Wescoe Sees Journalist As Educational Force
Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe defined the journalist as a member of the country's educational system in a speech Friday afternoon. Dr. Wescoe was speaking at the annual meeting of the Kansas Press Assn. in Wichita.
He said communications is the fundamental problem on which the future of the United States depends.
CHANCELLOR WESCOE said reporters should be well educated and must have a knowledge of international affairs and geography.
"The competence of a news desk and a reporter determines how well informed the public is today," he said, according to the United Press International.
"We must be able to communicate to the rapidly developing countries in the world our own ideals and our own aims in meaningful terms," he said.
Chancellor Wescoe said this makes the press and education arms of U. S. foreign policy.

He also discussed KU's policy of admitting all Kansas high school graduates.

He said he believes that most students who enter the University of Kansas are self-selected. He said $2 per cent of the entering students graduated from high school in the upper half of their class.
He added that KU also had 13 recipients of Woodrow Wilson Fellowships last year and 20 this year.
ELMER F. BETH, professor of journalism, also spoke at the convention on "The Press and the Right of Privacy."
He said that in spite of non-selective admissions, KU is the only state university in the United States which has produced Rhodes Scholars for three successive years."
Calder M. Pickett, associate professor of journalism and acting dean of the School of Journalism, also attended the meeting.
