DELLART FLORAL For Flaxen Alt Occaiiont Former Boise Cascade Chief Buys Out TV Channel Sixes MOST OF THIS Bistline lumber and hardware building will soon be torn down to "make room for a brand new studio and office for Channel 6 TV In Pocatello," according to Robert V. Hansberger, president of Futura Titanium Corporation. The FCC Monday gave Futura the go-ahead to buy KPVI-TV of Pocatello and KIVI-TV of Nampa. See story. (Journal Photo by O.K.

Johnson) ByMARKMENDIOLA Journal Staff Writer The Federal Communications Commission Monday granted former Boise Cascade Corporation president Robert V. Hansberger permission to buy two sister television stations at Pocatello and Nampa, the Idaho State Journal has learned. Jerald Fritz, FCC staff attorney from Washington D.C., told the Journal this morning about the approved sale of Eastern Idaho Television Corporation, licensee of KPVI Channel 6 of Pocatello, and Idaho Television Corporation, licensee of KIVI Channel 6 at Nampa. "They both assigned the licenses and sold the assets to an outfit called Futura Titanium Corporation for a total consideration of $655,850," Fritz said during a telephone interview. The FCC attorney noted that Hansberger owns 100 per cent of Futura Titanium's stock, but also presently is a minority stockholder in both Eastern Idaho Television and Idaho Television corporations.

"In essence, what he has done is bought out all the stockholders through his wholly-owned corporation. Both Eastern Idaho and Idaho Television are going to merge in Futura Titanium Corporation," Fritz commented. Futura Titanium is a Delaware corporation, but is Idaho- owned and controlled. It manufactures anti-corrosive, fabricated products used in handling toxic liquids or gases. Futura's main plant is in California, but it also operates a facility in Belgium and uses some Russian titanium for its European and Asian markets.

Futura's purchase application was filed with the FCC May 16. Fritz said the commission waited 30 days to make sure no formal petitions requesting denial of the transaction would be submitted. When reviewing the application, FCC staff members considered Futura's legal and financial status and whether the corporation can meet market needs and interests, he added. "I am very gratified that the FCC has seen fit to approve merger of the third station in the nation's smallest--but one of the most rapidly growing--markets in the nation into our company," Hansberger stated when contacted this morning at his Boise office. Hansberger admitted the Pocatello and Nampa stations have been on somewhat shaky financial ground because "the companies were undercapitalized in the very beginning." "With the additional financial strength of Futura Titanium behind the two stations, I think they will be able to fully realize the advantages of having two ABC channel sixes in the two most important markets in Idaho," he stated.

The corporate president said he doesn't expect any persTnneSn es in Pocatello as a result of the merger merger will not be finalized for several days, but it will oW Rialto theatre buildings on and "the balance of the structure will be remodeled for studio and administrative offices for KPVI Channel 6. "Ultimately we hope to have additional office space there for other tenants. We'll actually be making sort of a plaza out of that area. The architectural work has already started. As rapidly as we can get city approval, we hope get It Minto said, noting that Pocatellan Cedric Allen will be the project architect.

"We're hopeful of having cost of the new building project "will be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. KPVI currently has administrative offices at 150 Main but its studio is in the back of the Teleprompter Cable TV building on Third. The old structure was bought from Wallace Associates of Salt Lake City. Hansberger resigned as president of Boise Cascade Corporation in October of 1972 for personal reasons. He became president and director of Boise Cascade in 1957.

He previously was president of Western Sales Company, executive vice president of Western Kraft Corporation, a Container Corporation of America assistant executive vice president; and was a University of Minnesota engineering instructor. The 57-year-old industrialist acquired Futura Titanium about 10 years ago. Other Futura officers inc executive vice president; Klara K. Hansberger, vice president; Harry C.

Gantt, secretary. assistant Robert V. Hansberger WHY DO STUDENTS MISBEHAVE? Program Hopes to Attack Roots of Vandalism ByMARKGEERS Journal Staff Writer Aiameda Junior High School's problems with student misbehavior and disruptiveness were not so bad, as such problems go. But by the time counselor John Cashmere saw an opportunity to fix them, they were bad enough. In the school year, the cost of vandalism to lockers, windows, restroom equipment, cars, and walls at the Pocatello school reached $6,000.

Drugs were sold and taken on campus, and students were sometimes sick in class from drinking. Violence took the form of fights, extortion, and threats against students and teachers, and truancy and tardiness increased. What's more, "Aiameda doesn't have any more problems than any other school in the district," Cashmere declared. This autumn, a plan to address those symptoms of student disenchantment will be enacted at Aiameda, Cashmere said. The plan-which he and six other Pocatellans devised while attending a U.S.

