our man by Arthur IIoppc The Nixon Administration is studying a bold new plan to wipe out crime, riots and other anti-social behavior. Every 6-year-old kid in the country will be given a Rorschach Test. Those who flunk will be raised by psychologists. The plan is the brainchild of Dr. Arnold Hutschnecker. He used to be a plain old MD As an M.D., he treated Mr. Nixon, himself, in the 1950s. After treating Mr. Nixon, he became a psychiatrist. Dr. Hutschnecker says psychological tests will show which 6-year-olds are criminally inclined. They would get intensive psychiatric treatment. The worst of the lot, he says, may have to be packed off to special camps run by psychologists. The brilliance of Dr. Hutchnecker's plan Is that it puts the blame for crime, riots and violence squarely where it belongs: on our mothers. OBVIOUSLY, the most important task of any generation is to raise the next generation. Nor is there any job that requires more patience, knowledge and skill than raising a child properly. You must adequately feed his little body, delicately mold his little psyche and generously enrich his little mind or the human race is in trouble. And to whom do we entrust this awesome task? Mothers! Thoroughly unskilled, totally untrained, abysmally incompetent mothers. Do you realize that today any ignorant, immature, inherently unqualified young girl can become a mother without so much as a by-your-leave to anyone? It's far easier to become a mother than a licensed driver. Or a beautician. Or a charwoman. At this very moment, the kooks of this generation are raising the kooks of the next. Is it any wonder the world's in such a mess? Such a haphazard system, if it can be called that, may have been barely adequate in The Stone Age. But In our highly technological society, there certainly is no excuse for assigning the most critical task of all to unskilled, unqualified personnel. ' So Dr. Hutschnecker is right. Skilled, qualified, highly-trained psychologists can do the job far better than any mother. UNFORTUNATELY, there aren't enough psychologists to go around. Thus only the most flagrantly botched results of motherhood can be placed in their care. But what of the millions upon millions of other children who are currently being raised by untested, untrained, unlicensed mothers? What's obviously need ed Is a Motherhood Licensing Program. If a young lady must pass a test to drive a car or become a beautician, surely she should pass a test before being allowed to assume the far more demanding role of motherhood. At a minimum, re quirements should include a degree in psychology with perhaps post-graduate couses in accounting, nutrition and advanced rhetoric. Think of it! In a single generation, with a stringent licensing program, we could wipe out not only crime and violence, but poverty, Ignorance and all kinds of unacceptable behavior. Look at the problems we face. Look at the leaders we've got. Look at the solutions they offer. It shows you what happens when a whole generation is raised by a bunch of amateur mothers. V.7 Just llk your dmm has fcssr?

Alan was last seen late, Saturday night in Casey's, one of his favorite hangouts. I personally talked to Alan that night and we mapped out much of this week's campaign strategy. Neither of us ex pected this terrible thing to happen. Sunday, I was supposed to stop at Alan's house to confirm some of our planning, as much of my notebook paper got soaked in beer the night before. When I arrived at his house, approximately three thirty Sunday afternoon, I found the door ajar, so I went in. His apartment was empty and there were signs that a struggle had taken place. A couple of chairs and a table were turned over, a lamp broken and some other junk was strewn about the floor.

The note explained that Siporin was a political prisoner being held by some people who had only the "best interest of the University in mind." It also stated that Alan would be held until after the election and was signed simply "The Real Win ners." After consulting a gypsy friend of mine skilled in the reading of tarot cards, I have come upon three possible groups of suspects the Ad ministration, the Regents or someone in one of the opposi tion parties (most of whom are extremely worried about the Yippie threat). I am demanding that Siporin be returned by four o'clock Monday afternoon. If he is not returned by then, to the ac companiment of rock music we will burn down every building on this campus. All those students who are interested or who just want to have a good time grooving with the music are invited to attend the Yippie rally to be held north of Love Library all Monday afternoon. There will be a hot time on the old campus that night. Right on! World Campus Afloat is a college that does more than broaden horizons. It sails to them and beyond.
