Show The Tfumderfnrd Monday, October 31, 1983 Pcuje 3 News champ visits by Nani Lii Staheli The agony of thought and of decision in relationship to American journalism and national security were debated at length in a student panel and the Southern Utah Town Meeting last Wednesday. In the morning, 10 students and faculty member Robert Young participated in a classroom discussion, on a video tape that the students had viewed earlier as their homework. The tape consisted of some of the nations noted politicians, judges, members of the news media and others, who voiced their opinions concerning difficult questions on the relationship between press and government. Fred Friendly, former president of CBS News and current adjunct professor of journalism at Columbia University, has produced a number of these video tapes covering different subjects which he believes could be of great value in the classroom, encouraging students think about some issues facing our society today. The student panel discussion was video taped to aid in the promotion for the use of Friendlys tapes at other colleges and universities. The town meeting panel discussion was similar to the one students were involved in. Friendly himself directed it, presenting hypothetical situations in which journalism, as a forum for informing the people, conflicted directly with the question of national security. According to Friendly, the purpose of the meetings was to make people seriously consider what they would do when faced with the social, commercial, and political questions that emerged from given situations. To me, the climax is if we make you sigh and say My, thats a toughie, he said. In addition to the previously mentioned guest panelists, Stan Holmes, who was associated with the MX Information Center in Salt Lake, also participated. Toward the end of Friendlys panel discussion the audience was encouraged to participate and many chose to do so. This brought out one of Friendlys philosophies in regard to education: decision is an agony that can only be escaped by thinking.

Apartments in Cedar City for married students are particularly in short supply with only t.vo vacancies reported.

There are 109 spaces available for single students in SUSOs Juniper Hall and Manzanita Court; however, Oak Hall, the colleges married student complex, is filled ro' capacity. Housing for married students is hardest pressed and will be more so if SUSCs enrollment continues to increase, said Montana. Michael D.

If no additional housing is constructed in Cedar City during the coming year and if If no additional housing is constructed... as many as 100 students would be unable to locate housing . the college continues at the same growth rate it has recorded over the last two years as many as 100 students would be . unable to locate community housing at the start of the 1984-8school year.
