Professor urges police concern
By DOUG BELL
Daily Collegian Stall Writer
Police training places too much emphasis on filling
out forms and not enough on dealing with victims, a
visiting assistant-professor of criminal justice said
yesterday.
"Our traditional procedure was to hold a clipboard
and say, 'I need certain information,' " Henry T.
O'Reilly, assistant professor from John Jay College,
N.Y., said. "We don't do that anymore. The more
serious the crime s . the more concern we must have for
the victim."
O'Reilly's remarks were,part of a three-day seminar
at the University on police response to burglary.
Twenty representatives from police forces in Penn
sylvania and Indiana attended O'Reilly's lecture,
"Portrait of a Burglar."
"Be concerned," O'Reilly told the representatives.
"If you can't be concerned, at least act like you care
about the fact that the person was victimized.
"We often blame the victim because we get blamed

for being victims ourselves," he said, referring to the
fact that if an officer wrecks a car or loses his gun, he is
punished.
As for more compassionate treatment for burglary
victims, O'Reilly spoke about policemen's intuition and
lie detector tests.
"A policeman's inuition is a very valuable tool," he
said.."We can smell guilt on peop,e.
"People who do bad things have a lot of guilt. You can
ee their hearts beating," he said.
O'Reilly also said that asking someone to take a lie,
detector test implies that the officer does not believe the
person.
"For you to get someone to go on a polygraph, you're
seriously questioning his integrity," he said.
O'Reilly suggested police use lie detectors for af
firming the truth rather than finding lies.
"Why can't they call it a truth detector?" he asked.
"If they ( the complainants) are telling the truth, they'll
jump at the chance to take the test. And if they're lying,

Five steps to be followed in police inquiry
Burglary investigation
By MARY ANNESSI
Daily Collegian Staff Writer
Not only must patrolmen possess
sympathy and compassion when
questioning burglary victims,. but
mechanical skills for ...conducting
thorough investigations must be
mastered, Henry T. O'Reilly, assistant
professor of criminal justice at John Jay
College, said yesterday.
O'Reilly, speaking at a seminar on
"Juvenile Burglaries," outlined five
steps to follow in preliminary burglary
investigations.
First, the crime victim should be in
terviewed to find the exact time of the
crime, he said. And answers to questions
such as "Were the lights on or off when
the crime was committed" and "Is there
anyone you can think of that admired the
stolen ceramic piece?" are needed, he
said.
Next, the crime scene should be

"Take the positive tack," he said.
Also, he said, many more burglaries could be solved
if burglary investisgations were improved.
"Don't be content with the obvious," he said. "Think
like a burglar.
"You've got to ask the victim the right questions. By
asking the right questions, at least you'll• have
somewhere to start.
"If you aren't willing to put in the time, you're not
going to solve burglaries," he said. "You've got to treat
it like a homicide. You've got to snoop and dig around
and ask questions."
O'Reilly worked as, a policeman for 20 years before
becoming a teacher, but his original degree was in
journalism.
He was a reporter for United Press International
when he decided to become a police officer.
"It was easy," he said of the decision to join the police
force. "United Press was paying 40 dollars a weeek and
the police were paying a hundred."
searched for physical evidence to find
what the intruder left behind, he said.
O'Reilly suggested that investigators
follow the transfer theory which "is a
key to any investigation." Look for
things that were not at the scene when
the crime was committed and check the
suspect for evidence that might link him
to the crime, he said.
"Using a (crime) lab can make all the
difference. Dust inside windows for
latent prints," he said. "Moved items
should be checked for prints. Foot prints
and sneaker prints are of great value,"
he Said.
He also suggested officers follow the
"nothing in-nothing out" theory.
"Don't bring things into the crime
scene, and don't take things out like a
cigarette butt or beer can; .Keep the
crime scene in a vacuum," he said.
techniques discussed
And if an officer does not know what to
do at a crime scene, O'Reilly said,
"don't experiment.
"It's better to do nothing than to do the
wrong thing," he said.
Third, O'Reilly said a means of exit
and entry should be established.
"Any good burglary investigator
should be a good burglar," he said.
A pried window, marks left from
spreading a door frame, aglass cutter or
a key found in a mail box or under a door
mat are examples which O'Reilly
mentioned of possible evidence of entry.
The next step is to formulate a stolen
property list containing serial numbers
and detailed descriptions of stolen ob
jects, credit cards and bank check
numbers.
Last, establish the burglar's method of
operation to try to determine a definite
pattern, he said.

