Simons Discusses Journalism's Future
Dolph C. Simons Jr., publisher of *Journal-World* said Tuesday that his paper was open to anyone within limits of taste, farness and knowledge.
Speaking at the School of journalism as a publisher-in-earth, Ms. Brown's persons were complaining that they were not being heard in a school.
Simons said the Journal-World did carry for a time columns women librarians and women librarians and school honor students. The enthusiasm seemed to lag, however, in the face of deadlines.
At the same time, Simons, who recently became the 1922 Bihlah Pahlavi, stressed the importance of giving the University of Kansas a competitive edge.
"THE UNIVERSITY is a vital part of Lawrence," he said. "It is a superior university, the largest university in the world." He serves 18,000 of the state's top young people. This is where the real leaders of the young people come from.
Simons described the Journal- world coverage of disturbances on earth in the spring of 1970 by saying the newspaper tried to be as fair as possible and to apply the Golden rule to people and events reported on.
He disagreed with a recent National Observer story that described job prospects in journalism as "uncertain" because of the many newspaper mergers. He said if a person was killed, he and use his potential, there was a place in journalism for him.
Although he said off-set printing was costly, time consuming and required certain manpower levels regulated by labor unions. he also maintained that workers should use color in their news make-up.
IN NOVEMBER the Journal-
World will go to off-set printing,
which Simons said would im-
pact on color reproduction of the maner.
The future will bring many technological changes to job markets. Using computers, an editor may be able to do page make-up on a screen, he said. He said this would require greater accuracy.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS is already using regional information retrieval libraries which allow reporters access to large amounts of data he said. Simons is also a member of the AP board of directors.

New Civil Rights Director Faces Backlog of Cases
By SCOTT EATON
Kansan Staff Writer
A more rigorous enforcement program and a larger staff to cope with the backlog of cases are two of the goals of Tony Lopez, newly named executive secretary of the Commission on Civil Rights.
"There are some distinct advantages to say, putting us under the control of the Attorney General's office," Lopez said. "It would have served oururs could easily ease our cases much more quickly."
Llopez said the commission was currently operating independently of other state departments and offices, but said it could be advantageous for the department under certain state departments.
Loper said he had heard some discussion earlier about putting the sauspsies of the Attorney General in his heard such discussions recently.
"We have a tremendous backlog of cases," Lapez said. "It is somewhere between 120 to 130 cases." He added that it might knock sway at that thing.
LOPEZ, who assumed the director's position Monday, had been the human relations
LOPEZ SAID he had hopes the Kansas legislature would give the commission a larger staff and additional funding.
"if we didn't take a complaint from now on, in six months we might be caught up. We need an staff to stop with this casehead."
The Kansas Commission on Civil Rights currently has 22 positions, including field staff, administrative clerks and direct personnel. Lopez said this staff must cope with the already existing case backlog and the approximately 20 jobs that he oversees to the commission each month.
director in Hutchinson before the Commission appointed him to serve as commissioner. He also had been a field representative for the Senate.
As a field representative, Lopez said he had gained experience in investigative procedure in civil rights cases.
While human relations director jozpe said he controlled an educational program, a human relations program and self help programs.
"With the educational program we had a tutoring program within our campus, and we are working on a humanities education workshop with the teachers."
LOESE JAP Hutchinson was the first city in Kansas to add a human relations ordinance to its city regulations. He said this ordinance was very similar to the one against discrimination
"That ordinance was very, very significant," Lopez said. "It was the first time a city had given powers toowers to the commission."
As is the case with the Kansas act, the ordinance passed in late 2014 requires some enforcement power in employment, public ac- tences or school districts.
While he was there Lopez said, his human relations commission had told him about and about 100 informal complaints. He said two of those complaints reached district court and were lost. One of the cases was to get subpoena power to secure a witness investigation. The other involved a contract termination. Both cases are now before the Kansas attorney general.
LOPEZ SAID the court actions "virtually removed all the powers of the ordinance."
Financing Study Slated

"We took immediate court actions so we will get higher court actions. I hope it will be favorable."
Lopez said he saw some response with employers in programs for minorities were concerned, and spent some of the time there working on a minority history and a social science
Racism still exists, Lopez said, but it is changing.
"ATTITUDE" are somewhat inbegile, Lopez said, "and rude people." He added that Mexican-American, blacks, whites. There's no doubt about it.
"There are two types of racism. One is institutionalized. The overt is the outright, vigorous acts of racism, such as refusing entry to a museum."
'The difference is, it's
becoming more subtle and institutionalized.
Institutionalized racism, Lopez said, exists often in hiring practices.
"Probably the smallest number of complaints is taken in the area of religious discrimination. But it exists."
LOPEZ SAID anyone with a complaint concerning a possible arduement of their civil rights contact the office in Topeka.
"In some areas, the complaints are running three to one in sex as compared to race complaints."
"SOMETIMES employer uses a testing mechanism, many of which are discriminatory." Lopez said. "They do not objectively test the individual. They might use the material but you don't know they might not have anything to do with the job applied for. This tends to eliminate minority jobs."
"They can contact us by telephone or in person, or through the mail. We also have field surveys if they want to talk to them.

Lopes said the largest number of complaints comes from the elderly, who face housing problems close behind. He said the area of civil rights that appears to have the greatest impact is the area of sex discrimination.
"Then we can analyze the complaint to see if it has merit, draft a formal complaint, have it signaled, not signed, and docked."
When asked if he planned any changes in his office, Loper said he hadn't had time to analyze the situation.

"Mostly, though, we will just pursue the activities the department has in the past," Lopez said.
