Editorial:

MEDIA CREATE FALSE IMAGE

In the features magazine section of the May 17, 1970 New Ycffk Times, there is a sketch of Schreiber High School with a giant syringe and the paraphenalia for c o o k i n g h e r o i n superimposed.

In an Associated Press news release printed in the June 23. 1971 issue of the Oregonian (an Oregon newspaper.) there ap-pears, "At Paul D . Schreiber High School in the Port Washington, N.Y., a teacher c a u ^ t a student cutting heroin in class."

These are examples of the mass media creating images of Schreiber which are inaccurate and derogatory. Mr. William Russel l commented on these misrepresentations of Schreiber by saying, "As the principal of the school, I have no knowledge of a student ever being caught with heroin or paraphenalia in class or in schod."

In the case of the New Yorit Times magazine, the misrepresentation was clear because it was in a picture. In the case of the A.P. release, it was clear because it was in the form of a statement that was an absolute fiction.

An Analys is O f

Mail & Reporter Story The Porl Mail and Reporter, one of Port Washington's local

newspapers, recently carried a front page news article about the arrest of two youths for possession of drugs. The article said that the two youths, one a student at Schreiber, were loitering b ^ l nd the administration building when they were arrested. It then stales that •Sixth precinct detectives, who are investigating the case, said they have noticed thai warm weather and additional free time for students has increased the niunber students congregating on the campus lawns " Why does this-statement appear in an article about drug abuse? The obvious unstated implication is that warm weather and additional free time for students encourage drug abuse at Schreiber.

The article then states that "the alleged "free time' mentioned by police may be caused by the new system of 'modular scheduling'started by theschool this year..." Once again, there is an unstated implication. This statement, when paired with the statement that additional free time for students encourages drug abuse, implies that modular scheduling encourages drug abuse.

Thus, the Port Mail and Reporter, by making a few statements in the right order, has led its readers to the conclusion that modular scheduling is contributing to the drug problem at Schreit>er. However, the statements which the article presents as proof for this conclusion are not supported.

The statement that additional free time for students has in-creased the number of students congregating on campus was altributed to Sixth Precinct detectives However, according to a Sixth Precinct policeman, this statement could not have been made by someone from the Sixth Precinct, The policeman said that '"Sixth Precinct detectives are not concerned with students loitering on school grounds. 1 don't see how a Sixth Precinct detective would have said that. It was probably a misquote." The Mail and Reporter also printed a picture of students sitting on the grass outside of Schreit>er. However, unless we are supplied with a picture of the same area during a school day last year, there is no way for us to determine whether the numl>er of students sitting outside Schreiber has increased or decreased. Furthermore, there is no support for the statement that any change in the number of students on the campus lawns was caused by the ad-ditional free time which students now have.

The article also linked drug use to students' congregating on the campus lawns. There is no support for this anywhere in the ar-ticle.

A Sixth Precinct policeman said: " I don't see how modular scheduling could affect drug use. It seems totally illogical." fCxactly.

Sometimes the misleading images presented to the public are not clearly stated. Connections are only hinted at. The article in the October 21, 1971 Port Mail & Reporter was of this type. It implied that there was a connection between drug abuse and modular scheduling at Schreiber.

The most basic way this implication was made is that thearticle talked about both. People naturaUy assume that a news story is coherent. They assume the parts of it are related. The first part of the story (four column inches) concerns the recent drug bust on campus. Next, there is a transition paragraph (one inch.) The rest of the article (ei^it and one half inches) is devoted to a discussion of modular scheduling. People reading the story see all the talk of modular scheduling in the context of the drug bust.

This coloring of the modular scheduling part of the article is intensified by the choice <rf headlines for the article. The front page headline for the second page continuation is. "Arrest 2 on Campus." There is not a single word (m page two about the arrests. Almost all of page two is devoted to an interview with the principal of the school. The principal talks about how welt modular scheduMng is "working." The part of the article on the drug bust and the headlines suggest to the reader that modular scheduling is not really working. A reader is led to doubt the principal and connect the working of modular scheduling with the drug bust.

