Weeklies to Grow In Suburbia-Abels
The former editor of the Lawrence Outlook said last night that the field of weekly newspapers has a great potential in the suburban areas of big cities.
Ed Abels, who last week celebrated his 35th year with the local weekly, told members of Sigma Delta Chi, professional journalism fraternity for men, that these suburban papers would replace the small town weekly because of the population growth of urban areas.
HE STRESSED the need of the editor to take a stand on controversial issues saving, "You've got to stir up people and make them think."
He said this should be one of the main objectives of journalism because the average reader is too lazy to get worked up on an issue without stimulation.
Debate Meet Set Tomorrow
Debate squads representing 24 universities and colleges from coast to coast will be KU guests from tomorrow until Saturday during the Heart of America Debate Tournament.
Harvard, Dartmouth, Notre Dame, Southern California and Northwestern U., last year's winner, are among the participants. Events will begin with an English-style debate between KU and the U.S. Air Force Academy at 8 p.m. tomorrow, and all sessions will be held in the Kansas Union. Thirty-two two-man squads will participate.
THE TEAMS WILL debate the Intercollegiate Debate Topic, "Resolved: That labor organizations should be placed under anti-trust legislation."
John Ise, KU professor emeritus of economics, and Leonard Woodcock, vice president of the United Auto Workers of America, will be technical advisers.

He emphasized that the news-paperman does not lose anything by taking a stand on a controversial issue even if people do not agree with the paper's stand. Mr. Abels said they want to know what the paper's opinions are on the subject.
He said that job opportunities in journalism have decreased greatly in the last three decades.
THE MODERN NEWSPAPERman must know his job, do this job, and take the responsibilities associated with this job. Mr. Abels said. He said that modern editors "are crying for this type of reporter."
The young person going into the newspaper field must really enjoy doing this kind of work, Mr. Abels said.
He said that bringing Arthur Schlesinger was also a mistake.
"I find newspaper work to be the most interesting field in the world," he said, "If I had an opportunity to change my work. I would never do it any differently."
DISCUSSING World Crisis Day held at KU last December, Mr. Abels said, "I don't feel that Fomin (Alexander Fomin, counselor to the Soviet embassy) had any place up here."
He endorsed the objectives of the John Birch Society and said that the American public "shouldn't sell the minuteman movement short."
CAROL BURNETT
