records.
The key, Mr.. Liby said, is the
ehild's need for positive iden-
tiflcation in the form of an
adult figure" At Phillips High
school. he said, such identifi-
cation was furnished for l8
boys by q similar number of
teachers who volunteered to
act as sponsors.
The sponsors role lay some
where between student-coun-
selor ond foster-parent. "Ba-
stcally, the aim is toward con-
vicing the student that he is
wanted and that his past deeds
need not interfere with his
future actions" Mr.. Liby ex-
planned.
AT times (the sponsor) may
assume the role Of father, me-
dtator, guardian. or tutor, and
these roles may involve pro-
viding financial aid, physical
goods, emotional warmth, con-
eern for the child's well being,
and supervision of activities
outside the school," he added.
Close personal relationship
between child and sponsor is
most important in making the
program work. he said.

that while miracles cannot be

"that we can, in a number of

Mr.. Liby's observation that
"since no other organization has
assumed leadership Tin juvenile
rehabilitation it is up to the
individual schools to take the
initiative" keynoted the session

day scoop UP a bucketful Of

labs. Farm the ocean bottom,
fight fires and rescue men from

John L. Colp, head Of San

explained:
''Mobot will lead the way to
completely new concepts in the
field Of remote handling of
dangerous materials. With the
use Of Mobot. we will be able
to disassemble, test and store
radioactive objects more eff

cally."
He said that at Sandia a
nuclear reactor will operate at
5 million watts behind dense
concrete walls. There Mobot,
with its TV-camera eyes, will
find the item to be tested and
carry 1t into a radiation locker
adjacent to an irradiation cell,
then return to its hot lab.
The test items are removed
by reversing this procedure.
