Another Voice

In o recent issue Of TEEN,
there was q letter written by
o girl named Sally. In this
letter, she praised her high
school, which is Northwood.
I think that someone should
say something on behalf OF
my school-Wheaton High.
We have q very nice school.
Our school activities include
such things as dress-up day.
This is when all of the stu
dents dress up when they
come to school. The ad--
ministration thinks q lot Of
this activity because, as they
say, it helps the behavior OF
the students. OF course, that
does not mean that they don't
think that we are not always
behaving in. the correct man.
ner, or that we do not wear
the right kind of clothes to
school.
Our student council is q
very strong organization. The
administration thinks very
highly of it and is always
willing to help them when
ever they want to. 80.
We have many extra-euf-
ricular activities here at
Wheaton. One Of my favor
ties is the pep assemblies. At
this gathering, all of the
students get together and
listen to the cheerleaders yell
and yell and YELL. Con-
sequently, this starts off q
chain reaction and all OF the
students begin to yell and
yell and YELL.
We do very many worth
while things here also. Take
. for instance the time when
each homeroom adopted two
orphans for Christmas. Each
student contributed IS cents,
which was given to the Or
phanage.
We are now saving money
for q stadium. Last year we
sold chocolate candy. We
were going to do the same
thing this year, but the candy
was melted when it got here
from Holland.
I am sure that everyone
will know that Northwood Is
not the only school that has
wonderful activities going on
within it.

Switching to the next sub
ject, the smoking area, we
don't believe that they are
trying to discourage it by
making it near the garbage
cans, but it is the only con-
venient place. Northwood Is

Considering the fact OF

the intellectualS OF FaTIaA
High School tTEEN, January
O.. Why couldn't someone
with any sense realize that
programs initiated by stu
dent government, such as
"Red and Black Day." Heel
and Tie Day" and Button
and Feather Day." are only
intended to promote coher-
ence and spirit among the
students toward the school?
We all agree that student
governments are organized
for the purpose of carrying
the ideas Of the student body
to the faculty. In this way
the suggestions Of the stu
dents and their solutions can
be carried out more effec-
lively.
These programs can be
carried out by any student
government; however. it is
only those organizations with
pride and forethought that
are able to advance programs
that will promote an interest
in the students for the school.
If students in Fairfax High
care only for the student gov
renment-faculty relationship.
the attendance at the athletic
contests, school productions.
etc, must be nil; for we at
Northwood High have a deep
pride in our teams-whether
winning or losing-and in the
school productions. It is an
accepted fact in Montgomery
County that Northwood High
students have more spirit
and enthusiasm for their
school than all other student
bodies combined.
As to the point Of demo-
cratic freedoms advanced to
the student body, how do the
students feel about the
clamps put on them concern
ing smoking? Following the
democratic theory, the stu
dent government should leave
the problem Of smoking up
to the students. They (the
students) should be rational
and mature enough to think
for themselves and decide
whether or not they should
smoke.
Along with the purpose and
duties you have given to the
student government, we feel
that 1t is also the RESPONSE
bility of this largest student
organization to promote
school spirit among the stu
dent body. We hope we have
helped to remind some people.
SIX MIS- SPIRITS.
We have something to say
In opposition to Sally's letter
(TEEN, December 25). We,
too, are students at North
wood High. This is our first
year at Northwood, as we are
transfers from another area
school by choice.
First of all, Sally doesn't
realize how fortunate she is
to be at Northwood. When
we went to the other school
and heard Northwood men,
toned, we would shrug our
shoulders and add some smart
remark against it. But now
when we are at Northwood,
we realize that Northwood is
as great as we had been told.
AS for Heel and Tie Day."
Red and Black Day" and all
the rest, almost every school
has these. Whenever we are
told to have q Heel and Tie
Day" it Is to suit q certain
occasion such as an assembly
or visitors. AS for Red and

