Minority students study journalism
Urban journalism and social problems will be studied by 24 minority high school students in the next two weeks as part of the third annual journalism Workshop on Monday, April 15, at bride Monday.
Sam Adams, associate professor of journalism and director of the program, said yesterday this summer's enrollment doubled last year's and applicant talent
dictated increased budgeting to accommodate 10 additional students.
The workshop is sponsored by the
subsidiary of Dow Jones and Company, Inc.
THE MINORITY WORKSHOP includes instruction journalism school faculty and staff and several professional guest lecturers. The workshop will be keynoted
June 22 by Dexture Eure of the Boston Globe. Adams said.
"Minirites now make up less than two per cent of the country's professional journalists," Adams said. Because of this, he said, he hopes the program will help the profession in a way he felt may have been denied them by many schools.
Moluccans' funeral stirs political protest
ASSEM, the Netherlands—A funeral for six young South Moluccans killed in the break-up of a train hijacking became a dramatic political protest Tuesday.
Thousands of their countrymen—estimates ranged from 3,000 to 10,000—turned out for a memorial service at the South Moloucan Evangelical Church. The South Moloucan woman killed by Dutch marines in a predawn raid Saturday that ended a 20-day siege.
After the memorial service, the throng marched silently behind the coffins in a three-mile procession to a cemetery where the bodies were buried in a common grave.
The size of the crowd was an unmistakable message to the Dutch government that the extremists in the Moloucan community have many sympathizers.
The funeral was nonviolent, but the attitude of the mourners was grim and determined. Many expressed the same sentiments as a middle-aged man at the grave site who said: "I hope the government no longer takes us as a joke. This is a good thing because it will make the government take us seriously."
The mourners ranged from children to the elderly. Almost all wore black or dark brown as the procession moved noiselessly across the flat landscape.
Scores of Dutch people gathered along the route to watch. Many policemen and soldiers were stationed nearby, but there were no incidents.
At the grave, young men removed from the coffins the blue, the white, green and red flags of the Republic of the South Molucas—a government in exile in the Netherlands—and folded them while the Netherlands sang their national anthem, with the words, in Molucan, beginning,"Molucca, our country."
Many of the 40,000 South Moluccans living in the Netherlands are determined to regain their homeland. It has been under Indonesian rule since 1951, the year most of the exiles were brought here by the Dutch government. Many had fought for the Dutch Army in the days of the war. They want the Dutch government to put pressure on Indonesia to give back the islands, but the government considers this unrealistic.

The fault lies also with minorities, he said, in that they have often failed to realize the importance in gaining access to and control of these positions.
"There are only seven blacks on all the editorial boards of newspapers across the nation and much of this stems from the fact that many schools have not been training minority students for these types of jobs." Adams said.
The workshop bridges two other journalism camp sponsored each summer by the William Allen White School of Journalism and is the only one for the minority campers. In the workshop's previous years, students have been housed in Oliver Hall, but this summer they moved to Nalsmith, a private residence hall, where Oliver was unable to provide meals.
STUDENTS ARE SELECTED on the basis of their interest, grades and general recommendations submitted by high school advisers and principals.
The program provides a full scholarship to cover participants' class fees, room and board. The individual students, however, must provide transportation to and from university.
A minority student wishing to attend the workshop must show that the program has something to offer that general school coursework can't provide, Bill Greer, a retired editor of the Minneapolis Star and workshop instructor, said.
He said he hoped to instill a sense of "good professionalism," in the students and as well as the knowledge that it takes at least five years to become a good reporter.
Student performance is very competitive, Adams said, because several scholarships, including a four-year scholarship sponsored by the University of Wisconsin, are based on course work and writing ability.
"I if I can get these kids interested enough to pursue journalism, that will be a good start."
Classes and labs are provided to teach and strengthen skills in interviewing, reporting, photography, electronic communication problems and handling school publications.
COURSE WORK WILL also include story assignments which will be compiled in an annual report. The final class for the realism Workshop TAKE 3, to be published June 24 at the end of the workshop term.

"When we first started, we went around knocking on doors in North Lawrence to see whether area gardeners and farmers would be interested in the idea," Miller said.
Each vendor is responsible for bringing a bench or table to display produce, and produce seldom sits undisturbed later on in the season.

The DLA didn't keep a record of how many stalls each vendor had last year, Miller said, but the vendors voted at a meeting to charge a $10 stall fee for the 17 weeks the market was open. Vendors also kept track of the market the first weekend in June.