Office of Education workshop in Oakland for two weeks last March-will have as goals building students' self-identity and their feeling of usefulness, improvement of their self-esteem, and prompting communications among students and teachers and--Cashmere hopes--the entire community. There is a direct relationship between the absence of these goals and the destruction of school property by students, Cashmere claimed. To supply those missing elements, he said, at least three basic improvements are needed. The school needs a more effective parent-teacher-student organization to assess and answer the school's needs; it needs a more effective student government, to allow students to participate more in different programs, make contributions toward establishing curriculum guidelines, and evaluate programs; and it needs improved problem-solving ability among faculty, so they can upgrade relations with one another and with students and improve classes they teach. Cashmere said the school will offer a leadership class this fall whose members will include Aiameda student body representatives and leaders and teachers.

A parent- teaeher-student organization has had several meetings already, the counselor said. Cashmere emphasized the program needs a community thrust, and is not designed to give students too much authority to decide such things as curriculum offerings. Other teams participating in the Oakland workshop came from schools in Los Angeles; Fairbanks, Alaska; Torrington, and several other cities and towns. Despite wide differences in the character and size of the various locales represented, the schools' problems were basically the same, said Cash- mere. They included delinquency, truancy, violence, and vandalism.

Severity of the problems, on the other hand, did vary. "In L.A., they don't stop at knives-they pull guns on one another," he said. "The other common factor I found was that the causes were basically the same." He named broken homes, low family income, and lack of alternatives for adolescents (including poor recreation facilities within the community) as some of the underlying causes for problems in schools. However, Cashmere said, he had believed the growth rate in Pocatello, and an influx in numbers of persons from different ethnic and social groups into the city, would aggravate problems local schools now experience. Learning of an available grant offered through the federal education office and the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration (LEAA), Cashmere applied for federal funds.

He was invited to assemble a group to attend the workshop, members of which had to include a community representative, a student, a representative of the juvenile justice system, a school administrator, and a school disciplinarian, a counselor, and a teacher. Aiameda vice principal Bob Goold, geography teacher Dan McDonald, and Cashmere represented Aiameda. Group transportation costs, as well as pay for substitute teachers, were borne by the federal government. Upon the group's return from the workshop, Cashmere said, a survey measuring attitudes at Aiameda was taken; a post-test survey will be recorded next May to judge whether the group's plan has been successful in reducing the problems the group identified. Results of the program will be forwarded to federal authorities.

The program costs the district no money, according to Cashmere, a Washington, D.C., native. "The only expense involved in the program will be the time and energy of the people involved." Doesn't Cashmere fear, though, the program will reach everybody but the ones who may be doing the real damage--the most embittered, turned-off students? "Not really," said the counselor, who holds a bachelor's degree in education and a master's in guidance and counseling from Idaho State University. "Kids want to be involved. They're tired of people putting them down. They're always told, 'You're too young, you're just a kid, you don't know all the time.

But people say, 'It's your fault' when they do something wrong." In other words, they are required to be responsible. He said students want--and don't presently have--a say as to what kind of courses they want to study. They would have more of a voice in this area under the new plan. But Cashmere stressed that students are not getting an out-sized responsibility; the entire community's help is sought in putting the program together. AGREEMENT HAS BEEN First Security Must Sell SL Subsidiary First Security Savings and Loan Association will be sold soon by the First Security Corporation, in compliance with orders of the Federal Reserve System.

George S. Eccles, chairman of the board and chief executive officer of First Security announced today in Salt Lake City that agreement has been reached to sell the savings and loan association shares to John Price, chairman and president of Price Industries, or to a buyer Price designates. Eccles said it may take six months to obtain approval of the transaction by state and federal regulatory authorities. The board of governors of the Federal Reserve System ruled in 1976 that bank holding companies cannot own savings and loan associations. That decision necessitated divestiture ot First Security Savings and Loan from the parent family to which it has belonged since 1928.

Eccles said the association will continue to operate as it has in the past as a state-chartered association with accounts insured to the maximum by the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corp. Present officers and employes will remain, Eccles said, assuring a "continuity of sound and responsible management." Eccles said the proposed sale will have no effect on customers' savings or loans with First Security Savings and Loan Association. Idaho offices of First Security Savings and Loan are at 349 W. Center, Pocatello, and at Idaho Falls and Rexburg. Ray Henscheid, executive vice president and manager of the Pocatello office, is in Vancouver, British Columbia, attending a convention of the U.S.

GEORGE'S, Grenada (AP) A procedural victory for the United States at the Organization of American States meeting has improved prospects for adoption of an American resolution on human rights. The OAS assembly on Monday adopted a resolution aimed at combating terrorism and rejected efforts by four military dictatorships to link it with the human rights resolution.
