SCORE Starts Feb.3 SCORE, an alternative education program, has been introduced to

ihe Schreiber scene. In a special homeroom period on Thursday, January 16, brochures describing the program were distributed to all Schreiber students, and Dr. Killeen delivered some brief in-troductory remarks about the program.

The SCORE program will involve interdisciplinary teaching of the English-social studies field, combined with a "work-service experience'-some sort of volunteer or paying job to be pursued either in school or in the larger Port Washington community. The program will begin on a pilot basis with a maximum of 40 students on February 3. If successful, SCORE will be expanded to accommodate approximately 100 students next year. As of Friday afternoon at 3:05, some 27 students had expressed a definite interest m the program.

THE SCORE program was developed by Mr. Begun, Mr. Cahill. and Mrs. El-Kadi, and first formally presented to the school ad-ministration as a written proposal in September 1974.

As originally conceived, SCORE was to have provided a scholastic aliemaiive for those students who have been having difficulty in Schreiber's modular program. The SCORE proposal was presented to the faculty in a series of meetings that stretched from October through November 1974. Considerable concern was expressed at those meetings that there would be a stigma attached to membership in SCORE, because its students would be only those who were un-successful in the regular Schreiber program. As a result, the program was modified so that it is open to all Schreiber students.

NCTE Contest To Be Held

The preparations for the contest for this year 's National Council of Teachers of English Awards began this month at Schreiber. The contest, designed to recognize those students with superior writing ability, involves the selecting of 876 high school juniors from thousands of high schools throughout the country to receive the awards. These students are chosen from candidates named by Ihe different high schools, and Schreiber High School can nominate four such candidates to compete for the awards this year.

In order to select Schreiber's nominees, the English Department has established a preliminary contest in which all juniors who will graduate in 1976 are invited to participate. The competing students will beasked to subnit a sample of their work which they feel is their besi effort and to write an impromptu theme on a topic chosen by the English teachers. So as to maintain secrecy and impartiality, all students will be given numbers with which they will label their work, and the list with the corresponding names and numbers will not be viewed until the four nominees have been selected. The committee judging the students'work will be comprised of English teachers Mr. Bocarde, Mr. Broza, Mr. Hamburger, Mrs. Lawrence, Mrs. McKenzie. and Mrs. Null. This contest will be held in the English office on Tuesday, February 11 at 9:50,

When the four students are selected, their names will be sent to the NCTE, where they will ihen be asked to send additional writing samples. The Coiuicil will announce ail winners of these Achievement Awards in October of this year. Because it is a non-profit organization, the NCTE does not award cash prizes, but it does send Ihe names and addresses of the winners to 3000 colleges, universities, and junior colleges in the United States, With this is sent a letter recommending the NCTE winners for admission and scholarships, where ihey are needed.

Suspension Committee Presents

Recommendations In the past week, the Faculty-Student Committee on Suspensions has

presented its preHminary set of recommendations and conclusions to Dr. Killeen. In the report, the Committee deals with disciplinary practices and suspension.

The Committee states in the report, "Suspension should not be considered a solution, but rather an admission of defeat, and thus should only be used as a last resort." As an alternative, the members suggest that efforts for correction should be made through counseling and parental meetings with a school official.

Under New York State law, minors may be suspended for insubord ina te or d i sorder ly behavior, for conduct or con-dition that endangers himself or others, or for being disabled to the point that he cannot benefit from instruction. According to the Committee, clarification of the t e r m s "insubordinate and disorderly" is necessary to avoid arbitrary suspensions. It also reports thai suspension for these charges should only be used if smaller at tempts for correction have tieen unsuccessful and after a student has been advised that the continuation of his actions will resiilt in suspension.

The Committee points out that if suspension is utilized when a problem may be corrected by "more constructive means," it may have negative effects on a student. It cited that in a 1973 cour t c a se in Ohio, two psychologis ts testified that suspension injures a student's self-esteem and may cause the sludent to view school officials and teachers with mistrust and r e s e n t m e n t The two psychologists also stated that the student learns to step aside as a solution to problems and the student is viewed by school of-ficials and o thers as a troublemaker. The Suspension Committee affirms that each ca se should be weighed in-dividually to determine whether a suspension would be more detrimental to ' a student than pe rmi t t i ng him to s t ay in school,In reaction to the above. Dr. Killeen states, "1 seriously question whether a sample of school psychologists would verify the effects listed by the two Ohio Psychologists."

