JANUARY 30.19j5 Nation/World High court upholds student search law By] UP Patricia McCormack I education editor The climate for order and learn­ ing in the nation's schools will be bolstered as the result of a Supreme Court ruling that teachefs and school officials may ask students to empty pockets, lockers or poeketbooks when there is suspicion a law or school rule has been broken. That was the consensus when leaders of education groups were asked to comment on the effect of the court's opinion. They added that even before the court ruled, some searching went on. Earlier searches were done under authority of official school board policy in most, if not all, of the nation's 15,300 school districts -- when suspicious circumstances made it appear that well-being of pupils and staff were threatened. Suspected possession of a weapon or use or dealing of drugs were consideeed reasonable grounds. "We*were pleased to see the ... Supreme Court decision," said Richard D. Miller, deputy director of the American Association of School Administrators. "We recognize currently in most schools you would find a policy that would deal with search and seizure, however." "The National Education Association welcomes the Supreme Court decision that af­ firms the right of school ad­ ministrators and teachers to con­ duct reasonable searches of students and their properties," said Robert Chanin, general counsel of the NEA, the 1.7- million-member teachers' union.

However, NEA NOW, a weekly ublication mailed to NEA ders, contains a caution by Charles T. Williams, head of the NEA Human and Civil Rights Division. "All school employees have a responsibility to help ensure that the school environment remains civil, but I would advise teachers agailnst actually conducting sear­ ches," he said. "That would be legal but not necessarily prudent. I would hope that any guidelines that districts establish would define a chain ofx command in such situations." Scott Thomson, executive direc­ tor of the National Association of Secondary School Principals, said: "We don't think the ruling changes things much." In a "friend of the court brief" before the ruling, the association noted that principals and teachers know students and are likely to know which are short-cutting the truth. "We're talking in these situa­ tions about people who know one another. The decision provides protection for teachers (and) prin­ cipals." Thomas A. Shannon, executive director of the National School Boards Association, said his group is delighted with the decision. A lawyer and for 11 years deputy superintendent of schools in San Diego, he said: "It reaffirms authority of prin­ cipals to use his or her discretion in ensuring that there is a stable environment in schools, one con­ ducive to learning. You can't learn much in an unsafe environ­ ment. You can't learn in a drug environment." By Pamela Sherrod United Press International CHICAGO -- Reuniting missing children with parents, placing names with faces, and rekindling memories with old friends is the ongoing cover story for "People Finders" magazine, which debuts this month in the United States and Canada. ' "I think there's a warm spot in everyone who hears stories, the success stories, of people getting back together after a long period. It's something that makes you feel good inside," said Blair Hallens- tein, the magazine's publisher.,. Hallenstein, 31, described the publication as the first national magazine to print listings of those in search of missing children, runaways, adoptees, military bud­ dies and friends. • On first glance, the 50-page publication looks like a bound col­ lection of classified ads, but the four or more lines of copy become individualized short stories of hope. . In the runaway section an ad calls to Kathryn Witcome or so­ meone who may know her. "Katie. Please call us right away to let us know you are OK. Your dad and I will come and get you wherever you are. We promise not to ask any questions. We love you." Hallenstein declined to give an estimate of possible earnings or discuss the start-up costs of his first business venture. The mon­ thly magazine costs $1 and ads cost $4 a line. It will be available for subscr ip t ions and a t newsstands. _ - "It's really up to the public. The public response will be the real in­ dicator," said Hallenstein, who has worked in the publication and printing field for more than eight years. "I think our readers will be the man or woman interested in reports of missing people. People also enjoy looking up old friends and being remembered. It's hard to target who our readers will be, but there's a market," he said. Hallenstein acknowledges some similarities between the "People Finders" concept and the fictional television series "Finders of Lost Loves," but said , every ad in "'People Finders' is the real thing from real people." "People Finders," which in­ cludes dozens of listings on adoptees , incorpora ted the defunct "Open ARMS Quarterly" into its publication. The quarterly had dealt with reuniting adoptees with their birth families during its four years in publication. "I'd say the adoptee category and missing children have the most ads," Hallenstein said. The magazine, published in the western suburb-of Batavia, also includes sections for college friends, rewards, reunions and in­ heritances. Dr. William A.
