BETURNING TO SCHOOL Mrs. Donna Alt, 17, was to go
back to school today. The Ohio First District Court of Ap
peals has ordered the Loveland Board of Education to admit
her to classes at Loveland, O., high school. The board
planned an immediate appeal. She has been refused admil
tance because of a ruling which prohibited married students.
Mrs. Alt married Pfc. Ted Alt last May. He is now overseas
and she wants to complete her education. (UPI Telephoto)
What Is The Law?
This column is prepared as a public service by the
College of Law, Willamette University, Salem, to
explain basic legal principles, not to provide legal
advice. The reader is cautioned not to apply these cases
to his own problems without an attorney's advice, for
differing facts may change the outcome. .
Restrictive Employment
Covenants Trouble Courts
Anson, upon graduating
from a college of architec
ture, went to work for Smith
& Sons, architects. As part of
his contract of employment,
he agreed that if he ever left
the employ of Smith & Sons,
he would not compete with
them in the architecture bus
iness anywhere in the same
state for 20 years. After gain
ing two years of valuable ex
perience with Smith & Sons,
Anson quit and started his
own business in another city
In the same state. Smith- &
Sons then brought suit, ask
ing the court to order Anson
to close his business.
Is Restraint Reasonable?
The courts have been trou
bled by the so-called "re
strictive employment coven
ants," in which the employee
agrees not to compete with
his employer should he quit
his job. One of the questions
asked by the courts is whe
ther the restraint is reason
able in scope. Generally such
a restraint must be limited
geographically, and cannot
cover the entire nation. The
different state courts are in
disagreement as to whether
a state-wide restraint is too
hard on the employee. Most
courts do not require that
t.ff vA M;
such restraints have any time
limit, but if the rest of the
covenant is too strict, a short
time limit may induce the
court to go ahead and enforce
the restraint. The courts al
ways consider the nature of
the employee's work. A chain
store janitor, for example,
probably could not legally be
forbidden to start a store of
his own, -whereas a chain
store manager probably could
be so forbidden,
The covenant cannot be too
harsh on the employee. If it
would cause him to be un
employed, or to move from
his life-long home, or give up
the work for which he is best
trained, the courts will not
enforce it.
Would Not Be Enforced
Moreover, if the courts feel
that the restraint will create
a monopoly, thereby prevent
ing competition and free en
terprise, or denying a needed
service to the public, the re
straint will not be enforced.
Most courts will either en
force all of the covenant, or
none of it. However, a few
courts follow the "blue pen
cil" rule, and enforce the part
of the restraint that is rea
sonable, and reject the rest.
In Anson's case, the court
refused to make him close his
business. Since his business
was in another city, he was
not competing unfairly with
his former employer. To en
force the covenant would
have forced him and his fam
ily on public relief, and
would have given Smith &
Sons a monopoly in the ar
chitecture business.

Results Appear
To Be Toss-Up;
Demos Have Edge
By RAYMOND R. COFFEY
Detroit - (UPD - Ordinarily
it's no trouble at all getting
a politician to predict a land
slide victory for him and his
party in an election.
But in Michigan even the
candidates are a little hesitant
to forecast the outcome of the
Nov. 8 election, and in their
hesitancy seems to lie the
truth of the current political
situation in the Wolverine
state.
The coming election in
Michigan appears to observ
ers at this point to be a toss-
up, with the Democrats per
haps holding an edge in the
races for state offices and
U, S. senator and the Repub
licans holding an advantage
in the presidential contest.
Detroit Free Press political
writer Ray Courage, who re
cently completed a doorbell
ringing tour of a dozen com
munities, summed it up this
way: -
'The presidential race in
Michigan is a tossup." Neither
Vice President Richard M.
Nixon or Sen. John F. Ken
nedy so far has "made signifi
cant gains. And one of every
four voters interview is un
decided." Presidential Race Tops
On the state level, Courage
found the races for governor
and U. S. senator shoved into
the background by the presi
dential contest but that "if
either candidate for governor
making headway, it is
Swainson the Democrat, tie
benefits from a pleasing per
sonality, a want-to-be-mothered
look and his war injuries."
Two big factors in tne elec
tion in Michigan are:
1. Six-term Democratic uov.
G. Mennen Williams is step
ping aside and, 2. Historically
Michigan has gone Republican
in presidential elections, wnn
the GOP carrying tne stale
for Thomas E. Dewey in ihio
and President Eisenhower in
1952 and 1956 even wnen
Democrat Williams was win
ning big at the state level.
Nixon and Kennedy would
appear to agree witn tne xoss
up assessment. Both have
nmr.aiened in the state al
ready and both have promised
to come back in pursuit of
Michigan's 20 electoral votes.
Religious Question Raised
The question of Kennedy's
religion has popped in a small
way in some outstate areas
that are generally Protestant
and generally Republican any
how. But it would not appear
to be a major issue here since,
for example, both of Michi
gan's present U. S. senators
are Roman Catholics and the
late Frank Murphy, also a
Catholic, had no trouble get
ting elected governor.
One thing that could harass
Kennedy in heavily Demo
cratic Wayne County Detroit,
where civil rights is a major
issue with the large Negro
population and with organiz
ed labor, is the fact that Sen.
Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas
is his running mate for vice
president.
The first reaction of Gov.
Williams and other Michigan
delegates to the national Dem-
ennvention to John
son's selection was anger and
disappointment. Some dele
gates even muueieu
ing "betrayed" and "double
crossed." .
Johnson 'Adds Nothing
Just before leaving for the
convention Williams had said
Johnson could "add nothing
to the ticket in Michigan.
nt aw that they have
him, Williams and other Dem
ocrats say mey
However,' up to now they
have not called upon him to
campaign in Detroit or Wayne
Democrats freely and al
most universally grant that

