Senate Bill 20, sponsored by State Sen. Craig Washington, D-Houston, was proposed last week and is being studied by the Texas Senate Educa tion Committee. Corrigan openly has opposed cor poral punishment since the begin ning of his teaching career. Corrigan said that corporal punishment is un professional. “The reason it is an unprofessio nal act is that there’s no knowledge base to support it,” he said. “There’s no college of education that teaches you how to do it. If this college taught people how to beat children, we wouldn’t get accredited. “Second, we’re the only group that wants to call ourselves a profes sion and beat our clients. The two things are antithetical. You can’t be a professional and do that. Can you imagine pediatricians beating chil dren?” The definition of corporal pun ishment often is misunderstood by those who support it, Corrigan said. Legally, corporal punishment is de fined as “the administration of phys ical pain as punishment.” It does not include acting in self-defense, pre venting harm to other students or procuring a weapon from a student. These three circumstances are men tioned in the bill, however, to pre vent confusion. Local school officials generally are opposed to corporal punishment, but don’t necessarily agree about the proposed legislation. Guy Gorden, superintendent of the Bryan Independent School Dis trict, supports the bill. “I do not think corporal punish ment is necessary to maintain disci pline in the school,” Gorden said. Corporal punishment is used sel dom in the Bryan school district. When it is used, however, it is usually at the request of a parent and is administered by the principal with witnesses present. Ray Chancellor, superintendent of the College Station Independent School District, is more hesitant about supporting the bill. He said that while College Station schools of fer alternatives to corporal punish ment such as a “time-out” room, two types of detention (one with individ ual teachers and the other in group detention hall), in-school suspension and regular suspension, many other school districts do not have these al ternatives. College Station schools use cor poral punishment only as a last re sort before expulsion. Chancellor said that if corporal punishment is abolished, one step in the “hierarchy of disciplinary measures” would be eliminated. “Some of these kids would move to expulsion right off the bat,” he said. “From that standpoint, the bill bothers me. It’s most important that the child stays in school.” Dr. John Morris, a professor in Educational Curriculum and In struction, who teaches a classroom management course, said his stu dents are opposed to the bill. “In my classes last week, we voted and the future teachers would not support a bill to abolish corporal punishment,” Morris said. Julie Breihan, ajunior elementary education major from Dallas, said her professors emphasize the futility of corporal punishment. “Most of the time, teachers tell us that the statistics say that it stops the behavior, but doesn’t actually correct it,” she said. Eleven states have outlawed cor poral punishment and, in 1972, the National Education Association voted to abolish it. Corporal punish ment is banned in the Soviet Union, Poland, Holland, France, Finland and Sweden. Corrigan said the only place in which children have no civil rights is a school that administers corporal punishment. “I would like to see the day when we take away someone’s license if they do this,” Corrigan said. “This is so alien to the kind of human race we want to create.” Local mayors name March 4 B-CS ‘Help the Hungry Day’ By Holly Beeson REPORTER Mayors Larry Ringer and Marvin Tate signed a proclamation naming March 4 as “Help the Hungry Day” in Bryan-College Station. At last night’s College Station City Council meeting, Ringer urged all citizens to lend a hand in fighting hunger to make the community a better place to live. Ringer also praised the Brazos Food Bank, which was established in 1985 as a non-profit organization and helps feed between 350 to 400 families each month. “They are dedicated to addressing the needs of hungry people in Bra zos County,” Ringer said, “and for all the work they do, they should be saluted.” The Brazos Food Bank and KBTX-TV Channel 3 are sponsor ing a food drive for March 4 with the slogan, “One hundred thousand pounds of food; 100,000 people.” The locations designated as pick up points for the food drive are Post Oak Mall, Manor East Mall and Safe way on Highway 21. Brazos Food Bank representatives said several Texas A&M organiza tions are gathering food for “Help the Hungry Day.” In other actions, the city council approved a $500,000 grant for the College Station Parks and Wildlife Department to build phase 1 of the Wolf Pen Creek project.
