Youth In Society Discussed Police Service In Public Eye The police are more “in the juhlic eye” than ever before, a utionally-known police official told delegates at A&M Univer sity’s Police-Community Relations Institute. Dr. Louis A. Radelet, warned these are decisive years in the professional growth and advance ment of police service.” The speaker called Sunday night for more research “to reconcile theory with practice” and urged the creation of a university-based national center on police and com Biunity relations. Radelet said research investi- fation is needed relating to “dis cretionary employment of police powers with regard to minority groups” and other police-commun ity problems. He quoted Cincinnati psycholo- st Dr. Robert B. Mills as say ing: ‘Something more sophisti- tated than a shotgun collection of jtatisticS by race is needed in order to pinpoint more adequately the social cancers producing crime md related evils.” "More social research is need ed to give us a better blueprint lor social intervention to prevent crime by destroying its roots, the speaker added. Regarding the policeman’s role today, Radelet said the “social situation” has made the law en forcement officer’s task “increas ingly difficult, the stakes even ligher.” Radelet also noted that police must turn to universities for train ing “geared to academic prepara tion for professional law enforce ment careers.” “The great issues facing Amer ican law enforcement today are embedded in the police-community relationship,” the professor said. He added that research would be me of the functions of a univer sity-based police-community-rela tions center, which, he said, bears tire suport of police executives. “A good police and community relations program are best achi- !ve d when the police and other community leaders work together ™ a problem in which they all feel '*ense of stake,” Radelet said. Delegates Hear Youth Specialist More than 50 police officials, sociologists and counselors arrived at A&M University Sunday for a five-day conference on youth in today’s society. The seventh annual Police-Community Relations Insti tute, conducted by A&M’s Engineering Extension Service, has attracted speakers and delegates from Texas, Louisiana, Missouri, Oklahoma, Arkansas and New Mexico. Keynote speaker was Louis A. Radelet, professor of police administration at Michigan State University who addressed a general session Sunday night. At a Monday afternoon session, Radelet discussed the effect of social change on youth’s attitude toward law and order. Other Monday speakers included Police Chief Curtis Brostron of St. Louis, Mo., who talked on “A police Chief Looks at Youth and the Ordered Society.” “The New Orleans Plan” was discussed by J. Fant Taylor of the New Orleans Police Foundation Monday. Miss Mary Beech, Houston youth specialist; Dr. Mary Ellen Goodman, Rice University sociologist, and C. G. Con ner of the Department of Public Safety topped Tuesday’s agenda. Assistant Attorney General Bill Morse, Jr., outlined the state’s youth program Tuesday, followed by a talk from the Rev. William F. Bull of Houston, “A Clergyman Looks at Youth.” Judge Wendell Odem of Houston reported on “youth and the Courts” at 8 a. m. Thursday, and E. R. McWilliams of Houston, director of the National Conference of Christians and Jews, served as the Thursday noon roundup speaker. The National Conference of Christians and Jews provides scholarships for many of the delegates, Wallace D. Beasley, coordinator of A&M’s police training program said. THE BATTALION Thursday, August 20, 1964 College Station, Texas Page 5 Concern Aired For Disrespect A Missouri police chief voiced concern Monday over “growing disrespect toward those who en force the law.” Curtis Brostron of St. Louis warned, “Disrespect for police of ficers means disrespect for law.” A policeman for 26 years, Bro stron declared, “I am frightened at some of the disrespect shown policemen today.” “Some of these acts by irresponsible persons, seize upon the civil rights cliche to trigger off demonstrations,” Bro stron commented. “For too long, society has been looking at the rising statistics (of crime) and laying the blame on police,” Brostron said. “To- Oay’s challenge is for the whole community, not police alone.” “Young people — leaders of to morrow — must learn what it takes to live in a free society,” the official declared. “The answer to youth* problems may be found in the home, the church, the school,” he said, “not in the police station.” Dates Set For 12th Annual Junior College Press Meet Dates for the 12th annual Texas Junior College Press Association meeting at A&M University are Oct. 4-6, Dr. John C.

But in Har ris County, 700 teenage girls work in hospitals at no pay, even buy their own uniforms. Another 2,- 100 are working in the junior achievement programs. Crime Jumps 71 Per Cent Crime has increased 71 per cent in Texas during the last 10 years, Bill Morse, Jr., of Austin, an as sistant attorney general, said Wednesday. And, contrary to popular belief, the blame does not rest with the population growth, Morse reported. “Crime among juveniles has in creased seven to one ov®r the population figures,’ Morse added. “It’s the increase in criminal acts among young people that has caused the greatest concem.” Dr. Mary Ellen Goodman, Rice University sociology professor, fingered television and movies as “aggravating factors” in the in crease of juvenile delinquency.

But we’re wrong. Even that small word, “help” means that we have realized our own inadequacy and turned to Something outside ourselves for guidance. Called, or not called, “God is an ever-present help in trouble.” And whenever we ask Him to intervene, our lives are filled with new hope and inspiration. He does not ask us to worry about the future. In fact, He doesn’t intend us to worry at all. Worry in dicates uncertainty and fear, and these have no place in Christian living. Perhaps you are thinking “That takes greater faith than I’ll ever have!” But you forget God’s help. Per fect trust . . . serene peace of mind . . . these are your birthright. And your Church will teach you to attain them. „ . , Copyright 19G4. Keister Advertising Service. Inc., Strasburg. Va. THE CHURCH FOR A.l_L_ all eor the church The Church is the greatest factor on earth for the building of charac ter and good citizenship. It is a store house of spiritual values. Without a strong Church, neither democracy nor civilization can survive. There are four sound reasons why every person should attend services regu larly and support the Church. They are: (1) For his own sake. (2) For his children’s sake. (3) For the sake of his community and nation. (4) For the sake of the Church itself, which needs his moral and material support. Plan to go to church regu larly and read your Bible daily.
