It tells of a gun-wielding 8-year-old boy who attempted to rob a grocery store in Oshkosh. Now, where would an 8-year-old learn something like that, she says, except from TV or movies? She holds up another clipping, this one about the shocking results of a recent survey of 1,700 middle school kids in Rhode Island. Sixty-five percent of the boys surveyed and 47 percent of the girls thought it was acceptable for a man to force a woman to have sex if theyve been dating at least six months; 50 percent of the students thought a woman who dresses seductively and walks alone at night was asking to be raped. Olson and Jack Naughton, both longtime counselors at Madison Memorial High School, say they were astonished by the findings.

In fact, Naughtons initial reaction was to question the legitimacy of the survey. Now, however, he believes its just one more example of how in America, we accept violence as a way of life. That disturbing reality, Naughton suggests, is probably the chief reason why 60 teachers have signed up more than 100 were turned away for the fifth annual teachers workshop on Vio- issue, no one else would. In addition, she says, she was spurred into action by the horrifying murder of 10-year-old Paula McCormick and the outpouring of grief that occurred for months after. That made me realize that the schools really had a job to do, she says.

Naughton says its obvious that violence is not as serious in Madison schools as it is elsewhere. But he says that could change if the drug menace continues to grow. Memorial, for example, is known statewide for its scholastic and athletic achievements. But, Naughton points out, the school still must contend with occasional fights in the hallways, and teachers still encounter students with long histories of physical abuse. And even at a school like this, he says, weve got a lot of people who use liquor and other drugs.

Olson, while hardly claiming to be an expert on the subject, believes that a breakdown in values is the biggest reason for Americas increasingly violent nature a breakdown she blames primarily on television. Naughton agrees, but suggests there is a kaleidoscope of other reasons, too: the availability of handguns, the heavy emphasis on sex in advertising, the glamorization of sex and violence in movies. Still, Naughton feels so strongly about the negative influence of TV that he and his wife Elaine (a teacher at Jefferson Middle School) went 12 years without a TV set in their home while raising their three kids. Asked how they managed to do that, Naughton says hes not really sure. But, he notes, that was back in the 60s and 70s, when many kids still were contert to read in their spare time.

I think it would be much harder to win that battle today, he says. Whatever the case, Naughton says hes not so naive as to think that everyone who has signed up for the workshop has done so out of a burning desire to do something about violence. After all, he says, the workshop is free, and it counts as two professional advancement credits. Nonetheless, he says hes heard from large numbers of teachers who have found it invaluable. For example, he says, it broadens their awareness of some of the evils that kids are confronted with these days everything from drugs to violent pornography.

It inspires them to seek meaningful solutions to violence, not only in the classroom but in their own lives.

Johnson St. The workshop which will feature such prominent individuals as Walter Dickey, former head of Wisconsins Division of Corrections is actually an outgrowth of a workshop on sexism that the two started in 1974 after the passage of Title IX. That one was held for 10 consecutive summers, but, according to Olson, failed to attract large numbers of male teachers.

In 1983, Olson convinced Naughton to shift the workshops emphasis to deal- ing with violence while still addressing such sensitive issues as homophobia and subtle forms of sexism. Though she agrees with many educators that schools have become a dumping ground for every social ill that comes along, Olson says it also occurred to her that if schools didnt confront the violence HENRY A. KOSHOLLEKThe Capital Times Memorial counselors Darlene Olson and Jack Naughton Madison Scouts polishing show for European trip i i i i By JAY RATH Special to The Capital Times While Madisons summer will be quieter without the Drum Corps International world championships, the Madison Scouts Drum and Bugle Corps will be busier than ever, celebrating its 50th anniversary with a performance at Breese Stevens Field Saturday, June 4, and then going on a European tour. The trip, along with the Scouts regular American travels, will keep the corps away from Madison much of the summer. Fans can still look forward to the special anniversary dress rehearsal at Breese Ste-- vens, nine blocks off the Capitol Square on East Washington Avenue.

The program begins at 8 p.m. Saturday and admission is free. Additionally, the Scouts new uniforms will be unveiled there. Theyre entirely new, except for the familiar white Aussie hats, and feature green cadet-style jackets with epaulets, and white pants. Breese Stevens was the location for the annual Drums on Parade drum corps exhibition from the 1 early 1950s through the late 60s.

The Scouts executive director, Scott Stewart, said acoustics there are perfect for drum corps, and the show will be exciting. I think that this, very conceivably, could be the best corps weve ever put out, he said. The Scouts will perform adaptations of Concerto for Guitar and Jazz Orchestra by Paul Hart and John Wil-. liams and Malaguena. Not only is it one of our more well put-together programs, but I think its one of the most exciting, Stewart said.

The Madison Scouts began in 1938. After a performance of the Racine Scouts Corps at the University of Wisconsin Stock Pavilion, a group of Madison business people set about forming a similar group for area Boy Scouts. The first rehearsal was in a church basement The beginning was inauspicious: A broomstick served as the drum majors baton.

It has always concerned me that these people hear our music many years after its release or through illegal importing and home taping. The new spirit of friendship has enabled me to make this gesture to my Russian fans.

