Interest “If there is a more confused, bewildered, frustrated and insecure beast in this world than an incoming freshman to a large university. I’ve never seen one,” said Lars Hanson, member of the Contemporary Cultures interest house. “Often people unfamiliar with Penn State ask, ‘How can you survive in such a huge, impersonal institution, where no one knows or cares about you?', a problem faced by freshmen and upperclassmen alike. The answer to that problem resides in North Halls in the interest houses.” An increasing number of students at the University have found the same answer, and the experimental interest program has found a permanent home. The interest house program has been formalized under a new organization. Awareness through Investigation and Discussion, composed of participants in the interest house program. Located primarily in North Halls, the interest houses provide a chance for interested students to sup plement their academic curriculum with seminars, workshops and field trips initiated by the members themselves. The houses also provide an op portunity for students and faculty members to interact on an informal level and share experiences. Now in its second year at the University, the program has been expanded to include five new houses for fall International Cultures, Physical Education, Com munications. Business and Life Sciences. Inspired by the International Language House, the International Cultures House is aimed at students who speak elementary French. German or Spanish. In addition to language majors, the house is designed for those in terested in related fields such as foreign studies, foreign services, international politics or foreign cultures. The house also hopes to attract foreign students who wish to live in residence halls.

Getting off to a slow start is the Physical Education Interest House for students interested in elementary and secondary physical education, coaching, health, therapy, body mechanics and personal development. According to Leete Resident Assistant Jay Borton, poor response has resulted from a misconception that the house will focus on sports. Borton said the house will provide student involvement with faculty and researchers in all aspects of physical education. The house is not limited to physical education majors. For those interested in speech and human behavior, the Com munications House has been formed. Plans include a survey course on communication, for mation of a theater and oral in terpretation group, debates on current political issues, in terpersonal and sensitivity sessions and work with local radio stations. The house is open to students in all majors and specifically to those in speech, journalism, political science, linguistics, psychology, broadcasting, theater, individual and family studies, and community development. Those interested in some aspect of business can unite in the Business Interest House. Programs may include speakers, tours through local businesses, and workshops in areas such as communication, reorganization, leadership and equal opportunity. The Life Sciences House is designed for students interested in areas such as health sciences, biology, biochemistry, forestry and other life sciences.

By CARL DiORIO Collegian Staff Writer “Reform school” is an ominous expression inplanted in most of our psyches sometime during puberty. Today the label “correctional institution” is more likely to be used. These newly named buildings still house the same segment of society juvenile delinquents. Authorities in the field predict, with continued rapid ex pansion of metropolitan areas, statistics in the next few years will show one out of six boys ends up in court for other than a traffic offense before his 18th birthday. Delinquency is not limited to the male sex. Girls most often answer to juvenile courts for running away from home, general ungovernability, larceny and sex offenses. Larceny, burglary, motor vehicle theft, and to a lesser extent, truancy and ungovernability bring boys into juvenile courts. Most delinquents are male. Boys are arrested about five times as often as girls. Four times as many boys as girls are referred to juvenile court. In 1965 more than half the girls referred to criminal court were referred for conduct that would not be criminal if committed by an adult. Only one-fifth of the boys were referred for such conduct. The legal definition of a juvenile varies from state to state. In some states a person is classified as a juvenile until his 16th birthday, in others until the 18th or 21st year. Studies have shown as many as 90 percent of all young people have committed at least one act for which they could have been brought to juvenile court. Many of these offenses are truancy or running away from home, but for the juvenile such acts can be considered criminal. Federal Bureau of Investigation figures show the 11-17 age group, about 15 per cent of the population, accounted for half the arrests for burglary, larceny and motor vehicle thefts in recent years. The arrest rates for these offenses are much higher for 15 to 17-year : olds than for any other age group in the country. Arrest rates on the whole drop off proportionately as age increases. Delinquents are concentrated disproportionately in the cities, particularly in the larger cities. Arrest rates are next highest in the suburbs, and lowest in rural areas. Delinquency rates are especially high among children from broken homes and among children of large families. The families of juvenile delinquents tend to have lower than average incomes and social status. However, the neighborhood in which a youth lives is more important than an individual family’s situation. A lower class youth has little chance of being classified delinquent if he lives in an upper class neighborhood, according to a study cited by the President’s Commission on Law Enforcement and Ad ministration of Justice.

Blacks, who live in high numbers in slums, account for a comparatively high number of arrests. Studies have shown that for a given race, religion or nationality, delinquency rates are highest in the center and lowest on the outskirts of a city. Attention to youth crime is especially important when one considers the juvenile population is increasing at a faster rate than the adult population. An increasing proportion of society lives in the city where delinquency rates always have been highest. In 1968 Presidential crime commission said America’s best hope for reducing crime in general was to reduce youth crime.