Nothing wrong with that either, but
you'd think that if a writer was going to
try a used subject he'd , try a new angle.
That is what's wrong here.

style, but he doesn't say much worth
reading. He's mastered the basic points
of prose only to discover that he hasn't
got anything to say.

This was the time that saw the papacy, corrupted and
weakened by its removal to Avignon, pulled further
apart by the papal schism that followed the attempt to
return it to the Vatican.
These were the terrible years that first witnessed the
plague, the Black Death that killed off a third of
Europe's population. For most of this century, much of
the world's population truly thought itself at the brink of
doomsday.
Unlike most textbooks (which generally follow the
form, "This happened, then this happened and then this
happened"), Tuchman investigates the characters
involved in, her story. She speculates over possible
events that may have shaped their attitudes and moods.
The historical event itself is only the final point in her
investigation. The forces that dictated the act are
established first.
Tuchman's earlier books, all of which center around
the late 19th and early 20th centuries are somewhat
more successful in this respect than "A Distant
Mirror." This does not so much point out a weakness in
Tuchman as it does in the availablity of source

After gaining popularity in hometown
London clubs, the Stones quickly gained
attention with their raw sound and
concerts whichmost often ended in riots.
Mick Jagger is the focal point of the
band, jumping and prancing on stage
while the band pumps out that devilish
beat which has the power to pull an
audience out of their chairs. Power
it's always been the best word to
describe the Stones.
Their abrasive style and strong
masochistic and chauvinistic theme
came across early in the first two self
penned hits the band recorded, "Heart of
Stone" ("No matter how I try/I just
can't make her cry/but she'll never
break this heart of stone") and "Play
With Fire"( "Don't play with me").
They made it clear no one was going to
mess around with a "rolling stone."
The summer of 1965 brought super
stardom and a song for a generation
"Satisfaction (I Can't Get No)."
It was a reflection of the Stone's
frustration, aggression, and
disillusionment as Jagger half-screams,
"When I'm ridin' round the world, and
I'm doin' this and I'm signing that, and
trying to make some girl/well baby
better come back maybe next week,
'cause ya see I'm on a losin' streak, I

As in her earlier books, Tuchman chooses a character
and follows his life through the events of the time.
Where her earlier efforts could often switch main
characters, the lack of 14th century biographical
material demands she limit this practice a great deal.
Often a character must be discussed without so much as
a physical description.
But "A Distant Mirror" offers a bridge. Much of
modern thought (e.g Protestantism, nationalism, a
greater emphasis on science) was born in this lost era.

