Treatment Corrects Delinquent Behavior

Cuided Croup Interaction is the official name of the
game at Kentucky Village Treatment Center.
Through its use, the responsibility for the correction of delinquent behavior is placed on the youth's
shoulders.

This is the second of a four-paseries on Kentucky
Village Treatment Center, focusingon the" institutional-ization- "
rt

ofjuvenile delinquents.

Charles VV. Bonta, director of social services at KV,
described the program as the "treatment and habitation of young people with behavior problems."
"I used the word habilitation rather than rehabilitation," adds Bonta, "because the terrible reality is that
the social functioning of the vast majority of young
people we receive has never been adequate."
"In order for treatment to be effective," the director
says, "efforts are made to establish a treatment climate
where all members of the staff are a part of the treatment program."
To this end,
cooperation in effecting treatment goals for individual youth is achieved'

through a medium of 10 treatment teams, composed of
all the personnel to whom youth from a particular
cottage are assigned for any phase of the youth's
treatment program.
This includes anyone from the cook to the cottage
r
shifts,
parent, who lives with the children in
to the social worker who serves as the team's coordinaeight-hou-

tor.

This treatment team is concerned with any matter
affecting the youth. This may include living conditions,
behavioral problems, or a part of the decision to release
the child from the institution.
Intensive Croup Therapy
In addition to the teams, two methods of treatment
are utilized at Kentucky Village. A majority of the youth
are involved in intensive group therapy. Scheduled
sessions are held five days each week with a qualified
social worker, called a juvenile counselor.
"It is very surprising how open the kids are," noted
Dick Jones, a young social worker. "They really develop
an attitude of wanting to help themselves and each

other."

The group also meets when a specific child requires
the assistance and help of his fellow group members.
Jones noted that, "I'm usually more of a gatekeeper
rather than a leader of the group. Thekids in the group
trust each other."
Many of the youth do not have the personality traits
or the mentality to benefit in a group set-uThen the
treatment method of casework is utilized.
The. youth that fall into this category are assigned
e
to social workers on a
basis. However, because of the crowded conditions at KV and the lack of
funds to hire more workers, the average number of youth
to a social worker is 30.
A Lack Of Funds
Salaries are another problem that arises from thelack
of money provided to KV by the state.
"There is a large number of turnovers, both in social
workers and cottage parents," noted Robert L. Good,
superintendent of KV. "Stability is what is needed for
one-to-on-

this type of program."
The salary of cottage parents is low and the work is

Kernel Staff Writer
Steve Bright, new Student
Government president, said Tuesday afternoon that the recent SG
election was a mandate for academic reform and student involvement in University decisionmaking.
Bright spoke after he and new
vice president Skip Althoff were
sworn into office by UK President Otis A. Singletary.
Altliough calling for "radical
change," Bright insisted that his

administration wants the opportunity for "a peaceful revolution."
"We refuse to pretend that
these opportunities exist within
token involvement and advisory
committees," he said.

Bright promised that his administration would give immediate emphasis to such matters as

the quality of teaching, improvements in undergraduate instruction and advising and changes
in curricula and course requirements. He asked the faculty to
recognize the need for change.
Regarding student participation in University affairs, Bright
said students must utilize the
positions within the system that

they now hold.
He added: "We must adopt
the principle of selection of students by their fellow students,
not faculty or administration, if
student involvement is to beany-thin- g
more than token

Sr.

Bright said the fact that students are most affected by decisions made within the University
is justification for greater student
power.
"The University exists for students, not faculty members or
administrators. We should not
adjust to this University, it
should adjust to us," he

HISC Probes New Mobe
-

As
WASHINGTON (CPS)
spring arrived and with it a new
demonstrations,
surge of anti-wa- r

the House Committeeon Internal
Security (HISC) set out to find
r
Communists in the
anti-wa-

movement.
Since the New Mobilization
Committee, which the House investigators decided to check, is
a
group which
freely admits to having some
Communists (with a capital and
small c) on its executive committee, there was some question why
the HISC even bothered.

The hearings featured several
undercover police, including Irwin Bock, a member of the Subversive Squad of the Chicago
Police Department.
Bock found the anti-wa- r
movement so
that
he managed to work his way
onto the National Steering Committee of the New Mobe, a position he held until he popped
up as a prosecution witness at
the trial of the Chicago Seven.
The current hearings covered
the New Mobe and the Student
Mobilization Committee (SMC),
which the committee investigators found had ties with the
Young Socialist Alliance (YSA),
a Trotskyist group. SMC members' ties with YSA were already well known in the antiwar movement.

