Student Publications

School Board Wins Top Court Review

WASHINGTON (AP> — The Indianapolis School Board today won its bid for Supreme Court review of a decision striking down its regulations governing student publications. The court agreed to review a ruling of the U. S. Circuit Court in Chicago on the board’s suppression of an unofficial student newspaper. The publication, “Corn Cob Curtain," was launched in July 1971, by a group of students at Arsenal Technical High School.

After four issues, the students were told the newspaper violated school board regulations prohibiting students from distributing literature “likely to produce a significant disruption of the normal educational processes." The rules also required approval of the school superintendent before any literature could be distributed in schools. The students stopped distribution of the paper, but resumed it after the circuit court ruled.

Attorneys for the school board told the Supreme Court that “no other court in the history of this country has held similar board rules unconstitutional.” They said the circuit court wrongly assumed that constitutional standards which apply in criminal prosecutions should also apply to disciplinary rules adopted by school boards. “There must necessarily be an adjustment of the con-

stitutional principles applicable to the community at large if the school is to function and accomplish its purpose,” the attorneys argued. Lawyers for the students and the American Civil Liberties Union said school boards should not be allowed to prohibit publications simply because they are “likely to produce” certain results. Quoting language from a 1969 decision of the Supreme Court, they said such a rule lends it-

self to suppressionof publications upon “a mere desire to avoid the discomfort and unpleasantness that always accompany an unpopular view-

point.” The bord contended that “Corn Cob Curtain” contained “filthy, obscene words and pictures.”

Robbery Apparent Slaying Motive

MODOC S.C.(AP) — Asher- Saturday. The sheriff said at iff says robbery apparently was least two persons were involved

the motive for the slayings of three soldiers whose mutilated bodies were found on a lake

shore near here.

McCormick County Sheriff J.P. Gable said the victims’ pockets had been emptied. He said said the bodies were mutilated by stabbings, cuts, blows by a heavy instrument and gun-

shot wounds.

The victims’ bodies were found early Sunday on the shore of Lake Clark Hill. Authorities said the three Ft. Gordon, Ga., soldiers were slain

in the slayings. One of the victims was identified as James Donahee, 18, of El Paso, Tex. The others were not identified immediately pending notification of relatives. They had been at the Army Signal School at Ft. Gordon about five months. Gable

said.

The murders occurred in a heavily wooded area about 20 miles from Augusta and Ft. Gordon, accessible only by a dirt road. The lake forms part of the South Carolina-Georgia boundary.

ton's Republican Gov. Daniel J. Evans, this year’s conference chairman, told a news conference Sunday that in areas of campaign reform and government ethics, “states have quite clearly taken national leadership. In state after state significant sunshine laws, and other similar laws on ethics, on campaign limitations, on lobbyist reporting, open government have taken place while their has not been similar action as dramatic at the national level,” he said. FAIRFIELD£ 111. (AP) — Kenneth Kays is not your gov-ernment-issue hero. His victory' garden is full of marijuana, and he is determined to keep it as a symbol of his freedom. Kays, 24, won the Medal of Honor and was honored at the White House for his heroism in Vietnam. A draft resister-turned-medic, Kays lost a leg in battle in May 1970 but repeatedly crawled past his lines to rescue and treat wounded comrades. Today he is battling over a 1,000 square-foot patch near his trailer in this southern Illinois town where he farms the illegal marijuana plants for his own personal use. Kays has been arrested twice and convicted once for possession and cultivation of marijuana. He was sentenced to one year of probation. Two weeks after his first arrest, the sheriff dis-

(AP)—Members of Teamsters Local 135 returned to their jobs today, ending a 16-day strike against 68 Marsh Supermarkets in Indiana and Ohio. The workers ratified a new contract Sunday and returned to work at 8 a.m. today. The local voted in two units, with the truckers ratifying the contract on a 39-29 vote and the warehousemen voting 138-68 in favor of the new contract. Officials said the two-year contract included a $1.35 hourly increase for truckers over an 18-month period and a $1.60 hourly raise for the warehousemen. John Neal, a union representative, said he “wouldn't have been surprised if they voted it down," noting there were a considerable number of no votes. During the strike, stores were kept open by management personnel and other employes not connected with the work stoopage.

