(Photo by Augie Photo Dept.) Debaters Win Big The Augustana debate squad won top honors at the forensics tournament held by the University at Laramie, October 5-7. Two teams, comprised of Steve Binger and Terry Koehn, and Darron Knutson and Dave Nelson competed with 68 of the nation's best debate teams. Both teams came out of the eight preliminary rounds with a 6-win, 2-loss record, which qualified them for octa-finals. Binger and Koehn lost on a split decision to Empria, which gave them eighth place overall. Knutson and Nelson defeated Bringham Young in octa-finals, the University of Kansas in quarter-finals, and Southern Colorado State College in semi-finals. Darron and Dave earned first place by defeating Arizona State in the final round. Dennis McFarland, coach for the squad, pointed out that a win at a tournament like this indicates that Augie should have a tremendously successful debate season, and has as good a chance as any other college or university to win the national championship this spring. Preston Is Cancelled Refunds In Order B N E IS DISCONTINUED Election Year Journalism by Ruth Bylander "Don't let the politicians get you down." That was Leo Har-tig's ( KELO-TV) advice for television and radio reporting during an election year. In this "Election Profile" dis-cussion by Al Edel (also KELO-TV) and Hartig on Oct. 3, Hartig said criticism of journalists by politicians had a long history. Even Thomas Jefferson called reporters "liars and hypocrites" but, he still believed freedom of the press was preferable to government control. "Electronic journalism," television and radio, is "of the people, by the people, and for the people" to a greater degree than is the press, according to Hartig. He said that almost all inhibitions on the press were concerned with libel and slander, whereas television and radio were subject to Federal Corn-munications Commission (FCC) regulations. One regulation that applies especially in an election year is a candidate's right to equal time if his opponent has expressed himself via the media. The "per-sonal attack doctrine" states that a candidate must be notified within a week if an op-ponent has used that candidate's name on the air. Television and radio must adhere to a fairness doctrine so that the views of both sides are presented. Hartig said that the electronic media in the United States was still extremely free compared to government controlled European media. In a recent trip to Europe Hartig said he noticed great differences between the newscasts he saw in Europe; France, Belgium, and Yugoslavia; and those in the United States. Broadcasts were never on time and there was a difference even in the kind of news. Government orientated news was highly com-plimentary especially in Yugoslavia. Newscasters in the U.S. have more freedom to express themselves, and with FCC regulations have a responsibility to express both sides of a ques- , tion. But, according to Hartig, the chance for bias exists. This can be found in any stage of the news from reporter to newscaster. The assembly of a newscast, for example, can be biased through the order in which news is presented. Usually the most important is first in a newscast. In the discussion period following the presentation Har-tig was asked the criteria for news importance. He said the selection process was subjective. It involved the factors of knowledge of news, experience, judgments, and the self-confidence of the newscaster. On the strong recommenda-tion of a producer that ASA has done considerable business with in the past, the Big Name Enter-tainment Committee has decided to cancel Billy Preston. The 1972-73 BNE series as originally organized will also be cancelled, according to Gary Snow, chairman of the committee. With this cancellation, BNE is giving its ticket holders two op-tions: 1) the ticket may be turned in at the Commons desk for a refund of $3.50, or 2) the ticket will be honored at all on-campus mini-concerts the ASA sponsors. The mini-concerts, however, are not a guaranteed thing. Ticket holders will have until WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 18, TO PICK UP THEIR REFUNDS. NO REFUNDS WILL BE GIVEN AFTER OCTOBER 18. "We based this decision primarily on the lack of support shown by students and the need for all organizations to have a balanced budget for the year. With all these facts in front of us, we, as a committee, felt that our One of the most important criteria was the impact the news of particular kind would have for those the news was for. This would mean that whatever news would be most important for the audience was first on the broadcast. Hartig said that television and radio journalists try to be as fair as they can but, "It doesn't always work because we're only human beings and human beings make mistakes." "Like a legless person who wants to teach running." was Al Edel's description of most critics of the media. Edel's remarks, in the second half of the presentat-ion, were concerned with criticism of the press. He felt most critics of the media were not informed or familiar enough to criticize fair-ly. He used an example of a woman who did not feel that pictures of McGovern supporters should be taken at the recent dedication of the new water purification plant. Edel said that the event was not really a Republican rally, although Julie Eisenhower was present, but the dedication of the plant. As a reporter, he felt it was important to present all of the news, not just one side. (Continued on Page 2) responsibility to Augustana was to cancel the series," Snow explained. Preston was cancelled on the strong recommendation of "Van" Tonkins, a large producer in Palm Springs, California, with whom BNE has done con-siderable business in the past. Also, when BNE signed the original Preston contract there was a one page rider. The college could supply the equipment re-quired by that rider with very little money. However, since that time, Preston has issued an eight page rider.

Two main schools of argument surfaced during this time: the requirements of this second rider would cost. BNE at least an additional $500. BNE could have legally • in-sisted that Preston play with just the one page rider but having looked into his past concert record, and his tendency to play a less than satisfactory concert without a large sound system, BNE decided it could not take the chance of a poor concert, Snow added. Finally, "because of lack of money and support from the student body," BNE had to make this decision, according to the chairman. basically, some argued that it should be very specific while others insisted that it should be a general statement prefacing a number of documents that would list and enforce procedures. The majority of council people felt it should be of a more general nature. President Snow and Vice President Anderson (in the minority) were for a more specific document so that students would know exactly what their rights were and where they should go if they were violated.