According to the New York State Education Department. "A teacher, guidance counselor or

a s s i s t an t pr incipal may not suspend a student. The principal may suspend a student for a period not to exceed five school days if the board of education has adopted a by law which permits him to do so." In 1972, the com-missioner of Education rein-stated a Hempstead student who had been suspended by the assistant principal. Even though the student involved assaulted a teacher (an offence that ob-viously merits suspension), the decision for suspension was immediately reversed because N.Y. S t a t e Educat ion Law clearly states that it is a violation of due process for an assistant principal (o suspend a student.

There is no provision in the New York State Education Law for expulsion of a student from school. I If the school officials wish to suspend a student for beyond five days, a hearing must be conducted at which the student has the right to present witnesses and be represented by lawyers,) The State Education Department bo(*let. Guidelines for Student Rights and Responsibi l i t ies , states. "A student who has been suspended prior to a hearing must be placed back in school or provided with suitable alter-native instruction commencing with the sixth school day if the hearing has not tieen concluded or the superintendent or board of education has not rendered a decision as of that date ,"

Dr Goutevenier. a member of The Suspension Commit tee , notes, 'I feel very upset and frustrated over the fact that students are being dropped from the school for reasons of ex-ceptionally poor attendance. Thsi is a matter which the Board of Education alone has a right to determine. Board Policy clearly states that the principal may

not ad-

in He

only r e c o m m e n d to the superintendent that a student be dropped He may not drop students, as is being done now. Once again we have a clear violation of due process under law, which brings us back to where we started in September." When Dr. Goutevenier speaks about students being dropped, his definition of " d r o p p e d ' is essen t ia l ly different from meaning of the administration.

The Committee's report also specif ies that " t h e gu idance department should be contacted by the principal or assistant principal prior to the suspen-sion." In his reaction statement. Dr. Killeen disagrees with this point because he feels that the guidance operation should become involved with the min i s t r a t i on ' s work d i sc ip l ina ry m e a s u r e s , believes tha t s tudents would become suspicious and con-temptuous of their counselors if they bel ived that counselors contributed information that led to suspens ion . Dr. Killeen suggests that counselors discuss the suspended s tuden t ' s problems after administrative action is taken and meet with the student on a follow-up basis.

The Committee concludes that it hopes that the report will clarify any confusing and dubious aspects of the siispension policy so that the policy "will reflect the highes spirit of the law and our educa t iona l phi losophy." Dr. Killeen states that he agrees that due process should be included in Ihe disciplinary process (as is required by lawl. The Committee will meet with Mr. Daiker. the Board of Education's lawyer, to discuss and interpret the Board's policy and New York State Educa t ion Law concern ing suspension.

ope ra t i on i n F o r i Wash ing ton . Th is p r o g r a m , d i r e c t ed by M r s . . \aomi Beck ley , has been very successful and has rece ived w ide scale suppor t f r o m m a n y educat i ona l and c o m m u n i t y leaders. The p r o g r a m preaches t h a t a hea l thy body makes a hea l thy m i n d . \ present . Ihe p r o g r a m is a l l vo lunteer and comple t e l y independent of the school d i s t r i c t . I I is open to a l l P o r t youths and is free of charge (except a s m a l l fee to cover insurance cos ts ) . However , the resources of th i s p r o g r a m are l i m i t e d , and i i can only du so m u c h . The t i m e has come for the school d i s t r i c t , and p a r t i c u l a r l y Schre iber , to take a more ac t i ve ro l e . We igh t t r a i n i n g not on ly serves to coord inate and s t r eng then the body ' s muscles, but has man> Ih e rapu t i c uses. \ good we i gh t t r a i n i n g p r o g r a m needs a U n i v e r s a l G y m . a piece of equ ipment , and the t i m e has come for the schoo l d i s t r i c t to m a k e the necessary a r rangemen t s to ob ta in a U n i v e r s a l G y m . wh i ch could p r o b a b l y be used j o in t l y by Schre iber and Weber .

The cost of the f a c i l i t y is subs tan t i a l , over 120(HI. However , there are may options open to ob ta in the money. The money could be a l l oca ted f r o m the e x i s t i n g Phys i ca l E d u c a t i o n D e p a r t m e n t budget of e i t h e r Weber o r Schre iber , or bo th , Sousa J r . H i gh School has its own Un i v e r sa l . I t was able to purchase i t out of i t s own ex i s t ing budget. I f the Phys i ca l Educa t i on Depa r tmen t s are not w i l l i n g to m a k e this c o m m i t m e n t , m a n y parents of ch i l d r e n c u r r e n t l y enro l l ed i n M r s . Beck ley 's p r o g r a m have expressed desire tha t they wou ld be w i l l i n g to help de f ray the cost. With the n a s i ve Athlet ic Budget of this school d i s t r i c t , p lus the bond issue w h i c h is c u r r e n t l y f i nanc ing the new Weber G y m c o m p l e K . the funds can and should be found to purchase a L n i v e r s a l G y m .

