essential quldiered in a rural field several
Mies from an all-black skating
■rty attended by nearly 1,000
Mople, but authorities reported
clashes or trouble.

look at the field of study he or
she has chosen, to offer training
in some of the basic techniques
of that field and to offer the
opportunity to work on a related
project.
Texas A&M professors and
graduate students will serve as
instructors for the five fields of
study.
“These kids generally show a
great deal of independence, a
high curiosity level and a prop
ensity for investigating the com
plex and the difficult,” Nash
said. “You find a lot more high-
level discussions going on in the
lobby of the dorm than you
would among average kids and
there are a lot of spontaneous
debates and chess tourna-
But for many of the children,
the camp will be the first time
they have been really challenged
intellectually, he said.
“A lot of bright kids in some
school settings aren’t really chal
lenged and breeze through
making the highest grades with
little effort,” Nash said. “Then
they receive scholarships to out
standing universities and are
forced to compete and some of
them don’t handle it very well
and even flunk out.”
Nash, who is currently the
second vice president for the
National Association for Gifted
Children (NAGC), will become
president in 1985.
“I feel that we can serve as a
model for other universities to
develop similar programs,” he
said. “Universities have tremen
dous resources that generally
are not as tied up during the
summer and a summer camp of
this kind provides an excellent
opportunity for those facilities
to be put to use.”
KK to enter politics,
ecruit schoolchildren
men and through front groups
we form,” Wilkinson said Satur
day. “We have come to the con
clusion the time is ripe for us to
enter political activity in the
states.”
Klan-backed candidates in
several states have not won elec
tion, but have raised a few eyeb
rows with the number of votes
they received, Wilkinson said.
Klansmen believe a candidate
they back will be elected soon.
“We are gaining expertise in
the political arena that we need
to eventually field a candidate
that will win,” he said.
“The political climate is in our
favor at this time and w e certain
ly intend to capitalize on it.”
The klan, which has grown in
nationwide membership each
month since March 1978, also
will concentrate on bolstering its
youth corps, Wilkinson said. He
declined to reveal the number of
members in the corps, which in
cludes 10- to 17-year-olds.
“We will go straight to schools
and pass out literature in schools
where officials have tried to
work against us,” the klan leader
said.
Wilkinson said he was not
aware the black skating party
was occurring only miles from
the klan rally Saturday night.
But he said residents of south
east Louisiana would not disturb
a KKK meeting.
“The klan is strong here and
the vast majority of people are
behind the klan,” he said. “No
one would have the audacity or
the courage to give us any trou
ble on our own property.
“We certainly don’t go look
ing for trouble, but this is our
property and we certainly would
prevent any other race from
coming on our property.”
Baker is about 15 miles north
of Baton Rouge and 20 miles
west of Denham Springs, head
quarters of the Invisible Empire
Knights of the KKK.
yk San Antonio police chief
denies force has low morale
IP
United Press International
SAN ANTONIO — Manage-
lent consulting firm Arthur
oung & Co. has released its
udyol San Antonio’s police de-
rtment but Chief of Police
lobert Heuckdisagrees with the
150,000 management study
lowing 60 percent of city offic-
s believe morale is bad.
While the report states,
laiiy officers do not believe
ie city places high regard on
icir services and thus they per-
nm accordingly,” Heuck
ilaims that is “just disgruntled
Ik."
The chief said: “We have a 6
percent turnover rate and many
of those that leave come back to
their old jobs. Why would they
othat if it were so crummy?”
Heuck did say he was not sur-
irised by other parts of the
tudy that found his department
s inefficient and ineffective,
md spends too much time in
offee shops.
The report said the depart-
nent is understaffed, suffers
irom morale problems, has in-
fficient management and
laims to arrest more people
han it actually does.
The study also says managers
ow their patrol officers to
spend too much time in coffee
shops.
The report said: “Present
management systems are not
working, resulting in poor allo
cations of resources and ineffec
tive and inefficient use of those
resources.”
The study said the patrol divi
sion, with 469 officers, needs 90
more people. Officers take an
average of 47 minutes to re
spond to a call, the report said.
To solve the problems, the
study suggested increasing the
force from 1,200 to 1,269 offic
ers and starting a recruitment
drive to fill 100 vacancies in the
department.
