Americanism through negative
news stories sent out by our
own press, according to Wil
liam Gordon, senior foreign
officer with the United States
Information Agency (USIAI.
Gordon, former editor of the
Atlanta Daily World and one of
the foremost black journalists
in the country, spoke last week
to the student chapter of the
Society of Professional Jour
nalists, Sigma Delta Chi.
'The world has become the
size of a television screen,'
Gordon said "What we do in
this country is being mirrored
to other societies, and the
picture they see is primarily
bad ."
It is the job of the USIA to
give these countries a balanced
picture of what is happening in
the United States, to convey
that there is a gqod side along
with the bad. Gordon ex
plained
CREATED BY the U S. gov
ernment in 1953, USIA was
made an independent agency
by former President Dwight
Eisenhower. It is the parent
agency the the U.S. Informa
tion Service, which operates
press offices and news services
in 110 different foreign coun
tries. Gordon said
These services provide news
of current events, interpreta
tion and background, and ex
planation of such issues as U.S.
foreign policy. The services
are provided through such
means as Voice of America
broadcasts to 100 countries in
47 different languages, agency
produces films and arlicles in
lli agency magazines, he said.
In addition, the agency oper
ates an exchange program
which allows foreign journal
ists and members of the United
States press to see each other's
countries firsthand, according
to Gordon.
"Personal contact is the best
road to understanding.” Gor
don said. "This way these
journalists can see various
cultures through contact with
individual citizens rather than
through reports, and they are
better able to appreciate dif
ferences"
GORDON IIAS lived and
worked as a foreign officer in
such places as Sweden and
Wesl Africa and has learned
firsthand how these people

view the United States, he
said
Misconceptions are common
especially about the South,
Gordon added “Race is one
thing that still haunts us
around the world," Gordon
said "Even in Europe the
people still think that coming
lo the South is like risking your
life."
Gordon now works with
journalists from foreign coun
tries who want to see how
Americans actually work, live
and eat.
More than 1000 foreign jour
nalists are presently stationed
in Washington and New York,
Gordon said
GORDON LEADS tours
around the country for these
journalists, and he has also
written articles promoting
America's good side—articles
such as interviews with South
ern leaders like Alabama Gov.
George Wallace, Arkansas
Gov Dale Bumpers and form
er Georgia Gov. Jimmy Car
ter.
Foreign journalists are also
curious to see whether Ameri
ca is truly the greatest agricul
tural country in the world, he
said.
The fact that one farmer can
produce enough to feed himself
as well as 49 others fascinated
one group of journalists who
loured the Midwest last fall, he
pointed out.
“There is a hunger in the
world for the good story of
what is happening in the U.S.
It is my job to work with
foreign journalists who are
looking for the good side," he
said.
AS FAR as the attitude of
foreign countries toward the
United States, Gordon said

they still admire this country
to a point.
Bui Ihe black nations of
Africa look primarily to their
own leaders for guidance, he
said On Ihe other hand the
Chipese and Russians have not
had any overwhelming influ
ence in Africa either.
When the Chinese completed
a railroad from Tanzania to
Gambia, the local people wan
ted them to go home, Gordon
said. The same feeling is true
toward the Soviet Union, he
added
The USIA is basically a
public relations arm for the
U.S government. Gordon ad
mitted However, the manner
in which the agency presents
news to the world is flexible
and Ihe government does not
filter what they send out. he
said
"We don't really criticize the
U.S. government since it is our
employer, but we don't exactly
crusade either." he said.
"If we don't provide the
information about an event
first and accurately, our adver
saries might present a version
in which the facts are distort
ed." he pointed out.
The USIA does everything in
ils power to present a balanced
view. Gordon said. “Often we
sponsor 'meet the press’ type
forums in these countries with
independent experts such as
Justice William 0. Douglas or
William F Buckley who can
say whatever they like," he
said.
Gideon giving
A group of seven Gideons xvere on campus Monday, handing out
copies of the New Testament to passing students and faculty
members The Gideons are a group of professional businessmen
trying to promote the gospel of Christ, according to Gideon
Dwight Williams. "No man who is ordained in any way can be a
member of the Gideons." Williams said. The Gideons, who are
financed by all denominations of churches, take time off from
work to visit schools, campuses, hospitals, motels and prisons
throughout the state, distributing the New Testament. The
organization has members in 110 countries, telling people who
are not satisfied with life to “try Jesus.” Williams said.
Medical personnel
work at stadium
By BILL STOUT
Contrary to what might be expected, the
Bulldogs shutout of Alabama didn’t cause a
mass of heart attacks among the Bear’s
supporters However, a few minor problems
tested the emergency preparations at Sanford
Stadium
During the game four patients were taken by
ambulance to Athens General Hospital, Fred
Brewer, the Emergency Room Supervisor,
said. The four patients included a security
guard hit by a bottle, a woman with false labor
pains, a case of heat exhaustion and a possible
cardiac arrest, he said. None were admitted to
the hospital, he added.
“We've had nothing sensational this season:
a couple of pretty hilarious drunks is about
all." Brewer said.
Medical personnel are on hand at every
game in case of emergency. Two emergency
medical technicians, a nurse and a doctor, are
stationed on the club level on each side of
Sanford Stadium, according to Bob Riley, an
Emergency Medical Technician at Athens
General.
RED CROSS personnel. Boy Scout volun
teers. and four ambulances are stationed
throughout the stadium. This medical team is
trained and equipped to handle a full range of
medical problems, he said.
Red Cross workers, equipped with radios, are
on the lookout for problems in the crowds,
Riley said. These personnel can use their
radios to summon whatever type of help is
necessary from the club level aid stations, or
the workers can transport the victim to the
club level.
According to Riley, the emergency medical
technicians are specially suited to handle
cardiac problems, with several portable life
saving machines. These machines include a
hearl lung resuscitator and a heart monitor-
defihrallator la device which shocks the patient
to allow restoration of a heartbeat), he said.
Two ambulances from Athens General, and two
from St. Mary's Hospital, are on hand to
transport patients, Riley added.
The Athletic Association pays for the ambu
lance and personnel service with its own funds,
according to Dr Walter Brown, of the
University Health Services.
"WE DON'T charge for treatment on
Ihe premises, but any treatment rendered at
the hospital is a different matter," he said.
Riley said approximately six patients on each
side of the stadium are treated per game One
or two cardiac arrests are treated each season
Brown said, "heat is more of a problem than
anything else,” as a cause of medical
problems “If they (the spectators) were able
lo limit their alcohol consumption before and
during the game, we would have less prob
lem." Age and excitement increase the chances
of medical problems, he added
Crowds can be a big problem for the medical
personnel trying to treat and transport patients
in Ihe stadium. Brown said.
Riley said he resents the well-intentioned
friends of a victim who get in the way. Often
these people try to convince the medical
personnel that the problem is not serious,
because the victim "just had a little too much
lo drink,” he said
