Whitley Continued from Page 2 present bad news as well as good news," he said. Whitley said it is tough for The Battalion staff to perform as real journalists at times. "Most journalists do not have to worry about homework, an 8 a.m. history class, or 12-page reports - all the stuff associated with college," he said. At times, it is difficult for staff members to maintain a focused effort because so many of them are involved in other activities, Whitley said. "I think on the whole, we do a good job considering we are students trying to learn in a laboratory, such as some students take chemistry lab to understand chemistry. Except ours is seen by 23,000 people everyday," he said. The Battalion is also concerned with getting a more diverse staff because cultural awareness is becoming more and more important to the community, Whitley said. "Minority issues will not be ignored," he said. "A diverse staff is the key to getting diverse issues in the (Battalion)." Last fall. The Battalion was criticized for racial insensitivity after a cartoon was published which depicted Rep. Ron Wilson as a black dog. Wilson is black. Whitley said The Battalion staff is not racist in any way. "We learned a lot from the Ron Wilson incident, especially how to take a closer look at things we put into the paper, and what their sensitivity factor will be," he said. In response to accusations of political bias, Whitley said The Battalion offers a fair and objective voice to students. The editorial board is not biased either, it has equal political balance, he said. "We have gotten complaints of being a liberal rag and a conservative propaganda, built; maintain objectivity in our news (reporting)," he said. Whitley has been involve! with newspaper writing sinceliis sophomore year of high school, He was a sports writer, spoils editor, and editor in chief offe high school newspaper. "Once you get started, ills hard to get out," he said. Whitley has worked forllit Battalion as assistant sports edito: sports editor and a columnistf« the opinion page. He was appointed editorii chief on April 6 by E. Dean Gag; senior vice-president and provost after being interviewed an! nominated by the Studeii Publications Board. Loughman Continued from Page 2 some people looked at it (cartoon), but it was not racist," he said. Loughman said he hopes to increase readership by establishing a reader advisory panel whose purpose will be to provide feedback to him about the newspaper. It will consist of several student readers who meet every two to three weeks with suggestions and complaints for The Battalion staff to consider. Some readers charge that The Battalion has political biases, but this is not true, Loughman said. The staff does not reveal opinions in news stories, he said. Some members of the Corps of Cadets feel The Battalion attacks the Corps with negative news coverage. As a former Corps member of the now disbanded Company N-l, Loughman said The Battalion does not attack the Corps of Cadets. Still, Loughman said he understands the negative feelings cadets have because he, too, was critical of The Battalion as a cadet. "The Corps has to understand that it is a highly visible, important organization on campus and is seen more with or without the paper," he said. "To do our jobs as journalists, it is our obligation to our readership and to ourselves to find out what the story is and cover it." Although journalism was not his original major at Texas A&M, Loughman said he enjoji working for The Battalion ami studying in journalism. Helm been a columnist, opinionpagt editor and reporter for Tk Battalion. Loughman said he feels Ik Battalion can be a good sourced information for the students. "We cover the campusin< way no one else is capable." k said. "We provide informatiomr the latest things, such as the 151 hour bill to what there is todotr the weekend."