The overall inaccurate image a reader gets from the article in the Port Mail & Reporter is that modular scheduling somehow, or in some way, is linked to durg abuse.

Detective Lieutenant Ryan, of the Port Washington Police Department, told the Schreiber Times, " I don't think that the change in scheduling from last year to this year had any effect on drug use." He went further and said, "There has been no increase in drug abuse since last year, to my knowledge..."

Both the drug situation in (he community and modular scheduling deserve the independant thoughtful attention of the townspeople. If the people of the com-munity have a misleading image of the nature and scope of the drug abuse problem, then there is no hope of a sohition being found.

Decisions Depend On Clear Thought If the mass-media create misleading images, they are building road-blocks to

ciearthinking. In order to make sound decisions about the issues that face the community, people need to have a clear understanding of each issue. Journalists and people woiiting with other news media must be careful to present only clear and accurate representations of the issues. Citizens who expect the media to inform them also have an obligation. They must be critically aware of the images that the media are presenting.

The fwo-fbced repeat NVTUmors to seem wise.

But the truly wise never repeat rumors. i Letters to the Editor

To the Editor, Among all the clamor over the

deterioration of our En-vironment, som^ow the con-tribution of the average in-dividual to the problem is often overlooked.

No one likes to think of himself as a polluter. It is naturally assumed that practically all pollution can be blamed on big industry ,and government. Few people will admit to being a part of the problem, yet until this is ck>ne, and individual culpability is admitted, genuine and lasting preservation of the quality of the' Environment will be impossible

The problems don't necessarily have to be hazardous ones; I personalty think that paper covered ground is just as disugsting as unnaturally gray skies.

It's pretty pathetic when in order to do the simplest and most Natural things, like sitting against a tree or lying in the grass, it is necessary to make a careful suveillience of the im-mediate area to assure yourself that you will not sit on a still-lit cigarette butt or a piece of moldy chocolate cake.

There isn't a single student ( or teacher) in Schreiber who is not capable of walking to a garbage can or holding onto his crap until he is near one. There are more than 300 garbage cans in andaround Schreiber. yet none are used to their maximum capabilities and our front lawn is covered with a thin but visible layer of papers, cigarette bulls, Dip tops and other evidence of the Slob bus Americanus

It's really not so hard. I think 1 Lke the way Pi^o said it beat: "We have met the enemy and he is UB."

Gordon F. Helman

To the Editor: In case you didn't reaUze it,

another moratorium passed .Don't Let your conscience bother you too much, because not many demonstrations were held elsewhere. Most anti-war groups

in New York are directing D efforts towards one. largea demonstration to be held Saturday, November 6 in ^ York City.

But don't wait until tl There's something you can H now and do every day: Boyi products of companies who f for the war machine. On of Tirst things you can do is to SI buying Hostess foods in cafteria. Hostess and V derbread (which is the lar( sellmg bread in America) both divisions of I .TT. vA mokes some of the most inhui war weapons known for ua Vietnam. One of those is calk sensory bomb. It is a b| dropped from an airplane i controlled by a machine. Ai ' plane flies, a machine tria detect any movement on ground. As soon as any is se^ the bomb is activated j -dropped down. Any movemf-that a child, of a soldier, of a If or of a woman, can set this bf off. The machine ct distinguish between them. V^. you buy "Big Wheels" mi. cafeteria, do you realize youl giving money to the comji-' that makes these bombs''

These are some other prodi you should know about. 1 heard ofnapelm, but what ik white phosphorous? W>-phosophorous ignites itself CONTACT WITH THE A Frank Hervey reported in War Vietnam:

"In the civilian hospital in I Tho, I saw a man who had a ji of white phosphorous in flesh...it was still burning."

I think it's time people wab and realize that demonstril once a month is not enoi T^ere are thousands of a panies involved in mak Pentagon products When ; support these companies, support war and all the inhm weapons they make. They part of the war mad for profit-show them there ii profit in war. As consumers, have the power to do this.
