Med Center could lose $850,000 if Carter discontinues federal aid By STEVE MAUN Staff Renorter Under President Carter's proposal to eliminate a federal financial aid program, the university of Kansas School of Medicine announced Tuesday that it is on clearance of the School of Medicine, said Friday. "The aid has been reduced for the present operating year, but the President's budget message recommended that it be deleted," Lowman said. About $250,000 already has been cut for cal 1980. However, Gov. Joe Carlin has commended that the state legislature should find a better way to fund it. The loss in federal funding would affect faculty salaries in the nursing, pharmacy and medical schools, Lowman said. He was worried that where cutbacks would have to be made. "Where we would be hurt is for the first three months of the next state fiscal year," he said. The state must decide whether to provide additional funds for the Med Center before it The financial aid program was created in 1970 under the Health Manpower Capitation Act to increase medical school enrollments nationally. To receive the money, medical schools had to increase the size of their student body by or by 10 students, whichever was greater. knows whether the federal funding will be eliminated because Kansas' fiscal year ends in July and the new federal fiscal year does not begin until October.

White award winner says Staff Reporter Calling for a new style of "exemplary journalism" to complement the "adversary journalism" of the 60's, Eugene Patterson, editor and president of the St. Petersburg Fla. Times and its Washington office, accepted the William Allen White Foundation award for Journalistic Merit Friday afternoon. Patterson, a Georgian native who has worked for the Washington Post, the Atlanta Journal and Constitution and the old United Press, is the 31st recipient of the Pulitzer Prize. He also "exemplifies William Allen White in service to his profession and his country." "TO EXPLAIN COMPLEXITY with simplicity, clarity and completeness is our call," he told a crowd of about 100, shrunken because of Friday's snow storm, in the Kansas Union. "Too often we can't comprehend complex ourselves." Patterson, who speech was the highlight of William Allen White Day activities, said that in the 50s the press practiced what he called "obedient journalism," where the press "unaccepted" the word of authority." Patterson, the 1966 Pulitzer Prize winner for editorial writing, said the public's interest was better served in the '80s when the press practiced adversary journalism with investigating and questioning. While the adversary style created some enemies in the public for the press, Patterson said, "It is a right and a duty to question and doubt." "Explanator journalism" could cause newspapers to reach the "elevated level" by william Allen White in his days as a journalist. He is one of the Emperor Gazette, Patterson said. "I come here with more awe than pride, that you honor me in his name." "Patterson said. Patterson, who served under Gen. Patton during World War II, said reading White's autobiography directed his ambitions away from the military and back to HE URGED young journalists to follow White's example in the use of language and reporting and said White handled the language in a rich and loving way. "For him the language lived," Patterson said. "A huge exuberance guided his life," he said. "What would William Allen White think of some of the cynicism that permeates today's journalistic style?" "He didn't just expose and criticize and then walk away. "I believe that he would tell us to write from our hearts as well as our spleens." Patterson, whose St. Petersburg Times is considered one of the most independent papers in a journalistic world where newspaper chains are common, said it was possible today to fight the large chains. He said he wanted his own independent newspaper, he said. "It takes a lot of shoe leather and time and a little credit at a bank, but it can be done." Patterson said. HE SAID White would have been delighted by the modern technology of newspapers because it would increase the reach of news and show more newspapers to inform the public. According to Patterson, only newspapers have "shown a capacity for showing the local news that glues a community together." "There will never be a substitute for the printed word," he said. "The written word makes our record on earth." In other White Day activities, Julie Charilt and Birk Hirschman of the Wichita Eagle-Bacon were named the winners of the Kansas News Enterprise Award for their story on questionable practices at the Eagle-Bacon Wichita area. This was the fourth time in the seven years of the award that reporters from the Eagle-Bacon have won. DEL. BRINKMAN, de the school of the DEL, institutional, said the News Enterprise Award to Mr. Brinkman, W. Marvin, the first dean of the William Allen White School of Journalism and the William Allen University. Everything You Want- Private Bus Service Indoor Pool 24 Hr. Security 24 Hr.
