BOB POOl.F SAID IT - >VF AGREE
The big field of prospective Democratic nominees
for the presidency has dwindled down from about half
of the U. S. Senate—or so it seemed for a time-to just
one man, ex-Georgia Governor Jimmy Carter
Senators Birch Bayh of Indiana. Frank Church of
Idaho, Lloyd Bentsen of Texas. Scoop Jackson of Wash-
ington and others have been falling like so many dom-
inoes before Carter’s campaign thrust.
There’s still talk that the big union people and
the old-line party regulars can broker the convention
and put Hubert Humphrey on the ballot instead of
Carter, but the people seem to be speaking loud and
clear that they want to have their own wav for a
change.
The labor movement couldn’t even produce the
votes it sought in Pennsylvania for Jackson-the rank
and file seem to be as tired of George Meany, et al,
as millions of others are. They voted for Carter in no
uncertain terms, just as did Texans and Indianans, to
the perplexity of the party regulars.
Thus it would seem at this time that Mr. Carter
is going to the New York City convention in the driv-
er’s seat. The only thing left for the old leadership is
to try to get its man on the ticket as Carter’s running
mate. But they mav not be aole to do that if Carter
keeps winning election after election. He could be in
a position by convention time to dictate what both his
platform and who hi." running mate will be.
For the Republican, well, there’s another question.
The incumbency isihelping President Fori as it has
helped other presidents in years gone by. Former Cali-
fornia Governor Ronald Reagan is making himself
heard on the Republican side as loudly and clearly as
Gov. Carter is on the Democratic side.
A civil libertarian who spoke at the recent Sam
Rayburn Symposium on the campus of East Texas State
University remarked that he thought the people were
telling the politicians that they want honesty in the
campaign, not a bunch of promises which can’t be ful-
filled. While we normally go against anybody connect-
ed with the American Civil Liberties Union, we have
to admit he might be right in this case.
Of course, he blamed Watergate for the electorate’s
current mood which demands honesty. But we feel
that’s only partly the reason. Political maneuverings
both dirty and otherwise, have gone through every ad-
ministration in this centurv-and probably ever since
George Washington’s time.
The American people sense that now; they sense
that Watergate was merely the tempest which cracked
the teapot left boiling too long by ambitious politicians.
In shut, what we feel that the American voter is
trying to tell President Ford, Gov. Carter, Gov. Rea-
gan and the rest is this: We are tired of big government
with its bureaucratic inequities; we are tired of being
pushed around by Russia and Russian puppets: we are
tired of getting ripped off by every foreign country
and principality in the world which wants our money
but not our advice or friendship; we are tired of loss
of strong leadership by Congressmen who say they
can no longer help their constituents unless they (the
Congressmen) hold the chairmanship of a committee;
and we are tired of paying too many taxes for too
many wasteful programs.
We have a feeling the majority of the American
people will still be saying those things when they go
to the polls in the November general election.

During October, November
and December of last year 569
of those arrested in Washing-
ton. D.C. for serious crimes
were on release pending trial
on other charges when arrest-
ed. An additional 402 persons
arrested in Washington during
the same period were, at the
time, free from prison on
probation, parole or conditional
release.
That alarming set of statis-
tics-which all too easily could
be virtually duplicated by other
high-crime cities--is cited in a
footnote to a speech delivered
earlier this month by Warren
E Burger, Chief Justice of the
U.S. Supreme Court.
cases.” said Justice Burger
He added that also worth
consideration are Britain's
"ideas of finality of judgments,
short of three or four appeals
and trials."
Regarding the bail system,
the Chief Justice said, "It is
not uncommon for an accused,
when finally tried, to have
other indictments pending. If
the matter is disposed of by a
guilty plea, after conviction on
one charge, there is some
evidence of a tendency to
dismiss or defer other charges
and to impose a single
sentence."
We believe Justice Burger
has hit some leading judicial
problems smack on the head.
We now can only hope that
government and legal authori-
ties in decision-making roles
will act on his words-and the
mounting evidence of serious
trouble in the nation's system
of justice-to bring about the
changes necessary to repair the
system.

