. The purpose of, the recently created AMU is "to promote, en- courage and conduct research and education in all branches of science, including but not limited to nuclear science in relation to all other fields of science." The conference marks the first major information meeting of the AMU.

Other areas where the head of each campus does not have juris- diction include "the kffices of ad- missions, personnel, relations with schools, and the vice-president - business affairs; the division of vocational education; university extension, university press, and such others as may be designated by the Regents as state-wide ac- tivities." Define Authrity The head of the campus has ad- ministrative authority over the business manager of the campus, who runs' his office "within the budgeted items for the campus, consistent with policies for the university as a whole as deter- mined by the vice-president -- business affairs, and subject to the approval of and direction by the Regents." "The relationship of the busi- ness manager to the chancellor, provost, or director of each cam- pus and of the chancellor, pro- vost, or director of each campus to the vice-president - business affairs has been defined by the president under date of Sept. 29, 1952, as follows: "The business manager on each campus shall have a 'line relation- ship' to the local chief adminis- trative officer, and shall adminis- ter all business operations on the campus, except as otherwise pro- vided in the by-laws or standing orders of the Regents, under the direction of the local chief -admin- istrative officers, and in accord- ance with policies established by the vice-president - Pusiness af- fairs, to whomn he shall have a" 'staff relationship', " Academic Senate "The academic senate is divided into two sections, a northern sec- tion and a southern section . Each division has its own com- mittee structure with autonomy in local matters. "Coordination at the state-wide level is the function of the aca- demfc senate's academic council, empowered to iron out differences between the northern and south- ern sections. Also, onits own ini- tiative, it may study problems of over-all concern to the university and make recommendations to the president and to each section of the senate." , ,One University' "If any one factor may be cred- ited with the development of the University of California into its present position of eminence, it is the survival of the idea of one great university for the entire state. Because the university has, continued to approach ;its prob- lems from the state-wide view- point and to meet the higher edu- cation needs of all parts of the1 state, it has received the con- tinued support of the people." 1 ROBERT MALLETT .. ,to narrate "Germany" The Burton Holmes travelogue series, sponsored by the University Platform Attractions, will open at 8:30 p.m. tomorrow in Hill Audi- torium with a color motion picture of "Germany Today."

MARSHAL CHARLTON HECTON o. - Andr Jackson A PARAAOKJNT PICTURE TUTORIAL PROGRAM: Romance Languag Speech Honors Emphasize Individual, (Continued from Page 1) The purpose of the honors pro- gram, Prof. Kiddle explained, is to give students an opportunity to delve more deeply into the works, of great authors. *Speech Program Superior students may enter the speech program in. the beginning of the junior year "when it be- comes effective next fall," Prof. N. Edd Miller of the speech depart- ment said. "Since the speech department offers a vast range of courses, from theatre to speech correction, we feel the student will benefit more from individual conferences with an advisor in his field of interest than from a group program which could not delve deeply into any branch," Prof. Miller said. This two-year program will con- sist of four one-hour courses and an additional two-hour seminar given in the last semester of the senior year. Began with Papers In the first three semesters the students may write papers or ex- periment with different theories in the various fields of speech, Prof. Miller said. For example, they may direct plays, which are us- ually reserved for graduate stu- dents, take part in special speak- ing projects, or do research and write library reports on phonetics or speech correction. The seminar will not be involved with any project, Prof. Miller said. Instead each student will write a paper on his field of interest and present the subject matter to the rest of the group. These reports will serve two functions. They will give the stu- dent an opportunity to do at least one significant writing project in his field of interest, and will give the group some insight on the different branches of speech. They 'are a way of bringing diverse in- terests together, Prof. Miller said. The purpose of the program is to provide some direction for experi- ences not normally available to students and give them an oppor- tunity to delve deeply in their various fields of interest. * s: FRIDAY - "SEPARATE TABLES" Hayworth-Kerr-N iven -Lancaster U TODAY Through Saturday TWO GREAT ALL TIME SHOWS IN AN ENCORE TRIUMPH!
