Sho•s from .'/·ideas! shallered the peace that has prev.:~iled s nee
the conclusion cf :he Vie:nam Y./ar Once again, countries a•e at war
Once agarn. tre question faces the American people. Should
we help, or shou d we stay out?
Th e National Observer conducted random, on-the-street ;nterviews in St Jo "Ph M1ssouri.
The responses they rece.ved can be reduced to one urgen• p.ea.
Keep the U. S. troops out at any cost.
"I feel sorry tor Israel," says sa.es·.voman lr's Cayton . . (but)
whatever happens over there, we must keep out of rt. This country
should not get invo ved 1n any more foreign wars If we haven't
learned that from Vietnam we must be crazy."
1-8W
Bl'lck laborer Bud Dav son echoed this view.
'I know that the Arabs attacked first and the Israeli army is
just defending 1tself. But 1 think a lot of people in this country expect American boys to. fight over there if it looks 'ike Egypt is going
to w n You know what this means: It means a lot of black boys
being k Hed 1n somebody else's W<J'."
Phyllts Wright, a local journa st reacted this way: After Vietnam , we're naturally cauttous, My first thought is, I hope we can
stay out of it. I just hope we can slay out of it. I just hope they
can settle the thing without involving us. I have young sons . . . "
No accurate poll has been taken to determine true fee•ings of
the Amencan people toward help for Israel. Th~se responses may be
typical. Yet, we must a ask ourselves one thmg before we urge
support or not of either country. Can we afford another Vtet Nam?

to the ERA
By Craig Miller
After the turbulent riots, sit-ins, and protests of recent years,
there still exists one group of people that are the subject of nearly
open dtscriminalton in 1he Un ted States - WOMEN.
The Woman s Liberation moverr1ent has been a fashionable area
for humor recently. For all the amusement some persons find in it,
women are st1 I repressed and are the subject of very real discrimtnation.
Laws in 49 states are based on Eng tsh Common Law, whtch held
the philosophy that, "When a man and woman are marrted, they
become one, and that one is the man." Louistana laws are based on
the Napoleanic Code, which is worse for women.
Women are dtscriminated against 1n busmess by laws supposedly passed for the r "protectton."
For examp.e, one "protecttve" iaw may state that women may
not work over eight hours a day. What happens tf a woman who
works on an assembl1 ine wants to become foreman, and a foreman works nine hours a day? She JS dented the promotton, because
of a law for her protect on." All she is protected from 1s advancement.
Women are discrimtnated aga nst in the financial world even
more blatently.
Women, m most states, cannot establish credit by their own
right. They are given the credtt rating earned by their husbands,
with thetr husband's permtssion.
One pendtng court case tn Ill nois is representative of the way
women are treated by 1oan compan.es.
The woman works for the f e d e r a government and earns
$1 7,000. Her husbano dea s n stocks, hence his mcome ,s highly
speculative. When applymg for a mortgage, the loan company only
considered the husband's tncome.
Some companies will consider part of a woman's income if she
has worked at the same job for a certain number of years. Men
have to meet no such requirement.
Although al states have communi'y propet ty laws, in mo5t the
husband receives contracts for a I property. For some reason, one
half ts better than the other half
Equa 1 rights for women supposed y became a reality wtth the
Fourteenth Amendment. Yet, for over 100 years womer. have not
recetved them.
Title 7 of the 1964 Civtl Rights Act made d·scriminatton in hiring
illegal on basts of race, creed, color, sex, reltgton, or nat1onal origin.
It is, however easi 1y circumvented by state legislatu res . If a
state can ftnd a reasonab1e premise for prohib1t'ng a woman from
holdtng a JOb, •he Supreme Court will no: str i-.e 11 down. Th·s ·s
the resul: of a case tha: establ shed th.s "Reasonab1e Classa1ca·ion
Test."
Th1s test was applied, for example, to a Mich1gan woman who
applied to be a bartender.
The Supreme Court has gone as far as to suppor,t an Alabama
law where women cannot retain their matden names.
Federal laws appear absent of d.scriminatory crauses Most appear tn stare laws.
Yet is t practical :o try to get fair laNs passed n 99 :;tare eg·slatures?
There is one way to end th1s discriminalion. The Equa Rights
Amendment (ERA) to ;he Constitution.
Lou1siana bas not yet voted for rattftcation of the ERA.
Thirty-eight states are needed to ratify the ERA. Th s amerdment will chllnge considerably the roles of both men and women
tn the United States. Be nforrned about the ERA, and how it will
affect you. 11 w1ll possibl•1 affect you more ll"dn any piece of legislation that has been passed 1n your ltfe;ime And when Louistana
votes on +c Equa Rigf.ts Amendment, suopon 11.
Reme"1Cer that reachers have

