Sunny TODAY: Mostly sunny and warmer; high in middle 70s. FRIDAY: Partly sunny and warmer; high in low 80s. 101 st Yoar--8 Des Pldines, Illinois 60016 Thursday, July 6, 1972 5 actions, 42 Pages Home Delivery S5c a week-- lOc a copy Council To View Plan For Hiring Youth Director A Des Plaincs City Council committee v.ill meet next week to consider proposals for hiring a full-time city youth diruc- tor to help fight increasing youth problems here. Tho council's youth activity committee will meet at 8 p.m. Tuesday in City Hall, M12 Miner to study creation of a new city job for a youth worker, who could aid community groups and Des Plaines police in combating rising youth crime rates, drug abuse and family conflicts.

The committee has invited several community youth leaders to speak at the meeting, including the Rev. David Russell. Place for People Youth Center director; DC. Edward Baranowski, director of the Maine Township Mental Health clinic: Sgt. Kenneth Fretlricks.

who heads the police youth division; Glen Helms, president of the Des Plaincs Coordinating Council on Youth Problems and the Rev. Donald Hughes, Youth Commission chairman. PROPOSALS for hiring a youth director were made in June by Aid. Robert Sherwood (2nd). Sherwood, a former chairman of the youth committee and now one of its three members, said he has studied the need for a youth director for more than three years.

He is convinced, he said, that a director is needed to provide professional guidance and to coordinate programs offered by city and private youth aid agencies. Committees he chaired considered hiring a city counselor to work with young people who have become involved with police. He had also complaints, as youth committee chairman, that members of the Des Plaine:) Youth Commission lack the time and the professional knowledge to plan and create programs to help young people. A youth director could coordinate efforts by the city police, the mental health clinic, the Salvation Army Family Service. Forest hospital, the youth commission, the Des Plaines Coordinating Council an organization of school and church leaders the Des Plaines Park District, and the Place for People, an informed youth center, according to Sherwood.

OFTEN THESE agencies duplicate services, Sherwood said. If they would work together "toward the same goal, they would get there quicker," he said. A youth director might be able to develop programs to reduce the growing number of juvenile criminal offenses, he said. In 1971 juvenile offense arrests rose 35 per cent from 1,118 in 1970 to 1,505. Arrests for narcotics-use violations rose almost 50 per cent from 42 to 62.

Burglary arrests jumped 117 per cent from 35 in 1970 to 76 in 1971. During the first quarter of 1972 juvenile arrests were up 11 per cent, compared to the first quarter of 1971. Drug- use arrests more than doubled, from 11 during last year's first quarter to 26 during the first three months of this year. Another advocate of hiring a city youth director, Rev. Russell, said the city could provide a youth service similar to one provided by Palatine Township.

A YOUTH SERVICES bureau could be created to refer young people to other agencies for counseling, jobs, legal assistance and medical aid, he said. The youth bureau could also provide informal activities similar to the Place for People center, so the young people would be attracted and come in contact with adults who could help them. Rev. Russell also said a city counselor could seek out young people at neighborhood hang-outs to explain services the city is offering. A youth director could also be a resource for information, and he could be a consultant for community groups, like the PTA's, he said.

A director could coordinate programs of various local agencies and create new programs where a need exists, he said. Funds for creation of this type of service are now available from the Illinois Law Enforcement Commission, Rev. Russell said. The commission would provide up to $30,000 a year for a city youth service program, he said. PARKING YOUR CAR at Oakton Community College may be a problem.

The college, located at St. and Nagle Ave. in Morton Grove, has been unable to -find enough parking spaces for its students, faculty, administrators and campus vis- itors and the problem will become worse when enrollment increases in the fall, as expected. The school now operates a shuttle bus from Niles West High School where Oakton students are allowed to park their cars. The college board of trustees hopes to extend the bus service to connect with city public transportation lines in the near future and hopes to find additional parking spaces in areas near the campus.

Knotty Problem For Oakton: Parking Oakton Community College is looking for a parking lot. With enrollment expected to increase sharply this fall, the college has been looking for additional parking space. "We're boxed in," said Robert Gihle, campus security chief. "There is nothing else available." The college is located in a former industrial complex at Nagle Avenue and Oakton Street in Morton Grove. Oakton is leasing six buildings there to house classrooms, offices, laboratories and a student center.

The campus site contains only about crowded parking lots last year, said 500 parking spaces, which were used during the latest academic year by about 2,400 full and part-time students. The 1972-73 school year enrollment will be more than 4,000 students, Gihle said. The college had problems with over- Gihle. About 400 spaces were used at Niles West High School and students were bused more than a mile to the Oakton campus.
