Show Continued from page one ... and must be to Free Press Insures Open Society by ALLEN BARNES Dean, College of Art ud Science South Dakota State Univeraitjr Brookings, S.D. Probably there never has been a time in American history when the press has not been accused of subjective reporting. Charges of distortion and exaggeration have always been directed at newspapers and in more recent years at television reporting. Congress shall mak$ no laws abridging the freedom of speech or the press," says the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. That freedom thrusts an awesome burden on the news media. It must be impartial, yet at times interpretive; it must be thorough, yet unencumbered. It seems to me that the most basic realm which gives special meaning to life is the symbolic realm, the realm of communication. Basic goals in higher education should be and are at South Dakota State University to improve the means and methodologies of the communication of ideas as well as to improve and refine the sensibilities of human beings. If higher education in this country is successfully implementing these goals, and I believe it is, the university trained journalist will believe in a professional creed for his vocation and will hold to ethical ideals and attach considerable importance to the fact that he and his colleagues have such ideals. The journalist will be no less conscientious in the plying of his vocation than his professors in the plying of theirs. He will put his loyalty not with his alma mater, his political party, or his race, but with his readers and his listeners. Always there will be those who think the power of the press is too great, and should have restrictions imposed upon it. There must be freedom of a responsible press as there must be freedom to explore all ideas and opinions in the classroom both freedoms so crucial to our existence as a society as we have known it. Regardless of shortcomings in the press and in higher education, in my opinion, most North Americans are thankful that we have a Constitution that provides freedom of speech and press and therefore an informed and open society.

This indicates probable need for expanding facilities both in prisons and in probation-parol- e programs. Utah is one of a number of states which operate correctional programs under indeterminate sentence laws. A wide range of time is covered in a court sentence (e. g. five to twenty years), and the exact time of a prisoner's release is decided by a parole board. Some other states impose flat" sentences, setting forth a specific time to be served, but providing time off for good behavior. California has adopted a program under an indeterminate sentence law, where prison authorities and the prisoner agree on a release date that cannot be advanced, but. can be set back if the inmate seriously violates prison rules. Utah prison authorities are closely following the California experience. The Foundation report notes that on a number of occasions, commission of a heinous crime in Utah has resulted in a special study and report aimed at correcting conditions which allowed the crime to be committed. Initial public reaction has been strongly supportive pf such programs, but public support has often evaporated when faced with the problem of providing money to carry out recommendations in the reports. Utah correctional authorities V V Season- - fob recognize that their programs must compete for funds with im- mm IE, tes.

Is It Turning a fluorescent lamp on and off will shorten the life of the tube. Therefore, it is better to leave a fluorescent fixture on for up to an hour than to switch it on and off. If it will not be needed for longer than an hour turn it off. Regular incandescent bulbs, however, should be turned A Sa off when not in use. Three-wa- y bulbs in table lamps can conserve energy if they are turned on higher wattages for reading and lower for conversation. Small wattage bulbs should be used in conversation and dining areas. Outdoor security lighting should be put on a timer or photocell unit that turns it off automatically. Which is Mr. and Mrs. Dee Cowan of Cedar City were visitors at the home of Mrs. Gibson S.