WE' RE AN AMERICAN BAND
-GRAND FUNK
Grand Fv"'< Ra road used to
be one of the mos: popu ar
bands tn the nation around 1970.
Back then, a new Grand Funk
album would be certified aold

music began to expand and
change and bands sought to become more 1magma:iv") and progresstve. The Ra:lroad seemed to
5tand stoll and not keep uo with
the changing times As a result,
tl was fef• oehind by man·t.
We~l, 'n lh1s the1r newest edi!ton,
Were An

(Certutnly nc rad cal cnanges in

th1s a bum, Mark farr:er makes

The quality of the words to

the best Dunklin could do was

The purpose of this Forum is to nform students
of the rights and resi)ons1odwes they have 1n rela tion to school ltfe. lnformat1on c:nd guid~lin~s are
adopted from pilmph lets prov ided by the National
Assocmtion of Secondary School Pnncipals and the
Amer ican Civil Liberties Jn O'l.
If high school s:udents are to become citi zens well
tra·ned in the democratiC proc2ss, they ~houid be
g.vc;n every opportunity to participate in the school
and commumty v1ith rights paraliel,ng those of .~du ts.
In th "s sense, students are entitled to freedom of
expression, of assembly, of petttton, of conscience,
and to due process and treatment under the law.
The tam!ly and ad!T'inis;ration are responsible for
dec1ding when lirr.its freedom are required to 9rotect
students and school. In exercisinJ that responsibility,
certam baste pranc•ples shou!d b~ accepted in crder
To prevent repress on o' legitimate freedoms and controversies. These prtnci pies are:
1) Recognition tha: freedom imp1:es the nght to
be wrong and ti1at students must therefore be allowed to act un.·;isely pro•11cied their aCTs do not threaten
life or property, and do not d.srupt 1he academ1c process.
2) Recognition that 1 student has the rtght to "rule
by law" rather than ''rule by per!:ona!ity." To protect
this nght, rules and regulations should be wrttte n and
available to all students. Students should know the
exte nt and lirmts of the faculty'.; authority, and the
powers r~served to s•udents and the responstbilit1es
they must accept.
Evanston Township· High Scheel in lllino1s has had
a pamph'et such as th's for se,•eral years.
Freedom of Expressio n
Freedom of Express1on cannot be legally restricted un ess its exercise interferes w th the orderly condue• of classes and school work. Students should freely express their v:ews c;s long as they do not coerce
others to join in the;r mode of expression and provided they do not otherwise intrude upon th e rights
of others. There should be no restriction on wearing
of buttons or wearing of catches if they 1epre>sent
a point of view, but rights of those not sharing that
view must also be protected. However, the wearing
of provocat ve buttons or patches or distributing controversia1 literature during regubr school hours must
not be permitted to di.;rupt work of the ~chool. The
following principles are suggested by Robert Ackerly
of the NASSP:
1. Buttons and other insignia may be worn to ex~ress
a point of view unless doing so results in a d irect
interference w1th the school program.
2 Buttons or other insignia may not be wo rn o r
displayed if the message is intended to mock,
rid cule or otherwise deliberdtely demean o r provoke others because of race, religion national
origin or individual views.
3. No student may pass out buttons or other literature during regular school hours e ither in class
or in the halls between classes.
4. Students distributing buttons or other literature
before or after regular school hou rs will b'! responsible for removing litter which may resu lt
from their activities
5. Fail ure to observe these rules can result in confiscatic,n of tb.e matP.rial, curtailment of the privilege, or, •.vhen necessary, di;ciplinary ~uspensio n .
The landmark case pertain ng to freedom of expression is Tinker vs. Des Moines Independent School
Board.
In that decision, the court said, "It can hardly be
argued that either students or teachers shed their
constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhou£e qate."
The case involved three students who were suspended for wearing black armbands to school to
dramatize thetr objections to the Vietnam War.
As !he wearing of urmbands, which is recognized
as a form of "symbolic ~peech," was ent rely divorced
from any actual or potential disrupt1ve conduo:t, the
court held that "in the .:•bsence of a specific showing
of constitutionally valid reasons to reg ulate their
speech, students are ent"tled to freedom of :?xp r-:~sion
of their views."
Personal Appearance
Educatton is too tmportant to be denied becuuse
of a student's dress or hairstyle. As long as 3 student's
appearance does not d1srupt the education31 process
or pose a threat to safety, it should be of no conce rn
of II e administration ·
The U. S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit
ruled, "The right to wear one's hair at any length
or in any destred manner is an ingredien ~ ot personal
freedom protected by the United States Con~titu!ion."
(Breen vs. Kaht, 19o9)
The equal pro:ect1on clau>e of the Fourteenth
Amendment was sim1l~dy invoked in· a seccnd deciston upholding the ngh! of a Texas junior college
student to wear a betHd, (CabJIIo vs. San J~cinton
Junior College, 1969) In ano:her cc.se 1nvolv1ng a
junior college in Texas, long haired ma'e stude:nls
won admission '.vhen the court rejected as "perverse
and je june" the colleg<:'s contention that all students
with long hair are potential troublemakers. (lansdale
vs Tyler Junior Co' egc, 1970)
Extracurricular Acti vities
Studen:c s; O- _ 'lVC •he r"ght to =crm o•g.mizations wi:h in the school for any proper and awful
purpose. C!ubs shou d not be a o.ved to discrim1r>ate
unless the purpo:;.c of tie ch.. b requ res qualifications
(i.e., a Frc Pch Club).
If a c'ub hc;s any t e~ ·a an crg'lnizations trat is
not school-onen•ed the ad'T1"n"strat1on should be informed
Student organizattons are e!"ltit ed to chooce any
faculty member they w1sh ac an advtsor
The 90.\ er of adminictrator~ to guard sct>ool propert•r shou d nc· be used to cen•or o~ remoJe a poster
or no:tee fer reason of content.
The nature; and type of dubs, r:rograms, pro"ects
and procedures sho<.~ld be left ;otaHv up to the students.
Th is should be sub:ect onl1 to t._e ban of the principal in th~ event that a prOt)OSed activ1ty thr~ •tens
the health of studerts or disrupts the educat1onal
process.
Although concern m"y be warranted about controversial purposes and c:c:;vi tics of orgnnizations, the
administration should 111 all c:as-2s apply the rule of
clear and cresent danger before tu~ mg cr ocrn1itting
drast 1c actior aga"nst a cl.;b. The interests of the group
must b~ weighed against the good of the total c;tudent
body and the coMMUnity lnte•ference with schoo l
discipline is, of course, iln acceptilb e reason H~Jrings
should be granted before an organization is b3r:ned
for any reason .
It has been previou31y stated that, as ruled by the
courts there are many forms of self-expression, and
that freedom of speech is basic to the democratic
fo;·m of oove·nmen·.
The rlght of students to express their opinions,
des.res, or ideas through an organizations are protected through tt,e cor•• •ut:on.
These dec1sions have not materia.ly strengthened
the aut~on:y of the principal; they have merely reaffi•med +ho"Tl
Right to Pe tition
S· .Jdents sho.;td be free to col lect signa lures on
petlttons concerning e.ther school or out of school
issues It sl1ould not be necessary tor the administration to screen e1ther the content or wording of petit ens.
Students shc.uld be able to present petitions to
tt'e admm 5trat on a• any time. Limiting collection of
stgna•ures before and after schoo 1 hours IS reusonable.
D sc p me s"ol! 1CJ never be administered to a ~tudent

