News Editor - "I felt safer (at the Chicag Democratic Convention) t h a n have ever felt in my life," BE Hickman, former press secretar to the governor and former new director of WIS-TV, claimed her Thursday night. Jack Bass, Columbia b u r e a chief of the Charlotte Obserre countered, "I did feel there wa antagonism on the part of the pI lice toward members of the press. It "upset me very much" to se people being beaten up for little c no provocation, Bass said. Bass and Hickman were two of four newsmen participating in a panel discussion sponsored by the USC chapter of Sigma Delta Chi, professional journalism society. Bill Rone, associate editor c The State newspaper, a n d Bc Gordon, of the Columbia bureau o United Press International, wer also involved in the discussion < the press' role in covering the n tional conventions. Hickman, who attended the cot vention as an unofficial observe said he felt the public got the in pression that Chicago was a cit under seige. He blamed that impression i part on the fact that emphasis i spot news coverage goes to tI unusual rather than to the routin He added that he did not feel tho criterion should be used in convet tion coverage. "The public got the impression1 of riots and scuffling going on everywhere and that Chicago was a dangerous place to be," he said On the other hand, Gordon, wl was in the Grant Park area, state "I think that I have never see police attack people with as litt provocation and as much gusto an zeal as they did in Chicago. I ten not to be too sympathetic wit Mayor Daley's part in some case I think he might have gone ovez board." Hickman's in a i n objection I news-media coverage of the cor vention was that the pr-.ss faile to give a balanced picture. He sai - that he thought the belligerent fa( tion got far more coverage tha the other side and that the criti< of police handling of the riots wer given far more prominence tha the supporters. Iba was critical of the conven tin coverage for tnot giving full coveraige to the role Gov. McNair pltayed in the coniventiont. "SteNair came close to gettiri the vice presidential nomination, he said, but added that the govel 'Applications Due Oct. 28 For Voting IStudents who h a vye registere for the November elections ma still submit applications for at sentee b)allots.

Hass contended that the South 0 held the balance of power at the convention and that MeNair, as s b chairnan of the Southern Gover- s 7 nors' Conference, was a major fig- a s ure in the South's role. s e Iickman was also critical of the media's choice of emphasis, espe- s u cially the prominence given to the ti draft-Kennedy movement.

The National Mobilization to n d the War in Vietnam (the [obilization), a loosely' formed or anization which in the past has mordlinated many of the mass anti ar demonstrations and which ear er this y'ear called for the protest i Chicago, is the one group so far a become specific about its plans. Mohilizat ion leaders say t h e y re calling on studlents to "find ew w ays of voting this year-in he streets rather than in polling laces" since voting for one of the bree major candidates gives no hance to vote for ending the Viet am war now. The thrust of the actIvIties, said aul Potter of the Mobilization teering committee, will be to link le continuing w a r in Vietnamn ith the concept that our present olitical system, rather than deal cg with the situation, tends to rano)tUt Iat.
