I 4, IMtLiM4fitL ilMLMwJclJ w'Si Diaz, holding up the shirt Tbe shirt and the other items that were destroyed were owned by the participating teen-agers. Over the next 30 minutes the group burned about 30 album covers and about 70 cassette tape covers, as well as seven books, an astrological magazine, and a subscription form for a record club. The books all were paperbacks; several were children's books dealing with themes of magic and witches, and another was a guide for the astrological sign Gemini. "The Bible gives us our format," said Diaz, who cites specific Bible passages to bolster his points.

"Everything rock represents is the opposite of that format" Diaz said that the instigation for the burning came after he and his wife, attended a seminar last week at the First Assembly of God Church in Des Moines that stressed the influence of Satan and devil worship in rock music. Premarital sex, homosexuality, and immorality also are encouraged by rock musicians, Diaz said. "There are occult symbols and signs on album covers that you wouldn't take a second look at unless you knew what they were," said Diaz, who plans to study for the ministry. Now, however, he works full-time fTo fish or to flush? they aren't biting these days on tbe front lawn of the Wit-lenburg farm east of Clarksville.

What's he using for bait? The pages of the classic novel "Frankenstein" by Mary Shelley lay curling in the heat of the small but intense fire, sending smoke and the odor of burning paper into the night wind. "Praise God!" said Art Diaz as he threw the cover of the record album "Woodstock" onto the fire, minus its vinyl contents. Across the fire from Diaz, several teen-agers stood breaking records over their knees; others were busy tearing the plastic tape out of cassette tapes. The fire was the rallying point Thursday night of an Ankeny church's youth group protest against "satanic influences" present in rock music and in some literature. "Young people are making a stand by burning rock music, and saying they don't want it," said Art Diaz, 25, youth group director of Ankeny's First Assembly of God Church, as he watched the fire that was set on church grounds adjacent to the parking lot.

"This is something the world should know." Diaz and about 20 youths, ranging in age from their early teens to early twenties, began Thursday night's protest by dumping out a box filled with rock 'n' roll albums, cassette tapes, several books and magazines, and several T-shirts. Diaz formed the group in a circle around the fire, and they held hands and bowed their heads as he prayed aloud in the 47-degree night air. "Remember, we're not doing this to get attention, because nobody wants to burn hundreds of dollars of stuff," Diaz told the group. "We want to stand up and make a point." The first items thrown on the fire were several T-shirts, beginning with one captioned "Go to hell, world, I'm a senior." "This is not something a Christian would want to wear," pointed out WITH YOUR required to find llnmate at keep it still in its infancy," said Kilman. "We are asking these communities to take risks, so we need to improve our capability of predicting those risks." Kilman said that while the community programs have a good batting average, there is still much room left for improvement.

"We know these programs are certainly an economical alternative to prison," he said. "We have just got to keep in mind that the institution has to be the last alternative in any correction program."

A wooden peace symbol, a relic from the 1960s, also was thrown into the fire. Diaz said the peace symbol "is 1 actually a broken cross; it's inverted and upside down." One teen-age girl who participated in the burning said she used to listen to disco music but doesn't now that she is a Christian. "I probably would have bought all this kind of music if I would have had the money," she said, gesturing toward the burning album covers. "I guess God was just protecting me. I listen to Christian rock now." Not all of the regular members of the church youth group approved of the burning, Diaz said, and not all attended.

"They're not fully grown, into the Lord," he explained. are still things of the world they place before God." Not all of the general public" probably would approve of the burning either, he said. "I imagine, they'd shy away from something like this," Diaz said. "But if that seminar we went to was on TV, it would scare people who aren't Christians into not letting their kids see this kind of thing." siiVii I (11 THIS YEAR SEE EVERY GAME VIDEO RECORDER If you ore away record the game, and watch it later.

Increases State records indicate that almost all programs within the community bureau had continuous increases in the number of people assigned. Pretrial programs were up 27 percent, with 2,500 lawbreakers assigned in July last year compared to 3,178 this June. A comparison for the same two months of those on probation showed a 16 percent increase, and a 20 percent rise was reported by the state's 17 residential facilities. A thorn in the side of the community programs has been the public's unwillingness to outwardly support having lawbreakers serve their sentences in situations that permit them to hold jobs and live in the communities. "People get distressed when they hear someone has been assigned to a community progam," Keiser said.

"They think those criminals are getting by with a slap on the hand, but the rehabilitation of these people is so much more effective if it goes on in the community instead of behind prison walls. Kilman said people are more Inclined to only tolerate, rather than accept, the community programs. "But much of the blame lies on our shoulders for not better educating the public on what we are doing and not being a little more vocal about our high success rate," Kilman said. Anyone assigned to the community programs is required to find a job that pays a livable wage and to keep the job. "If someone refuses to hold a job, keeps getting into trouble or breaks our rules, then they are shoved into prison," said Gardner.

Self -Supporting Because of those strict rules, Farrier said most "inmates" of the programs support themselves and their familes, which keeps them off welfare and other tax-supported programs. A program being tested by corrections officials is designed to help them determine the risks present in sending inmates back into the community.