During World War II, the Scouts promoted the sale of war bonds. By 1947, the Scouts were so successful that they attended the World Scout Jamboree of Peace in Moisson, France. It was the only U.S. musical Scout unit to attend. The U.S.

Scout troops made the trip in a troop transport, courtesy of President Truman. This summer, after 41 years, the Madison Scouts will return to Europe. Theyll depart June 20 on two regularly scheduled commercial airliners from Chicagos OHare International Airport. Theyll arrive in Frankfurt, West Germany, to cruise the Rhine, rehearse, and conduct clinics and exhibitions with seven German corps. On June 25, the Scouts will move to The Hague, Netherlands.

Three days later, theyll be across the channel, in Harwich, England. More rehearsal, more clinics, more concerts. In between, the Scouts will find time to visit Coventrys Coronation Hall, Warwick Castle and London. Theyll be back in America on July 5. If you find it difficult to plan even a family vacation, imagine organizing a tour for 128 performers, 18 staff members and 14 support staff, including cooks.

The trip will cost $180,000. Paul Oliver McCartney Iortli someone," White told students at P.S. 87.

The other half will be defrayed by a seed grant from the Pride of Cincinnati (drum and bugle corps) Foundation. The foundation no longer has a drum corps, said Steve Vickers, publisher of Drum Corps World newspaper, but its financial base continues. The foundation wanted to send an American corps to Europe to stimulate corps there, and it chose the Madison Scouts. Stewart and Vickers, who is a member of the Scouts board of directors, spent much of the last year organizing the trip. Well have spent as much time on rehearsal as we have on arranging the tour, said Stewart He and Vickers even spent the last week in April on a quick reconnoiter of the European facilities.

We were running to a meeting, and then we ran to another meeting, and then we ran to a train, and to another meeting, and Stewart sighed. They met with the European corps directors, checked stadiums and even planned it so that the Scouts stay with families of the Beatrix Drum and Bugle Corps in Hilversum, Holland, just as it is time to do laundry. tires slashed and their house pelted with eggs. It hurt, but I tried to ignore the name-calling and stuff like that, White said. Donald Regan, former White House chief of staff, says his move from the corporate board-room to the political backroom was a rough change that few businessmen should try.

But Regan, former chairman of Merrill Lynch had only good things to say Thursday about his former boss. I think Ronald Reagan will likely go down as one of our most underrated presidents. Later, he told reporters at an international conference of bond dealers in Dallas that he has not spoken with Reagan since his controversial book, For the Record: From Wall Street to Washington, was released. The former Treasury secretary encouraged businessmen to enter government service, but he said politics is not for everyone. Youve got to be prepared for a lot of heartache and headache," Regan said, as well as a pay cut Regan, who left the White House last year, said he was shocked by his first monthly paycheck as The Madison Scouts will be busy in Europe and the U.S.

this summer. I As you can see, weve thought of a lot of little details, Vickers said. The Madison Scouts will watch their European counterparts in performance, and the Scouts instructors will judge competitions between the other corps. Virtually all the corps in Europe will be attending these shows, Vickers said. The performance at The Hague will include two corps from Belgium, two from England, two from West Germany and eight from Holland.

The rest of the summer, the Scouts will travel the drum corps circuit in America. On Saturday, July 23, theyll return to Madison for Drums on Parade at 7:30 p.m. in Mansfield Stadium at Memorial High School. Besides the Scouts, other corps performing will be the Cavaliers, from Rosemont, the Colts, Treasury secretary. What is this, the tip? Regan quipped.

CIA defector: When Edward Lee Howard, the first CIA defector to the Soviet Union, decided to leave this country, he obviously tried to be as inconspicuous as possible. Washington journalist David Wise, author of a hot-selling new book about Howard, The Spy Who Got Away, said Thursday that Howard began his defection in 1985 on an airplane out of Tucson. Aware that the FBI was on his trail Howard was sitting nervously on the flight to Kennedy Airport, where he was to make connections out of the country, when he noticed that most of the people on the airplane seemed to be looking at him. Howard, who related this story in a series of secret interviews with Wise in Budapest, said he glanced at the man sitting next to him and was stunned and relieved to discover his seatmate was the easily recognizable tough-guy actor Lee Marvin. Nothing like being inconspicuous at the center of attention.

Wise, whose book is also being published simultaneously this month in eight countries, said he had planned to discuss the incident with Marvin but never had a Capital Times photos stamped envelope, and make checks payable to Drums on Parade. Be sure to indicate that it is the Madison show you would like to attend. As for the Drum Corps International world competitions, theyll be held beginning Aug. 15 in Kansas City, Mo. A return to Madison in 1992 looks good, according to Vickers.

Wise said he has learned since writing the book that the FBI did question Marvin about his seat-mate on that flight and that the craggy-faced actor remembered Howard, who had been reading The Hunt for Red October and had asked Marvin for an autograph. Obviously, Marvin was unaware the former spook was on his way to Moscow to sell sensitive CIA secrets. Ollie on Soviets: Indicted former White House aide Oliver L.