Implied Consent
- t
Act Passes House
After Some Debate

The implied consent" law that
would be in force if HB Al passes
the Senate, went through the House
after few halts and starts. The bill.
an attempt to deter driving while
drunk, is described as realistic
approach to handling the drunken
| driver.
If this bill becomes law, when you
purchase license or permit to drive
motor vehicle, in Montana, you give
the Highway Patrol the authority to
conduct chemical tests upon you to
determine the alcoholic content of
your blood, breath, saliva, or urine.
If, after arrest, you refuse such a
test, it will state on the drivers license
that you are automatically giving up
your privilege to drive for period
of one year. If you are not physically
able to refuse such a test, they may
automatically give it to you.
Several basic points of philosophy
were INTERCEPTED into the discussion.
Rep. Kvaalen pointed out that under
this law we are forced to bear wit
ness against our self. Rep. Spahr, the
principal author of the bill, quoted
figures that show that 479o of high
way fatalities involve drinking driv-
er. Rep. Bashor felt this was giving
the Highway Patrol too much power
and that the patrol is earning the rep
utation of ga state police of ill re-
pute".
Rep. McOmber said that the pro-
lection of the safe highway user over
rides the right of the driver that has
been drinking.
The bill was amended TO the ex-
tent that only doctor or nurse could |
conduct the tests. Originally the bill |
stated, doctor, registered nurse,
or qualified technician". The
other main amendment was offered |
by Rep. Haughey providing a state
ment on the drivers license stating
the purchaser has agreed to these |
bests.

House Ancients
Blast World
Court, Warren

| Radicals in the House had a juicy
few minutes last Monday when they
''let themselves go" on Sub. Hum g.,
favoring retention of the Connally
Reservation. They argued against the
United Nations, Earl Warren, Sena-
tor Hubert Humphrey, One Worlders,
and denied stands of former Presi-
dent Eisenhower and former Vice
President Nixon.
Substitute HIM 8, one of the pile
of letters being written to Washing
ton, d. C. this session, asks that
''no law which will affect the right
of self-determination by the United
States" be passed.
Proponents argued that the Con-
nally Reservation protects the United
States from such precipitous action.
Forrest Crum (R-Yellowstone) said
it protected us from the deadly pat
tern of the last 20 years.
William Beam (R-Yellowstone)
supported the retention of the Con-
nally Reservation because it would
protect us from "The Earl of War
rem, "just the type of person
would not trust if he were repre-
senting the United States.
Proponents of Sub. Hum 8 argued
on the one hand 'the Communists
have never succumbed" to legislation
affecting their self-determination
$50 why should WEI. On the other
hand they described interest in Amer
lean participation in World Court
as some sort of socialist or COM
munist" plot.
Francis Bardanouve (D-Blaine)
thought the Republicans were "get-
ting carried away with their impli-
cations directed at Earl Warren, Sem
ator Humphrey and Eisenhower and
Nixon "all able men,.

House Approves Five
Per Cent Preference
For State Contractors

A 5 per cent preference would be
allowed Montana contractors under
HB 1858 when they bid on state con-
tracts. If there were federal funds
involved in any project this bill could
not apply.
There was concern among some
20 legislators who voted against the
bill Sunday that this would increase
the cost of state building and make a
foreign country out of Montana,
but proponents said most neighbor-
ing states have this law to protect
their own contractors, therefore the
necessity of protecting Montana con-
tractors within her borders.
Proponents did not think this would
add to the cost of construction, but
rather tend to decrease costs. SO leg
islators voted for the bill.
1t was described as bill that would
promote the use of Montana labor
and materials and keep Montana dol
lars at home.
Rep. Haughey (R-Yellowstone)
was curious about the effect on the
18th Amendment to the Constitution,
and saw competition as including out
of-state businesses too.
The bill also includes a provision
that Montana products should be
used where feasible and within
reasonable price competition range.
Rep. Daniels (D-PoweH) thought
a limit should be put on the amount
of money involved in this type of
preference or we could find our
selves with situations such as Cen
eral Motors and General Electric are
in ON the national level and we would
be opening the door to many induce
ments''.
Rep. Schye (R-Meagher), Mon
tana contractor, said there would be
few contracts large enough to get into
the category Rep. Daniels worried
about. He favored the bill because he
said when he got an out-of-state con-
tract he put all his money in the /
bank in Billings and out-of-state con-
tractors took their money home with
them.

Management Wants Door Left
Open For Strikebreukers

Testimony at public hearing on
House Bill i 78 by representatives
of business indicated that manage
ment does not look with favor on the
barring of professional strikebreakers
from coming into Montana. The hear
ing was conducted by Rep. Bentz'
Labor and Compensation Committee.
Both lib 37S and the $1.OO
minimum wage bill were killed on
acceptance of adverse committee
reports Wednesday, Feb. 8.
HB 378, aimed primarily at keep
ing the kind of thugs usually asso-
ciated with strikebreaking and "scab-
berry" from polluting the fair land
scape of Montana when labor-manage-
ment disputes arise, would have es-
tablished criminal penalties for i'm
portation of such workers into the
