Botts said that, although he enjoyed
newspaper work, money was the main
reason he quit the Journal.
"I took about a week or 10 days to
think about it. I enjoyed every day I ever
worked on a newspaper, but I had a family
to think about. In those days, you could
make more teaching than you could on a
newspaper.
For Botts, teaching provided ah oppor
tunity for a pay raise without the necessity
of moving for by 1966, he had finished
building his own house, an endeavor which
took him from 1952 to 1962.
MWe were pretty poor at the time."
He started out with a basement house
and built it Up gradually, he said.
"My wife drew the plan, and we hired
our neighbor to put Up the frame. I had
some help, and I had the plumbing and
wiring done, but I did most of the work.
We could only build as fast as money came
in. Wed have a flurry for a while, then
nothing would get done for several
months.
Difficult transition
Botts said he found the transition from
working journalist to teacher difficult.
"You have to think differently. You
have to be more careful, because it's really
easy to mislead students. Something you
say in a casual converstaion can be devasta
ting later on. You have to gear down a
Caribbean island as residents continued to
flee their homes.
Premier Milton Cato called the fresh ac
tivity a "definite eruption." He said steam
was shooting 20,000 feet into the air, and
the situation "is ominous. He also said
steam was seeping from the ground at
Chateaubelalr island, on the northeast
coast of St. Vincent.
There were no reports of lava spilling
from the Soufrlere crater.
An estimated 10,000 residents have fled
to relief centers.
Cato said experts were trying to
determine if the explosions were caused by
trapped steam that would pose less of a
danger.
Soufrlere s last major eruption occurred
in 1902, killing about 2,000 persons. The
volcano was dormant until 1972, when it
rumbled to life, forcing the evacuation of
the immediate area.

little and adjust your expectations to class
levels."
Teaching, he Said, is "harder in a
different kind of way. At the end of every
day on a newspaper, it's over. Nothing is
carried over. But teaching, you may have
some things drag on for two years."
Gratification for teachers, he said, is less
obvious than in the newspaper business.
"A lot of teaching is putting people in a
position to learn. You really shouldn't take
so much Credit. For a lot of students, it's
only a matter of stepping back and getting
but of the way. You're never quite sure of
your successes or failures."
Enjoys teaching
Despite the absence of Immediate grati
fication, Botts said, he enjoys teaching be
cause of "working with people. . . There
are so many different, interesting people
around. You see so many different stages
of maturity."
The students he deals with now, he said,
are "a lot different" from hose he went to
school with.
"It seems like students today were a lot
more blase. They used to be excited about
everything, but not any more. It used to be
that, if someone got a job offer, they'd run
all the way to the application. Now,, if a
student hears about a job, he might look
into it and he might not."
Botts, 54, and his wife, Dorris, have
four children.

Germany shackles press
Berlin-East Germany slapped massive
new restrictions Saturday on Western
correspondents, including a ban on "man
in the street" interviews which have not
been cleared by authorities.
Effective immediately, Western corre
spondents must inform the East German
Foreign Ministry 24 hours in advance be
fore traveling outside East Berlin.
All interviews with East Germans must
first be cleared with authorities, the party
newspaper Neues Deutchland announced.
Correspondents also will be required to
show accounts for all income and expendi
tures made in East Germany, Neues Deut
schland said.
Western observers said the new restric
tions are apparently aimed at increasing
police surveillance of foreign reporters in
East Germany. The country is already con
sidered one of the tightest in the Soviet
bloc for news gathering by Western
reporters.
