Why must kids stay in JDH and what is it like to live there? According to James Neuville, psychiatric caseworker at “the home,” JDH serves as sort of a bus station for kids awaiting their hearings to see where they will be sent to reconcile for their crimes. Anyone who is appre hended and taken to JDH is entitled to a hearing. Ju veniles are informed of their rights as a citizen immedi ately after apprehension and later, during their actual hearing are furnished with a lawyer if they cannot af ford their own. Hearings are usually held on the first work day after the appre hension of the delinquent. For those who must stay a few days or longer at JDH a regular daily schedule must be followed. First, all personal posses sions are taken from the ju venile. Boys are provided with blue jeans and tee- shirts while the county clads the girls in either a jean or a skirt outfit. Then they are given a small room consist ing of four blank walls, a bed, perhaps a chair, and a small wire-covered window. Boys and girls live, eat and go to school in separate quarters. The actual living and eating quarters are broken into sep arate units consisting of several rooms and a dorm of about six beds. Monday through Friday and even during some of the summer months the resi dents of JDH attend school, Each student is placed in a room and the teacher as- signs him an individual as- signment. It’s only during a movie, or special program that all members of the class function as a group. Usually twice a day students are given gym periods and some form of arts and crafts once a day. Breakfast, lunch, and din- ner are all served at “the home” and are served to the students in their various units. All silverware is counted before and after each meal. “The food is exceptional for an institution,” smiled Mr. Neu- ville. “In fact, most kids who stay here for over a week USU- ally gain weight.” A few hours of free time is also given each day. Dur ing this time students may either watch the unit tele- vision set, visit the library which is sponsored by Mult nomah County Library, or stay in their rooms. Bed time at JDH is at 10 p.m. Pajamas for both boys and girls are also furnished. Wednesday and Thursday eve ning as well as Saturday and Sunday afternoon are allotted as visiting hours for parents and friends, Candy or food which is brought to a juvenile is given to the unit instructor who doles it out when the juvenile requests it. Nurses and doctors are on full time duty for the juveniles, yet special permission may be got ten for a sick child to visit his family doctor if the child’s par ents prefer. JDH was originally built in 1952 to serve delinquents throughout Multnomah County. Today there is usually an aver age of 135 kids living at the home. by Joyce DeMonnin Guest speakers have been vis iting Mrs. Pamela Hall’s Ameri can Problems class giving views (both pro and con) on Viet Nam, the Middle East crisis, and Ni- geria.. The speakers are: Jay Fairley and Pete Testart against the war in Viet Nam, Ava Busham for the war; Mohammed Nabullsi and Hanad Kabba, Arabs giving their side of the war in the Middle East, Bill Atkins who is involved in Israel, giving the Israeli point of view; and Bassey Ituen on Nigeria. When asked of what value he believed the talks were, Tom Miller, a member of the class, stated, “Each student, if he’s reasonably intelligent, should evaluate the world crises for what they’re worth; to decide what is truth, because every- one’s opinion is biased. No one can just give the facts because it’s partly the guy’s opinion. You should be able to rule out what are facts and what is opinion.” Mrs. Hall’s class is taught from class discussion and current magazines. The pur pose of this is to gather a wider range of viewpoints of the surrounding world since history is basically an interpretation of the facts. That is why they are having the speakers; to get a wider range of opinions. “I think it’s better that we get something outside the classroom knowledge of the teacher and the textbook,” stated Donila Maki, a member of Miss Hall’s class. “It provides a wider range of interest and knowledge of ideas,” she concluded. Dolli Byer commented, “Usu ally we just learn what the teachers and books say. Having speakers who give their objec tive views will help us evaluate our opinion from the wider range of views.” “I think it’s a good idea,” stated Kirsten Bowmer, “but it would be better if we could have both the pro and con sides to gether in more of a debate style.” Attend the TEEN-AGERS AUTO INSURANCE E-Z Terms MT.
