Keio Press
Gives News-
In English
By CATHERINE RAMBEAU
A Japanese counterpart of The
Daily is The Mita Campus, a news-
paper printed in English by stu-
dents at Keio University in Tok-
yo.
Organization of the completely!
Japanese-staffed newspaper is
similar to many of the American
college papers, with several re-
porters serving under a complete
editorial board.
However, unlikedmany college
papers in this country, the news-
paper is under the complete re-
sponsibility of the student editors.
All Local News
An unusual aspect of the month-
ly is its attention to local news.
No world news is included in its
pages. A large amount of space
is devoted to intellectual activi-
ties such as debating, scholarship
awards and news from various de-
partments of the University.
The sports side of the news has
not been overlooked by Keio re-
porters; but it is written with al-
most alarming honesty.
Referring to an approaching
baseball game, the sports editor
says "these matches will be an
easy victory for Keio, because Tok-
yo University is still having trouble
trying to get out of the cellar."
Articles Less Objective
News articles in The Campus are
written less objectively than most
college papers in America, with
the editorial "we" used frequently.
A report by Tamako Yagai on the
World University Service is en-
tirely in the first person, and is
written so subjectively that the
reader wonders if it is true.
Makeup differs slightly in the
Japanese paper. Headlines are
smaller, and 'the paper employs a
tabloid fold, similar to a maga-
zine. Stories are generally short-
er, and the photographs are small-
er and rather scattered.
But the excellent English usage
throughout the paper is impres-
sive. The few mistakes are unim-
portant when it is realized that
the Keio students have published,
edited and written a newspaper in
what is to them a foreign langu-
age..

SURGEON GENERAL:
Country Must Support
Public Health: Scheele

By ERNEST THEODOSSIN
"If public health is to grow it
y should do so at the demand of the
public," Surgeon General of the
nation's Department of Health,
Education, and Welfare, said yes-
terday.
Speaking on "The Modern Pub-
lic Health Movement" to a crowd
I of 150 people at the public health
school, Dr. Scheele cited the diffi-
culty of affecting a public health
practice over the objections of
'many communities.
"In the case of fluoride satura-
tion of water, we find people who
are unwilling to accept the bene-
fits of this practice and who will
vote to have it stopped," he said.
"This, of course, is a real problem
which the public health practi-
tioner must overcome."
Polio Vaccine Contrasted
With something like Salk polio
vaccine, "when the vaccine was
announced here in Ann Arbor last
'April 12, there was almost univer-
sal demand," he contrasted.
Dr. Scheele said that as new
industries and inventions change
the course of modern life, there
is an increased need for public
health and for expansion of tech-
niques through research.
"We will always be limited

The conference opened yester-
day With a general session in Hill

MEA members from Washtenaw,
Jackson, Lenawee and Monroe,
counties attended group meetings
to discuss common problems and

politics and travel.
Today's speakers for the group1

vice-president for student affairs;'
Clifford Erickson, dean of the edu-
cation school at MSU, Ralph Saw-

to do research. But there are some
checks and balances, and these re-
late to public acceptance," he
added,
Broader Mission
"Practitioners of professional
medicine in private- employment
tend to see themselves in relation
to the single patient. We must
reecognize public health as a
broader mission," he said.
Dr. Scheele pointed out that
One of our constant calls must be
there is increased need for mental
health institutions, particularly
organizations that can accommo-
date borderline cases or that can
work with children.
He said he favors increased in-
struction of hygiene in the na-
tion's school systems and the
training of professional people
whose exclusive function is to un-
dertake such education.
Highway .Safety Important
"There are many practitioners
who would confine public health
to sanitation and communicable
diseases. But we can't ignore these
other responsibilities."
A quiet-spoken man, the serious
surgeon general added that high-
way safety was an important part
of public health. He compared the
11 nationwide deaths from polio
in the first six months of this
year with the 150 deaths result-
ing from automobile accidents in
Los Angeles during the first week
in September.
"With very little being done
about this from a health stand-
point," Dr. Scheele said that traf-
fic accidents were one of the
country's major health problems.