cial “military attaches” took a commercial flight to Bangkok, Thailand, the sources said. The Laotian peace accords specify that all foreign troops are to be out of the country by June 4. The last of more than 17,000 Thai troops pulled out two weeks ago, but military sources say there is no evidence that North Vietnamese has withdrawn any of the estimated 25,000-30.000 troops it has along its supply lines through southeast Laos to the Communist forces in South Vietnam. Informed sources said the United States probably will continue reconnaissance flights over Laos to keep tabs on North Vietnamese troop movements. The peace agreements also set Tuesday as the deadline for release of all prisoners of war in Laos, but U. S. sources said it looks “almost certain” that the Pathet Lao will not free American pilot Emmet James Kay. Kay, 47, a civilian flying for Continental Air Services Inc., is the last American known to be a prisoner in Indochina. He was captured on May 7, 1973.

its army and not withdraw to the prewar borders of 1967 as the Arabs demand. “Our policy is clear. We prefer peace to new military victories, stable peace, a just peace, an honorable peace, but not peace at any price,” he said. Rabin said the disengagement pacts worked out by Kissinger between Israel, Egypt and Syria are “not peace agreements,” adding “where do we go from here? . . . “The next stage on the road to peace must be between Egypt and Israel” with negotiations by steps toward a full settlement, he said. “As for Syria, there is no place for an interim stage.” This was a clear declaration that Israel intended no more withdrawals on the Syrian front and that only a full peace treaty would be considered. But he questioned “whether Syria is ready to sign a peace treaty with Israel.” Turning to Lebanon, Rabin said peace would be “easy to reach” if Beirtat agreed, but he warned that if Arab terrorists continued to infiltrate from Lebanese soil “the Lebanon government will bear all the responsibility.” Rabin was expected to win confirmation of his government from the Knesset, Israel’s parliament, even though his coalition has a majority of only two. His coalition is made up of the Labor party which has ruled Israel ever since it became a nation, the Independent Liberal party and a citizens rights group. The 52-year-old former chief of staff and ambassador to Washington said he would continue Premier Golda Meir’s policy toward the Middle East peace negotiations in Geneva, including her refusal to bargain there with the Palestine guerrilla organizations.

Costly Tree House Not To Play In

NEW YORK (AP) - One of the nation’s costliest tree houses, rushed to completion last month in Washington, D.C. hasn’t been used since May 20. But don’t ask if you can play in it if you come to Washington. It’s reserved exclusively for the two TV cameramen and a lighting director who’ll, be in it from the day the House Judiciary Committee finally opens its impeachment investigation to the public. The tree house, so named by ABC officials, cost an estimated $19,000 to put up. It’s located on the south side of the massive Rayburn Building, which cost an estimated $150 million to put up. The cost of erecting the twostory tree house was shared by the three commercial networks and public television, according to spokesmen for ABC. which supervised the construction. Unlike the Rayburn Building, which took nearly three years to finish, the air-conditioned wood tree house was completed in one frantic night three weekends ago, ABC’s Bob Siegenthaler says. Siegenthaler, a senior producer in ABC News’ special events department, said the rush job was made necessary because at that time it appeared the public hearings would start May 21. Has anyone tried to tiptoe to the treehouse for bugging purposes or to eavesdrop on the committee’s closed sessions? “None of our people,” laughed Siegenthaler, who said

the committee orders periodic checks of the installation and puts a security man on duty during closed sessions to guard against unauthorized ears. He said the structure was locked shut May 20 after tests of the camera and lighting gear and nobody was allowed to go in again. Evansville Divers ClaimilnderWater Monopoly Record EVANSVILLE Ind.

They said the old record of 12 hours and 40 minutes was topped Sunday when they played for 13 hours and 3 minutes, from 4:30 a.m. to 5:33 p.m. Playing in the game were Debbie Davis, Ken Walker, Steve Hagstrom and Mike Ginger. The record was set at a scuba diving school pool in Evansville, using equipment from the maker of the game, Parker Brothers. It included a stainless steel board, laminated cards and money and stainless steel dice. Their air tanks were replenished under water and drinks came from plastic bottles. They also nibbled on hot dogs and raw vegetables.
