"The quality of the best practice in journalism .is as high if not higher than in any of the profes- sional pursuits represented on this campus," Maurer emphasized. He attributed this quality to a mentality of "incorrigible curios- ity, incorrigible independence and a passion to study." Maurer pointed to the relation of journalism to universities by citing the "educational rooting through which the profession may draw recruits of commitment to the public weal and by determina- tion to sharpen the tools to im- prove the service." The war in Viet Nam was much on the minds of some panelists during discussions on the role of journalism as a profession, the meaning of information and the challenge of change. "The U.S. press has become ex- cessively responsible-a spokesman and partner of the government rather than a censor," Alan Barth, editorial writer for the Washing- ton Post argued. He attributed unquestioning newspaper support of government policies in "foreign adventures" to patriotism. But "criticism, con- structive and sound, is often a higher form of love for country than mere flag waving," he said. "'My country right or wrong' when espoused by newspapers con- stitutes a total abdication of re- sponsibility," he said. "In international affairs more than any other area, a newspaper must prove and challenge, asking whether national policies serve all of mankind as well. "Constant, carping criticism may irritate officials but it oper- ates to keep them up to the mark, raises the caliber and quality of government," Barth said. In Viet Nam, "we are in a situa- tion we should have faced and foreseen before we got into it," he commented. The responsibility of the press is to look critically at all the gov- ernment does abroad as well as at home, he empahsized. "We should remember what it is we must be vigilant about-the power of our own government- the sometimes reckless, dangerous, oppressive power of ourselves," Barth concluded. Lester Markel, associate editor of the New York Times, decried the inadequacies of most news- papers in covering foreign news. "We cannot have understand- ing among the peoples of the world unless they know each other better and discard false concepts of one another," he said. "American public opinion is the most important public opinion in the world because of the power of the U.S., but the 'great debate' on Viet Nam has been too charged with emotion and based too little on fact," Market contended. He called for more news inter- pretation and increased space for informational content rather than entertainment in newspapers. "Newspapers must be an in- spiration as well as an institution and a business," he said, Markel called on editors to try to educate readers to a higher level of interest in news and to fulfill their two major assignments- objective, interpretive coverage of international and national news, all of which has inevitable local impact and ramifications. Arthur Gallagher, editor of the Ann Arbor News asked the mass media to find ways of "spoon- feeding more information to the public which is mentally lazy and content to let decisions be made by a small group of experts." He pointed to credibility as one of the major problems of the press. "We must give more serious thought to the manner in which we present information or we will all be overwhelmed by information itself," Frank Angelo, managing editor of the Detroit Free Press warned. "One of our main problems is putting information into perspec- tive for readers, and getting our audience to read the information we provide," he said. Another panelist, Frank Hop- kins, director of U.S. Programs and Services in the State Depart- ment, insisted "we can't look at the world situation solely from our own perspectives. We must take into account other, foreign view- points and understand them." He cited the role of the press in furthering such understanding as crucial. Ingrid Jewel, Washington cor- respondent for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, pointed to increased tempo and development rather than outright change as the key to differences between the 1920's and the current period. Speed rather than enlighten- ment has been characteristic of the period," she said. "It is the 'why' that makes re- porting difficult today, since it is so often elusive," she adde. A report on the journalism de- partment's post-graduate intern- ship was also released at yester- day's meetings. Two-year training programs on newspapers, advertising agencies and broadcasting stations across the nation have resulted from the intensive efforts in this field. Forty-four such training pro- grams have resulted for post- graduate University students in journalism. The undergraduate program has contributed 40 post- A.N. one-year internships, primar- ily on Michigan community news- papers. Another 40 students from overseas have been given a year's academic instruction on the cam- pus. Since the program was nation- ally announced in 1952, more than 175 internships have been awarded. Full salaries are paid to students who participate in the program. They continue their enrollment in the University at a reduced fee while