Interrupting Baine's questioning of Stergos, Judge Nangle said: "As a trial judge, I'm not interested in the philosophies of the parties involved." Earlier he said he expected one side or the other to appeal his decision to a higher court "Is this a proper exercise to ask a 14-year-old about her family life and then report them (the answers to written questions) in a newspaper?" Baine asked. Stergos replied that the names of the people interviewed had been changed to protect their identities and that the journalism students did not intend to ridicule anyone.

He said the topics runaways, teen-age marriage, teen-age pregnancy and the effects of divorce were "definitely of concern to other students at Hazelwood East" Stergos left the school district April 23 of last year for a job as creative supervisor at Maritz Inc. His replacement as journalism instructor, Howard Emerson, then had to deal with the controversial issue that was By William C.

That is the "threshold question," said Chief U.S. District Judge John F. Nangle in the second day of a trial over a suit by three former students who contend their First Amendment rights were violated by the deletion of four articles in May of last year.

Judge Nangle made the comment from the bench Tuesday during a clash between Robert P. Baine Jr attorney for the Hazelwood School Board, and Robert Stergos, the former journalism teacher involved with the newspaper. In his opening remarks and by his questioning, Baine contended that The Spectrum was a classroom laboratory exercise and therefore exempt from the First Amendment's guarantees of free speech. Stergos testified that he believed The Spectrum was a newspaper for students, about students, and written JEFFERSON CITY (AP) Despite being heavily criticized by supporters of Proposition during the 1 election campaign, John D. Ashcroft said Tuesday that some of the provisions from the utility rate control measure were being considered for inclusion in his first legislative package.

The measure was designed to limit the electric rate increases stemming "from construction costs at Union Electric nuclear power plant near Fulton in Callaway County, 'according to its supporters. But opponents said it contained provisions that would have forced the shutdown of the plant Missouri voters overwhelmingly defeated Proposition in the general election Nov. 6. In an interview Tuesday, Ashcroft said that although he had opposed the measure, he believed some of its provisions were worthwhile. And Ashcroft said he might include "what we consider to be the constructive aspects of Proposition among the proposals he will submit to next year's session of the Legislature.

The attorney general also said the possibility of a refund under the state tax collection and spending lid approved by voters in 1980 was not one of his major concerns at this time because no refund would take place for several years. Ashcroft, who will take the oath of office as governor on Jan. 1 4, also said he hoped to continue getting advice from former governors, including Democrats Warren E. Heames and Joseph P. Teasdale, as well as outgoing Republican Christopher S.

Bond. During the campaign, supporters of Proposition said the measure was intended to hold down the rate increases resulting from the cost of building the Callaway nuclear plant. Utility officials have said the cost could reach 3 billion. But UE and other critics said a provision in the measure dealing with Teachers March In Protest Jurors' Questionnaire In Trial Of Mrs. Boyle Is Made Public jurors or to publish those names.

Judge O'Neill has scheduled a hearing for Dec. 7 to decide if the one motion still sealed should be opened. That motion was filed by State's Attorney Don W. Weber and has' drawn criticism from Mrs. Boyle's attorney, F.

Lee Bailey of Boston. A review of Bailey's 10-page questionnaire showed that it would ask the prospective jurors basically the same questions they would be asked when interveiwed during the jury selection process before trial. Among the questions are whether Bailey's presence as Mrs. Boyle's attorney makss the jurors believe that "she might be more guilty or have a more difficult case than the ordinary defendant." Mrs. Boyle is charged with murder in the shootings of her husband, Ronald Gusewelle, in 1979 and his parents, Arthur and Vernita, in 1977.

By Charles Bosworth Jr. Of the Post-Dispatch Staff A questionnaire that attorneys for Barbara Gusewelle Boyle want to send to prospective jurors for her murder trial was opened to the public Tuesday by Madison County Circuit Judge PJ. O'Neill. The judge acted on motions by the Post-Dispatch, the Edwardsville Intelligencer and the Alton Telegraph and reversed his earlier order sealing the motion. He ruled Tuesday that Mrs.

Boyle's attorneys had failed to prove that the public filing of the questionnaire would "substantially prejudice the defendant's right to a fair trial." But Judge O'Neill said that if he decided to send out the questionnaires, the forms would be sealed when returned.

Campaign To Ease traffic Congestion St Charles County's state legislators want to get their constituents out of a big jam the congestion caused by commuter traffic on Missouri Highway 94 and Interstate 70. They announced Tuesday a campaign to persuade the Missouri Highway and Transportation Department to extend Page Avenue westward across the Missouri River into St Charles County.

