European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - April 2, 1986, Darmstadt, Hesse Page 18 the stars and stripes wednesday april 2, 1986 today s crossword Jim Ifti-?.-s-.v a i Voli of Trow "".i. In Biffi control goes of High schoo by Ellen Goodman the pickets arc gone now. So arc the television Cam eras. At the sprawling Jean Baptiste Point disable High school the Loudspeaker announces meetings of the Pep squad and the senior lunch committee. And in room 156, the medical clinic is open for sports checkups Eye exams bumps bruises and birth control. Back in september a newspaper ran a headline about this clinic Pill goes to the juror brought More attention to the Black inner City High school in Chicago than it had received since opening Day in 1935. Judy Steinhagen was t surprised at that. To this Day the pragmatic principal of disable a school with a 58 percent dropout rate admits people who left High school 30 or 40 years ago and Don t have teen agers were shocked. I will be the first to say that the schools probably should t be in this birth control. But kids today Are sexually Active. It s a band Aid this particular band Aid is trying to Salve the injury that comes to children when they Bear children. It is something that happens commonly in this neighbor Hood. The South Side High school which graduated the mayor of Chicago now draws from what is arguably the poorest Urban neighbourhood in the United slates including a massive housing project of 28 buildings housing about 1,000 people each. About 80 percent of the families live below the poverty line. Here in 1983, 436 babies were born to women Between 10 and 19 years old 300 of them to women of High school age. Most of them joined the ranks of welfare. In 1985 alone american families like these families that started when the Mother was a teen Ager Cost taxpayers $16.6 billion. It is these numbers and these Cost figures which have pushed the Issue of teen age pregnancy into the headlines and encouraged experiments like the one at disable. Today there arc Only 40 High school clinics that give birth control counselling. Only nine in the country actually dispense condoms and pills. Nevertheless the opening of this clinic hit a sensitive nerve. Americans still argue about the Best form of Protection for their Young. Many of us think there is an inherent conflict Between encouraging teen agers to say no to sex and making it safer when they say yes. Disable for its part does t ignore questions of values. The posters in the Hall advertise seminars called becom ing a Man for Guys Only and decision making should i or should t i. The very first form of birth control listed in the Sheet in the clinic is saying even or. Doris Mcculley clinic director and a 1965 graduate of disable says there s not a solution. There s a significant role in teaching moral ethics. But right now we need to Stop the the Tourni Quet As they see it and apply it is birth control easily available free and confidential. We see everything from asthma to Early labor says the forthright nurse practitioner Louise Mccurry who wishes the Public and press would care As much about teen age health As teen age sex. In the first two months 10 to 15 percent of the kids we screened could t see Well enough to read. We had six cases of diabetes a lot of but she adds with pleasure that the birth control pro Gram is working. At first it was mostly boys who came in for condoms then girls who came in with a Friend for now she says it s real Clear that the num Ber of kids who Are pregnant this year has they won t do an official count until the first year is Over in june but anecdotal evidence suggests that there is now one pregnancy for every six last year. Part of the Success Mccurry admits is the Public attention suddenly focused on disable. The children Are aware that it s not an of thing to become the attention of clinic workers has certainly helped. We do a lot of but the biggest difference Mccurry believes is that the boys Don t run out of condoms the girls Don t run out of it in t possible to guarantee a Safe course through adolescence to adulthood. We can t rewrite every child Hood restructure every family on the South Side of Chi Cago. Sometimes we Are left with imperfect options. The disable Experiment is just that an Experiment. The Pill has gone to school. As the principal describes it this is a remedial program for kids at risk. C Boston Globe Washington Post the Case of the non Barking dog by Art Buchwald Sherlock Holmes was studying the newspaper. No matter where one goes to track Down the secret of the Marcos Fortune the Trail always leads Back to the Why is that i asked him. I m not sure Watson. Let s see what we know already.
