By FLUHRER'S BAKERY Women's News Public Can Have What It Wants From Mass Media, Says Speaker 'Never be placid, docile, or Inarticulate In response to ra dio, television, newspapers, magazines and movies," warn ed Dr. Patricia L. Swenson in a talk to members of Ashland, Grants Pass and Medford branches of American Asso ciation of University Women at luncheon last Saturday in Medford. Dr. Swenson is manager of KBPS, Portland public schools' 37-year-old AM radio station, supervisor of utiliza tion of radio and television in the Portland public schools, and state mass media chair man for Oregon AAUW. Since the physical horizon is no longer as far as the eye can see, bigness and fewness have come to mass communi cation, Dr. Swenson- said. Centralization of media makes it obligatory for each to dis pense all aspects of a ques tion. "The public can have what it wants, provided it knowsH and says what it wants. The audience calls the tune, peo ple hold the trump, and the only question is whether they will play their cards," she continued. "We must tell our media what we do and do not like about them. It will not work unless all arguments are presented." Media should serve for in dividual tastes, but the public must get the right kind of people to the media at the right time, according to Dr. Swenson. Balance Delicate There is a delicate balance between media, government, and public, but the basic obli gation is with us, the public, she said. Dr. Swenson empha sized "To the extent the pub lic is less man a full partner, government and '' media will fill the gap, and we shall be less than sure that we get what we want, for it is the public's own responsibility that is controlling in this case, and if we do not exercise it we deserve only what we get." Quoting , George Bernard Shaw, she said " 'Every per son owes his life to civilized society, and who has enjoyed since his childhood its very costly protections and advan tages should appear at reason able intervals before a prop erly qualified jury to justify his existence, which exist fashion venture all wool sheaths for fall ... in the fabulous world of L'AIGLON WOOLS A. L'Aiglon styles this all wool sheath with in finite care you'll find it doing duty all winter longl Striped in brown- and green. B. New verve, new plaid for Fall! L'Aiglon con tributes some truly smart fashions to the autumn scene one of which, this Glen plaid sheath of pure wooll Comes in black and white; olive and while with a wide crushed leather belt. each 24.95 ence should be summarily and painlessly terminated if he fails to justify it.' " Dr. Swenson conclued with another quotation of Shaw: "Get what you want or you'll be forced to like what you get." A special welcome was- ex tended by Mrs. Gordon S. Mackenzie, Medford branch AAUW president, to the ap proximately 25 members of the Ashland branch and seven members of the Grants Pass branch who attended the Med ford AAUW meeting. She in troduced Mrs. Don Benja mine, Grants Pass branch president; Mrs. Clyde Gwalt ney, Ashland AAUW presi dent; Mrs. Mabel Winston, past northwest division AAUW chairman; Mrs. A. J. Johann son, Oregon AAUW fellow ships chairman; Dr. Betty Lou Dunlop, former state fel lowship recipient; and Mrs. Floyd Horowitz, Ashland AAUW mass media chairman.
