Rep. Ted Rise nhoover. a democrat from
Oklahoma’s Second’ District, said this week he is
proud of being placed on the “hit list” of En-
vironmental Action t 'ecause: “...being put on that
hit list by that bund i of ultra liberal, unshaven,
Editor's noir: Scot! Aiken,

editor of The Cincinnali En-
quirer, is chairman of lhe
freedom of information com-
mittee of the Society of Pro-
fessional Journalists, sigma
Della Chi. Sigma Delta Chi,
along with other news
organizations, participated in
the Stanford Daily case as an
amicus curiae.
People with knowledge of
wrongdoing and wrongdoers
will be more reluctant now to
talk with reporters. The Court
The Society of Professional
Journalists agrees with Justice
Potter Stewart's vigorous dis-
sent. Justice Stewart both
noted that the First Amend-
ment “does explicitly protect
the freedom of the press’’ and
that the Court's decision
enables the police to invade
that freedom without
challenge in courts from the
press.

A Student Newsps per Serving the University ol Oklahoma community
in their ecological zeal and do tend to attract a good
many persons who are ove.rly concerned with blind-
ly joining a movement that is in vogue,
Risenhoover’s blanket denn nciation and name call-
ing are certainly beneath the dignity of an elected
official.
Instead of replying to the group’s backhanded
slap to him in a relatively erua’ite manner befitting a
Congressman, Risenhoover chose to reply in an
embarrassingly indelicate manner, embarrassing,
that is, to the state he was elected to represent.
Though Risenhoover’s comments might well
have been taken somewhat ou t of context by the

It is perhaps not neat and
orderly that the press in
American society be more
protected from search and
seizure than is the individual
citizen. But free and
democratic societies do not
have an authoritarian neatness
to them The American press
— printed and electronic — is
a guardian of democracy for
all citizens and a protector of
individual citizens' rights.

Though French leftists have already protested it
and Tass has already labeled it an indication of the
West’s “dangerous designs vis-a-vis Africa,” the
five-nation bloc created Tuesday to combat com-
m u nist influence in Zaire and moderate African na-
tio ns is necessary.
Though undoubtedly factions in this country will
beg.’n shouting “no more Vietnams,” the U.S. —
alon g with France, Belgium, Britain and West Ger-
many ' — needs to begin realistically facing the pro-
blem sTf a communist-dominated Africa.
It is of the utmost importance to the liberal,
democratic W est that (he Third World, of which
Africa .is a major part, develop friendly to the
West. It is not necessary (hat it be fervently pro-
West or t en ently anti communist, but a developed
Third W o rid totally inimical to the W'est would cer-
tainly bode il I for the West’s survival.
It once seemed as if the West could best cultivate
the friendship’ of the Third World by leaving it
alone politically and supplying it with food and
technical know-how. But the intervention in
African affairs by Cuba and the Soviet Union
rather preclude t hat action.

Court crippled the American
press — printed and elec-
tronic.
Bv giving the police a new
privilege to seize unpublished
and unbroadcast material
from newspaper, radio and
televuion files, the Court has
rewritten the First Amend-
ment.
The Founding Fathers pro-
tected a free press to
guarantee the independence of
that press and to nurture its
ability to protect and enhance
our society's democratic in-
stitutions.