training on the cooperating medium and they submit monthly reports to the journalism depart- ment on studies of community problems. Supervising e d i t o r s maintain careful observation of the intern's professional develop- ment. (Continued from Page 1) Foundation project which studied the impact of the development of mass communication on society and education. At Iowa State University, Porter was a special assistant to the pres- ident and served on numerous boards and committees. The dinner honoring Maurer al- so featured an address by John Pemberton, executive secretary of the American Civil Liberties Union Pemberton cited the importance of journalism in the development of attitudes vital to a free society. "We do not have a free society today; rather, it is an 'open socie- ty,' a term which includes a use- ful connotation of relativity," Pemberton said. The accumulated tensions re- sulting from rapid social change create immense tensions which pose threats to an increase in so- ciety's openness, he said. He foresaw the role of the press in an open society as that of a communicator among the people not only to the people. He pointed out the limitations on press freedom which are im- plied in the First Amendment. In case of a "clear and present dan- ger of substantive evil as a result of the exercise of free speech and a free press," there are restric- tions on that freedom. During Porter's four years in the journalism department, he has taught courses in history of the American press, national and United Nations reporting, press law and the role of mass media in society. He has also been raculty counselor in journalism. He sees the future of the de- partment as bright, with prospects for expansion favorable. Journalism education has come in for severe criticism from aca- demicians in recent years, notably in a magazine article last year by the late David Boroff. He con- tended that journalism depart- ments lacked creativity and ex- citement and concentrated on technical routine at the expense of a broad liberal education. The University's department, Porter notes, has always been oriented toward a non-technical approach with stress on historical and analytical analyses of the press in society.

NATIONAL CLINIC OF ACCELERATED READING 18964 Coyle St. Detroit 35, Michigan 4 By JEFFREY K.CHASE The Saturday May Festival con- certs in Hill Aud. evidenced the talent of the two Philadelphia Orchestra conductors in the direc- tion of their group. In the afternoon assistant con- ductor William Smith gave a read- ing of the Tchaikowsky Symphony No. 5 which was breath taking to the audience and gave the musi- cians the feeling that something special was in the air. Drama, pacing, tension, rhythmic drive, sense of line, and form were all present in that proper proportion necessary to create the memorable performance which turned an old warhorse into a seemingly fresh and vital composition. The remainder of the concert included readings of Prokofiev's "Lieutenant Kije" Suite and the Handel-Casadesus viola concerto in B minor, with Joseph de Pas- quale as soloist. In the evening Eugene Ormandy mounted the podium for the Beethoven Fifth Symphony, theI Brahms Second Symphony, and his own transcription of the Bach Toccata and Fugue in D minor. Each was played well; with the kind of excitement one expects from the Philadelphia group. This is' how an "average" concert by this orchestra should sound. It has so much talent and we arej always excited to hear what itI can produce. The evening concert represented the Ann Arbor commemoration of Ph. 483-4680 Enrm ue On CARPENTER ROAD OPEN 7:00 NOW SHOWING SHOWN ATad i PANAVISIOW' And METRgo, OGR ALSO-Shown at 10:15 Only Ormandy's 30 years with the or- chestra and, following a few short sentences, Ormandy and the or- chestra played a transcription of a Bach chorale with a certain tenderness and sensitivity which ended the special evening. Sunday's performance concluded the May Festival. That afternoon in Hill Aud. Thor Johnson direct- ed the Philadelphia Orchestra in performances of Leonard Bern- stein's "Chichester Psalms," Del lius' "Requiem," and Serge Pro- kofiev's Piano Concerto No. 3. The highlights of this event were hearing the Bernstein music live for the first time; listening to the boy alto, John Bogart, who sang the solo in the "Chichester Psalms" so well; watching and listening to Gary Graffman spark the performance of Prokofiev's concerto with his dazzling tech- nique and his sensitive musical in- sight. In the evening Ormandy direct- ed the orchestra on an exciting journey through Aaron Coplan's "Music for a Great City." Then, after intermission, what began as just another performance of the Beethoven Ninth Symphony bloomed into a most stimulating and inspiring reading, especially in the slow, lyrical third move- ment and the choral fourth. The fact that the Choral Union Chorus contained so much po- tential came as a great surprise. They sang out, sang accurately, and sang with feeling. Expressiv- ity, a quality too often missing in their work, shown forth and seem- ed to mushroom through the chorus to inspire it to even greater achievements. Bravo!
