(AP) — A teacher who wanted to show what life could be like under despotic rule staged a 27-hour mock lockup for students, including strip-searches and a meal of fish-head soup, but the exercise was attacked by parents as too harsh. The voluntary field trip over the Co lumbus Day weekend was intended to give juniors and seniors at Wheaton North High School a taste of criminal- justice systems, including — for volun teers — that of an imagined Third World country. school administrators to re-evaluate the program, arranged by American govern ment teacher David Oliphant, and report back by Nov. 14, board President James Carr said Wednesday. Many of the students and some parents praised the experience. But one parent said she hadn’t realized when she gave her son written permission to participate that he would be hog-tied and left alone in a room for 2.5 hours for refusing to eat fish-head soup. “This is not anything I would have signed a consent for,” said Connie Northrop at a school board meeting Monday. Her son was among the 34 students who participated in the mock 27-hour lockup at Wheaton College. “This is an outrage,” said another parent, Kay McKeen, whose teen-ager didn’t participate but whose concern prompted her to address the panel. “The intent of the program was to have the young people learn and gain an appreciation for our system of democ racy and our system of laws,” Carr said. “Also to give them somewhat of an understanding of what it would be like to be in prison other than perhaps in Du Page County. Example: a Third World situation,” he said. “I believe conceptually it’s a very good one (program), but we certainly can improve on our communication on some of the specifics” of what students were to be subjected to. Among those specifics were strip- searches, handcuffs, fish-head soup and chants of “you’re the scum of the earth’’ and “you’re dirty.” Other high school students have gone through it, and it has been the topic of feature stories in the Chicago Tribune and the Chronicle of Higher Education. School Superintendent Richard Short said of Oliphant. whom he and Carr both described as an outstanding teacher. “The objectives that he had were all sat isfied. My concern, and that of the par ents, was that he went beyond experi ences reasonable for high school students. Particularly when the parents were not fully aware of what was going to happen.” But student most ununimons who participatedweiej tkr.j r prake “I’m shaking.

But FAA and industry officials said the cracks, discovered by Continental workers on Oct. 5 while the plane was being repainted, may have been caused by the improper patching of the plane more than two years ago and not by stress from aging.

Continental absorbed Frontier in 1986. this week, probably Friday. FAA spokesman Bob Buckhorn said. The inspections, aimed at older Boe ing 737s with 40,000 or more landings, are not likely to interfere with normal op erations because the FAA will allow the checks to be conducted during routine maintenance. Some air carriers with older 737s likely already have begun the inspections in anticipation of the order, officials said. It was not clear how many 737s would be subject to the inspection order. According to the Boeing Co., about 225 of the twin-engine jets have had close to 40,000 landings, although some of those probably are foreign-owned. The Aloha plane had more than 89,000 landings. Indian Airlines Flight 131. was flying from Bombay with 129 passengers and six crewmembers when it crashed at 7:40 a.m. on its final approach to Ahmadabad airport, about 500 miles southwest of New Delhi. Federal Aviation Minister Shiv Raj Patil said the death toll of 130 was the worst in the carrier’s 26-ycar history. It was the airline’s 16th major acci dent.

A flight attendant was swept to her death, but the plane landed safely. The new FAA-directed inspections have been under review for months, but were ordered sped up after the discovery of the crack on the Continetnal plane. The order is expected to be issued later According to the Air Transport Asso ciation, 570 Boeing 737s were being op erated by U.S. airlines at the end of 1987, but many are newer models that likely would not be subject to the surveillance. The planes are widely used by Continen tal, United Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Piedmont Airlines, USAir and South west Airlines. Under the order, airlines must conduct the inspections in some cases, within 500 landings or when the plane reached a to tal of 40,000 landings and use sophisti cated electronic equipment to detect small cracks in some areas of the air craft.

Supporters called the bill a victory for America’s children, but the administra tion has labeled it inappropriate, ill-ad vised and inimical to the spirit of the First Amendment, which guarantees free speech. The Justice Department has rec ommended that Reagan veto the bill on constitutional grounds. limits abandoned by the Federal Com munications Commission four years ago. The FCC had said commercials would be best regulated by the open marketplace. FCC Chairman Dennis Patrick said the measure was both unnecessary and ill- advised, particularly because the FCC has been considering taking action re lated to the commercialization of chil dren’s television. The Senate approved the bill on a voice vote. The House had passed it June 8 on a vote of 328-78. Rep. Edward J. Markey, D-Mass., a co-author of the measure, said the bill is the most important congressional statement on children’s television in a generation. He said it would challenge broadcasters to educate children crea tively rather than to exploit children commercially. The bill would reimpose advertising Children’s TV advocates who pressed for the bill said the FCC’s philosophy of deregulation was harming children. They said since 1984, stations have increased advertising during children’s shows and the quality of children’s programming has deteriorated as toy manufacturers have become heavily involved in devel oping shows based on their products. The bill would limit commercials in children's programs to lO’/z minutes per hour on weekends and 12 minutes per hour on weekdays. Stations would have until Jan. 1, 1990, to comply with the advertising limits. The FCC would be authorized to modify the time standards after Jan. 1, 1993. GRAND RAPIDS. Mich.
