U.S. Newspapers, Failing To

By RICHARD BURNS
The role of the press in easing
race tensions, and its failure in
filling this role to date was describ
ed by Washington correspondent
Ben H. Bagdikian Wednesday night
as he delivered the third 1961-62
Journalism Lecture.
The Chief Washington Correspon

and The Eevening Bulletin spoke
on "The Press, the Past, and Social
Change."
Our "most profound social prob

Race With Moon Shot
GOLDSTONE TRACKING STA
TION, Calif. (UPI) The free
world scored its first hit on the
moon Thursday with the Ranger-4
and jubilant scientists left little
doubt they believe the success put
America back in the race with
Russia to land a man on the lu
nar body.
But Russia also claimed success
in launching an unmanned Sput
nik in a busy day in space on
both sides of the Iron Curtain. The
Soviet shot, Cosmo IV, was in

SEAT BELTS Pretty Mary Gilroy demon
strates the use of the automobile seat belts be
ing sold, non-profit, by the Chapel Hill Jaycees
until May 1. They are being sold and installed
at $6. A Jaycee official said yesterday that 75
per cent of all people will be involved in acci
dents in the next 5 years. Of these accidents,
60 per cent of the injuries and 50 per cent of the
tion between the racial groups is
fluent, Bagdikian says.
. Negro News Neglected
(Most American dailies fail in race
relations by not reporting the
ordinary social events of the Ne
gro community.
The white community sees only
the picture of conflict and crime
among Negroes. Bagdikian sees
this failure as "Not so much sup
pression as ignorance."
Another weakness in the Ameri
can dailies is the "cliche mind."
This is "a fixed model of some
thing in life which a publisher or
liard, Garland Carlton, Frank Mc
Swain and Pete Bondi.
There were ' no changes in the
leadership of the Drum and Bugle
Corps and the Drill Team. The for

John Corbett while the latter, will
again be directed by Pender Mc
Elroy. The Battalion structure, in ad
dition to the Drill Team and Drum
and Bugle Corps, includes three

posed of three Platoons headed by
a Midshipman Ensign.

"The next one we make will be

Dr. William H. Pickering, direc
tor of Cal Tech's jet propulsion
laboratoly in evaluating the
"crash landing" of Ranger-4's 730
pound moon probe on the far side
of the moon at 7:49 a.m. EST.
"The Ranger-4 is a big step for
ward. We are certainly doing more
complex experiments than the Rus
sians so you can use your own
judgment."
He had been asked how the Ranger-4
achievement, despite the
fact it did not take pictures be
cause of a technical flaw, placed
the United States in regard to
Russia in the exploration of the

One of these . is treating news
papers on a completely business
level. (Bagdikian says newspapers
should be thought of as "public
education for a profit."
Another is that of "the low mind
of readers." He says that although
most readers have a "fifth grade
reading ability, they do not have
a fifth grade mind."
One Track Minds
"Single mindedness" is also a
weakness of the American press.
Although newspapers are suppos

7 Michigan Daily Editors
Quit; Claim Interference
Special to the DTII
Believing that their freedom of
expression had been endangered
seven of the eight newly appointed
editors of the Michigan Daily re
fused to accept their appointments.
The seven junior editors said
they would continue to publish the
paper while asking for a reconsid
eration by the faculty-student ad
ministration board of the paper.
The eighth will accept his post as
city editor.
The board, which holds final
authority over the paper, over
ruled the recommendations of the
outgoing senior editors. All of the
newly appointed editors believed
that the board through the power
of appointment was attempting to
influence the overall editorial poli
cy of the paper, a perogative of

Editors Protest
Earlier, the senior editors whose
terms expire in June resigned and
published a front page editorial
protesting the action.
The board made major revisions
in the recommendations. Their de

petitions, brief personal interviews
and scrapbooks of newspaper arti

of an editorial director and asso

Students registered to vcrfe in
Chapel Hill Township will be re
quired to re-register between Sat
urday, April 23 and Saturday, May

ty, or who can demonstrate that
they maintain no permanent resi
dence outside of Chapel Hill, prob
ably will be able to register un
challenged, according to James
Shumaker, general manager of the
Chapel Hill Weekly.
North Carolina law gives wide
discretion to registrars in accept

there has been conflict over student
registration in Chapel Hill.
Proof of Registration
Payment of property or poll ta.?3

of bona fide residence. Another
may be proof that no permanent
residence is maintained elsewhere.
New voters who can establish a
