Illegitimate Child
Delinquent Source
Who are the children who appear
in court?
Judge Wendell Odem of Houston
said the primary source of juvenile
delinquents are “children born
illegitimate.” One of 10 newborn
in Harris County last year, he
added, were born out of wedlock.
The criminal district court judge
also reported “broken homes” as
a result of divorces produce a high
percentage of teenage criminals. On
the national level, Judge Odem said
four of 10 marriages end in
divorce.
“The child given too much is the
third major factor contributing to
juvenile delinquency,” he con
tinued. “They have not been
disciplined and do not possess the
ability to create.”
The Houston judge was a
speaker at last week’s session of
A&M University’s Police-Com
munity Relations Institute. The
five-day conference ended Thurs
day with a roundup talk by E. R.
McWilliams, director of the Na
tional Conference of Christians
and Jews.
addressed the 60 Institute dele
gates, including law enforcement
officials and youth workers.
Regarding divorce cases, the
speaker said 75 per cent of the
marriages that end in divorce are
the result of “excessive drinking”
and less than five per cent of the
couples attend church.
Once a divorce is granted, Judge
Odem said parents generally find
excuses “to use the child as
whipping post to hurt each other,
which, in turn, causes the child to
lose respect for humanity.”
He encouraged the law enforce
ment officers attending the insti
tute “ to teach youngsters to re
spect the law and encourage them
to get into church activities.”

THE BATTALION
Nine A&M University students
are in Mexico for a 10-day fund
raising venture for the 10th an
nual Student Conference on Na
tional Affairs.
The Aggies extended invitations
to Mexican college students to at
tend the December conference,
which attracts students from 75
schools in the United States,
Canada and Mexico.
“Theme of this year’s conference
will be on Pan America, and we
are hoping more students will
come from Mexico and other Latin
American nations,” Bob Bell, a
Bryan senior, said.
Six of the cadets were the guests
of Mr. and Mrs. Eduardo Longoria
during a stopover in Laredo Satur
day. The others, A$M; students
living in Mexico, joined the groups
in Mexico City and Monterrey.
An A&M graduate, Longoria was
a member of A&M’s Century Coun
cil, which included prominent
Texans who recommended future
goals of the university.
One of the students is Pablo
Livas of Monterrey, an A&M fresh
man and son of Gov. Eduardo Livas
of Nuevo Leon.
Others include Bell, Craig Buck,
Carthage; Jim Roberts, Wichita,
Kansas; John Arnold, Monterrey;
J. T. Rose, San Antonio; Jerome
Rektorik, Corpus Christi; Mike
Laughlin, West Columbia, and
David Saloma, Mexico City.
The student conference also
attracts nationally-known speakers
who discuss foreign policy and
other subjects relating to the fed
eral government.
The 1964 budget calls for $18,000
worth of expenditures, including
student travel costs, meals, hous
ing, speaker fees and other costs.
Approximately $13,000 has been
raised by the Aggies.
