JVWracle in Journalism Necessary iTo Avoid Atomic War, Luce Says By Jackie Wardell Emerald Newt Editor (See page 4 for more Press Conference news) “Some sort of a miracle of nalism Is needed if we are ivoid^ full atomic war,” iled Henry K. Luce, editor chief of Time Inc. in the Eric Urn Memorial lecture Friday. Speaking as a feature of the thirty-fourth annual Oregon Press conference, Luce added that an editor’s responsibility in a cold .war was far greater than during a “hot one.” You don't need the press to win a hot war, he said, - but you must have the journal ists to win a cold one. Following Luce’s address, ’Gorddn A. Sabine, dean of the school of journalism, announced -that the fee ordinarily paid to the Allen Memorial lecturer has been returned by Luce to the Allen Me-, "morial fund to provide $500 more in scholarship money to journal ism students. First in 15 Years In his "first public statement -<i ! journalism in 15 years,” the co f< 'Under of Time listed four func tions of journalism in America. Register-Guard Photo! PUBLISHER LUCE The main concern of journalism, Luce said, is the explanation of many as possible as afficiently as possible, what public affairs are.” "We need also.to know who we are, where we are,” he added, em phasizing that the second function of a journalist is to present a rec ognizable picture of the environ ment. A response to the American de sire for self improvement by off setting "materialistic advertising*’ with “mind improving editorials” , and becoming a “vessel of truth" in this day when the “greatest question is that of truth" were cited by the editor as other func tions of the American press. Telling an overflow crowd of Oregon newspaper publishers, stu dents and townspeople that “no problem in journalism can be iso lated from the problems of the world,” Luce opinioned that a newspaper is in a sense a “public utility." “I have the highest respect for the electric light companies,” the Tim executive said, “but I have never had any desire to have my magazine become one.” “Why Not Monopoly?” If a public utility, asked Luce, why not a monopoly? There are certain areas where one paper is all that can be supported, compe tition of another sheet would be disastrous he pointed out. However, the editor added, a pa per must be of public service even if not a public utility—to this he had no objections. Publicity must be given to all the “good" things in town “from the Chamber of Commerce banquet to the high school tiddlywinks tournament." DEAN HOLLIS worked for the bank in his spare time from the ^age of seventeen. He was also secretary of the First Investment and Loan company, an investment subsidiary. : During the next academic year, ; he returned to the campus to | teach a course in law procedure while he continued his work: at the bank. He was offered a : full professorship at the Univer i sity in the fall of 1931. At that time Wayne Morse, junior U.S. ! senator from Oregon, was dean of the law school. Beginning in 1938, Hollis served j a-s acting dean during Morse's leaves of absence. When Donald M. Erb, University president, died in December 1943, Hollis was ap pointed acting president, a posi tion he held from Jan. 6, 1944 to July 1, 1945. Meanwhile Morse had resigned, and Hollis became dean of the lawr school. During the 1930 s, the dean trav elled extensively in Europe and the Orient. He also made summer trips to Alaska and Panama. In addition to travelling, Hollis lists fishing and gardening as his fa vorite pastimes. Hollis is president of the Pacific Coast conference and Oregon fac ulty representative to the confer ence. Dr. Horn Slates Lecture On Forthcoming Play Scenes from the fourth Uni versity theater production, "She Stoops to Conquer," and a lecture by Dr. R. D. Horn, professor of English, on 18th century drama will be featured in the Student Union Browsing Room Wednesday at 4 p.m. Dr. Horn, who says the theater is a hobby with him, has done ex tensive study about 18th century life. In his lecture he will empha size the features of 18th century life reflected in the play. Although the setting of the merry English comedy by Oliver Goldsmith is during the time of our Declaration of Independence, Dr. Horn stressed the fact that the time was not only an age of elegance, and powdered wigs, but also of hardy, lusty, fun-loving people. It is these people which Goldsmith characterized in hit. play. “She Stoops to Conquer," orig inally known as “The Mistakes of a Night,” will be presented in the arena theater Thursday, Friday and Saturday this week, and Mar. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11 and 12. Under the direction of Mrs. Ottilie Seybolt associate professor cf speech, the play is the first cos tume play ever staged in the arena by the University theater. Tickets for the production are on sale at the University theater box office from 1 to 5 p.m., ac cording to Mrs. Gene Wiley, the ater business manager.

S. Remainder Actors to Read Fry Play on UO Stage Three actors from Eugene's Very Little Theatre will present a read ing of Christopher Fry’s “A Phoe nix Too Frequent,” on the Univer sity Theatre's main stage tonight at 8. No admission will be charged and no reservations will be taken, according to Mrs. Gene Wiley, University Theatre business man ager. A part of the Festival of Con temporary Arts, the program, "The Art of Christopher Fry as seen through ‘A Phoenix Too Fre quent’,” will feature an introduc tion by R. D. Horn, professor of English. The reading will be done Laughton style in front of the main curtain by Daisy Hamlin, Marvin A. Krenk and Mary Sta ton Krenk, who was seen last fall in a similar reading of ‘‘No Exit.” Emphasis Change Asked for Co-eds Changing the emphasis from competition to cooperation among the various women’s groups on campus was advocated Monday night by a group of senior women meeting with AWS President Sar ah Turnbull and members of the AWS executive council. Stating that their main purpose was to “strengthen AWS by mak ing it a coordinating organiza tion,” the senior women, through their spokesmen, Dolores Parrish and Jane Simpson, advocated a program including strengthening of the executive committee of AWS, abolishing the AWS con gress, a constitutional committee to study proposed changes and ar. ex-officio representative of the Student Union added to the execu tive committee. Duplication Seen The women stated that the AWS congress accomplishes little and. creates duplication of duties that could be better handled by the house presidents through heads of houses. Elimination of “busy work” was also urged by the group, which added that a system with AWS as the top and coordinating body would help accomplish this goal by eliminating duplication of ac tivities.
