Papers Thriving Says Kilgore
Two "misconceptions which distort the thinking" of people concerned with current trends in journalism were dispelled Friday night by Bernard Kilgore, president of the Wall Street Journal.
Mr. Kilgore, who has been president of the Wall Street Journal since 1945, was speaking at the William Allen White Day dinner. Earlier in the day he received the William Allen White Foundation's annual citation for journalistic merit. The points Mr. Kilgore empha-
The points Mr. Kilgore emphasized are;
- That big newspapers do not have a monopoly on quality.
- That journalism is not a dying industry.
Kilgore said that big newspapers do not have a monopoly on quality. "Some are sick and some of the small ones are doing some of the best work in journalism. Don't think of quality in terms of big newspapers," he said.
Attacking the idea that journalism is small and dying out, Kilgore said, "Quite a few newspapers die, but quite a few are being born and will be born. The sub-metropolitan daily with a circulation of 50 000 or more is becoming increasingly dominant because of the trend toward suburban living and because these newspapers meet the needs of the people they serve."
YAF Faculty Survey Starts
Kansas members of Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) are polling faculty members in the departments of political science and economics today on the following questions.
- Do you advocate more, less, the same, or no government intervention in agriculture?
- Do you advocate federal aid to education?
- Do you advocate strict or liberal interpretation of the United States Constitution?
- Do you advocate the federal government's dealing more directly with city and county governments?
THE POLL IS THE RESULT of a charge made by State Senator Ford Harbaugh, R-Wellington, that "there is encouragement of socialistic doctrines at Kansas University under the name liberalism" without equal encouragement of conservative policies.
Marick Payton, Lawrence resident, University employee, and chairman of YAF, said that the poll is not an attempt to label the professors as either liberals or conservatives, but rather to get their ideas on the questions and possibly judge their political leanings.
Payton said that the poll-takers will not quote the professors without the expressed permission of these men. They will simply tabulate the different answers to each of the questions.
In an attempt to clarify the reasoning behind the poll, Payton gave the following statement:
"We think the arguments for a free enterprise, non-interventionalist government have many merits and are of wide appeal. It has been asserted that these arguments are not receiving adequate representation at KU and we wish to determine merely if this is so. We have absolutely no interest at all in equating competence with political leanings."
