6 Tuesday, July 3, 1973 University Daily Kansan --- Polish Groups Resent TV Jokes By JERRY T. BAULCH BY JERRY T. BACLUER Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON—Polish Americans, stung by what they called a barrage of demeaning "Polack jokes" on ABC-TV, petitioned the government Monday to force the network to give them equal time to respond. The Polish American Congress, in filing the petition with the Federal Communications Commission, said it spoke for 10 million Polish Americans. Attorney Thaddee L. Kowalaki, chairman of the Anti-Detainment Corrlisation of Mexico, and other officials. "We intend to fight the increasing bigotry in the media. "If necessary, this will be the first of several suits," he said. "ABC-TV is not alone in its responsibility for presenting a negative and insulting image of the Polish American in its national programming." The petition mentioned several shows but singled out an ABC broadcast of the Aug. 10, 1972, Dick Cavett Show hosted by Steve Allen. "An alleged apology" was made by Steve Allen on Aug. 11, 1972. The petition said: "This statement was not an apology at all, but was surrounded by a comic setting and was the basis for more demeaning humor, rather than a serious expression of regret." The Polish American Congress said Kowalska made several requests to ABC for help in rescuing the students. Other shows mentioned in the petition were the "Salute to Howard Cosell" on May 21, 1973, and the "Burns and Schreiber Show", June 22, 1973. ABC was blamed for "an insistent portrait" of portraying the black female characters of intelligence, lack of personal hygiene, comic amoral and obnoxious physical features." Kowalski said the Polish American Community wanted an "opportunity to show the true character of their culture and heritage," she added. Yet the stereotype that the networks now portray." "The current barrage of allegedly 'humorous' jokes, skits and monologues is anything but funny to the victims and only encourages prejudice and discrimination." At this point in history, respect for cultural diversity should be a primary concern of the media." The FCC was asked to rule that the "Polack jokes" on the Dick Cavett show "constitute a controversial issue of public importance because such jokes in and of themselves bellate a large segment of the population, both young and old." "Only the application of the Fairness Doctrine, by allowing the presentation of a contrary view, will afford some relief to Polish Americans," the petition said. Kowski said the networks should police themselves under the National Association of Broadcasters' Television Code, which stated that no group should be ridiculed or demeaned on the basis of race, religion or national origin.

Jo Jo White White said kids at the camp, who were It was at the camp that White first met Bud Stallworth. At the time, Stallworth was still in high school and at KU for the Mid-Atlantic League, and Stallworth had great potential and recommended him to Ted Owens. It was sound advice, because Stallworth came to KU, set a record of 50 points in a championship game and won All-American honors. Speaking in a soft voice, White reminisced about the years he spent we were like a family," he said. "We were very close, the team, the coaches and even the players." White said that while he was at KU he didn't encounter any racial prejudice. "The coaches, in particular, treated us all equally, as individuals," he said.

He said he chose KU because it was close to his home (St. Louis) and because the coaching staff offered him the best possible training available. "Of course, everyone wonders what his life would have been like if he made a dif- Waltz, who will enroll as a freshman this fall, was a member of the Pennsylvania state high school doubles championship team.
