No new action
on dress code
ij DARE—The Cold Shoulder Way
‘PARE Officer Randy Hicks gives a Frasier sixth grader the cold
shoulder treatment when the student offered him marijuana dur-
ing role playing last week The cold shoulder treatment is one of the
weight DARE ways to say no when offered drugs or alcohol. Sixth
(graders at Frazier and Mound Elementary are receiving the DARE
training this semester and the other three elementary schools will
receive the DARE instruction next, semester.
Nothing new was uncovered in-
volving the school dress code con-
troversy at Monday night's school
board meeting.
Nothing new was covered, eith-
er. In fact, the status quo apparently
will remain in effect for at least the
remainder of this school year.
What happens after that is any-
body's dress (make that guess).
The foundation for a committee
to study the school dress code was
established by trustees. The commit-
tee will not be limited to a consid-
eration on skirt lengths, but will be
expected to make an all-inclusive
recommendation on dress codes for
both the secondary and elementary
levels.
A report from that committee
is expected at the December school
board meeting. Any changes enacted
at that time by the school board are
not expected to take effect until the
following school year.
What prompted the review of
the policy was the tradition of cheer-
leaders and drill team members wear-
ing their uniforms to school on
Fridays—pep rally days. The skirts
to these uniforms are shorter than
the dress code allows.
The committee will be limited
to 17 persons and will be composed
Help turn peer pressure

"The law enforcement can’t win
this alone. The only way we are
going to be able to win this war
on drugs is through the children,
and that is to turn the peer pre-
ssure around and make it to
where it is not the thing to do as
it was when most of us were
growing up.”
“I was really impressed with
it,” Johnson County District At-
torney Dan Boulware said of
DARE. “It is a well needed pro-
gram. I think Burleson is on the
cutting edge of the education
program.”
Bob Spurlin, assistant superin-
tendant and curriculum director
for the BISD, said that the DARE
program is going so well that he
has had calls from Allen,
Cleburne, Glen Rose, and McKin-
ney asking about setting up
DARE or a similar drug pro-
gram.
"We’re starting to pick up
team now because a lot of peo-
e in the community are starting
realize what we’re doing,"
icks said.
Barbara Renfro, assistant pro-
gram director and clinical
nanager of adolescent services
it Psychiatric Institute, sat in on
me of the DARE classes at
dound. j
“SHE WAS SO impressed with
he curriculum and the infterac-
ion of the students that she went
tack to the Psychiatric Institute
ind is trying to get jjsome
notebooks, pencils and rulers for
(lie kids,” Hicks said.
! Because this is the first time
ior DARE, the initial costs were
fcrge. The BISD bought three
piovies, had the notebooks prin-
fed, and is now beginning to put
together a slide presentation—
Counesy of community education—
tp present to parents and groups
Jvho want to know more
about DARE.
The DARE program is still try-
ing to collect money—through
donations—tor rulers, pencils,
and bumper stickers, as well as
"DARE To Keep Kids Off Drugs”
tee-shirts for all of the students
to have at the graduation
ceremony after the 17-weeks.
Th^ DARE program is in only
two of the elementary schools for
now for a reason.
"We wanted to start off small
the first time because the police
officer was new to it, it was new
to the school system, and we
wanted it to be successful,”
Spurlin said.
DARE will be taught at Nola
Dunn, Norwood, and Thylor next
semester. If you are interested in
becoming involved, call Spurlin
at the BISD at 295-8115 or Hicks
at the BPD at 295-7146.
Projects fund memorial
BY DOTTIE WILSON
You may have seen it around
tpyvn—at shopping centers or
areas where Burlesonites gather—
this 1979 International Scout
automatic four wheel drive vehi-
cle (in excellent condition.)
No, it’s not just someone’s
recently acquired vehicle whose
owner is proud of it and likes to
show it off. It's one which the
American Legion Post 549 will be
giving away in November. Some
lucky person who choses to
make a $2 donation for the
Johnson County Veterans Mem-
orial Monument now being erec-
ted will take the Scout home
Nov. 11. That’s when the drawing
will take place as well as the
dedication of the memorial—
appropriately, on Memorial Day
at 11 a.m.
But in addition to the ongoing
efforts at ticket sales on the
drawing for the Scout, another
fund raiser of the culinary kind is
being planned for Oct. 23. That
Sunday at 12 noon, a barbeque
ng planned
iday at 12
and auction will be held at the
two fund raisers, the American
Legion will fund costs of the
erection of a Johnson County
Veterans Memorial Monument.
It has been a long-term project
of the Legion, and this year it will-
see completion. Bronze plates',
with engraved names of all
Johnson County residents who
gave their lives in World War I or
II, or the Korean or Vietnam
Wars will be erected on marble
backdrops.
Drop by the Legion Hall to see
the memorial’s erection in pro-
gress, complete with the United
States, Texas, and American Legion
flags, and take a look at the Scout
while you're there. And don’t forget
the barbeque and auction, Sunday,
Oct. 23. There will be delicious bar-
beque with all the trimmings and
bargains from the auction—a good
way to spend a Sunday afternoon
with your family.
