El Dorado editor honored
By VANESSA HERRON Staff Reporter
Rolla A. Clymer, the late editor of *The El Dorado Times*, was inducted Saturday into the Kansas Hall of Fame at Kansas Education Day.
The event, sponsored by the William Allen White School of Journalism, is an annual meeting of Kansas editors and publishers, with some members named Clymer to the Kansas Newsaper Edith's Hall of Fame.
"This year, the vote was lopsided in Clymer's favor," said Del Brinkman, dean of the School of Journalism.
Clymer was a Kansas editor whose newspaper career spanned more than 70 years, said Calder. Journalism was his passion, he journalism who presented the award.
in 1907, he said, Clymer began his career as a reporter on William Allen White's Emperor Gazette. He wrote a journal until his death in 1977.
Because of his flowing descriptions of the Kansas countryside,
Clymer was known as the "Sage of the Flint Hills," Pickett said. A rest stop on the Kansas Turnpike quotes Clymer on the Flint Hills.
THE PURPOSE OF Editors' Day is to honor journalists such as Clymer, Brinkman said, and to give editors, faculty and students a chance to exchange ideas. About 230 journalists attended the event.
On Editors' Day, the featured speakers were Michael Davies, editor of the Kansas City Star and Times, and Robert Samsot, a visiting professor at the School of Journalism.
Davies, 38, has worked for newspapers since he was 17. He said the arrogant image that journalists found hurt their rapport with readers.
"We are要去 to be arrogant when we refuse to correct mistakes or get the other side of the story," he said. "We are, accuracy is one of our failings."
Recently, he said, the Kansas City Times published a series of investigative stories on its front page, but he couldn't check the facts in simple obituaries.
TO REGAIN RAPPORT with
Davies said that public sympathies were swinging away from the media.
readers, Davies said, newspapers should pay more attention to their readers than to opinion polls.
In a recent survey, he said, a majority of those questioned said they would not vote for the first candidate, guarantee freedom of the press.
The press can rebuild the public's trust by serving the public instead of itself. Davies said.
"If we do that successfully," he said, "they just might return the favor."
DECLINING ACCURACY in reporting also was discussed by Samsot, a deputy editor on leave from Newday.
Samsot said editors and reporters should check every fact they reported to the public, even when stories were complex.
"Editors have far too often declined to challenge a world they no longer have a firm grip on." he said.
Editors who do not challenge facts are simply ornamental, he said, and they are not doing their jobs.

KU student teams work with elderly
KU students from five schools have begun working with the elderly this semester in a new project funded by the government's Administration on Axing.
"This is the first attempt by the different schools to try and pull together a team setting," said Shirley Patterson, associate professor of social welfare.

Students work with handicapped
There are three teams: one working at the University of Kansas Medical Center; one at Truman Medical Center East Family Care Center in Kansas Mo., and one at the Veteran's Administration Hospital in Leavenworth.
The teams attended an orientation session Sept. 16, during which professionals from the various disciplines talked about their settings and the format of the program was discussed.
The project, developed by Patterson, is part of a three-year program funded by a $156,411 grant to KU and Kansas State University.
Second team files for student leadership
The two candidates said they would focus on improving communication between student senators and students, as well as within the Student Senate itself.
Larry Metzger, Kansas City, Mo., junior, and Kristy Kospera, Topeka junior, of the Spectrum Coalition last week became the second team to file for student body president and vice president.
Metzger said he wanted to improve student representation in the Senate.

AIR FORCE
After 4 years active duty, I decided to go back to school. When I came to KU, I looked into the Air Force ROTC program. The more I learned, the better it looked.
After completing the AFROTC program, I will be a commissioned officer with a responsible job. My family and I feel that the Air Force offers the security we want in our homes. We can travel for travel. For us, the Air Force is a great way of life and Air Force ROTC is the gateway to this great way of life.
