Montgomery Of "State" Leads Public Forum In Press Discussion By BOB ISBELL Mr. John Montgomery, manag.. ing editor of The State newspaper, addressed the Public Affairs Forum held Wednesday evening in the Faculty Room, McKissick Library. Joe Sapp presided at the meeting which was attended by a small but cooperative group. The topic of discussion was "Free dom of the Press," a continuation of a subject introduced at the previous meeting. Mr. Montgomery stated that most people have exaggerated ideas on the freedom of the press. It is their belief that anything should be printed without limita tions. He then proceeded to ex plain why certain restrictions should be made on the type of ma terial allowed to be printed. Dr. J. B. McConaughy, political science professor, led in the follow up discussion. He pointed out that too many newspapers are now re sorting to "name-calling" and not enough reasoning in their argu ments to convert the public to their way of 'thinking. "This sort of thing," he went on to say, "can be a peril to freedom of the press." The elements that are instru mental in the limiting of freedom of the press were cited and dis cussed by the groups as a whole. This topic will again be the sub ject of discussion at the next forum to be held on Wednesday evening, November 6, In the Faculty Room.
