The Gilbert Survey s3.s~:-.s.r. -r..
DO PARENTS SAY NO TO EVERYTHING?
BY EUGENE GILBERT
Gilbert Youth Service

From the teen-ager's point of view parents finally
are getting wise to the way they should exercise their
authority.
This doesn't mean MON and dad are relinquishng
their prerogaves Though crosssection survey Of o18
high school students indicates there could be trend
in this direction.
The main thing the survey shows is that todayS
parents have adopted policy Of non-interference with
the apparent approval Of their teen-age sons and
daughter) and that they exercise parental authority
mainly by subtle of inherent veto power.
For example, asked who decides on the time
they should return home from dates-their parents,
the teen-agers themselves someone else?
Shirley Bailey II, of Portland, Ind, replied the
decision hers although curfew Is set If make
the wrong decision"
Barb Rostenbach, 16, of Davenport Iowa, said she
had specific time to return from dates "but will
If ever get home too late"
When we asked who decided how the teen-age
should spend their money Shirley Johnson IT, Of Dallas
replied, IT do-uneSs do something silly" And IT.
year-old Keith Bratberg Of Lincoln, Nebr, likewise
replied the choice was his, cup to certain point"
Thus, with certain reservations which showed up
in their comments but not in their direct answers,
whether or not to go steady only per cent consult
friends without parental interference IS per cent of the
girls and SO per cent Of the boys set their own bedtmes
81 per cent of the girls and II per cent Of the boys
decide for themselves what courses to take In school,
80 per cent determine their own whether or not
to 60 college and per cent Of the girls and 70 per
cent Of the boys the sole bosses of their money.
In each category, however, there was evidence OF
parental watchfulneSs.

lively, "but my parents have to approve"
AS jeff Kinnard II, Of Davenport put it, his choice
Of friends left entirely up to him. "But If my par
ents disapprove, they tell me about it."
Not all the teen-agers yielded the final word to
their parents in all matters however their
indicated.
AS to whether not he should go to college, Bill

high school, I'm on my own"

On the other hand, some of the teen-agers-a mi

cisions made concerning them.

Dear Mrs. Kicker:
/ am o 14-year-Old girl.
One day last week I went to
the movies with my two
little sisters. There was q
cute boy sitting a couple Of
rows from me, whom 1
didn't know. I told the kids
to 90 and ask him to come
sit with me and he did.
During the show we necked
Q little and when / got
home my sisters told my
parents.
They were very mad and
said that I can't 60 to any
more movies or dances until
I prove TO them that l can
be trusted. Do you think
what I did was THAT
wrong? Do you think my
parents are right in punish
ing me this way? I don't!
SAD DUCK.
Your parents were defi-
nitely right to punish you for
your behavior in the movies.
In case there are any doubts
in your mind, here are the
reasons why you deserved
punishment.
/. You literally picked up
the boy and girls who do that
sort Of thing are not con-
Sidered nice girls.
2. Necking in the movies is
wrong and necking with a
total stranger only makes it
that much worse.
8. Your behavior could earn
you the reputation of being
cheap and easy.
4. You were setting a very
Evening star., 1961-08-11

poor example for your little
sisters. They showed better
Judgment than you did be-
cause they, obviously. knew
your behavior was wrong and
that is why they told your
parents.
At IA you should have sew
eral happy teen years to look
forward to but If you con-
tinue this kind Of behavior.
the next few years viii be a
constant round Of parent
teen quarrels, punishment
and probably a ruined repu-
tation.
Our behavior is one thing
we can control, so do yourself
a favor and get smart. Prove
to Nom and Dad that you can
be trusted and be sure you
are worthy of their trust.
Dear Mrs. Kicker:
In many Of your columns
you mention the woes and
troubles Of going steady.
You are causing all-Out
havoc with many teens be-
cause it creates . great deal
Of family friction.
There are some teen
ayers who enjoy going
steady and their relation
ship Is clean and whole
some. Yet, they are af-
fected by your columns,
too.
I've often wondered why
there Is 90 much comment
made ON this subject. I
would appreciate you pub
fishing my letter and, for
q change, List the good
points Of going steady. They
aren't all bad, are they?

BY far the largest of parental control involved
what teen-agers should do during the summer. Even
those who felt the choice baSicay theirs admitted
that in other matters, there considerable In
fluence from their parents.
For instance 17-year- old Loretta Good Of Lincoln
said the decision Of how to spend her vacation was hers
"but my parents interfere" And Sharon Scarbor-
ough, II, of Pomona, said, tits my decison-within
reason, of course"
Rarely did third party enter the decision making
picture at all In most cases it involved the parents OF
girl deciding for her boy friend what time he should
bring her home from a date
There was one other interesting third-party stua-
ton:
my sister advises me what courses to take In
school, said 15yearold Larry Schneider OF Davenport
"She's q high school senior"

Even with all Of his storied

the pace Of his Inauguration

The story comes from q man

Committee.
Mr.. Foley recalled at q
luncheon in his honor .yester-
day that he had "the unpleas-

President Kennedy on sched-

That night, after the parade,
Mfr. Foley said he told President
Kennedy 1t was time to leave o

Mayflower Hotel for his first
stop on the Inaugural Ball
ClTCulC.
His remark brought this re-
Sponse from the new President:
you are overruled. Ed Fo-
ley, you've been rushing me
around all day and I am sick
and tired Of It,"
The President told how Mr..
Foley got him into his car that
morning for the ride to the
White House; how he got him
to the platform at the Capitol;
how he was rushed back into
the Capitol for lunch.
