\ /? 1 -a* FRI. JULY 18, 1969 - PLAINDEALER - PG. 7 Public Pulse The July 9 Plaindealer car­ ried a Public Pulse letter writ­ ten by Henry F. Nelti member of School District 15, in which Mr. Nell referred to statements regarding the previous meet­ ing which appeared in this pa­ per which he termed "inaccur­ ate". TYa iW, oyaper repoi tor at­ tending that meeting referred to a notation on the agenda stat­ ing "thai the board approve Ad­ dendum No. 2 of the Safety Sur­ vey Report for Edgebrook ele­ mentary school, dated June 6, 1969, as submitted by Frazier Rafterty Orr and Fairbank." This statement of the board appeared in an account of that meeting, along with a comment that the cost was about $15,000. The Plaindealer reporter noted that following a motion for ap­ proval of the Addendum, one board member questioned Dr. Bergstrom concerning cost and the figure of approximately $*5,000 was given. No further discussion took place. No doubt Mr. Nell's explan­ ation of the procedure in which a waiver of rules was asked from the state was correct. However, this 'discussion did not take place at the meeting under question. Only facts made public at the June 24 meeting were carried in the report; MORE ON ATTITUDES "To the Public: "Two young men have re­ cently written articles to the Plaindealer discussing the at­ titudes of youth in America to­ day. Robert Doran, in his col­ umn, "In Our Time", and Mi­ chael Cooper, in a letter for " Public Pulse", supported each other and claimed to represent the majority opinion of today's young people. " To sum up their viewpoint, both writers feel that young men and women should be allowed the right to think for them­ selves. Actually, each individ­ ual thinking for himself, or 'do­ ing his own thing*, is the phil­ osophy behind the first amend­ ment to the U.S. Constitution. "True, freedom of choice is an unalienable right from which all other rights in a democra­ cy stem. Both Doran and Coo­ per feel that young people have been denied freedom of choice; they cite the 1968 Democratic convention as an example. "According to the writers, a majority of citizens under 30 years old supported Eugene McCarthy. When these youths expressed their frustration at the Senator's defeat, they were brutally attacked by Chicago po­ licemen, the 'pigs', the hired thugs of the 'establishment'. "As to date, no truly ob­ jective study of the Chicago street disturbances has been made. Perhaps the best account was a government sponsored survey which called the incident "a police riot". However, the report also cited examples of rocks, excrement and danger­ ous chemicals being throwpi at tSw law officer*. "After a man has had toilet bowl cleaner thrown into his eyes, it is understandable why he would go beserk and begin clubbing everyone in his reach. Somehow, applying the word "pig" to this man seems gros­ sly unfair. " Perhaps Doran and Cooper are wrong when they claim that McCarthy was the favorite of the young. Perhaps the major­ ity of the writers' friends sup­ ported the liberal Senator. Be­ cause they associated with their like-minded ..companions, the young men could feel that near­ ly all college students thought as they did. "Apparently, neither Doran nor Cooper ever talked to some­ one from Gulf Coast Junior col­ lege, a small liberal-education school in north wet t Klorldl. Seventy-eight per cent of Oulf Coast's students, apeoNln In a pol l taken t jy the i cIm mI' i newspaper, supported («e*rge Wallace. "Probably, the Hurl* alt dents don't represent the tt«l ority opinion of American tiMtllt. Doran and Cooper may *smtu Gulf Coast as • deviate fr«n the collegiate norm. However, they should remember thalltialr Coast students were, in their conservative way, 'doing their own thing.' "A large percentage of stu­ dents from at least one insti­ tution wholeheartedly opposed the liberals' philosophy. This fact tends to place doubts up­ on the writers' theses that they represent a majority. " Lumping American youth into one mass, designated 'hip­ pies' by some older citizens and called 'free, independent and concerned thinkers'by Dor­ an and Cooper, seems fruit­ less. Young people are as var­ ied in poliical thought as the rest of American citizenry. Anyone who stands up and says, "I am the representative of student opinion", seems to ap­ pear as a pompous fool. "Richard Tonyan 312 W. Bay Road" BREAK-INS AT NEARBY HOMES (Continued from page 1) den drive, who was keeping watch over his neighbor's house, reported the burglary to the McHenry county sher­ iffs department July 13. Apparently the thieves enter­ ed the house by prying open a door on a screened porch. A sheriff's deputy believes they used a screwdriver. After failing to open a slic­ ing glass door, the burglars broke into the attached garage «»n«4 ontAreri th« house. Although all the rooms were thoroughly ransacked, several valuable items were left on the floor of the front living room. A hair dryer and a leather suit­ case were taken from a closet and left beside a portable col­ or TV set in the one room. Six dresser drawers were tak­ en into a bathroom and were searched; the contents were left on the floor. Other dress­ ers were ransacked in the bed­ rooms and had their contents thrown upon the beds. Until Weber returns from his trip, the sherifPs department will not know if anything was actually stolen from the home. BELT-TIGHTENING "Fiscal belt-tightening in the' Department of Children and Family Services will result in a savings of nearly $4 million by the end of the current bien- nium," Director Edward T. Weaver reported. He said " planned expenditures were cur­ tailed or deferred in response to Gov. Richard Bt Ogilvie's cost reduction program and in rec­ ognition of the declining bal­ ance in the state's General Rev­ enue Fund." Cutbacks were or­ dered in all programs, includ­ ing services to dependent and physically handicapped children, blind adults, and war veterans who require institutional care. "Costs were shaved because of the financial realities, not be­ cause of any lessening of de­ mand for service in Illinois communities, " Weaver ex­ plained. Icebreakers kept the harbor of Quebec open all winter of 1959, for the first time in his­ tory. ** Cars, like people, often de­ velop sudden ailments.
