F' day Lillian Novosad Night. We are honoring
ouc three tirng All-American w;th an c'd fashion fun
niqht at the tennis courts. AH the profits will be used
to help send Lillian to Paris, France for the summer
Olympics.
Lillian needs $ i ,000 to cover the expenses of her
trip. The United States government doesn t take
care pf the expenses for the team. The reason is to
keep the American Olympic teams and team mem-
bers strictly amateur. We tee! that(this is the right
way to do it." We don't want a "kept" Olympic
team. _ ~
Without government, financing the pleasure fans
to-US to support America's top athletes. This is a
way that we can all have a part in the world cham-
pionship games.
Students,at Texas Wesleyan College have an ex-
ceptionally fine opportunity to participate, because
one of the stars is a product of our own school. There
are few schools in the United States that have this
honor. There are very few schools the size of TWC
that have manufactured an Olympic star. So LET S
BACK LILLIAN!
We repeat what we said last week: SHE WON T
LET US DOWN. A re5 ye going to let her down.
Turn ouffor Lillian Novosad Night and Send Lillian to
Paris.

Our newspapers are often criticised for being
partisan and biased in their approach to some sub-
jects, especially when the subjects are highly volatile
political issues. -In" fact, the editors of some papers
helped draw more .suspicion upon themselves <*/hen
■tbthey recently vetoed a proposed stt-idy of the na-
tion's newspapers during the coming election. ,
But politics aside, foreign news is surely an essential
ingredient needed by the people to help them in
forming their opinions and making their decisions.
Associated Collegiate Press-gathered collegiate opin-
ion of the role newspapers play in presenting vital
foreign news to the people. The following question
was asked of a representative cross-section of college
0 students:
ON THE WHOLE, WHAT KIND OF A JOB
DO YOU THINK NEWSPAPERS IN THE UNITED
STATES ARE DOING IN BRINGING VITAL
FOREIGN NEWS TO THE PEOPLE OF THE
UNITED STATES?
The results: Men Women Total
Very Good 22% \\r,r IS'-"
Good 50% 52% 54*
So-so I...." 20% 24% 21%
Bad 4* 3% 4%
The figures show that three-fourths of the'students
think newspapers are doing a good or better than
good job, with males having stronger feelings in this
direction than coeds.
-Many students accuse the newspapers of playing
dov/n vital news, in favor of more sensatiorral items.
Some students feel editorial bias creeps into the news
J^Wumns, both purposively and nonpurposively, while
others feel the newspapers do not give enough,, inter-
pretation of important news. A few "students ac-
cuse the newspapers of printing only government
press releases, and others feel the newspapers could
be vastly improved in the foreign news department.
Many students listed several specific newspapers
they felt were especially poor or especially good.
And some students simply said they couldn't give an
answer to the question because they didn't especially
look for foreign news. Others felt there was no cri-
terian against which to judge newspaper perform-
ance.
Here are selected student comments, covernig a
criticism:
0 "They report the^facts as best they are allowed,
but editorial policy sometimes deters them from do-
ing their best," says a graduate coed at Hunter Col-
lege (New York City). "Foreign news is always
buried under some crime or sensation, except when
the story is real big. Foreign news isn't given space
% fitting to its«importance,"1 thinks a sophomore coed
attending the University of Nebraska (Lincoln).

Fenn College Adds
Grad Study Plan
Fenn College has announced a
plan to underwrite half the cost of
graduate study for full-time facul-
ty members. In annooncing (he
new policy, President G. Brooks
Earnest said it enhances the col-
lege's ability to attract able young
instructors to the faculty, and at
the same time provides recognition
for faculty members who have been
pursuing graduate work at their
own expense. „ '
The new plan, which has been
approved by the Board of Trustees,
provides financial assistance both
while a faculty member is teaching
full-time and when he is on a
quarter's leave wifh pay. Since
Fenn is on a four-quarter system,
faculty members teach eleven
months of the year and take
leaves of absence^with pay every
third year.
In each case, the college will pay
one-half the tuition cost of a fac-
ulty member's study toward an ad-
vanced degree. For those teaching
a full term load, Fenn will under-
write half the tuition for up to six
hours of graduate study. For those
studying full-time during a quar-
ter's leave, the college will grant up
to one-half the tuition of graduate
courses taken. All grants are sub-
ject to the president's approval.

Have you thought of college

It's called the training that enables
people to get along without intel-
