i Governor Views Rights, Responsibilities Of Youth PAGE l, - PLAINDFAl KR.WFDNESDAY. JANUARY 8. 1975 Governor Daniel school Journal s students, accom Preston, special /alker is shown in earnest discussion with members of the Johnsburg Junior high *f. The Governor told the young people he was in favor of additional rights for lied by responsibility. The students, from left, are Scott Dixon, editor; Nancy )rter, and Curt Ames, managing editor. students "should also have the right to wear "what you want to wear within reasonable limitations." Quality of education is the greatest problem facing secondary education in Illinois, according to the governor. "I do not have a solution," he says. "All I know is that .we're not facing up to it. al^not groping for ways to meagre quality. All we are doing is1 saying, 'Spend more money.' The first-term governor hits spending as the solution. "If anything has been proven, it is the continual in­ vestment of more dollars in public education does not necessarily mean an im­ provement in the quality of education. We have got to find ways to monitor quality of education and force schools to move in that direction." Gov. Walker would also place more emphasis on basic skills in school. "I don't believe enough emphasis is being placed in the programs in elementary schools and high schools on such basic skills as heading and writing. If I were running the schools. I would cut out a number of other courses and spend much more time'on those kinds of basic skills which I think too many teachers are saying are not important." Illinois youth are- very knowledgeable, according to the governor, and that is what most impresses him about the young people. "The^ict that they can ask as gqod questions as you have asketl me here today, im- «sses me," said the gover­ nor. "I speak in a lot of grade schools and high school's' around the state, and I take questionsXjThey are very knowledgeable. You get as good a question from a high school audience as you get in a college campus, and indeed much more intelligent questions than I sometimes get at press conferences. "The inquisitiveness, the willingness to learn, and I think a clear indication of a backing away from some of the very wild kinds of ideas and ap­ proaches that were being tested out by some high school students as recently as five years ago - that says something about the maturity of students today." (The following is a report by students of Johnsburg Junior high school on their recent visit with Governor Walker) Scott Dixon and Curt Ames Gov. Daniel Walker believes students should have more rights in school. "I am in favor of increased student rights" the governor commented in an interview with the Journal last week. "I also like to see rights go along with responsibilities." The governor has seven children, including two still in secondary education. "It has been my ob­ servation," continued Gov. Walker, "that the more young people demonstrate that they are willing to carry the' responsibilities, then the more willing parents and other adults are to give them more rights." Gov. Walker believes it would be wrong for teachers and administrators to discourage students from exercising rights. ^ "In the halls when you are just talking with somebody and not using profanity, it would be wrong for administrators to say you have to walk through the halls and keep your lip but­ toned."
