Did you know that weWe handled more drop-adds than the total number of students registered?” Time in jail for youth ‘justified’ United Press International ST. LOUIS — A judge Sunday defended his decision to put a 16- year-old boy in a jail cell to give him a taste of prison — even though the boy tried to hang himself. St. Louis Circuit Court Judge Mi chael J. Hart ordered Anthony Jack- son, who was in court to discuss a probation violation, to a holding cell Friday to give the youth a sample of life behind bars. Jackson tied his shoe laces around his neck and attached the laces to bars on the cell door in an apparent attempt to hang himself. Two St. Louis sheriffs deputies found Jack- son before the youth killed himself. He was taken to City Hospital where his condition Sunday re mained guarded. The boy had been sentenced to 15 years in prison but placed on five years probation April 27 after pleading guilty to a charge of first- degree assault for wounding an other youth with a firearm in August 1983. The judge Sunday said it is not uncommon to give a person a looR at life behind bars. “You never want anyone to take their own life, of course,” Hart said. “But it amounts to about one hour in that holdover (cell). It’s a common thing to run young people through a penitentiary so they can see the situ ation. Jackson’s probation required that he enter and remain in St. Louis’ pri vate Logis Academy and pay $10,000 in restitution to the shoot ing victim.

DANCE INSTRUCTORS NEEDED Mondale attacks Reagan's policies United Press International MINNEAPOLIS — Walter Mon dale said Sunday President Reagan has raised doubts whether he re spects the division between church and state and if his view is encour aged it “will corrupt our faith and di vide our nation.” Mondale, giving his regular weekly radio address before leaving for New York to kick-off his cam paign today blasted the Republican platform and condemned President Reagan’s statements connecting reli gion and politics. Mondale, who joins running mate Geraldine Ferraro today in New York to begin a coast-to-coast cam paign swing, played down the signif icance of polls showing him far be hind Reagan. Until Sunday, Mondale had care fully avoided directly criticizing Rea gan on the religion issue. He changed that policy Sunday shortly after attending his home church, Grace Trinity Presbyterian. “The Republicans in Dallas raised doubts whether they respect the wall our founders placed between gov ernment and religion,” Mondale said. “In America, our faith has al ways been intensely personal. It is between the individual and God, be tween families and their churches and synagogues, with no room for politics in between. “That f reedom has made America the most religious nation on earth. And no matter what they said in Dal las, government must not be per mitted to dictate the religious life of our people.” If that force is unleashed, it will corrupt our faith and divide our na tion. That future is not the Ameri can way.” Mondale said polls showing him far behind are too early to be signifi cant. He said polls are “all over the map.” A UPI survey showed Reagan ahead in 39 states with 412 electoral votes and Mondale ahead in three states and the District of Columbia with 26 electoral votes. Each state with a total of 100 electoral votes were rated toss-ups. If the Reagan margin should hold, Mondale could be trounced worse than Reagan beat Jimmy Car ter in 1980 when Reagan got 498 electorial votes and Carter 49. Mondale promised he and Fer raro will lay out detailed plans for what they would do in a new admin istration.
