GC Legislature
Votes To Support
Underground Press
The -Greensboro College Stu
dent Government Association
voted Monday to sponsor a
campaign to raise money for an
underground paper to be edited
by former editor of the COL
LEGIAN, Bob Collins.
Collins was removed as editor
last week at the decision of
Greensboro College president,
David Mobberley. The dismissal
of Collins was the result of
administrative opposition to a
short story printed in the Oct
ober 23 issue of the COL
LEGIAN.
The story, in which a dean
was shot, was written by Gerry
Hepner, a student at Greens
boro.
Collins told the GUIL
FORDIAN that he hoped to
distribute a ipimeographed paper
on Monday to explain the
circumstances of the paper to
the students and to solicit
support for the autonomous
publication.
Collins also reported that the
Greensboro SGA had appointed
a committee to study the struc
ture of the Publications Board
and make recommendations for
changes in the structure to the
administration.
Roger Mudd Speaks At Guilford
by Kyd Brenner
Responding to the recent
wave of criticism of the news
media begun by Vice-President
Agnew's speech in Des Moines
last year, Roger Mudd, CBS
Congressional Correspondent,
defended himself and his col
leagues before a capacity crowd
in Dana Auditorium Tuesday
night. "What the national media,
mainly television, have done is

World Affairs Institute Nov. 13-15
Tomorrow marks the be
ginning of the World Affairs
Institute sponsored by the
American Freedom Association
at Greensboro College. The topic
of the Institute will be Black/
Wince/Yellow - World Polariza

Development.
The American Freedom Asso

to believe that their chief duty is
to put before this nation it's
unfinished business. Pollution,
the Vietnam War, discrimina
tion, continuing violence, motor
traffic, and slums. The media,
simply by reporting on these
problems have become the
nation's critics. And as critics,
no political administration will
satisfy them," said Mudd.

mid-McCarthy years. It evolved
from a group of World Federal
ists who lost their tax-exempt
status. This World Federalist
group joined together and be
came the AFA in order to gain
their tax-exempt status once
again to stifle the rumor it
must be noted that the AFA is
not a rightest organization. The
basic findings for the Institute is
He stated that a good deal of
the criticisms arise from the fact,
that network news is produced
in New York, by New Yorkers,
who are much more aware of
society's problems, since they
experience them in their daily
lives more than any other group
of Americans. The product
which they produce is viewed
however by viewers "who are
not so disturbed by our modern
lives," the middle Americans.
"Basically that conflict was what
the Vice-President was com
plaining about, and politically he
was trying to convert the resent
ment of Middle America, it's self
doubts as fed by television, into
a political asset. Maybe he
succeeded." When asked if the
administrations attacks had in
timidated the media Mudd said
that the only people who really
were worried were the network
executives, "the brass in New
York." He observed that on the
reporting level the attacks had
not created any repressive cli
mate as some have said. He
stated at a dinner just before his
speech that if his notes of tapes
were ever subpoenaed in the
course of any kind of investiga
tion he would refuse to turn
them in, and that CBS would
defend him as much as they
possibly could.
Mudd fully agreed with the
argument that television news
concentrates on the most sensa
tional and violent aspects of the
news. "The inherent limitations
of our medium make it a
powerful means of communica
tion, but also a crude one, which
tends to strike at emotion rather
than at intellect." Television is
almost forced to rely upon
"action, which is usually violent

Jaycees (which are supporting
the program for the first time),
and from co-sponsors (civic
minded organizations from the
area).
Upon speaking with Mrs.
Katherine Sebo, who is on the
planning board of the institute,
it was learned that two years ago
the institute was moved to
Greensboro in order to attract a
greater number and a greater
diversity of people. Last summer
the topic of the Institute was the
Mid-East crisis; the Institute is
being held at this time of year in
order to gain the participation of
the students in the Greensboro
area.
Mrs. Sebo stated that "the
purpose of the Institute is to
confront the whole issue of
racial and sexual polarization
and its national and interna
tional ideals and its balance
among races."
"The speakers are all very
dynamic, controversial, and
should be very interesting."
After each speech, workshops
will be held to discuss major
points of the speeches presented;
at least 4 different topics will be
discussed in the workshops.
The revised and up-to-date
schedule is as follows:

contributions and gifts.
Legislative trends in using tax

"It will be no more than
natural to adopt those pro
cedures which not only run the
least risk of incurring penalties,
but which will reduce- adminis
trative burdens," he said.
"The complicated legal struc
ture itself may tend to be
stultifying," Thomson declared.
"Lawyers and estate planners
will be far less inclined to
recommend private foundations
to their clients than they have in
the past, and I think that is
unfortunate in many respects."
