2 ty nd 11- a —_—_—. A gn. f ‘with President WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 5, 1970 O@EDITORIAL petitor that he was, “If I can’t, I have had a wonderful life.” And that, in a capsule, philosophy of a man whose passing last week saddened the entire commu- nity and deeply grieved everyone who knew him. Don Staley tackled anything he un- dertook in that same “fight it hard” way and his spirit of playing hard with vigor and with skill made him a winner. And, his philosophy did bring him a good life. By one of the most vital measure- ments of any man, he achieved the good life far above most men. That test of a man lies somewhere in the realm of “What is the man’s influence for good among the young people with whom he associates?” As an athletic young men with whom close contact. The world of sports one of personalities and skill. Staley had both in abundant quantity. He taught his high school athletes that they must drill and drill them- the fundamentals of the selves in coach — and as a teacher—for many years, he exerted a tremendous thrust upon the lives of was the same boys. And, Don ties. Another to » he came in essentially is Don Others are saying --- TOO SIMPLE It’s not likely that you will ever hear very much about it, but President S. I. Haya- kawa of San Francisco State College, last week came up vith one of the most sensible and simple solutions to reduce if not eliminate riots. destruc- tion of property and general misbehavior on college cam- puses. Testifying before the Presi- dent’s Commission on Student Unrest. Hayakawa declared “draft deferments for college students should be stopped at once.” That was one sugges- tion. Here is another: ‘“Compul- sory two or three years in na- tional service, civilian or mil- “itary at the option of the in- dividual, likely would result in young people returning to school with a clear cut pur- pose in mind.” There, in a nutshell, is the answer to the problem, but you can bet whatever you want that this simple solution will be buried in the volumin- ous, meaningless report which will be compiled after the hearings, chaired by former Pennsylvania Governor Wil- liam W. Scranton, are com- pleted. Hayakawa also said that “bright students have been the principal troublemakers,” and inferred that activists generally are immature and treat their college like a play- pen. : We checked this out with an informed person who spent a lifetime as a scholar and professor at a number of uni- versities. He agreed wholeheartedly Hayawaka’s suggestions. He told us that many college students become bored in college and that two years of military service or employment in industry will give the students an entirely new perspective and meaning to their lives. He also inferred that some of these students would find too, that they are not scholars in the first place and do not belong in. college and others would become better scholars as a result of their military or civilian service. . One thing is certain — a great number of them would discover that the money sav- ed by their parents to send them to college was not pick- ed off a tree. With a new sense of values, those who returned to college would have an entirely new set of values and a deeper sense of appreciation. Hayakawa’s suggestions are reported to have astonished some of the commission mem- bers. That's understandable, and difficult for them to assi- milate — it was too simple. —Ephrata Review criminal A primitive law of the jun- gle is for beasts, not civilized people. Yet, an animalistic practice closely resembling jungle law exists today in the form of street gangs in most of our major cities. An east coast city with more than 200 street gangs recorded 33 gang slayings in 1968. During the first seven and a half months of 1969, 29 youths in this city died in gang wars. One 16-year-old victim of this jungle law was shot to death when he refused to join a neighborhood gang. Street gangs, of course, are not new to the American scene. Metropolitan areas have been plagued by roving bands of young thugs for many years. The growth of gangs in number and size keeps pace with other rising crime prohlems. Because of the nature and constantly changing makeup of these groups, no one can definitely stater how many youths are involved: Led by seasoned young thugs who have had many brushes with the law, street gangs build their reputations on terror and intimidation. If misplaced hero-worship or the desire to belong to a so-called “in” group is not sufficient attraction for recruits, threats and physical assaults are used to induce many teenagers to join. One law enforcement of- ficial familiar with gang acti- vities stated that most mem- bers are forced to join thru intimidation and threats. For the most part, gang fin- ances are obtained through activity, including mugging, purse - snatching, robbery, burglary, blackmail, and money paid for “protec- tion.” Total disrespect for law is ingrained in all members, and each gang is honorbound to take care of its own. The larger, well-organized gangs often provide funds for bail and legal counsel when a member is arrested. During 1968, persons under 18 years of age accounted for 26 per cent of the total police arrests. In urban areas, the same age group accounted for 35 percent of the total police arrests. When only the serious crimes are considered, almost one-half of all arrests in 1968 were for persons under 18. Certainly, a big percentage of these arrests resulted from criminal activity of gang members. Factors contributing to the existence of street gangs ex- tend far beyond the reaches of law enforcement. The gla- mour and appeal of gang membership must be remov- ed, and a realistic, common- sense approach to youth crime must replace the trend of permissiveness. Nothing short of a concerted effort by ‘an (From page 2) game.

He will be sorely missed.

B. S. Shunk, vice-president of PP&L’s Lancaster division, said the heavy requirements for power were due to mount- ing use of air-conditioning equipment during the week’s continuing hot weather and to a high level of commercial ac- tivity. The figure also exceeded the maximum summer de- mand established on PP&L’s system last August 25, when the level reached 2,339,000 kilowatts. During the peak period. the company’s bulk power supply system was operating with a capacity of 2,731,000 kilo- watts. Another 523,000 kilo- watts of generating capacity was unavailable due to forced outages at a number of its power plants. With the supply of electric energy exceeding the demand Shunk said, there was a 9.8 per cent generating capacity reserve on the system. PP&- L’s operating procedures call for capacity margins in ex- cess of forecast customer needs to provide for unexpec- ted increases in load and to protect the system against sudden loss of major genera- ting equipment.
