Journalism Professor Shows Faultsl
In American Newspapers At
Club Luncheon
OUTLINES REMEDIES
Prof: Joirn'L. Brumni of the jour-
nlismn departrment, was the principal
speaker at the luncheon of ,the Cos-
mopolitan club yesterday noon- in
Harris hail. He spoke on the cor4
rection of faults in American news-
papers.
"Mencken and others have con-
demned the lack of truth in the pa-
pers and their commercialism which
forces them to appeal to the mass
which cannot be induced to buy the
truth, and which compels them to put
out early editions before there is any
news of the day."
Brumm defended the commercial-4
ism of the papers by stating that
they must be business successes be-
fore all else, and that their faults
are no different than those committed
in any other commercial enterprise..
"There is a difference," he said,
"between truth, and fact. A news
story may be as near as ;possible to
the facts without telling the truth.
Facts are wrested fr~om their context,
giving a distorted impressionI which.
is far from the truth. This 'is es-
pecially true when economic and
sociological problems are involved,
such as an interview with a criminal.
This evil in the press can never be
corrected until reporters are educated
in the problemvp of human nature
and can use the flacts so that they
give a truthful impression."

number of questions discussed at the 1
meeting, but was the only one to
bring forth lengthy discussion. The
other questions which were referred
to committees, which will be appoint-
ed, were as follows:
The location of fraternity houses;j
to decide' whether 'a zoning system
should be established, to keep the lo-
cation of houses under the control off
the authorities.
The cost of fraternities; to 2keep
the fraternities from building houses
that are too costly for the; average
student to enjoy.
Some plan of deferred rushing, dif-j
ferliF from the present system which';
is thought by" many fraterniities ;.o
be unsatisfactory.
Scholarship; some' plan which
Wright be used in raising the scholas-
tic standing of the organizatioutl
Consider Fire Inspectiomn
In considering the question of in-1
spection of the', fraternity houses for
fire hazards and unsanitary conditions,
the gathering expressed its 'hearty
approval of such a plan and desire !
that the University proceed with such
inspections.
During the discussion of fraternity~
fiances, an alumnus suggested that
the University audit at cost twice a
yer or even monthly, the books of
the fraternity. He felt that in this
way many of the present difficulties
arising from the changing of house
treasurers would be eliminated.
Dean Joseph A. Bursley, dean of
students, who presided at the mneeting
after President Little had made his in-
troductory remarks, reported that out
of the 81 fraternities on the campus, ;
more than 70 of them had replied in
onle form or another concerning the
three plans which were presented to4
thema for prohibition enforcement. Of
the general fraternities, 25 selected
the fatuity 'pan, 25 the student plan,
3 the proctorial system, and 3 .did{
not reply.GO the professional fra-
ternitis,11. took the faculty plan, 11
thme student plain, and 2 asked for
proctors.
Durig the course of the meeting,
President Little stated that he hoped
that this was only the first of a series
of gatherings of the fraternity alumni1
for discussion with the authorities 3f
housing problems and other matters
affecting the University and the fria-