Rrght to Due Process
Sludar.T s gr,ts v:ould be a meaningless exoress on if sc~oo officials c.ould, at their pleasure, ignore
t"ei'T' and 1mposc arbi:r<:ry penalties for infractions.
A ser cos of court rulings have assured students
i''at r ght of due mo::ess under the law.
One case tnJt helped establi~h due process for
students was Dixon vs. State Board of Education of
A abama.
In that case, s:x students were expelled from a
state school after partidpating 1n a s1t-in at a segregated lunch counter.
n~e court rued thai students at a tax-supported
imtitute factng expulsion for mi;conduct are e'ltitled
to noli::e and reasonable procedu.-es of due process.
The orocedures were defmed as follows: "The student should be g1ven the names of witnesses ag~inst
him and an oral or written report en the facts to
v. htch each witness testifies . . . the opportunity to
present . . h s own defense aga 'nst the charges and
to produce e1ther oral testimony or written affidavits
of witnesses n his behalf ... the resu ts and findings
of t~e hearings shc<.tld be presented in a rer-ort to
the student's inspection.''

Sever.:J recent dectsions have assured students
iud cial support of their righ ts to have a free press,
to engilge in lawful demonstration, to hear outside
speakers of their choosing, and freedom of exoression.
Free press became <Jssured in 1967 on the resolution of Dickey vs. Alabama State Board of Education.
•
•
Dickey, editor of a student newspaper, was refused •eadml~sion to Troy State College for printing
the word "censored" in place of an editorial Ct"itical
of the state legis lature which th~ admintstration had
ordered deleted.
Ordering Dickey's readmission, the Federal Distr.ct Court declared, "State school officials cannot
1fcrce a college student to forfeit his constitutionally
protected 1ight of freedom of expression as a condition for hls atlending a state-supported institution."
Advertising. A federal court judge in 1969 sustained the right of a group of high school students
to publish a paid advertiseemnt opposing the Viet
Na., war m the school paper.
He Ma ntained that to permit only commercial ads
would d scr1minate against non-mercantile messages,
prohtblted by the First Amendment. (Lucker vs. Panitz)
Underground Press. The dissemination of an independllntl i produced sci 1ool paper has rais~d several
issues for judicial cons1deration.
A S:amford, Connecticut, law was found "unenforceable" by the Second Crrcuit Court of Appeals. It
reouired that students wbmit written material to the