Expe r i ence at Sousa and at o ther schools indicates t h a i a l n i v e r s a l is very popu la r w i t h students and wou ld be i n cont inuous use, Sousa offers spec ia l e lect ives i n this f i e ld and there are a lways more app l i cants than can be accepted. The f a c i l i t y cou ld be used by s c h o o l t eams for spec ia l m u s c l e de\e lopment ; courses could be g i v en i n Phys i ca l E d u c a t i o n dosses;nonathleticstiKlents could be exposed to we ight t r a i n i n g : andcertaln in jur i es could be a ided th rough the Ihe raput i c uses of the l n i v e r s a l . The l i s t of uses is surely \er\ long and the fac i l i ty wou ld de f in i t e l y not be unused.

Severa l Boa rd members , a th l e t i c a d m i n i s t r a t i v e , and c o m m u n i t y leaders have shown in te res t in the c u r r e n t w e i g h t - t r a i n i n g p r o g r a m and ha\e expressed in teres t i n l ook ing into purchas ing a L n i v e r s a l . The purchase wou ld r equ i r e no e x t r a a l l oca t i on of funds in the budget. I f the e f fort is made by the a d m i n i s t r a t i o n , a th l e t i c o f f ic ia ls and in teres ted c o m m u n i t y m e m b e r s , the money can be found. .A h igh s c h o o l of Schre iber ' s ca l i be r should have access to a L n i v e r s a l g y m . Now is the l i m e to m a k e the com-

m i t m e n t to w e i g h t - t r a i n i n g . I f ac t ion is not t a k e n , w e i g h t - t r a i n i n g w i l l p robab ly d ie in Po r t Wash ing ton , because M r s . Beck ley 's p r o g r a m cannot cont inue in its present vo lunteer s ta tus . \ U n i v e r s a l g j m is an inva luab l e piece of equ ipmen t wh i ch wou ld be used by many students , regardless of a th l e t i c a b i l i t y . The School B o a r d and a l l people invo l ved should move exped ient l y on this m a t t e r so t h a t come next f a l l . Schre iber has a l n i v e r s a l G y m .

L h e ^ Ten m e m b e r s of t h e P o r t Washington volleyball t e am w e r e declared ineligible lo play the last t h r e e g a m e s of the season af ter taking par t in a Nassau County-s p o n s i i r e d v o l l e y b a l l t o u r n a m e n t o v e r Q i r i s l i na s vacat ion. All but one of the varsi ty players were suspended as well a s t h r e e j u n i o r v a r s i t y p l a y e r s . T h e disqu..lifications left the Vikings with only eight (ilayers, of which only Lori M a r r o had been :i vars i ty m e m b e r . She was not suspended because she was a w a y dur ing the t ime the tourney was played.

Thi suspended vars i ty p layers were Robin Beil, Jody Coyle, Cindy Feg ley . DoroMiv Krause , B a r b a r a L igen , Kathy MecUock and Donna Minotti, and the suspended junior va rs i ty p layers w e r e Jenifer Brunola. Nancy J o y c e and Grace Taferi.er,

The dispute a rose from t h e t e a m memlx ; r s ' par t ic ipat ion in the fourth an-nual .Nassau County D e p a r t m e n t of P a r k s and Ik-creation volleyball t ou rnamen t for girls a g e 15 to 18. The rule that was violated is found in the New York Sta te Public High School Athletic Association 1974-75 Hand-book. Kule 13 la) under Kligibility Stan-

d a r d s r e a d s : '"No contes tan t m a y par-t icipate in non-school contests in basebal l , basketball , . . .volleyball , . .af ter the student has par t ic ipa ted in his first interschool contest in that sport in that season. This applies to all interschool competi t ion in the above-named s p o r t s . "

Rule 13 (bi es tabl ishes the penal ty for violation: "'A student compet ing in any sport listed in l a i above compet ing in any g a m e , mee t , tournament or a th le t ic contest (non-school.,.ed. note) in that s a m e sport loses eligibility in that sport from the date of such par t ic ipat ion for t h e r e m a i n d e r of that sport s ea son . " Thus the disqualified p layers r ema in eligible for other spor ts , such a s basketbal l or lac rosse .

