• 3 PAGE 2 - PLA1NDEALER - WEDNESDAY, JUNE 8, 1M4 Reader assails high school smoking policy "Editor: "It's amazing that a high school district can't formulate reasonable regulations for student conduct and support the teachers and administration in carrying them out. The amount of print given on the front page of The Plaindealer to the question of whether high school P, ublic ulse age students should be per­ mitted to smoke at school is unbelievable. A designated smoking area at the high school level is evidence of a foolish compromise in a matter that is not even negotiable. '"Many high schools in some of the finest suburban areas ban student smoking and the possession of tobacco on school grounds. An infraction results in a reasonable term of in-school suspension.

Excellent school boards take a united stand based on what is an appropriate role for the school in the total student development and do not engage in catering to the coddling of "Junior's Psyche". "School board members Bob Anderson and Steve Cuda deserve credit and support for their smoking ban proposal. The Surgeon General, the com­ munity, parents and school faculties throughout the state support the ban of minors smoking. It's not a factor to be considered in the educational mission. The board should ban smoking and support the student-oriented faculty in carrying out reasonable regulations and move on to more relevant concerns that benefit student development. "The real questions boards of education concern themselves with this time of year are how many students will take science, mathematics or other solid academic subjects and not who can drive to school, smoke, or take minimal subjects for a shortened day. Even in the 1980's, when the school sets the standards, students perform. Students look for structure and parents appreciate it. "More relevant to a com­ munity is the number of students who take physics and not the number of students who can "deal any cards" they want to mom and dad to present a meaningless permission slip to school authorities that only serves to indicate a parent's misconception of the role of the secondary school. Robert Casey" Roll Call: House kills defense spending cuts "one of those cute little amendments designed to give members a chance to vote for massive reductions in that terrible old defense budget without actually having to vote to cut a single, solitary program." Members voting yes wanted to hold 1M5 weapons spending at 1984 levels. minds-Philip Crane, R-12, voted no. PERSHING-The House rejected, 122 for and 294 against, an amendment to delay further procurement of Pershing H missiles for deployment in Western Europe, pending word on whether the Soviets will resume arms-control talks with the U.S. The amendment, offered to HR 5167 (above), sought to apply the same conditions to the Pershing II that the House recently imposed on fiscal 1986 funding of the MX missile. Under the MX plan, money is to be withheld until at least next April. If the Soviets have not by then stated a desire to resume negotiations, MX production likely would be resumed. Most NATO nations have gone along with the Administration's request to accept Pershing II and cruise missiles, targeted at the Soviet Union, to counter the SS-20's the Soviets have aimed at Western Europe. Members voting yes wanted to delay placing Pershing n missiles in Western Europe, in order to induce the Soviets to resume arms- control talks. Illinois-Philip Crane, R-12, voted no. WASHINGTON -Here' s how area members of Congress were recorded on major roll call votes May 17-23. n HOUSE DEFENSE-By a vote of 173 for and 2S0 against, the House rejected an amendment to hold fiscal 1985 outlays for buying weapons at the 1984 level, after adjusting for inflation. Ibis oc­ curred during debate on the $208 billion military authorization bill for 1985 (HR 5167) that was headed for final passage and the Senate. For constituents, the amendment provided perhaps the clearest test of members' sentiment on inflicting across-the-board cuts in defense spending. It proposed "zero growth" for weapons procurement, which accounts for nearly half of the $208 billion military outlay. President Reagan originally sought growth of IS percent after adjusting for inflation, and the bill before the House called for six percent growth. Sponsor Pat Schroeder, D-Colo., said Reagan's "defense spending binge" must be contained because "we are in as great a danger of losing our way of life to the economic enemy as to a military enemy." Opponent Samuel Stratton, D-N.Y., called Schroeder's proposal Malathion decision was liiade in good judgement "Editor: I would like to take this op­ portunity to thank the six McHenry aldermen who voted to stop malathion spraying for mosquito control. It is impossible to please all people and these aldermen may catch some 'flack' for this decision. I personally applaud their decision and am grateful for their concern over the health and environmental problems malathion can cause. TTiere were a couple errors made in the reporting of this story in the Plaindealer which I would like to clear up. Sli ATTENTION HONE OWNERS...

Resmethrium is not a natural dirivitive of malathion as reported, but a synthetic form of peprethrum. It is not a 'natural chemical' and although not as toxic as malathion, could pose similar health problems. I say we're on the right track using BTI for larviciding. . If residences really want relief from mosquitos, they can get rid of up to 50 percent of adult mosquitos by simply making sure there is no standing water in their own yard. This would include gutters, bird baths, tire swings, etc. The council may even want to look into the cost of commercial- size bug zappers for the real problem areas (parks, etc.). It could be a one-time purchase, instead of trying to figure out each year what we're going to do about mosquitos. It is such a victory for the city not to be sprayed with malathion. Let us not make a mistake and... just switch chemicals. Let's leave chemicals out, look at all our options and have a safe, non- poisonous, inexpensive mosquito abatement program for the city of McHenry. Laurel Sweeney McHenry" NERVE GAS-The House voted, 247 for and 179 against, to eliminate money for binary nerve gas from the $208 billion military authorization bUl for fiscal 1985 (above). The amendment deleted $95 million that President Reagan wanted for resuming U.S. nerve gas production, which has been suspended since 1969. Supporter William Ford, D-Mich., said "the U.S. already has an existing stockpile of...lethal chemicals that is estimated to be comparable to the Soviet supply." Opponent Robert Badham, R-Calif., called it "plain bunkum" to argue that existing nerve gas stockpiles would deter the Soviets. "This is like saying that once we invented the Model T truck we should never have to produce a better, bigger truck." Members voting yes were opposed to resuming U.S. nerve gas production. - Illinois-Philip Crane, R-12, voted no. SENATE PRISONS-The Senate rejected, 86 for and 60 against, an amend­ ment to ensure that at least $200 million is appropriated in fiscal 1985 for prison construction grants to states, which would have to match every federal dollar received with three of their own. Ibis occurred during debate on HR 2163, the Senate's three-year, $142 billion deficit-reduction plan that later was sent to conference with the House. While supporter Dale Bumpers, D-Ark., said this was a chance for senators "to start putting their money where their mouth is" on the crime issue, opponents said HR 2163 was the wrong legislative vehicle for such an amendment. Senators voting yes wanted the deficit-cutting plan to earmark $200 million for building more prisons. Illinois-Alan Dixon, D, voted yes. Charles Percy, R, voted yes. ALLOCATE By a vote of 63 for and 32 against, the Senate tabled (killed) an amendment to spend an additional $326.4 million in fiscal 1985-87 on domestic health and child abuse programs. The money was to be allocated as part of HR 2163 (above), the Senate's three-year package of tax hikes and spending cirts aimed at slowing the growth of deficit spending by $143 btilionover three years. Lowell Weicker, R-Conn., said the amendment, however meritorious, should not be allowed to obstruct passage of the long- debated deficit bill. He said a vote to table the amendment would be "politically embarrassing" to some senators, but necessary. Edward Kennedy, D*Mass., said "fairness and a decent sense of national priorities makes this modest increase essential." Illinois-Dixon voted yes. Percy voted yes. fBzauty £cfioot±, One. 2350 E.