'Concorde:
to fear airport flicks
By JOHN WARD
Daily Collegian Staff Writer
The curse of the movie industry is
the ultimate desire to milk every last
little penny out of a marketable idea,
driving it into the ground until people
are so sick of the damn film they'd
firebomb the theater if only someone
would give 'em the Molotov cocktails.
So it goes with "Airport" movies.
This year's model is "The Con
corde: Airport '79," the fourth in
what is shaping up to be an every
other-year tradition if producer
Jennings Lang has his way.
"Concorde," stacked against the
mid-air collision of "Airport '75" and
the sunken shenanigans of "Airport
'77," has a pretty tame premise;
something about sabotage and selling
illegal arms to the Viet Cong. The
only new attraction is, obviously, that
sleek, shiny Concorde globe-hopping
from Washington to Paris.
Next to some decent camera shots
of the plane, the cast doesn't have a
chance. It's painfully clear that
producer Lang and director David
Lowell Rich dredged the bottom of
the television barrel for new faces,
since the last three pictures just
about cleaned out Hollywood's roster.
This is to discount Pacino, De Niro,
Hoffman, Fonda, Redgrave, Streep,
et al. They're "superstars" and
above that sort of thing.
This time, the heavyweights are in
the cockpit. Lang managed to get
Alain Delon to play the pilot and
Sylvia Kristel ("Emmanuelle") to
play the head stewardess, supposedly
for an exotic French touch, as if the
"Mother's Little Helper" opens the
album with its theme of bored pill
popping moms who find, "What a drag it
is getting old."
Next is "Stupid Girl" ("She's the
worst thing in this world, look at that
stupid girl") and "Out Of Time"
( "You're obsolete my baby, my poor old
fashioned baby").
Then came their ultimate definition of
a woman's place in "Under My Thumb."
Jagger sings in a sly voice, "Under my
thumb's a squirming dog who's just had
her day/she's down to me, the way she
does just what's she told/down to me the
change has come she's under my
thumb."
The follow-up single which further
painted Jagger and the Stones as the
crown princes of darkness was "Paint It
Black." Jagger screams he wants
everything, even the sun, pafnted black.
The Stones' next single was just too
much for most folks, namely Ed
Sullivan. "Let's Spend The Night
Together" put it on the line and most
radio stations banned it. Sullivan forced
Jagger to hum the title in the chorus
when the Stones performed it on his
show.
Jagger sings about how he'll satisfy
this girl any way possible, because he
knows "she'll satisfy me." He sings,
"I'm getting red and my tongue's get
ting tied...you need some guiding baby."
When he sings,"Don't hang me up and

Concorde itself wasn't enough.
George Kennedy, the only actor to
appear in all four pictures, has more
screen time than ever before as Joe
Patroni, the co-pilot. He spends most
of his time chomping on a cigar and
taking the plane into unnervingly lop
sided suicide rolls.
He has to roll to dodge the drone
missiles that riiillionalre Robert
Wagner keeps shooting' at him. It
seems that Wagner's newscaster
girlfriend (Susan Blakely) has gotten
her hands - on documents that in
criminate Wagner in a scheme to sell
weapons to the Asian powers. For the
sake of spectacular explosions and
mucho bucks at the box office,
Wagner forsakes the usual humdrum
back-alley knifing. He has to knock
off Blakely in style.
Besides the audience, this is also at
the expense of the passengers,
"Tonight Show" leftovers such as
Jimmie Walker, Avery Schreiber,
John Davidson and Andrea Mar
tovicci ( Andrea Who?). A cast like
that sure gives one pause. Martha
Raye turns out to be the smartest one
in the bunch; she spends most of the
movie in the bathroom.
The big question is still left
unanswered: Why? Granted, the first
"Airport" was a potboiler that made
tons of money, but the latter ones
have barely made back their in
vestments. When is Lang going to
learn his lesson?
don't let me down, we could have fun just
foolin' around, oh my my," he almost
loses control of his voice just to hold
back the tension.
In late 1966, the Stones twice came
close to disaster. In a Sweden concert, a
riot broke out during the show. As police
tried to keep the fans back, firecrackers
exploded and destroyed the stage
moments after the Stones fled. In
Zurich, a young fan charged on stage
and hurled Jagger 20 feet to the floor and
started jumping on him. As police
battled the kid, 12,000 others smashed
chairs and railings and rushed the
police. Jagger suffered a broken arm
and a gash in his face.
In 1967, English police raided guitarist
Keith Richards' home and found drugs
and a naked girl wrapped in a fur rug.
The media went berserk with stories of
those "dirty" Rolling Stones and their
wild orgy and drug parties. Richards
and Jagger both were sent to jail, if for
only one night, but the police kept the
pressure on throughout the year.
During all the chaos, with guitarist
Brian Jones busted three more times for
drugs planted at his house, the Stones
recorded a psychedelic album that
alienated many fans and most of the
critics. Coming on the heels of "Sergeant
Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band,"
many accused them of copying the
Beatles and losing their roots.
The Stones had to reaffirm them
selves, and quickly.