The announcement was made at a news conference at the Mark Twain Bank in Harvester. State Rep. Joseph R. Or-twerth, R-St Peters, called the Page Avenue extension the "only one true solution" to traffic problems. He said the Blanchette Memorial Bridge on 1-70 could no longer handle "the rising tide of motorists that besiege it every day." HOYLE JIGSAW PUZZLES 1020 PIECESI 99 CHOICE OF SUBJECTS EA.

CDC CI teachers about a month ago saying that they failed to use reasonable care to look out for the safety of 72 sixth-graders on a field trip to Meramec Caverns on May 18. Jamie Warren, 13, one of the pupils on that trip, drowned while wading in the Meramec River. The board's decision marked a departure from the disciplinary actions recommended for the teachers by Superintendent Jerome B. Jones. He recommended that only one of the five teachers, Mona Kozlen, be fired.

For the others, he recommended suspensions ranging from 15 to 60 days. But the teachers appealed his decision to the board. When asked if the board would reconsider its decision, board president John P. Mahoney responded, "Nothing can be ruled out." But he added that the board was in the middle of a legal process and that "it would not be appropriate to comment on the matter at this time." Bruce S.

Emerson testified that he differed in his approach to teaching journalism, in that he felt he was the boss in the classroom, not of the students. Principal Robert E. Reynolds ordered the four articles removed from the newspaper. Other witnesses Tuesday included Thomas Lawson, district superintendent; Robert Knight, journalism professor at the University of Missouri; and Martin Duggan, retired editorial editor of the St Louis Globe-Democrat Lawson said be supported Reynolds. Knight said it was his position that censorship was involved, that the students' press rights had been infringed upon; and that the stories met proper journalistic standards.

Duggan said in-house deletion of an article is merely editing, while censorship requires the actions of an outside agency such as a federal judge ordering a story not to run. He also testified that he thought the story on teen-age pregnancy should never have been written. Of Firing Of 5 for the teachers, said Tuesday that he would be filing an appeal in St. Louis Circuit Court and in St. Louis County Circuit Court either late today or early Thursday.

Because one of the teachers lives in St. Louis County, her appeal must be filed there, he said. Three of the five teachers attended part of the board meeting Tuesday. One of them, Janice Turley, said she believed that the firings "came down to a racial thing." The board "just couldn't fire Mrs. Kozlen without firing the other four," Mrs.

Turley said. Mrs. Kozlen is white; the four other teachers are black. "They couldn't accept a black man's recommendation to fire a white lady and not us," she added. She was referring to Jones' recommendation to fire only Mrs.

Kozlen. Jones is black. Mrs. Turley voiced some disappointment with the teachers union for its decision not to picket before Tuesday, a month after the firings. E.

St. Louis Honors No. 1 Football Team By H.J. Jackson Of the Post-Dispatch Staff This year's Class 6A state football champions, the East St. Louis Flyers, were surrounded by green Tuesday but from somewhere other than football turf.

Coaches and families of team members got a total of $4,800 from the East St. Louis township supervisor's office as the city honored its most recent heroes. In addition, the School Board gave each of the players and coaches blue sport coats with the school's insignia. "We can't do anything for the players, but we can give these parents anything," said Township Supervisor Clyde C. Jordan.

He is also the president of the School Board. "These parents need it. They've been struggling, keeping their kids in school." The players and coaches were honored at an assembly in the school gym attended by more than 2,000 students and teachers. On Friday, the team defeated Downers Grove South for the Flyers' second consecutive 6A state championship and 26th straight victory. The crowd stood and the players, hugged and slapped hands when Jordan announced that the township would award $100 to the parents of each of the 40 players who made the trip to the championship game in Evanston, 111.

Jordan said he was using a lesson he learned when honoring Olympic champions Al and Jackie Joyner this year. Giving gifts to the parents lets the players maintain their amateur standing, he said. He also gave $500 to coach Bob Shannon for himself and his assistant coaches, $200 to the cheerleaders' supervisor, Bernice Wilson, and $100 to athletic director Walter Hood. DRIVING GLOVES.

CUUH WIST COUNTY A if 4 I V. i BOYD'S Tvad By Ellen Futterman Of the Post-Dispatch Staff More than 60 teachers quietly marched in what they called a "Symbolic protest" Tuesday night while the president of the St. Louis schools teachers union urged School Board members to reconsider their recent action of firing five teachers at Clinton Middle School. "Something very terrible happened when you, the board, in your deliberation that should have been fair and reasonable, adopted the posture, 'Let's fire them all," said Evelyn Battle White, president of the St. Louis Teachers Union Local 420.

"These teachers have been caught up in some type of political schemes that are not of their making nor controlled by them." Mrs. White presented the board with what she said were more than 2,000 signatures of petitioners who are requesting that the board reconsider the matter and reinstate the teachers.
