"I know that some will say 'Why don't you suspend these pupils' Boltz continued. "When we suspend a pupil for three days that doing the pupil means the pupil can go hunting.

He said he then asked the Cornwall- Lebanon School Board for mission to inaugurate the 20 day experiment which ends with the Christmas vacation.

The experiment, he added, confines smoking to one lavatory each for boys and girls; At the end of each school day these two lavatories will be fumigated so smoke will not.travel into other school areas. Each lavatory is equipped with sand buckets for butts. that when the 20- day experiment period is conclude he will present his evaluation results to the school board. "It will then be up to the board to determine whether or not we should continue to permit smoking in school." Along with the inauguration of the program permitting smoking, Boltz said a number of rules and regulations were placed in effect. One calls upon teachers to confiscate and destroy any cigarettes that can be seen in the possession of or on the person of pupils in classrooms.

Another regulation prohibits smoking in any portions of the school other than the two lavatories approved for smoking. Smoking is prohibited in any part of the school at night. Boltz also emphasized that a regulation absolutely prohibits smoking in school buses. An fraction of the rules will result in a 20-day suspension and academic demerits that may insure failure for the school term. "If someone had told me five years ago that I would propose to my school board the action on which we are now embarked 1 sure that there is no smoking.

It se at 16 the age at which it is legal' for children to purchase cigarettes. He also pointed oul that the school code generally requires compulsory school attendance by those under 17.

Others permit a number to go at one in time, even though we aske( them to allow one at a time," he said. Boltz said he Is hopeful that now that the experiment has been started it will eliminate what he termed the challenge on the part of some pupils to smoke. "I think some of the pupils only smoked in th'e lavatories because it was forbidden," he added. He said some pupils are a a i smoking and in some instances anti-smoking pupils have directed physical against those who smoke. Boltz readily admitted that the school faculty had voted agains the smoking experiment by a two-thirds but added, "Those against the pro posal had no substitute tc offer."

"Many children feel they don't deserve presents from their parents," he said. more children sense that accepting gifts from parents or relatives creates an obligation.

Little is known about the mass murder suspect. He was single, he had worked as a public school teachers' aide, and he was born in Baltimore's Inner city.

Ricker said FerreU-Ei walked into the ground floor of one of the buildings, and shot Vernon Ferguson, 23, who died on the way to the hospital.

"He then walked through the shipping department, across an alley into the other building and up the stairs to the second floor adjacent to the dipping' room where he worked," Ricker said. There he shot to death Allen Ringley, 32, and Edward Yienger, 35, both co-workers, and William Cook, 30, who happened to be delivering supplies in the -area at the time, Ricker said.
