Leading editors of influential publications, including The New York Times, U.S. News & World Report, Vanity Fair and The New Yorker, will participate in the Delacorte Evening Lectures at the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism this fall.

The 12-week series, a program of the George Delacorte Center for Magazine Journalism at the school, will be hosted by Suzanne Braun Levine, editor of the Columbia Journalism Review.

Gloria Steinem, writer, activist and founding editor of Ms. magazine, will open the 1995 series Tuesday, Sept. 19, with a talk titled "Stories That Do Not Get Covered." Among the other speakers will be John Leo, Jack Rosenthal, Victor Navasky, Hendrik Hertzberg, Graydon Carter, Carol Wallace, Jules Feiffer and Ellen Levine.

All lectures will begin at 7 P.M. in the World Room of the Journalism Building on the Columbia campus at Broadway and 116th Street and, except for the Oct. 5 talk, will be held on Tuesdays. The series is free and open to the public.

"The Delacorte Evening Lectures introduce our students to the individuals who are shaping magazines today and bring the professional world closer to the school," said Joan Konner, dean of the Journalism School. "In that way the Delacorte Center fulfills its mission--to bring the worlds of education and magazine publishing closer together for the benefit of both."
