Gregory Johnson is dean of students at West campus. He says the prime concern ultimately of every dean of .students is the establishment aivijfnaintenance of a healthy, happy, and academic school Clupate. These criteria, he are essential for the student, faculty and com­ munity to cooperatively develop youth capable of meeting their responsibilities as functional adults in our democratic society. Academic learning as well as learning discipline are a result of good planning, a positive approach, mental and emotional readiness, and successful experiences out­ numbering failures, according to Johnson. Discipline just as reading, writing, and math, is learned. However, to achieve maximum learning good, discipline is a must. The philosophy of discipline at West campus is that: 1, students are young adults; 2, maturity is accompanied by freedom; 3, freedom requires responsibility; 4, two styles of discipline exist-self-discipline and external discipline; 5, external discipline is humane; ' ' ."^b'-^pxternal discipline is a experience; 7, external discipline is employed as a , preventative process, not only ' a1 result of a crisis. , 40^ns ( : )n continued, "It is hoped that all students could possess self-discipline but this c is unrealistic. Everyone makes mistakes and students should be allowed to make mistakes, J receive constructive criticism, and external discipline, and } eventually through trial and ' error develop self-discipline and make the right decisions more consistently". \ The dean of students, he says, must effectively provide the viable link facilitating com­ munication between students, parents, faculty, and com­ munity. "It would be foolish to suppose that one person can achieve the disciplinary goals of the school without faithful support from the school faculty and staff who are instrumental inj carrying out daily .philosophy, policy, and procedures of student 'discipline. Likewise, the dean olJ.jstudents relies heavily on a specialized support team to achieve preventative aspects of school discipline. This group at West campus includes three counselors, Jack Vick, Shirley Rogers, and Terry Nordal; attendance office secretary and aide, Jean Bjorn and Irene Sabatka; study hall supervisor, Don Sturm; parking lot patrolman, Fred Bergman; psychologist, Jon Siman, and nurse, Emma Chaberski." There are four levels of disciplinary action at West campus: Loss of independent study, in-building suspension, out-of-school suspension and board of education expulsion. There has been a con­ centrated effort to develop policies that employ the loss of independent study time form of discipline when a problem begins to develop and therefore prevent the development of a crisis situation which mandates a suspension and loss of valuable instructional time. Incidents of external discipline comparisons were listed by Johnson as follows:First semester 1973-74, loss of independent study, 303; in-building suspension, 227; out-of-school suspension, 235 and expulsion, none; first semester 1974-75, loss of in­ dependent study, 1,139; in- building suspension, 169; out- of-school suspension, 28 and expulsion, none. Student absenteeism and tardiness has been reduced by 30.3 percent this year over 1973- 74. From the approximately 1,000 students at West campus, the average daily attendance (ADA) has increased from 90.5 percent last year to 93.38 percent in 1974-75. Johnson says these improvements can be accounted for by the im­ plementation of a maximum absent day policy and a mechanical attendance system utilizing school data processing equipment which provides for more secretarial time devoted to person phone contact with the parents of absent students daily. ' In conclusion the dean said: "It is important for the school climate to allow student and faculty evaluation of school discipline policies. This year an opionionnaire was ad­ ministered to 80 percent of the student body and 90 percent of the faculty to assess the feeling concerning student policies and procedures. The ad­ ministration can more realistically set policies and procedures and recommend change to the board of TOP SALESMAN Robert Fagan of McHenry has earned the high honor of qualifying for Woodmen Ac­ cident and Life company's top sales production club.

"At this point students leaving school without per­ mission during the day and class cutting are universal concerns in most high schools today. West campus is no ex­ ception in these matters and planning has begun to more effectively meet these concerns for next year." Warnings On Kite Flying Historians don't agree on who invented the kite, and when. They're divided between Ar- chvtas. the Greek (somewhere between 400 and 300 B.C.). and Han Sin. the Chinese general (about 206 B.C.). On the other hand, officials of electric utility systems are in complete agreement on the need for caution during the approaching kite flying season. Larry Strohman, district manager Commonwealth Edison cqpipanv in this locality, says following some simple safety rules can help kite-flyers avoid serious injury or even death. Here, are the rules: 1. Always use dry string, wood and paper in your kite- not wire or metal Metallic fibers, tinsel or wire conduct electricity, and should the kite become entangled in a power line, death or injury could result. 2 A kite should be flown only in a level, open space, away from power lines, television aerials, airports, trees and street and highway traffic. 3. Never fly a kite in the rain. A wet string may conduct electricity down to the person flying the kite. 4. A kite should not be flown when the wind is freakish or changeable. 5. If your kite should become snagged in an electric line, leave it and notify the power company. Do not pull the string, or climb poles sup­ porting power lines. Getting back to kite history, the season opening in March marks the 226th anniversary of the first scientific use of the kite-and it wasn't by Benjamin Legal Notice PI BUG NOTICE A state of Illinois law known as the "Uniform Act Regulating Traffic on High­ ways' ' Article XVI.
