WHEATON, Ill. (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.”

WASHINGTON (AP) —The Federal
Aviation Administration said Wednes
day it was speeding up an order for more
thorough inspections of aging Boeing
737 jetliners after a row of cracks, in
cluding one a foot long, was found on a
Continental Airlines plane.
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.

Federal authorities are asking Conti
nental for records of the repair work,
which apparently took place when the
plane was operated by now-defunct
Frontier Airlines, to determine whether
the 50-square-inch patch had been at
tached properly.
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.

The older Boeing 737s have been the
focus of attention since last April, when
a 20-foot section of the roof of an Aloha
Airlines plane tore away at 24,000 feet.
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.

WASHINGTON (AP) —The Senate
sent a bill to President Reagan on
Wednesday reimposing time limits on
advertising during children’s shows and
requiring stations to provide informative
programming for children, but there
were signs that Reagan may veto the
measure.
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. (AP)
A district court judge was shot and
killed Wednesday in her chambers by
her estranged husband, an off-duty
police officer, who fired at other offi

District Judge Carol Irons, 40, the
county’s first female judge, was pro

personal matters. Grand Rapids Po

“Judge Irons came out of

‘Please, help me,”’ Hegarty said

and fired at least two or three m®
shots.
Ratliff then exchanged gunfe
