Executive Editor FRANK WILLIAMS News Editor MARSHALL WYATT Advertising Director JC FREEMAN Circulation Manager Sun Apr 15 1973 Predicting Drug 'Weakness' His team has just racked up another national championship UCLA is Number One again and the players coached by John Wooden are indeed household names In America Stars like Goodrich Alcindor and in about 14 months a redhead named Walton Success attracts potential stars and most schools would be pleased to have the third-string from UCLA represent them in any league Yet this is not recruiting luck or alumni cash that has created a winning dynasty in Southern California Much of this staggering achievement belongs to Coach Wooden who could teach philosophy and religion as easily as basketball defense and in many circumstances does In the new book "They Call Me (Word $595) the forceful dedicated career of John Wooden is told with conviction by writer John Tobin For many Wooden will seem like the supreme Eagle Scout of the troop To others a rigid taskmaster who watches the length of sideburns and snaps his fingers when a player's socks start to droop For a few he will be an unbearable square who cannot start a home game without waving to his wife in the stands But the force and energy and faith of this dominant basketball personality is worth knowing and saluting His 15 rules that make up his "Pyramid of (self-control poise etc) would apply to those struggling in school or facing a crises in marriage His rules for basketball are really guidelines tor living on and off the court The further you get into this book you realize that Wooden has you trapped In his philosophy "It Is amazing how much can be accomplished If no one cares who gets the And his crew has other things on their minds besides who has high scorer In last night's game It Is downright refreshing to read: "One of my demand rules has to do with the way we leave our dressing room many building custodians across the country will tell you that UCLA leaves the shower and dressing room the cleanest of any team We pick up all the tape never throw soap on the shower floor for someone to slip on make sure all showers are turned off and all towels accounted for I believe it is a form of discipline that should be a way of life not to please some building custodian but as an expression of courtesy and politeness that each of us owes his fellow This seems to be a constant verity with Wooden the other guy your fellow man He reaches to the core of things with a timony and if they refuse to natural and frequent reference to his religious convictions and talk summarily Jail them tor his excitement over the Christian life But all is not success life is not just one grand winning streak stretching into the sunset When Wooden's team lost one year to Houston and another dose game to Notre Dame reporters asked the players what the big man had said in the closed locker room following the game Replied one towering center "He said hang your heads bellyache and walk with your head John Wooden's season runs all year and happily for many they are part of his great human team contempt of the Senate This Is not the normal way that

apathy and generally poor academic performance from middle grade school onward and the early smoking of cigarettes Personality traits on which drug users score low are: Conscientiousness dependability striving for recognition setting high goals persistency planfulness thoroughness efficiency mannerliness and agreeableness Two traits which do not predict future drug use or non-use are vigor and self-confidence There are marked personality differences between those students who have never used drugs and those who have while infrequent and frequent drug users tend to have similar personalities The students are self-rated They range from fourth-graders to high school seniors and represent a sample of a predominatly white middle-class high school population of 15000 in 33 public schools in the Greater Boston area They fill out questionnaires each year in which they rate themselves on traits of personality and behavior and identify their attitudes toward drugs and their use of drugs School records furnish histories of academic performance while a coding system guarantees confidentiality The Watergate Scenario mouthed Presidential aides The White House police and I suppose the Secret Service (there is some ambiguity here: the Secret Service is charged with protecting the President not his aides) could probably hold the building Although I am not holding my breath waiting

At least one study indicates that there is Junior high school students who get poor grades and flout school rules are significantly more likely to use drugs during their high school years than more studious and orderly classmates This is one of the findings of a continuing five-year study of Boston elementary junior and high school students being conducted by Dr Gene Smith of Massachusetts General Hospital under a grant from the National Institute of Mental Health The study is looking for answers in three areas: i (1) Why some students become regular drug users while others merely experiment with drugs briefly or ignore them (2) how personality traits and academic performance serve as predictors of involvement with or disinterest in drugs (3) what changes occur in attitudes personality and behavior after the initiation of drug use In findings to date the best indicator of subsequent use of illegal drugs is rebelliousness toward authorities and rules Obedient children are the least likely to become drug users The more rebellious a child the greater his subsequent use of drugs is apt to be ranging from infrequent marijuana smoking through frequent marijuana use to multiple experimentation with and use of depressants stimulants LSD and other hallucinogens and heroin Other reliable predictors of future drug use are classroom LM BOYD Hernia Is Commonest An Independent FBI?

discretion of political manipulators is clearly unthinkable But ought not to mean freedom from any check at all In the first place despite the mystique of totally professional independence surrounding

Second and most important the FBI simply represents too much power to be employed without rein The record shows Congress cannot watchdog it What is needed is some sort of permanent panel of highly-

mind of its own under the impatient tutelage of HV Kaltenbom Elmer Davis Ed Murrow Now we are engaged in a great civil war which is testing whether this media or any media so conceived and so dedicated can long endure I have been among the sometime critics of recent years who resented and resisted the increasing centralization of press and public information facilities I shared Mr belief that the networks listed I did not share his fear that this represented some sinister international conspiracy but was convinced instead that the lopsidedness resulted from nothing more mysterious than a wheel hub off center But this springtime of 1973 we are absorbing allegations of imperfection from several directions from the rightists and the leftists from the White House and the Congress and from some courts This intensely interested observer of the maturing of electronic news would invite a pause for applause In the networks and in almost 8666 Individual station operations around our

the last instance when the direct contempt power was used but quit when I got back to 1938 without any reward for my labor Sen decision to at least threaten to use this weapon may be based partly on his suspicion that if the matter were turned over to the Department of Justice for handling under the criminal code the President could frustrate the whole business by simply issuing a pdrdon On the other hand the pardoning power does not reach those summarily convicted at the bar of the legislature The very fact that pne can write a column like this indicates the need for an injection of sanity
