Sociologist Raps American Press
The newspaper is an instrument of entertainment, rather than an instrument of information, and should hardly be accepted as a substitute for post-school education, Nino Lo Bello declared Sunday.
Mr. Lo Bello, an instructor in sociology, spoke Sunday over KLWN as the ninth speaker in Sociology on the Air.
for the most part the American press has been remarkably free of news suppression, but much more subtle is the general bias newspapers have in favor of political and economic institutions under which they have flourished," he said.
A former newspaperman before joining the University faculty, Mr. Lo Bello said that "printed matter is often controlled on the basis of whether it will aid the newspaper to stay in business.
Mr. Lo Bello charged newspapers with spreading myths, legends, stereotypes, and erroneous and misleading information. He said that instead of covering the news the hard and thorough way, newspapers appear intent on probing certain facts and maintaining pre-conceived trends and theories.
"The air bubble of editorial omniscience has not yet been deflated," he said. "The plan fact is that most of our newspapers are filled with dangerous half-truths, over-simplifications of very complex things distortions of actual fact, repression of important data, and a hodgepodge of unimportant things."
Best Exhibit To Pittsburg
Students from Pittsburg high school presented the best science exhibit at the annual meeting of the Kansas Junior Academy of Science held May 4 at the University. They received a silver cup.
Robert Reiter, senior from Liberty Memorial High school, Lawrence had the best individual exhibit. He had a collection of about 800 butterflies and insects.
Throughout the day students from Lawrence, Pittsburg, Manhattan, and Wichita gave scientific talks and demonstrations. These were based on research work done in their science classes.
Esther Eikenberg, Manhattan, and Obed Thompson. Lawrence Junior high, received the American Association for the Advancement of Science awards.
Larry Kiefer, Wichita East, presented the winning demonstration, "Butterflies of Kansas."
About 200 boys and girls participated in the day's activities. Students from Independence High school attended, but did not enter the competitions.
Jerry Nelson, Pittsburg, speaking on "Silicon," won first in the reports division.

Advantages Of Co-op Life Told At Banquet
More than 150 persons attended the Inter-co-op council banquet May 4. Deane W. Malott, chancellor, and Tom Jenkins, president of North American Students' Co-operative league, sent greetings to the banquet.
Greetings were also sent by the Co-operative council at the University of Nebraska and the Consumers Cooperative association of Kansas City, Mo.
Speaking after dinner, Stanley Kelley, graduate student, pointed to co-operatives as "living proof of the ability of men of all races and nationalities to live together in harmony." He said that co-ops have demonstrated that students can learn to live together as adults.
"It seems that the entire University environment conspires against the attainment of maturity," he said. "The freedom which co-ops give for students to make decisions for themselves may lead to mistakes, and we have made many. But I know of no way that one can learn to be independent if one is not free to make independent decisions."
Madison Murray, College sophomore, was elected co-op All Student Council representative.
Luther Buchele, executive secretary of North America Students' Cooperative league, told of the history of the co-op movement at the University.
Mr. and Mrs. George Docking, Dr.

Bv DOROTHY OGLESBEE
Senior fans have objected to the inclusion of Donald Henry in the faculty team on the grounds that his talents as equitation teacher will give the faculty an unfair advantage. However, Robert Kleist, engineering senior and manager of the contest, has assured them "experience is no factor in this game."
Rescuers pulled three men from the burning wreckage. One of them died a short time later in the Sandia base hospital, but physicians said the other two were expected to live.
Members of the hard-riding, fast-talking faculty team will be Aubrey Gibson, instructor in mechanical engineering; D. D. Haines, associate professor of civil engineering; Robert Morrison, instructor in economics; Jack Wichert, assistant professor of economics; John Wheatcroft, instructor in English; Charles Oldfather, assistant professor of law, and Donald Henry, instructor in physical education.
Dean T. DeWitt Carr of the School of Engineering will open the K.U. donkey polo season by tossing out a volley ball to the waiting polo players.
A ferocious faculty polo team will clash with a band of vengeful seniors Tuesday afternoon in a fast-moving, action-packed donkey polo game.
The game will be played in four eight-minute quarters on the open grasslands at the east side of West Campus road. If you're confused just where that is, join the senior parade at 2:50 p.m. in front of the Union and you'll end up at the polo grounds.
The seniors will be out to avenge the beatings they have taken at the hands of the faculty for the past four years. University polo fans (like all good sports fans do) will cheer with wild enthusiasm as the seniors sweep down the field on their burros brandishing brooms in hot pursuit of an oversized polo ball.
Carey, engineering seniors. Paul Coker, fine arts senior, will coach the senior team.
For the benefit of the fans, players will wear numbers to distinguish them from each other and the donkeys. Programs will be available.
Senior day activities will include a parade of floats down Jayhawks drive from the Union and a snake dance. The College and Schools of Business, Engineering, and Fine Arts have entered floats.
A previously scheduled tug-of- war has been cancelled.
At 5 p.m. a barbecue picnic will begin at the picnic grounds west of Potter Lake. Tickets for the barbecue will be on sale today and Tuesday until noon at tables in front of the library, in Strong hall, and in Marvin hall.

Philippine Typhoon Kills 18
Manila (J.P.)—Eighteen persons were killed, 39 injured and thousands made homeless by a 90-mile-hour typhoon that struck the central Philippines and southern Luzon island last weekend, police reported today.
Four airmen were killed when two trainer planes crashed into each other while being evacuated from the path of the storm south of Manila. Others among the dead included six seamen.
> The huge 10-engined plane, costing $3,500,000, crashed and burned with 25 men aboard as it was coming in for a landing Sunday afternoon. Witnesses said flames were streaming from the right outboard engine as the plane turned into the landing lane.
W. W. Jones, chief controller at the base's control tower, was first to spot the burning engine.
"I called the pilot and told him his outboard right motor was on fire." Jones said.
He said the pilot acknowledged his landing instructions and gave no indication of trouble as he pulled into the landing lane.
All of those aboard were from Carswell Air Force base, Fort Worth. Nine of the dead were crew members and 14 others were passengers en route to temporary duty in New Mexico.
Tokyo (U.P.)—United Nations forces attacked at both ends of the 100-mile Korean front today and sent a tank patrol rumbling unopposed into strategic Chunchon at the center.
The communists stood and fought only at the western and eastern ends of the front. They still were retreating elsewhere, presumably to regroup for the second round of their suring offensive.
"The war is about over," they were quoted as saying.
However, intelligence reports in the western front above Seoul quoted North Korean officers as saying there would be no further communist offensive.
E i g h t h Army headquarters sources were skeptical. They said more enemy vehicles than ever before were spotted last night moving reinforcements and supplies to the front.
The 8th army seized the initiative all across Korea in a series of limited attacks and aggressive patrols.
Israeli-Syrian Front Is Quiet
Tel Aviv, Israel (U.P.)—An uneasy lull prevailed along the bloody Israeli-Syrian border today, but fresh hostilities were feared hourly. Israeli Foreign Minister and Acting Prime Minister Moshe Sharett disclosed Sunday night that he has asked the Western Big Three to help restore peace along the disputed frontier.
Fierce fighting along a 15½ mile front stretching from the northwest tip of the Sea of Galilee to the Hule swamp ended at least temporarily late Sunday.
