J-School Dedication Begins; Freedom In Crisis-Canham
Freedom today is in the midst of a crisis, and the job of promoting understanding is a task for all, Erwin Canham, editor of the Christian Science Monitor, said at an all-student convocation today.
Friday, Feb. 22, 1952
He gave the third annual William $ \textcircled{4} $
He gave the unit the task:
Allen White Memorial address, Mr. Cain's task as keeping people alert to the constant dangers of freedom, helping them to understand existing freedoms, and challenging the status quo.
He said the dangers spring from three causes.
"Our failure to make clear to enough people the importance to them, in their daily lives, of the instruments of freedom.
"The efforts of power-hungry men and regimes to destroy freedom.
"The gap between our words and our deeds, the need for doing our job—as the agents of the people—more effectively and responsibly."
Mr. Canham asserted that we are living at one of the turning-points of human history.
Mr. Canham said the atomic bomb has kept Communist power from spreading farther into the Russian satellite nations. He explained that the United Nations, acting "almost by instinct rather than by rational thought," saved Japan by fighting in Korea.
Mr. Canham described as "the biggest of totalitarianism's big lie" the widely accepted belief that the capitalist world is defending the status quo while communism is dedicated to change.
Germany's complex industrial system might have been destroyed if the United States had not resisted in Berlin and "prepared the nucleus of a western European force," he said.
"We find ourselves today in a situation where the physical strength of the anti-Communist alliance appears to be growing, and where our moral solidarity and sense of community is also growing, but with many setbacks and grave dangers," Mr. Canham said. "We need moral tenacity and steadiness and patience in these days more, perhaps, than anything else. We need to understand and to communicate to others the essential terms of the crisis."
The capitalistic system is not "shackled to the status quo," he said. It is based on the rights of man, "not man as a more selfish anarchistic entity, but man, God's man, as the highest social value in the community—which often means
ERWIN D. CANHAM
The three-day dedication program of the remodeled $300,000 building of the William Allen White School of Journalism and Public Information began today.
However, "n newspapers do not own the right of press freedom," he said. "It belongs to the people. Newspapers are merely stewards."
sacrifice of selfish purposes for the good of all."
Mr. Canham admitted that great strides have been taken toward generalizing opportunity and accomplishment in the United States, but said he believes "we have not yet begun to make the case which will save freedom for the people of our nation and of the world."
"More and more leaders in the fight for freedom have realized that the key to survival is the acceptance of social responsibility," he said. "They have acted on that knowledge."
Journalism Fraternity To Initiate Sixteen
Sixteen men will be initiated into Sigma Delta Chi, professional journalism fraternity at 5:15 p.m. today in the Eldridge hotel.
The initiates will be honored at a banquet following the ceremony. Erwin D. Canham, editor of the Christian Science Monitor, will be guest speaker.
Erwin D. Canham, editor of the Christian Science Monitor, began the program with an address at 9:20 this morning before an all-student convocation in Hoch auditorium.
The actual dedication program of the new building will be at 11 a.m. when Mrs. White reading room of the school Burton W. Marvin of the school will give the dedication statement to 185 special guests.
Dolph Simons, publisher of the Lawrence Journal-World, will preside at the dedication luncheon at 1 p.m. today in the Crystal room of the Eldridge hotel. Henry J. Haskell, editor of the Kansas City Star, will give some remarks on "The Personal Side of William Allen White" at the luncheon.
Rolla Clymer, editor of the El Dorado Times, will give the luncheon address on "W. A. White—A Personal Estimate." He will be introduced by Oscar Stauffer, publisher of the Topeka State Journal.
Mr. Canham will give the address at a dinner at 6 p.m. in the Crystal room. The dinner is sponsored by journalistic fraternity for women, and Sigma Delta Chi, professional journalistic fraternity for men.
Journalism school alumni will meet at an informal "get-together" at 11 a.m. Saturday in the Crystal room. A 12:15 p.m. luncheon in the grill room of the Eldridge hotel will follow the meeting.
Prof. L. N. Flint and Prof. Elmer F. Beth will speak at the luncheon.
Open house for alumni at the new journalism building will be from 2:30 p.m. Saturday. Submit open house will be from 2 to 5 p.m. Sunday.
The Kansas legislature first provided for the remodeling of the Fowler Shops into the new journalism building in 1945 with a $150,000 appropriation. In 1947, $150,000 more was voted.
Faculty and students first moved to the new school January 25.
KFKU To Record Talk
KFKU will record the convocation address of Erwin Canham, editor of the Christian Science Monitor, and will present a half hour portion of it at 7 p.m. today as a delayed broadcast. The recording will take the place of the Chamber Music program usually presented at that hour
Draft Eligibles Can Relax—For Awhile
BY JOHNNY HERRINGTON
University males can sit back and relax—at least until June—without fear of being called by Uncle Sam's armed forces. That's the latest report from selective service officials.
The report stated that youths in college whose grades are good will continue to be deferred until graduation. There is some speculation on this point, since the final decision as to whether or not a service-ripe man may finish his senior rear rests with his local draft board.
Good students or ROTC cadets may be able to complete four to six years of education before service, the report says.
Draft needs have been altered somewhat by decisions regulating the size of the armed forces. The goal in military man-power is being reduced by 300,000 men from
4 million to 3,700,000.
Officials predict a big jump in draft calls in April and May. But total man-power needs are declining at this time.
Draft calls as a result of this decision are to be reduced slightly in 1952 and later years, officials say. Calls will flare up from time to time when volunteering lags.
Youths 19 years old will not be called for service in most areas until the fiscal year which begins June 1, 1952. Draft directors have been ordered not to make a general
Draft officials report that physical standards will remain high. There will be less pressure to squeeze out the last man from available pools of man-power.
drive on men under 20 until they have cleaned out the backlog of older men.
Universal military training, regardless of its ultimate fate, is not to affect the draft prospect now, officials say. Draft needs are determined by the rate at which the services grow toward their goal and by the size of the goal.
Armed forces now stand at 3½ million. The time for reaching the goal has been delayed nearly a year to June 30, 1953. The main need now is to be for replacements of men whose terms of service are running out.
In the current fiscal year ending next June 1, one million men will be needed. Nearly all will be civilian volunteers and draftees.
