gave a word Of thanks in accept

Usher Of the Minneapolis Spolxes-
man & st. Paul Recorder news

called upon to present the beauti-

And then, as a supposedly un-
scheduled presentation, the Twin
City Council had presented to Its
president, Matthew Little, a spec
tally inscribed plaque for "out'
standing leadership as President Of

This presentation was also made
by Mr.. Newman.

Eight teens are correct in
stating that religion has
played an important part in
history and civics (TEEN,
September 18). However, I
still maintain that the effect
of religion on these subjects
can and should be taught
without teaching religion as
such.
With reference to school
delinquency, a report issued
last year on the Washington
area schools showed that de-
linquency and vandalism
rates were comparable in
parochial and public schools.
Naturally, God can be
mentioned and discussed in

Movie Review

1 believe the suggestion of
David Fraser (TEEN, Sep
tember I'D that TEEN spon-
sor a teen movie review board
to be an excellent one. I
wish, however, to add two
suggestions TO his.
First, I believe that plays
as well as movies should be
reviewed. The hit musical.
my Fair Lady" which played
recently in Washington, was
enjoyed 80 much by those Of
my friends who saw it that
most Of them plan to see
more live theater. If plays
are reviewed by a teen board.
young theatergoers can avoid
attending plays unsuited to
their tastes.
Second, / believe that, If
such a board is formed, teens
of all ages should be repre-
sented. A person 13 years Of
age might find boring a movie
or play which is interesting to
an 18-year-old.

Teen Suffrage

I do not agree that the
voting age should be changed.
as Bob stated, CTEEN.. Sep
tember 18).
I do agree, however, with
his statement that girls un-
der 81 would perhaps vote
for the best-looking candi-
date, rather than the man
best qualified.
Furthermore, I feel that
many persons over 18 have
in the past, and in the COM
ing election still will vote for
the man with the best smile
and best looks, instead OF
his abilities.
JUDY.
I agree with Bob in believ-
ing that the voting age should
be lowered. If we are old
enough, at the age Of 18. to
defend our country, we
should at least be old enough
to select a leader for our Ma
ton.
I don't think the age
should be changed just for
men either. I believe girls Of
18 are intelligent enough to
vote for the candidate they
deem best suited to serve in
political Office. I don't think
they would make q popular
ity contest out of an election.
Then again, perhaps the
age should be lowered just to
include high school graduates
under 81.

Teacher Tyronny

Although there is always
much talk about any student
who abuses privileges, the
teacher who does the same,
under q cloak of reSpecta-
bility, is continually ignored.
> An excellent example can
be seen in virtually any high
schools extra-curricular pro-
gram. In most high schools,
the extra-curricular program
is run for the further educa-
ton and benefit of the stu
dents. Faculty sponsors or
advisors are used for liaison
work between the student
group and the school admin
istration.
But there are teachers who
revel in such positions, abus-
ing. them in a way which
makes the whole premise Of
an extra-curricular program
invalid. They utilize these
advisory positions to rid
themselves Of any power
manias they may possess.
They dictate rather than ad-
wise.
Students may politely OBJ
ject to this type Of advisor
ship" but this takes much
courage. Differences of opin-
ion may easily be recorded on
the secret permanent record
card as ''resents authority"
or unwilling to cooperate
with group" AS the student
has no way Of knowing about
teachers making such re-
marks. it is impossible for
him to defend himself.
The students have no re-
course. If they see that an
organization Is improperly
run, they have no hopes Of re-
forming it. Such an activity
merely operates on a low
level until the teacher leaves
the activity voluntarily. A
teacher can teach well and
still be a poor adviser. A
manner acceptable in the
classroom will not always do
in other activities.
1t seems basically unjust
that parent groups have the
right to criticize teachers
and education policy despite
the fact that they have very
little direct contact with
either, while students who are
more aware Of both are
silenced by permanent record
card blackmail.
