"Also we deal with family life curriculum in our high school in our family living course," he said. He added that it is touched on in psychology as well as individual counseling with teachers and especially guidance counselors. "One of the questions we are going to have to deal with is whether or not family life curriculum can continue to be offered in life science in seventh grade since science has become a basic skill," he said. The first real testing program and standards will be set in the fall.

This will dramatically change what is done in science. "We need to look at it closely.

Assistant Superintendent for Instruction Dr. Michael McKenzie gave the board an update on participation in a nine-week "family life" or sex education course. Of 618 seventh graders, 24 chose not to participate this year, McKenzie said. The district looks at sex education through its curriculum in two modes, McKenzie said. One is direct instruction through courses such as biology and physical education.

However, it is also handled through a counseling mode, individually between students and teachers, students and counselors, students and administrators or students and other support personnel. The seventh grade course is offered in the last nine weeks of life sciences. "We do have a policy which deals with sex education," McKenzie said.

Most states permit judges and juries to weigh the emotional, financial and psychological impact of a crime on the victim and family members. But it is believed relatively few apply that rule to cases in which the defendant faces the death penalty. Monday's ruling applies only to capital punishment cases. The court said the jury that sentenced Maryland killer John Booth to die may have been inflamed by evidence that the victims were dearly loved by family members who said they were devastated by the murders. Justice Lewis F.

Powell, writing for the court, said, "One can understand the grief and anger of the family caused by the brutal murders in this case. But the for-' mal presentation of this information by the state can serve no other purpose than to inflame the jury and divert it from deciding the case on the relevant evidence concerning the crime and the defendant." Booth was sentenced to die for robbing and killing Irvin Brons-tein, 78, and his wife, Rose, 75, at their Baltimore home on May 18, 1983. Each victim was stabbed in the chest 12 times and was bound and gagged.

That would bea major econ omic boost for Baghdad, whose economy has been badly hit by the 6-year-old war with Iran and last year's slump in oil prices. Officials in Baghdad declined all comment on whether the pipeline will be reopened, but they stressed that Iraq is prepared to talk with Syria to improve WASHINGTON (AP) The fight against racial and class prejudice will be helped by a new Supreme Court ruling that bars evidence in capital punishment cases about the impact of a murder on the victim's family, civil rights groups say. But victims' rights groups are lamenting the ruling as "a slap in the face" to their cause.

A deeply divided court ruled Monday that the impact of a murder on the victim's family may not be considered when a convicted killer faces a possible death sentence. The 5-4 decision threw out the death sentence for a Maryland man convicted of brutally killing an elderly couple. Richard Burr of the Legal Defense and Education Fund of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People said the ruling shows the court "is really on guard against the intrusion of race and class prejudice" in capital punishment cases. He said if the justices decided the case differently "it would have opened the door to bringing in race and class differences. The suffering of white victims' families would have been deemed more persuasive than suffering and death in black families," Burr said.

"We're very heartened." Gene Patterson, representing a coalition of victims' rights groups, said the decision "is a slap in the face to all victims of violent crime. It's a major setback to our movement because in essence the ruling says the rights of convicted murderers take precedence over the rights of innocent victims." Victims' rights organizations argued unsuccessfully that society has a vital stake in meting out the harshest penalties in retribution Peace (Continued from page 1) Baghdad do not want to make public statements on their talks until a long-delayed Arab summit is held, probably between September and November. The April 26 summit also was attended by King Hussein of Jordan and Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Abdullah, who have been seeking to reconcile Syria and Iraq. The sources said the Iraqi and Syrian leaders signed a preliminary accord to crack down on dissident groups in their countries that they have in the past supported. Anti-government Iraqis in Syria have carried out sabotage attacks and bombings in Baghdad and other cities in recent years.

Anti-Syrian factions in Iraq have bombed army installations, trains and cities in Syria, killing hundreds of people. The two countries' oil ministers are expected to meet soon to discuss reopening the oil pipeline, closed by Syria in April 1982, that runs from Iraq's Kirkuk oilfield to Banias on Syria's Mediterranean coast. nation Across the By Tkt Pmi TaFiaay Temperatures indicate previous day's high and overnight low to 8 a.m. Hi Pre OUt 54 clr 90 62 clr 93 cdy 59 49 rn S3 ft 02 rn Albany Albuquerque Amanita Anchorage AshevUle Atlanta 11 72 1 79 rn clr cdy Atlantic City 70 .01 Austin Baltimore Billing!
