Arnett: ‘News is the unusual
REGENTS
Aggressive roots in Vietnam
Reporter: War established
modem journalistic style
By BARRY DOTSON
Krd and Black Staff Writer
Media coverage of the
Vietnam war established
many aggressive jour
nalistic techniques that are
now commonly used in
coverage of military con
flicts today, Peter Arnett, a
noted Vietnam war
correspondent, said Wed
nesday.
Arnett, a former
Associated Press
correspondent who covered
the Vietnam War for eight
years, said, “Vietnam set
the tone for later coverage of
wars Today it is almost
mandatory to interview
guerillas — you get to see the
other side. "
Arnett spoke to journalism
students during a one-day
visit to the Henry W Grady
School of Journalism and
Mass Communication.
Arnett said during the
Vietnam war nobody cared
nor wanted to see the other
side of the issue.
Arnett said the situation in
El Salvador now was "very
similar" to Vietnam then,
but there were differences.
"In El Salvador, television
dominates coverage. In the
early days of Vietnam, there
was very little television.
Now we get graphic images
(of dead El Salvadorans)
immediately,” he said.
Arnett said the major
problem of reporting from
Vietnam was the' ‘resistance
back home to what we were
writing — a resistance to the
truth of what was going on."
"The military in Vietnam
was cooperative, there was
no censorship and we could
generally go anywhere we
liked,” he said.
Arnett disagreed with
President Reagan’s idea to
report only good news
Reagan criticized the
press in January for only
covering bad news and
urged media personalities to
emphasize the positive
aspects of the news world.
Arnett said "news is an
incident or happening that is
inherently abnormal or
unusual. News is the
unusual.”
Arnett corrected Reagan
and said, “The press doesn't
really set the tone for
society, we don’t make laws,
don’t make wars or end
them. The president,
Congress and the courts set
the tone for society, we
merely comment."
Arnett said that, unlike
other journalists, he was not
overly concerned about the
many lawsuits that have
plagued the journalism
industry in recent years.
"We can still write the
hard story, we just have to
get our facts right,” he said.
"A lot of reactions are
meaningless, from people
who are just frightened.”
‘Now we get graphic images (of
dead El Salvadorians) im
mediately’

"The desire for open ad-
bulldog, the helmet emblem
and several slogans, are now
dards to improve the quality
of post-secondary
education,” Smith said “We
want to preserve the in
tegrity of the black colleges
and, at the same time, in
crease black enrollment in
traditionally white in
stitutions
Regent Elndge McMillan
of Atlanta said the regents
had shown a commitment to
desegregation, but that the
individual institutions had
fallen short in their
desegregation efforts
"The colleges in this
system have not taken us
seriously." McMillan said
"It is absolutely essential
that we impress upon the
individual units in the
system our seriousness and
abiding determination to
resolve this situation
satisfactorily."
Larry Blount, a University
associate law professor, also
made a presentation to the
regents, speaking on the
behalf of the Georgia Black
Coalition on Higher
Education Blount urged the
regents to concentrate on
those desegregation
proposals that would not
require additional funding
In other matters, the
regents approved the
allocation of $BOO,(XK> for the
removal of asbestos from
eight University dor
mitories The removal
project is scheduled to begin
Junel.
Regent Lamar Plunkett of
Bowdon submitted his
resignation to the board
during Wednesday’s session
Plunkett’s resignation takes
effect when a successor is
named by Harris He gave
no reason for his decision.
The regents also approved
the transfer of several
University trademarks to
the Georgia Athletic
Association

Two Fingers
is all it takes.
Your house.
It could help provide you with a personal
line of credit up to $100,000
Wouldn’t you like to use some of
the money you have invested in
your house?
Or be able to Like advantage
of its vastly increased value—
without having to sell and move
tf> another place?
Well, in effect, you can. And at
C&S, we'll show you how.
A personal line of credit up
to $100,000. If your financial
situation is sound and you have a
grxid credit history, C&S is pre
pared to offer yi iu a jiersi mal credit
line from $10,000 to $100,(XX).
This isn’t a lump sum amount
like a loan or second mortgage.
It's an authentic line of credit,
determined in part by your finan
cial strength, your home’s value
and what you owe on your
mortgage.
It could put extra cash at your
disposal, whenever you need it,
for a wide variety of useful pur
poses. It’s a gfxid resource to
have. A flexible financial t<x>l.
I low much could you qualify
for? Again, it depends on your
total financial situation, and your
home's value.
For example, assume your
house is worth $100,000 and that
you have a balance of $30,000
remaining <in the ni<irtgage. That
could qualify you for a maximum
possible $45,000 line.
If y< iur Ik mse is w< nth $250,000
and you owe around $70,000 on
the mortgage, you could qualify
for a maximum of $92,500.
The actual amount you’d
receive will vary, depending
on your income, liabilities
and cash fl( >vv.
We'll work with you to
determine the proper
amount.
I low can I spend the
money? That's up to you.
You simply write a check
against the credit line—for a
vacation, college tuition, the un
expected costs that burden us all
from time to time, like taxes.
You decide.
After an initial advance of at
least $1000. you can write checks
for $500 or more for any purpose.
I low do I make payments?
Each month you receive a state
ment that tells you everything.
It lists your available credit
balance, the minimum amount
due. payment due date, and
so on. Just like your monthly
credit card account.
Ask about C&S Ready
Equity. We’d lx* happy to tell you
more about your personal credit
line, how the initial fees am be
charged to the line itself, and
about the added advantage of
floating interest rates*
Ask about C&S Ready Equity

Banks in Georgia. Members
