THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THREE THE MICHIGAN DAIIA PAGE TH1~EE Editor Attacks Failings of Journalism Quad Food Protested 'CHAMP' PATTON STEPS DOWN: Drum Major Blows Last Whistle of Career By EDWARD GERULDSON Journalism as it is practiced in the United States today lacks understanding of the American people and their needs, Norman Isaacs, managing editor of the Louisville Times, said here yes- terday. Speaking at a lecture sponsored by the journalism - department, Isaacs declared, "While some of the journalism in the United States today is clearly of a very highi order of responsible performance, there is entirely too much of it which is degraded, both from a professional point of view and from the reader's side." { "Too many of our modern news- papers," he said, "have a dupli- cating machine process - canned news and canned editorials, many written in a far-off city." Appalled at Conformity Isaacs said that he was appalled + at the overpowering trend in re- cent years toward conformity. He expressed delight at the "signs of revolution" on campus last night, referring to the student demonstrations over residence hall menus. "This is the first sign of stir- rings on an American campus in years," he declared. "Too bad it wasn't over something more im* portant." Isaacs stressed his belief that a newspaper's primary function in a society is public service. "I have come to feel," he warned. "That our greatest shortcoming is that of intellectual insularity. We have a tendency to put out newspapers more for each other' than for the people we are osten- sibly serving. The fetish of em- phasizing the technique of our calling has very nearly resulted in the form overpowering the con- "tent." Isaacs enumerated six points By S tudents (Continued from Page 1) so terribly blown up out of pro- portion all over the country." Men of Reeves and Kelsey went through the line refusing to take the main plate of corn beef and cheese. Those who did were booed as they entered the dining room and many left the plate on the relish table. Shouting followed before the, men got up and left the dining' room together. The shouting and demonstration spread only slightly to the other three dining rooms and was over in 15 minutes. Students continued to mill around outside before a group of S o u t h Quadrangle residents marched into West Quadrangle where a similar disturbance was taking place. It is doubtful if the crowd inside or outside ever ex-' ceeded 900. A group between two and three1 hundred marched to East Quad which had experienced no trouble, during the evening,-demonstrated for five minutes before moving on to University President Harlan' Hatcher's home. Dean Rea met the group and' asked them to disband saying their complaints will be taken up' if they were submitted through proper channels. The entire dem- onstration lasted an hour and a quarter. Rea said yesterday that reports' printed in Detroit newspapers that a crowd demonstrated in front of the Union and at Huron and State, that students rocked cars, that food was thrown at South Quad and that dishes were broken were "completely false." He said 'that "absolutely no damage was done." By SUSAN KARTUS It's Saturday afternoon, half- time. 100,000 fans are huddled to- gether under parkas and .blankets as the Michigan Marching Band takes the field. Leading those 161 dancing musi- cians in uniform is one Gordon' Patton, the high-stepping "Champ" from Mt. Morris, Michi- gan, the University's drum major. One isn't enough One drum major isn't enough in the Patton family, as Champ's brother is presently a drum major at rival Michigan State Univer- sity. "Champ" denies that there is any rivalry between them, but does admit that one of his most thrilling experiences was at State, when the brothers were leading their respective bands, a tremen- dous three-minute ovation was Igiven the University Band in "enemy territo'ry." Having just completed his third and final year of drum majoring, "Champ" claims the job is similar to that of a sergeant. "I have two things to do out there, he says. "The main thing is to give the band the right commands at the right time, but also we must look good and put on a good show." Student Support 'Terrific' "Champ" believes that the stu- dents' support of the band has been terrific. "They tell us if we have done a good job, but don't fail to let us know if we have done a poor one too." Drum-majoring is but one of the myriad talents and interests of the 21-year-old pre-med stu- dent. His roller skating is so proficient that he has turned pro- fessional and teaches exhibition skating. He has further directed his talents toward playing the clarinet. The drum major's campus achievements have included the presidency of Delta Sigma Phi fraternity last year. Wants to Return He would like 'very much to re- turn to the University next fall as a student in the medical school. The "Champ" suggests that you drum major aspirants realize that "you must have a sincere desire as it's a lot of hard work," he says. "But, that feeling of accom- plishment when the fans stand up and cheer makes it well worth it." Reveres Revelli William D. Revelli, director of the band, is highly revered by the retiring drum major. Champ says, "He gets as much out of us as possible, and consegently we produce like no other band." In his four years at the Univer- sity, "Champ" has seen the band do many numbers but his favorite 'is still "St. Louis Blues." NORMAN ISAACS-Managing Editor of the Louisville Times speaking on "Selling Newspaper Readers Short." which he said he believed to be basic in the newspaper's duty to society, and its minimum require- ments in fulfilling that duty: Six Basic Points (1) A concIse, literate, under- standable account of what is hap- pening. (2) An account which is un- tainted by opinion or bias. (3) A sufficient amount of back- ground information to make this news fit into a larger context. (4) Photographs, maps and other pictorial data to give the reader a visual as well as a textual conception of the news. (5) A steady ) pulling-together of the loose threads of the major developing stories so that therel can be a focusing, for this reader, on the total problem. (6) Finally, an intelligent and courageous editorial that com- ments on these new developments in such a way as to awaken the reader's interest and his reasoning powers.I "If we believe what we preach so often-that America's democratic process works-that the destiny of the nation is in the hands of the voters-then clearly it is our duty to keep the voter adequately in- formed," the editor said. The primary responsibility for the fulfillment of a newspaper's duty to the community, Isaacs in- dicated, rests with its ownership. t t""t:Q11x -i,--;.l1 t :. .41.tf:Y{{'{Y.:":{{ :":{{ Y:}: :":"::::"4'::ti:.:"::V..t}:"::1 :":"}:{: :":Vt:"}:.}:.:.:.::: j.