tion, SANE, and other more moderate groups.
Bock, the Chicago policeman,
came in for strong questioning
from Rep. Louis Stokes(D-Ohio)- ,
a liberal added to the committee
to exert a moderating force on it.
Stokes constantly demanded
to know why the Chicago Police
Department was investigating
political views. "I'm against the
war, and the first amendment
says I have the right to say it.
But if I go to meetings in Chicago, that means I'm going to
get investigated, doesn't it?"
After Bock replied that what
mattered was how those views
were demonstrated and whether
violence was used, Stokes demanded to know what laws had
been broken by those Bock filed
numerous reports on.
The policeman conceded that
no charges had ever been filed,
but said it was his job to gather
information for his superiors, who
would then decide whether to
file charges.
The Committee on Internal
Security, which used to be called
the Committee on
Activities, has long been determined to prove that the peace
movement is directed from some
communist capital.
Since evidence is lacking, such
exchanges as the following are
all the committee can come up
with.

The Committee counsel asked
Bock if Leroy Wolins, a Chicago
peace movement leader, traveled
who
abroad. The policeman,
worked with Wolins, replied that
he traveled to Russia and "the
Communist satellite country of

,.

Rumania."

Next came the question: Did
Wolins ever contribute money
to various Chicago Peace organizations? Yes, said Bock, whenneeded
ever the movement
money, Wolins would usually
come up with it.
Having no evidence, the
Counsel did not inquire where
Wolins got the money, leaving
that to each listener's imagination.
Bock, whose broad shoulders and crew cut make him look
like a high school football coach,
did not help HISC when he volunteered that the reason Wolins
went to Russia was to buy books
for a Russian language bookstore
he operates.
During the hearings, an en-

tire list of those attending the

founding convention of the New
Mobe, held last July in Cleveland, was inserted into the record by the Committee counsel.
Any of those delegates who want
to see their name in print can get
a copy of the hearings by writing
to the Committee.

Dick Ware, photographer for student publications at UK, has
become the first person to win twice the Jiminez Centennial
Award for Progressive Contemporary Photography. Ware won the
award in 1967 with a
picture of a water skier, and
in 1970 with this kite photograph. In addition to the Jiminez
award, Ware won Julep Cups in the illustration and creative
classes; he hung six prints and received three "court of honor"
ribbons. The awards were presented Monday night at the Kentucky

the New Mobe."
The current round of hearings
coincidentally occurred just days
before the April 15 mass anti-wa- r
actions.
New Mobe staff members, contacted by CPS, took the hearings
in stride, calling it an "attempt
to smear us." They pointed out
that the Steering Committee of

groups as well as such organizations as Clergy and Laymen Concerned, Fellowship of Heconcilia- -

It is hard to imagine during
the recent spell of balmy weather
that this country is in danger of
losing all of its April sweetness.
Despite all that has been printed
lately about the pollution of our
streams, forests and the very air
we breathe, apparently no one is
taking these warnings seriously.
A drive to thesurroundingcoun-trysiutro- f
Fayette County, beautiful though it is, will reveal the awful affect man has had on the waterways of this state. Garbage and
sewage abound in what once were
some of the most beautiful little
streams in this country. Even this
relatively small degree of pollution
is deceiving because Lexington is
one of the country's luckiest cities
in regard to pollution.
The General Assembly completely ignored the pleas of would-b- e
conservationists during its recent
session and allowed state pollution
laws to remain just as stagnant
as the air over Frankfort. Apparently, our legislature just doesn't
believe the dire forecasts of the
nation's leading scientists, who are
calling for immediate measures to
prevent the total annihilation of
mankind.
We might remember the warnings of those who are too intelligent to ignore the next time nature
graces us with a cloudless day.
We might also do well to hoard
the sunshine we enjoy; its days
are numbered.

There are LKD queen candidate signs
around the campus which say "Only in
America can you become a millionaire
overnight . . . Eh, Dan?" Although the
picture on the poster may be attractive,
the facts are somewhat misleading.
From Big Dan's $1.4 million the U.S.
)Feds will take a 70 percent chunk, which
leaves Iss about $420,000. Kentucky will
want 6 percent, leaving $336,000. Other
miscellaneous expropriations may take
$1,000. All this leaves about $335,000 for
Dan to spread out over five years
$66,000 a year. At that rate, it will take
him a little over 15 years to become a
millionaire, that is, if he doesn't use any
of the money for little things like eating.
Clearly, 15 years to make a million
is hardly overnight. All this goes to show
that the almighty government has very
many fingers in the wealth of the country.

Supreme Court vawhich is now nearly a
cancy
year old.
Tlie appointment, announced
by presidential press secretary
Ronald L. Ziegler some hours
after it had become known unofficially, is Nixon's third effort

not accept a Southerner. Several senators denied this.
Ziegler told reporters the

from a group of six possibilities.
The press secretary said that in
contrast to the procedure on the
two earlier appointments the