This is the first y e a r in which women ' s spor t s have been complete ly under the j u r i s d i c t i o n of t h e N . Y . S . P . H . S . A . A . handbook. Up until th is season, eligibihty rules for women ' s spor t s h a v e been guided by the Section 8 (Nassau County) Women's I n t e r s c h o l a s t i c A t h l e t i c s H a n d b o o k . Eligibility Rule 7 in the 1973-74 edition of the Handbook c lear ly s t a t e s that vars i ty and junior vars i ty p layers a r e eligible for outside competi t ion, specifically n a m i n g

the County P a r k s and Recrea t ion tour-namen t , provided tha t the girls not use the school n a m e , coach or uniforms. As a result , m e m b e r s of the For t Washington team participa1ed--legaliy~in the last t h r e e County t o u r n a m e n t s , pr ior to this latest one.

When the Depa r tmen t of P a r k s and Recrea t ion organized the tou rnamen t , no notice was sent to Mr. Homeo, Schre ibe r ' s a th le t ic director . Word was sent to Ms. Hulse, the volleyball coach, and as a resul t , Schre iber ' s gir ls p l ayed -a long with some 110 other m e m b e r s of vars i ty and junior vars i ty l e a m s - i n the t o u r n a m e n t which was held December 26-29.

Upon r e l u m i n g lo school af ter the vacat ion on J a n u a r y 6, Ms. Hulse received word that a coach from ano ther school had been at the tou rnamen t , and was p repa r ing to p ro tes t if any of t h e g i r l s who had been the re played in any league g a m e s . The full s q u a d p i a y e d t h a t a f t e r n o o n a g a i n s t Uniondale, a s the re had not been enough t ime to p u r s u e the si tuat ion, but t h e next day Mr. Homeo and Ms. Hulse began ask ing quest ions. F i r s t they cal led the division volleyball c h a i r w o m a n , who was

"con tused" , in Mr. Romeo ' s words ; thei they cal led the Section 8 c h a i r w o m a n foi women ' s a th le t ics who was a lso "con^ lu sed" . Then they got in touch with th( Section 8 volleyball cha i rwoman , who wai "def in i t ive" about the ineligibility of the girls involved. However , it was dur ing thii conversa t ion tha t ImLh Mr. Komeo and Hulse d iscovered for the first t ime tha t th. rule for the w o m e n ' s a th le t ic p r o g r a m hi., switched from their own Section 8 ham. book to the S ta le handbook in 1974-7 According to t h e Section 8 volleybal cha i rwoman , a sheet had been sent ]> athlet ic d i rec tors resc inding the old ruli which had al lowed non-school play, but Mr Komeo says he never received tha t notici-and nei ther had the other a thlet ic director: he has spoken with.

At this point Mr. Romeo called .. r ep resen ta t ive of t h e D e p a r t m e n t of Park-and Recrea t ion who had organized Ihr tournment . a sk ing her why the ineligibili;i of vars i ty and junior va rs i ty p layers hso not been a d v e r t i s e d in t o u r n a m e n l i t e ra ture . i T h e County runs numerou;

Un-fortunately, ihe gap between t h e V i k i n g s a n d f i r s t - p l a c e F a r -mingdaJe is a lmos t a s l a rge a s tha t twtween Por t and the r e s t of the l eague , if not in record , in ta lent .

La t e in the third period Syosset closed the g a p , ending the q u a r t e r t rai l ing only 60-57, a s both the Por t offense and defense got a bit lazy. But in the fourth Rich Spann and Tom Brown c a m e out hi t t ing everyth ing in sight , and the Viking defense c l a m p e d down to seal the win.

Spann was the s t a r of the night, hi t t ing an amaz i ng 14 of 18 shots for 28 points , the highest in-dividual total in Division 1 this s e a s o n . His b a s e l i n e J u m p e r s e e m s to h a v e eyes that guide it through the cords unmoles ted by the r im . The 6-2 junior added 10 rebounds (6 off the offensive boards ) and 3 s tea l s in an all-star pe r fo rmance .

^ n n wasn't the only Viking thai was on fire, a s the team shot a whopping 54 percent from the floor. Tom Brown was relat ively cold (for h i m ) , but he still scored 21 points and led the team with 5 s tea ls . G u a r d s Don Meyers and Skip Amen showed a lot of hustle in playing well ai both ends of the cour t . Meyers canned 6 of 8 shots in scor ing 13 points and had 3 s tea l s . Amen had 4 s tea ls and 8 points in his role a s point g u a r d . Center Nip McKenna chipped in with 8 points and 6 rebounds .
