Police shrink catches killers
United Press International
PHOENIX — As escaped
killers Gary Tison and Randy
Greenawalt spread terror
throughout Arizona during a
crime spree a year ago, law offi
cers turned to Bernard Barber
for help in tracking them down.
For Barber, it was just another
task in his work as a police psy
chologist, a field he helped
pioneer.
“During the time they were
loose we were called in to use
hypnosis on two witnesses,”
Barber said as he recalled his
work on the Tison case.
“We also did some profiles on
what we could anticipate about
their activities. We got as much
material as we could and tried to
draw up some kind of profile. In
fact, we suggested that they
probably would return to the
area they were familiar with and
that’s exactly where we caught
them.”
Work on such criminal cases is
just one facet of Barber’s job as a
psychologist for the state De
partment of Public Safety. His
probable title, Barber said,
would be a “clinical social police
criminal psychologist.”
His work deals with such
wide-ranging matters as hostage
situations, marital counseling,
evaluations of new recruits, job
stress, research and consulta
tions with local law enforcement
Some of Barber’s clients are
DPS employees referred by their
superiors because of departmen
tal violations that may require
discipline. In those cases, Barber
makes reports to the proper DPS
authorities. In all other cases,
however, the clients receive the
same “privilege and confidential”
rights that would be accorded a
patient seeing a private psychol
ogist.
agencies.
Barber first touched on police
psychology work in 1954 when
he worked briefly with the Los
Angeles County sheriffs de
partment as a rehabilitation offi-
Stress is one of the problem
Barber deals with most, but the
cause of that stress surprisingly is
not the danger involved in police
work. It is caused by shift
changes, he said. The No. 2 rea
son for stress, he said, is “soci
ety’s expectation of the police
man to be above mortal.”

WASHINGTON — Sen. Max
Baucus, D-Mont., Wednesday
charged the General Services Ad
ministration virtually ignored its
own auditors findings of continuing
irregularities in the scandal-ridden
federal housekeeping agency.
“In only a few instances has there
been substantive, significant
follow-up to correct abuses, retrieve
federal overpayments and set up in
stitutional safeguards to prevent re
petition,” Baucus said.
Instead of following up on such
problems, he said, GSA officials are
“pursuing heinous crimes, such as
graffiti on GSA property and exple
tives uttered to GSA telephone
operators.”

Some people felt it was sick to get so emotionally involved with our
pens. But is it really so crazy to love a Pilot Razor Point pen that writes with
a sharp smooth line and costs a mere 79C? Is it nuts to flip over its unique
little metal collar that smartly helps to keep its point from going squish?
If it is crazy, it's going to surprise a whole lot of people. In fact, we
understand that Riot Razor Point even has what It takes to score extra

ANOTHER LIFE
CHANGED
v
i
Like most students, my goal
was to get ahead — be successful,
secure, and fulfilled. Since most
prestigious occupations require a
degree, I saw my college educa
tion as a major step in the fulfill
ment of my dream.
My first year was spent at
Southwest Texas State, but by the
second semester, I was really con
fused as to what I wanted to do. I
had decided to become a dentist
because the money was good —
but soon lost interest. I trans-
I could escape into my fantasy
world of girls and alcohol. As I
would sober up the following
morning, I remember reflecting
with disgust on the events of the
previous night. Had it really been
fun and satisfying? Was I really
fulfilled and happy? I knew all too
well the answer was no. I hated it.
I wanted so badly to have con
tentment and peace of mind but I
didn’t know where to turn.
Although I sought to portray an
image of having it “all together”, I

ferred to Sam Houston State that
next fall, but only two weeks into
the semester, I was involved in a
serious automobile accident that
nearly took my life. Many
thoughts raced through my mind
as I spent the next days and weeks
motionless on my hospital bed.
The body I had taken so much
pride in and worked so hard to
develop was now a mass of cuts
and scars. What would people
think of me now? I wanted to die
— but was afraid to.
By the spring of ’77 I was able
to go back to school and I entered
Texas A&M as a mechanical engi
neering major.
I knew I had to make it this
time or be considered a failure. I
threw myself into the program,
but the reality of life and the in
tensity of my own personal prob
lems continued to frustrate me. I
didn’t particularly like people and
couldn’t seem to get along with
hardly anyone. My uncontrolla
ble temper drew me into numer
ous arguments and fights — one
which sent my roommate to the
health center with his eye swollen
shut. As my grades continued to
go down, I began to live for
Thursday nights and weekends so
couldn;t escape the constant nag
ging feeling that there had to be
more to life. I had always gone to
church and said my prayers. I cer
tainly wasn’t an atheist! I believed
in God and even considered my
self a Christian. But for some rea
son, the dull ache of emptiness
wouldn’t leave me.
Then something happened.
Some guys came by my room one
night and asked me if I’d be in
terested in participating in an in
formal study of what the Bible
had to say on some key issues.
Although I thought I already
“knew it all” and that the Bible
wasn’t necessarily relevent to me
as a student, I agreed. Much to
my surprise, I discovered that the
so-called “Christians” leading the
study were not just a bunch of
hypocritical, stuffy “chur
chgoers”. Instead, they were
ones who exhibited a genuine
peace, love, joy and contentment
in their lives that I knew I lacked
yet desperately desired.
As the study continued, it be
came evident that the main dif
ference between them and me
was that they had a vital personal
relationship with Jesus Christ —
and I didn’t. Sure, I wanted Him
around in emergency situations!
but other than that, I wanted!®