Automoible Can Have Serious Affect
On Student's Grades. Survey Shows
V
By LOUIS CASSELS
UPI Correspondent
An automobile may be a
social asset, to a teen-ager
but it can also be a serious
academic liability.
High school
principals
have been
saying that for
years. Their
judgment has
now been
strongly cor
roborated by
bouis Cassels a nationwide
survey conducted by the All
state Insurance companies.
The survey covered a large
sample of the U.S. high
school population-20,000 typ
ical juniors and seniors in 29
communities, representing all
sections of the country and
all social-economic brackets.
It shows a definite relation
ship between driving habits
and academic performance.
The higher a student's mile
age, the lower his grades are
likely to be.
For the sake of conscien
tious teen-agers, it should be
emphasized that occasional
use of the family car for dates
does not appear to have a det
rimental effect on school
work.
Majority Restricted
The survey shows that
about 75 per cent of all high
school juniors and seniors
have driver's licenses, and
nearly 60 per cent have ac
cess to automobiles "for social
purposes."
The overwhelming majori
ty of the A and B students
are restricted by their parents
or voluntarily restrict them
selves -to week end driving,
predominantly on Saturday
night and Sunday afternoon.
Relatively few of these upper
bracket students use cars on
school nights.
The percentage of students
using cars on week nights
rises steadily as you go
down the academic ladder. At
the extreme-seven nights
week-there are 20 times as
Youths Charged With
Illegal Possession
Medford police took two
youths into custody and ar
rested a third Saturday on
charges of illegal possession
of alcoholic beverages.
Two youths, ages 15 and
16, were questioned and re
leased to the custody of their
parents. The third, Gregory
Dean Hildebrand, 18, of 602
North Riverside ave., was
arrested and released on post
ing $35 bail.
Police said the three boys
were picked up after four six
packs of beer were found in
car in which they were
riding.
many 1 students as A stu
dents. The survey also shows that
students who own cars are
more likely to drive exces
sively and to make poor
grades. The percentage of
car owners is highest among
F students, next highest
among D students, and so on
until it reaches a minimum
among the A students.
Another finding should
give pause to parents who

think they can solve the car
problem by telling teen-agers:
"You can have a car when
you earn the money to pay
for it."
Students who work at part
time jobs in order to support
a car, the survey shows, are
twice as likely to make fail.
ing grades in school than
other students.
Finally, it is clear from the
survey that a year s differ
ence in age makes a lot of
difference in the teen-ager's
ability, to handle the heady
freedom of an automobile
without getting into trouble
at school. Students who ob
tain a car, or extensive use of
a car, at age 16 nearly al
ways show a sharp drop in
academic standing. When car
privileges are withheld for a
year longer, the effect on
grades is considerably diminished.
Summing up the findings,
the authors of the Allstate
survey conclude that "paren
tal laxity" can be blamed for
most situations in which pre
mature ownership or exces
sive use of cars leads a teen
ager to academic disaster.
Status Symbol
To modern youngsters, the
automobile has become jin
important status symbol.
Many high school students
feel that access to a car is es
sential to social success. It's
up to their parents to main
tain a wise and firm control
over the situation, restricting
driving privileges to week
ends or other occasions when
school work won't be dis
rupted. Above all, parents should
not pass the buck by telling a
high school youth that he can
have a car when he can buy it
himself and pay for his own
gas and oil. If he accepts the
challenge, the time he devotes
to "working for the car" will
be deducted from his studies.
And he'll feel that he has the
right to drive as often and as
far as he can afford financial
ly. That's likely to be a lot
more than he can afford academically.
Road Builders Hear
biscussion of Proaram
Fundamental policy deci
sions on the national highway
program cannot be postponed
much longer, Louis W. Pren
tiss, executive vice president
of the American Road Build
ers' association, declared at
the recent association conven
tion in Atlanta, Ga.
He was referring to a high
way program which includes
the new Pacific freeway now
being constructed through the
Rogue valley. The convention
was attended by Jackson
County Engineer Robert J.
Carstensen.
"The most urgent and
thorniest decisions to be made
are those concerned with the
financing of the federal-aid
program, and especially the
interstate system," Prentiss
said. "First of these decisions
is do we Intend to complete
the interestate system on
schedule and if not when?"
The 1956 highway act set
up a schedule of authoriza
tions for the interstate pro
gram calling for the final ap
portionment of funds to be
made for the fiscal year 1969.
Apportionments have been
made already for each fiscal
year through 1962. Including
the 1963 appor t i o n m e n t,
which will be made next year,
there are only seven more In
terstate apportionment au
thorized. The seven future allotments
will be insufficient to pay the
federal share of the Interstate
system. The indicated defici
ency is about $9.5 billion,
Prentiss pointed out.
