THE ENQUIRER, CINCINNATI, SATURDAY, MAY 2, 1931 CITY'S PLEA REFUSED CAPABLANCA MOVES ON POPULATION "PROTECTION" OHIO BASIC TESTS In Values Of News By State Utilities Body In Appeal Prom Gas Ordinance. Assuming jurisdiction in the controversy between the city of Cincinnati and the Union Gas and Electric Company, the Ohio Utilities Commis sion yesterday refused the petition of the city to dismiss the company's ap- peal from a gas rate ordinance passed by City Council. The ordinance was passed by the City Council last year and specified no period during which the rates were to be in effect. The franchise of the company expired January 19 of this year. Just before the expiration of the franchise, Council passed a second rate ordinance.

An appeal from this ordinance also has been made by the company, but it is not affected by the decision of the commission made yesterday. The city, through John D. Ellis, City Solicitor, in presenting the motion for dismissal of the appeal from the first ordinance, insisted the com mission did not have jurisdiction under a decision of the Supreme Court. Lawrence Langdon, who, with Saul Zielonka and W. J.

Kuertz, represented the company, insisted that the decision of the Supreme Court did not apply in this specific case, since the ordinance in question was indeter minate, and this argument was sus tained by the commission. A hearing also is to be held eoon with reference to the second ordi nance. It is understood the company will contend that this ordinance is in valid, since the City Council was without power to pass it during the pendency of the appeal on the first ordinance before the commission.

Methods' of pruning; the shrubs, trees and plants that should be pruned at this season and the amount necessary; the way to plant seeds and to treat seedlings; the manner of slipping plants, practically all of which can be grown from slips by using the proper method; how to make grass grow on the bare spots the lawn and a new way of rid ding the lawn of dandelions were some of the timely topics discussed by Mrs. Allen.

Dale, Dean of the School Of Business Administration, Miami University, for delegates to the Spring Convention of the Ohio College Newspaper Association. The convention, held at the University Y. M. C. began yesterday afternoon and will be concluded tonight with an informal dinner dance.

Dean Dale, who spoke at a convention dinner last night, on "College Newspapers An Estimate," discussed the nature of college papers ana the ends which they should strive to attain. The basic tests ap plied to news, according to the Dean, ars reader appeal, purposes and objectives of the paper and editorial policy. He continued: "In applying tests to the college paper, the first step is to discover what particular journalistic classi fication the college paper belongs. Is it an Imitation country newspaper or is it a would-be metropolitan dally, is it a tabloid, or is it a house organ? "It is the contention of the speaker that that college paper which looks upon itself as being essentially a house organ comes out best when the above-mentioned tests are applied. Appeal Is Limited.

"Like a house the college paper appeals to a limited group of readers, all of them members of a single concern. Unlike an ordinary newspaper, it does not depend upoi wide sales for Its revenue; it is or dinarily supported as a student ac tivity out of student fees. It does not serve particular ambitions or narrow purposes of editors and proprietors; it does not have to cater to outside interests it docs not have to pay much attention to its advertisers; It does not need to cater to any clique of aggrieved undergraduates or peevish members of tbe faculty "Viewed' from this angle, a college paper must print-the kind of news tha student body, the friends, patrons and faculty of the university will read; its editorial policy will be directed to promoting thoss things that are most constructive and most worth while. It will have a higher conception of its functions than merely to advance the whims of this year's editorial staff. It will take a long-range view.

"Viewed as a house organ, there is no place in a college paper for the influence of special groups. Small Clique Domination. "Freed from the control of the selfish fraternity clique or the little coterie of dominating faculty, the paper is in a position to focus its attention on those thing3 that mean the most and the best for that group to which it must look first, last and always for its enduring influence and support the student body; by serving the student body not by reflecting its weaknesses and not by catering to soreheads, hut by leading its constituents In a far-sighted, constructive, way, first, to desire, then to strive for, and finally, to achieve and attain those enduring things which every student body In its heart of hearts desires namely, the preservation and perpetuation of Its own good name and that of its Alma Mater, the maintenance and extension of the service and prestige of the college in all the fields with which it is concerned learning, fellowship, athletics, right living and good citizenship." An address of welcome jto the delegates to "the convention, who an? guests of the University Bearcat and News, was delivered by William Am-merman.
