In Steeping its operations healthy and free from scan dal, the responsibility rests with the local station, Dooley says. The Starkweather trial was selected for the study because of its several week duration and its extensive coverage necessitated by the w i d e spread interest. Based oa Interviews The monograph is based upon interviews with the re spondent news directors in 13 radio and television stations in the Lincoln-Omaha area, upon questionnaires to the writers professors' book. the Sun" has been judged the outstanding book on poetry published in the United States in 1350. "Start it the Sun: Stud ies in Cosmic Poetry" in- By Tom Ketone Radio, TV, and the Stark weather Trial" is the title of a monograph by Dr. John W. Dooley, assistant professor and head of radio-television journalism at the University. The performance and stated motives for and against news coverage in the Starkweather trial and the adequacy and quality of reporting by radio and television stations is the theme of the study. Action Covered By a comparison of the ac tion of the trial with that part of the action covered, the report, apparently the' first of its kind, is of particular value to newsmen in evaluation of the completeness of their news coverage. Emphasized throughout the itudy is the need for "radio and television to cover more public events and to cover them oa a regular basis." Observing the automatic Ma ture of today's broadcasting throng the use of standard wire copy and national net work shows, Dooley challenges radio-TV newsmen to "g into the community and to find the eews; i.e., to serve the com munity in other ways than by playing mask and s e 1 1 i g vsed cars.' The "second-class" status radio and television "people" in comparison with news papermen is erroneous, Doo ley says. This misconception, be points out, is the result of "non-performance" in n e w s coverage by some stations and of the employment of in e x perieaeed "part-time" news-! men. Unfair Dooley states that it is both unfair to the stations and the ; public and highly iinrealistk to ask the man who tends tbei copy or teletype of the station to leave his desk and go into the field or courtroom without ' previous experience.

"Funds from membership dues and other sources have been traditionally handled through the society's treasury as monies of the institution," Aeschbacber explained. "But federal grants for arcneological work aBd grants from otber state agencies often include func tion, such as salaries, for whick state tax mosey would normally be expended. LB 150. introduced by Sen ators George Gerdes of Alli ance and Joe Vosoba of Wil bur, would provide for the es Uhlifchment of such a fund in the state treasury while LB 151 specifies the types of monies to be deposited in it and respondents of these sta tions, and upon examination of the newscast files of seven of these stations. Under criticism was the practice of selling news bul letins to advertisers on the progress of a trial whose end result may be the taking of human life by the state. "The strictly limited num ber of stations who may ase the ah- waves," Dooley com ments, "necessitates the li censing of only those stations which serve the greatest pub lic Interest, convenience, and necessity Dooley emphasizes that the responsible day to day cov erage is both a goal and an answer regarding the future of news coverage by the elec tronic media.

Prof. Shapiro's many awards include the Pulitzer Prize for poetry in 1345 for "V-Letter and Other Poems."

The book, "Start With the Sun," presents the conten tion that twentieth century poetry has stemmed from Walt Whitman even though Ezra Pound and T. S. Eliot apparently dominate the scene. The book presents the side of the "life-poets," the men who celebrate the joy of liv ing and see man and nature as a comic whole. Authors of this type of writ ing i n c 1 n d e Carl Sandburg and William Carlos Williams. Faculty Presents Recital Tonight A faculty recital will be j oven "Seehs Deutsche Laed- er.

Sevareid Tourist Plan (con't from page 2) tip for a ten minute, ragged trim, If you can slip into the first sweet sleep of sleep of night unmindful of the sirens screech, Rise joyful to the pleasant sounds of trip hammer and hydraulic drill Having paid Western Union a dollar and some to wake you on the phone; If you can do and pay all this and not go screaming home. Why, welcome stranger, join our huddled masses yearning to be sane and solvent; Little ol' New York is all for you you've got what it takes, And New York win take it, never fear. Di9L 1S1.
