Tire UMoiy and iiBMCt of propaganda

aganda in HiMory: The Historian’s Di-
learere” at 4 p.m. today in Speech Builds

Dr. Garth Jowett, director of the School
of Communication at the University of
Houston, will present the lecture follow-
ing a definition of propaganda by Dr.
Victoria O’Donnell, chairwoman of the
division of communication and public
address at NT. The two co-authored the
book, "Propaganda and Persuasion,” to
be published this spring.
"There's a great deal of disagreement
on what propaganda is," O’Donnell said.
"It must be clarified and distinguished
from mass persuasion. Propaganda is not
just the big lie like ths Natia told. Peo- becoming prevalent, O’Donnell said,
pie are most familiar with propaganda "Disinformation is exemplified by plant-•
as a distortion of the truth." ing an agent of a country to pose as a
The truth can be told and still be con-
sidered propaganda, O’Donnell said.
‘Propaganda is not always what is said,
but for what purpose it is being said.
It’s not the work of some mad man, it is
institutionalized.
"The Voice of America broadcasts all
over the world in something like 42
languages. It talks about how great our
standard of living is with our televisions
and VCRs. It broadcasts to low standard-
of-living countries or oppressed countries
who are told of our democracy. It's
factual, but the reason, the purpose of
the broadcasts, is to stir discontent and
cause people to advocate democracy."
O’Donnell and Jowett found that dis-
information, a propaganda device, is
ing an agent of a country to pose
journalist on a foreign newspaper. The
agent will create stories and distort stories.
Ilie stories seem to the readers like infor-
mation is coming from a credible source,
the journalist.
"It’s much more effective when a
journalist, who is known for objectivity,
writes a story than when a foreign agent
does. His intentions are obvious. A Sovi-
et agent can pose as an Afghan reporter,"
she said.

The purpose of the lecture is to increase
awareness of what propaganda is and of
how prevalent it is, O'Donnell said. “All
nations do it. Their methods are subtle
and clever. The most prevalent form of
propaganda is not the most obvious."

ON THE ROAD (AP>—A bus is roll-
ing west on Interstate 20 in the heart of
Texas and inside the bus, the self-pro-
claimed Negro Tabernacle Choir is in
session, hot as hell.
Ken Coffey, Virgil Seay, Monte Cole-
man, Art Monk and Charlie Brown also
happen to be members of the Washing-
ton Redskins football team, but right now,
they ain’t playin’. They are jammin’.
Soprano-safety Coffey gets 'em going on
"Just My Imagination,” right into “Ain’t
Too Proud to Beg,” and then “Sex
Machine.” Bass-linebacker Coleman takes
the lead. With the bus moving at 55, he
hits the aisle, swiveling his hips like James
Brown. “Yeah, man!” his fellow choir
members shout.
Finally the piece de resistance: Cole-
man grabs Brown's shades, bobs and
weaves his head and looks toward the
ceiling. Yes, it’s Monte Coleman doing
Stevie Wonder:
“Isn’t she love-e-ly?”
“Isn’t she won-der-ful?. . .”
In the back of the bus, Tony Dorsett
and Ron Springs smile.
“This has been the Negro Tabernacle
Choir,” shouts Coffey. But the choir isn’t
finished. The choir sees Ed “Too Tall”
Jones, defensive end and former night-
club singer, sitting in the very back of
the bus. The choir has an idea. “What
about getting Too Tall to sing?” says
one member.
In an instant the chant begins: “Ed!
Ed! Ed! Ed! Ed!”
“I’m sorry,” Springs announces. "Mr.
Jones only makes paid singing appear-
ances.”
With that, 10 Dallas Cowboys and 11
Washington Redskins laugh together.
The very notion is enough to make
George Allen turn a brighter shade of
burgandy. The Cowboys and Redskins
spending four days, 1,200 miles and at
least 12,000 autographs eating, drinking
and sleeping together all over West Texas.
Don’t these guys know they have an
image to uphold? The teams, the fans,
the cities were supposed to hate each
other, no? Cowboys quarterback Danny
White certainly felt that hatred every time
he walked into RFK Stadium. Maybe it
wasn't as deep as in the days when Allen
coached the Redskins and preached the
anti-Cowboys gospel, but it still was true.
Didn’t the two two teams end their most
recent encounter on a football field with
Bill Bates ready to disengage Joe Theis-
mann's nose from Theisman’s face? The
year before, hadn't the Fun Bunch and
the Cowboys’ secondary met in the Dal-
las end zone and acted like Jets and
Sharks? This still was supposed to be
pro football’s grandest—-and meanest—
rivalry.
Yet there they were, riding in the same
bus, laughing at the same jokes.
Barnstorming for dollars.
And charity. And fun.
In Abilene, Midland, Amarillo and
Lubbock recently, the Cowboys and Red-
skins played a four -game series of exhi-

bition basketball games called the “Scalp
the Skins Basketball Challenge.” They've
met in past off-seasons on basketball
courts in Texas and Washington, but never
in a series as long and involved as this.
And never together. For the record, the
Cowboys won two, lost one and tied won
(yeah, tied one). The two teams raised
$17,290 for four different charities and
about $2,000 for each player. The atten-
dance average of 2,515 was disappointing.
But along the way, a whole lot of inter-
esting stuff happened: The Skins and the
Boys, for example, stopped at every-

Senate broadens death penalty
AUSTIN (AP)—The Senate voted this
week to extend the death penalty law to
mass murderers, including those who kill
several people at once or who kill again
and again.
Under current law, a person may com-
mit several murders but unless the mur-
ders occurred during a felony or the victim
was a police officer or firefighter, the
slayer could not be assessed the death
penalty.
The bill broadening the capital punish-
ment law was returned to the House with
an amendment that removed a provision
providing the death penalty for defen-
dants who had been previously convict-
ed of murder.
Senators also approved and sent to the
House a bill that would punish those who
cheat at big-money fishing tournaments.
Another measure would give the state
access to state minerals landlocked by
private property.
Sen. Craig Washington, D-Houston,
opposed the death penalty change, saying,
”1 think the God who made us all one
day will straighten out the lives of some
of our people.
“I feel that one day some doctor’s
going to make a breakthough and find
out that there’s some chemical imbalance
or something metabolically wrong with
people who kill other people, and I think
that you all will have the blood of all
these people on your hands when that
happens," Washington said.
A bill by Sen. Bob McFarland, R-
Arlington, would crack down on cheat-
ing in fishing tournaments. About 4,(XX)
bass tournaments arc held in Texas each
year, and prizes total as much as $1
million.
