school officials in this small northern
Oklahoma town. ,
Violation of a new dress code
which bans advertisement of ciga
rettes, beer or other alcoholic bev
erages has resulted in a teen-aged
brother and sister being temporarily
banned horn the school’s athletic
program.
Gene Robinson, 16, wore a
T-shirt to school Friday with the
word “Budweiser" on it, and his sis
ter Kerry, 15, wore a shirt with the
word “Coors.
Robinson said the label on his sis
ter’s shirt was “about the size of a
small bottle lid, ’’ and she offered to
wear the shirt inside out the rest of
the day but the compromise was re
jected so she went home.

Principal Paul Pettigrew said.
No smoking or drinking is al
lowed on the school grounds.
Pettigrew said the two students
had been “isolated” from athletics
and other extracurricular activities
until they agreed not to wear the
shirts again. He said the activities
ban would not be permanent unless
they refused to comply with the
dress code.
Robinson also said he was told he
would be isolated in a separate
classroom if he wore the shirt again.
The students’ mother, Mrs. Don
Robinson, plans to take her protest
before the school board tonight.
Pettigrew said the dress code fol
lowed a court decision stating Gid
eon Bibles placed in schools “gave
tacit approval to the contents.’
He added, “That would be in
violation of some of the earlier deci
sions, and we can’t do that, and the
same thing goes with the beverage
advertisements. We can’t condone
smoking or drinking, and won’t
allow anything in the school that
suggests either.”
The dress code was altered this
summer to exclude the beer and
cigarette advertisements.
Status for gypsies

GENEVA, Switzerland — Gyp
sies have finally gained international
status. 1
The U.N. subcommission on
Human Rights adopted a resolution
Wednesday asking that “those coun

Jielater relayed details to police,
h her conversations. Miss For-
listens very carefully not only to
it people say, but how they say
movements.
“Pauses mean a lot,” she said. “I
asked one fellow if he ever commit
ted an armed robbery. He was si
lent for a few seconds and finally
said no. He was thinking about the
unarmed robbery he had pulled
off.”
Other clues people give, she said,
include “feigning deafness” to stall
for time, rubbing their noses to
show some sort of inner conflict,
closing their eyes to blot out un
pleasant memories and uncrossing
their legs just before telling a lie.
“If they uncross one leg and then
cross the other over the first, it’s
known as a doublecross, and that
means they’re about to come up
with a real whopper,” she said.
She said she’s learned so much
about body language a major pub
lisher has asked her to write a book
on the subject.
Miss Forrest began her career in
investigative work four years ago as
a department store detective and
says she “made more apprehensions
than they’d ever seen.”
Soon, she was security director
for a big clothing chain and helped
reduce theft losses by 80 per cent. A
few months ago she joined the
Greenburg Protection and Investi
gation Agency and her boss says
she’s already tripled business.
The female private eye attributes
her success to her love of people.
