Shaffer Extols Reporting
By FOSS FARRAR
Kansas Staff Writer
News reporting has been an exciting career for Samuel congressional correspondent for the magazine, Shaffer, who has written about Harry Truman, John Kenneen and Lyndon Johnson, spoke with journalism students during five past periods Monday in Flint HIll.
"Reporting is exciting because it gives me the opportunity to be at the very center of events. I can also do my research and make," Shafer, an editor-in-residence sponsored by the School of Journalism said in an interview.
SHAFFER STRESSED the reporter's great impact on and responsibility to his audience.
"Others see and hear their concept of the world from you," she said. "We are the million people all around the world I am interpreting events that are happening."
The reporter, whose primary responsibility is to his readers, is aware of the emotional burden and prejudices to the larger aim of trying to tell it like it, she Shaffer said. He said he is responsible as a heavey one.
Shaffer who joined Newsweek in May 1945 as a White House correspondent, prefers working in the White House or working at the White House.
"THEE ARE so many more news sources on Capital Hill. In the wake of the wheelies the human beings, responsible to their constituencies. In the White House in Washington, the President," Shaffer said.
Most Congressmen are good news sources because they want to get their names in the papers, Shaffer said. They want to let them do so, when you know when they do something so they will be re-elected, he said.
The Congressman who has a lot of seniority, however, and comes from a very safe district so that he feels confident of re-election
may not be a good news source for the reporter. Shaffer said.
Sen. Robert Dole, R-Kan,
and Republican National Committee
Chairman, was a good source on
party matters, Shaffer said. Seen

James B. Pearson, R-Kan, was thoughtful, honest and deeply concerned on the main issues, he said.
"The most dynamic person I've ever had to cover and interview was David, who said. He said he was referring to the years when Johnson was there."
"I found Johnson to be an authentic legislative genius," Shaffer explained. "To watch him manipulate his colleagues, the levers in power in Congress are a fascinating exercise," he said.
RICHARD NIXON not though the dynamic genius of a Johnson, is nevertheless less confident than Shannon. said Nick. Nixon is doing a good job under adverse circumstances because he is trying to get us out of the room.
because he can change his opinion totally if he sees it best for the country, Shafer said. He would have decided to go to Peking, he said.
Shaffer said that the most dramatic story he ever covered had been the Hiss-Chambers case, in which Mr. McCarthy era. Hiss, a high state department official, had been accused and finally convicted of the murder.
THE MOST EXCITING and surprising event in Shafer's presidency is the election of Jared Pickens presidential election of 1988. Almost everyone thought Dewey would be elected and it was a jolt when he wasn't, Shafer said.
The rewards of reporting are not found in money, but in secure and satisfying work. Shaffer said.

Capitol Interns Evaluate Program
Each summer, hundreds of college students invade congressman's offices, tourists, not as protesters, but as interns. Some of them work in Congressman's offices, some in the offices of government
Several University of Kansas students have participated in these internship programs.

John Mize, Salina senior, spenr two and one half months during his internship at the Asian Bureau of the Agency for International Development in the Philippines.
Mize said Sunday he considered his experiences working the State Department very worth mentioning. He had done as "pretty substantive." He is unable, he said, to discuss much of the research effort under his direction.
ABOUT 75 PER CENT of the work he did, Mize said, was "hard to see," and "Only." "Confidential!" or "Secret." None of the material he handled was marked "Top" in the list of documents for the most secret documents.
Mize said most of the unclassified work he did involved writing replys to inquiries by students from Asian countries. This research, he said, was generally of the type he did for Sen. John Tunney, D-Calif, which involved an inquiry about U.S. loans to South Korea.
THE OVERSEAS Craftsman's Union, Mise, said, had contacted Tunneu, asserting that U. S. loans to South Korea for industrial development were contributing to unemployment among men in the country, and construction workers hired by contractors doork work overseas.
Mize said he wrote a reply to the senator, explaining that the U. S. loan policy did not conflate with the union among the union's workers.
Mize said he had also written unclassified reports concerning East Asian countries.
One such report, he said, was a loan paper on the Philippine Islands. The loan paper involved a small amount of funding for the creation of a country which was

Steps Taken For Benefit Of Minorities
Chancellor E. Laurence Chalmers Jr. announced Monday that four major steps had been taken at the University of Kansas to further advance equality of women and ethnic minorities.
The University's Office of Urban Affairs has been redesignated the Office of Minority Affairs and will address itself to the concerns of ethnic minorities in the University community.
To provide a similar focal point for the concerns of women in the country has been established to report directly to the Chancellor. This is the first time a faculty member, and Chalmers indicated he hoped to announce his research.
The three vice-chancellors in charge of Academic Affairs, Business Affairs and Affairs were directed several weeks ago to initiate detail plans with formal action. In keeping with formal requirements these plans are to form the nucleus of a comprehensive curriculum representing representation of women and ethnic minorities among the staff and staff of the University.
To review these plans and advise the Chancellor, an advisory Committee on active Action is being established. The Senate Executive Committee has given the Chancellor a list of persons recommended for appointment to this advisory committee. The chairperson will be announced as soon as those selected have agreed to serve.
