  • Thursday, October 14, 1971 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN 11 ^Northern Star9 Role of student newspaper discussed DEKALB, ILL. - (I.P.) - Four of the people most Intimately concerned with the role of the student newspaper at Nor1hern Illinois University have gone on the record with «ome candid answers to tough questions about "The Northern Star." The names behind these views are Dr. Donald Grubb, head of the department of journalism since its creation in 1959; Roy Campbell, advisor to the newspaper for more than a decade; Raymond Gibson, 1970-71 first semester editor, and Barbara Moise, last spring's editor. One of the hottest issues involving campus journalism is the use of obscene language or other forms of four-letter language in the pages of the student press. Single words of this nature in a student newspaper have created legislative thunderbolts aimed at the publication. Reacting to the statement that obscene words have no place in a student or any other newspaper, Grubb responded, "I agree. If the writer cant express what he wants to express in ordinary language, his vocabulary probably is suffering. I don't think that vulgarity or obscenity, in itself, really makes a point" Campbell alsoagreed. "They degrade the tone of a newspaper. They serve no really useful function. Most obscenities have settings that reflect the oral or verbal value of the word, rather than the printed." Both student editors reflect mixed feelings. Gibson believes he would use an obscene word, if it would help the content of a story. He referred to the Chicago 7 trial where a de= fendant was given a contempt citation and a six-month jail sentence for using an obscene work in court Gibson asked how you could explain the story without using the word. Although she used a vulgarity in her opening editorial, Miss Moise maintained/'I per- Music series features mezzo-soprano Joyce Farwell The first in the newly instituted Thursday Evening Music Series at Western Carolina Uni= versity will feature Joyce Far« well, mezzo= soprano, in recital at 8:15 p.m., Thursday, Oct 14, in Hoey Auditorium. Mrs. Farwell, the wife of Dr. Harold Frederick FarweU Jr. of the WCU English department, has a distinguishedback= ground in performance, teach~ ing and conducting. She has been the recipient of numerous awards, including the coveted Metropolitan opera award for the Midwestern re=> gion, She has been heard fre= quently in that region in solo recitals, oratorios, and cantatas. Her lead roles in opera have included The Marriage of Figaro, Falstaff and Macbeth by Verdi, The Consul, The Medium and the Globolinks byMen= ottt For her recital in CuUowhee, Mrs. FarweU wUl sing works by Debussy, Massenet, Schubert, Wolf and Strauss. She wUl be accompanied at thepiano by Barbara W„ Dooley. The program is open to the public. There is no charge for admission. sonally don't believe in putting in swear words for shock value." She agreed that these words can end communication with raders, "Just from my editorial, when I put in that one little swoar word, ninety percent of the feedback I got revolved around that one word and the rest of the editorial went unnoticed," Grubb believes that student newspapers should not take stands on political candidates or issues, other than in student elections, The other three disagreed, The journalism department head noted that most campuses have no competing newspapers to present diverse opinions on candidates and issues, He added, "I would hold a completely opposite view for professional press, because this is an important mission of theirs," He called for the campus press to give as balanced a news treatment as possible of national and state political developments, Campbell believed that, with the voting age lowered to 18, students are becoming more Involved politically, He noted that the paper has a responsibility to present how candidates feel on issuos related to student concerns, such as Viet Nam, Gibson said, "It's the stu ■ dent newspaper's right and responsibility to try to persuade students as to the kind of can didates who are espousing wiiat line," ACTION ANSWER What is the three dollar health and physical education fee paid by all fulltime students used for? Shouldn't any student who has paid this fee be enti- Ued to use a P,E. basket whether he is taking a P,E, course or not? Jim Welborn According to Jim Hamilton, head of the Health and Physical Education Dept, the fee paid by all students is used to pay salaries , to purchase equipment and uniforms, for laundry, to support intramural activities and to purchase other needed equipment This fee doesn't entiUe the use of P.E. baskets. The reason behind this is limited space in the locker rooms. This space is reserved for the students participating in the P.E, program.
