There is one full-,tim. unmBlricalated student in

A Bad Poem
Presidcnt Johnson once requ ested,
upon a suuJil day,
A self-pol'lrait of himself
by artisl Andrew Hurd, hey, he),!
.-\J1 seemed well 3Jld good
until that lC1Tibie morn,
When to the Whit<!-House gallery
that 13teful picture was born.
The President's face was there
captured for all t.ime
The President io person. though,
didD't think it fine.
., ''!'is nol art," said he aloud,
"I'm "fraid it I<ill not do."
And p,'Omptly found .,omeonc else
to pRint hjs face anew.
The nalion chuckled to itself:
"So who e1eets art crHics President 1"
(And Iliter all. lYe musl consid el',
it wasn'l oor money he spenL)
Then someone ye\Oed in economics
thought the m"ltel' through,
And realiz()d, my ~oodness.
it was our money he blel\'!
"All, wcll," sAirl we "t last.
we re~lly shouldn't despait·.
At leAst electiuns ar~ run (or Presidents-­not
for nrtists with long bai,·.
MORAL; It tAk~ all 1~'Jles to creale bad arl-il k~k es One
type to know it's bad.

A journalist's obligation
IgnorAnce is no sin but it ought not make so little pre­ten£
e " t conc""ling itself. The .pirit of fnlter na. cOlTcdioo
demands th"t ignorance be erad i (;.8 ted. And so, for the sake
of those ~nxious to mllnife5[ [heir own misconceptions o(
j ourn a listic obligations, we embark upon an explAnntion of
the concept of II newspape,' os technic.ally nod populal"l.\·
understood by jourMlis ts. Let the ig-noranl. tllerefore, be
i ns t ruded.
The jOUl"llll list's prim~l".v allegiance is to truth. Truth
comes in It numbcl" of species : the lruth people would like
10 h eAr; the tru th th~y would like to Sllpmss; the truth they
do not unners tand, The journnli.-lt 's obligAtion must be to
the I'epol'ti ng of all these truths in tenos of his conscience,
And since he OIV~S his allelfj~n~ 10 his readers onl)" I hrough
his own conscience, he lOllY anti must elhically ofTer Illr
SPecies an dversion of lruth dosesl 10 reuJlly ... No! d"".si
10 the plcasantest version, but closest to his version ot
l'CII.!ity.
And so, since the joul"lwlist, like !til humnn beings, must
continually ma],e value jUdgments, he must choose to stress
on" t~uth over Another: ask one question in preference to

A journalist's obligation
(CunliLu~cd frOln Page!' One)
another; p'1)i.c 01' condemn "'hnt he deems wOl'th.I' of such,
n~ time, space and form pem,it in accordance "ith hi, own
conscienC<:!.
A journl\lis~'s direct obligation to his readers h.ip is a
purely moral one. He musl otl'CI' his I.",ul crs the same truth
he strives to disrem for the "lIke of his own cotlscience. He
musl tell thl'm an of those things he believe" they ought to
know . . . Not thing. someone believes he has pai<\ to be or
not to be told. T'n1th is not something dictated by the paying
public.
The journalist', spedfic obligation beyond "el'orling of
truth is the provision of II truly open forum. Sud. " forum
",,(wires spa~c provided [or a fair percentage of letter. of
opinion. The ediwr ma)' SUll'''''. his obJigati<>n and agree to
print all leU",rs. He may surpass it again a nd refl'llin from
" t~hin8' ~itor's notes to lett.ers. lie may Cu,'ther surpass
it by ofTering re.aders the oPPol·tllnily to contribui:e mater ial
to the oewspaper other than that of an editorial nature.
"L'Ami rlu Peuple" has surpassed its journalistic obligations
in all three ()( these are:.s.
There are a number o[ things to which no nell'spaper has
at) obligation . The newSp"per hIlS no obligation to reflect the
opinions of the majority of its readers in editorial pohc),. rt
rather must morally es pollse causes ano opinions " 'hich its
editor believes to be true and consequently in the best In­terests
of hia reJlde.ts. When the editor's vision of r e:;lity
diffel'S (rom A large minority or a consensus vision of reali­ty,
his ~thics compel him to adhere to hi~ own opinions and
to express those opinioos reg1lrdles.~ oC the wishes of those
who have pu iil or those who have confen-ed authority upon
him . Moreover, c<litorinl prerogntive .-eIMSes h im from ;lny
obligation to further explain privately his edi torial pollcr.
His only obligation is to nllow renders or ",embers of his
3taff to disng-ree publiclr in i\ letter 0" editorial.
The conclusion to which misconception, of journalism h""
nOW been ~"n';ed is sndly absurd. The reseArCh We have done
to document the fact. th aI editorshirl o( a col1ego:! ncwspHper

of the proposed election sY$tffn to journaJisti­Clllly

(e,-vently hope that the preceding ingLruetlon dispels the

An editor's concerns
CCOIII inut-d rrom PaRe Two)
an election cre~l-es a debt to the electoraLe-And .. news­paper
editor can be indebted to no one.
I am Wlconvinced, myself. in Ihe efficllcy or necessity o(
the eledor nl ~ystem as illustrated by OUr 'student govern­ment':
it seems to me to represent nothing but the perpe­tration
of inadequacy nnd irrelevance. If I Were interested
in bein!!, an elected . repTC8C'l1 t.ative , of the student body, !
would run for election-nnd ""rhaps 1 would willinglr sub­mit
to the sort of as.ault on my dignltr, my intelligence,
n,y sense of proportion, th ~l such ~ proceS6 imposes. P er­haps
the advantnges of n posi tion on Stu~ent Cou",.il oul­weigh
the onlciousncss, the complacency. lhe silly self-con­sciousness
(h"t such a position c.nn breed. Rut I prefer not
to submit to that process; I choose not w.
I W()llid like very mllch to enit n neWSJ)l\per at N<lzareth,
IJllt it would hi' terribl), wrong for ml>, for "nyone to accept
Ihe editor>chip llS an elecl\ve onice, to promise to represent
the stuoent body by menus of a newspapel'. Such a news­paper
would IJC a joke, II travest~· of joulTlalisrn, unac<:ept­IIble
on li n), terms. Tlus Seems to be one o( those very rare
situations in which the vl\lues al'e quite clear: if you "'l\IJt
a neWSPI\per, ! eM edit it; but I ",,"not afford W wll.Ste my
time on an empty parody.