Justice Burger suggested
some ways American justice
could be both speeded up and
made more airtight to a
national conference on Amer-
ican justice in St. Paul, Minn.
"The caseload of the United
States Courts of Appeals has
more than doubled since 1968
but no additional appellate
judges have been provided,”
he said. "Pending in Congress
is a four-year-old request for
65 desperately needed district
and circuit judges....The Sen-
ate has approved 52 new
judgeships, but we will have
no additional judges until the
House acts, although there is a
near crisis situation. ..”

fountainhead of all our legal
institutions, found it prudent
and helpful 40 years ago to

The word around Capitol Hill
is that the Members were told
quite bluntly by their constit-
uents during the Christmas-
New Year's holiday break that
they were in error in slashing
the Defense budget by almost
ten billion dollars. The heme-
front advice, combined with
the blatant communist aggres-
sion in Angola-despite detente
and despite the Helsinki
agreement on Security and
Cooperation in Europe-appar-
ently changed the minds of
many Members. This year they
seem to be facing up to the
unpleasant reality of the Soviet
military buildup and voting
funds necessary to begin a
reversal of a trend that has
been running pro-USSR for
more than a decade.
One recent analysis of the
voting records of the 94th
Congress provided a special
insight into this national
defense issue. It identified one
group that consistently voted to
cut our military strength. That
group is little known in the
hinterlands. It is called Mem-
bers of Congress for Peace
through Law. (MCPL). The
American Security Council’s
National Security Voting Index
shows that the majority of the
170 members of this organiza-
tion scored between 0 and 10
on a scale of 100, while the
majority of the non-MCPL
members in Congress scored
between 90 and 100.
In its analysis the American
Security Council looked closely
at the policies of the Members
of Congress for Peace through
Law. Here is their statement of
purpose and goal: "to coordi-
nate Congressional concern for
world peace...and for the
achievement of general and
complete disarmament under
enforceable world law." In one
of their fliers, MCPL says:
"National governments...have
become the main threat to
national security. The foreign
Policies of individual
nations...(should) seek a
world government.. A new
internationalism would recog-
nize an obligation on the part
of the world’s most powerful
nation to enter into a process
for the redistribution of wealth
and power on a global scale."
We find ourselves wondering
how these objectives square
with the Constitution of the
United States, which the
Members of Congress are
sworn to uphold and defend.
We also wonder how these
MCPL members justify their
allegiance to MCPL with their
obligations to their party
platforms.

Nobody in Cooper Schools are
"keeping up with the Jones" -
in numbers that is, as there are
nineteen persons by the name of
Jones in school. However, the
Preas family is close behind
with fourteen, followed closely
by twelve pupils with the name
of Oats.
The competitve name of
Smith is used only five time in
the index of the 1976 Growl.
The Physics Class of Cooper
High School is making a sound
slide presentation entitled,
"Games Students Play." In-
coporating a knowledge of
photography and tape-recorded
sound, the production will
illustrate classroom examples of
transactional analysis. Resour-
ces include "Games Students
Play” by Ken Ernst. “I’m OK,
You’re OK" by Thomas Harris,
and "Games People Play" by
Eric Berne.
The theory of games origi-
nated with the work of the late
Eric Berne, M.D., a phycho-
analyst who attempted to
explain complex human behav-
ior in simple language. Accord-
ing to Ernst, "a game has a
semmingly plausible and in-
nocent surface statement, or
opening move, which is aimed
at getting a sympathetic re-
sponse from a listener. Many
popular books have since been
written on the subject of trans-
actional analysis. To some
extent, everyone plays some
sort of game -- some construc-
tive, some disruptive - the
identification and avoidance of
harmful games can be a method
of improving human behavior.
The purpose of the project is
to make an audio-visual aid
which can be used to present the
idea of games as a tool in trans-
actional analysis. The slides and
tape will he placed in the Cooper
Presentation
High School Media Center for
use in teacher, student, and
community educational meet-
ings interested in promoting
better understanding of student
classroom behavior.
