students escape via drugs, alcohol; doubt elder reason Although the administration, faculty and parents seemed to ignore, or at least be unaware of, the situation, drug and alcohol use became common among students at Wayne. Reasons for their use ranged from Everyone else does, to There ' s nothing else to do on Friday night. Whatever the reason, many students found a means of enjoyment by using marijuana, acid, mescaline, wine, and beer. Indiana remained firm by not lower- ing the drinking age, and President Nixon refused to comply with the fed- eral commission ' s recommendations that criminal penalties be ended for smoking marijuana. (Far left) Many under-aged students found a fast trip to Ohio or Michigan an easy way to quench their thirst legally. (Middle) The question of reforming weed laws remains unanswered, despite vigorous campaigning by many interest groups. (Above left) At Wayne it was reported that students went as far as to smoke weed in the parking lots and restrooms. (Below left) According to a March report from the federal drug commission, heroin is the number two drug problem in the U.S. WAYNE HIGH SCHOOL DRUG AND« ALCOHOL SURVEY fl Ever smoked weed?

' Some think of me as a soft touch ' SENTRY: What do you see your role as being with students? LEIMAN: I think my first job is to be a friend to the students and help them in school. SENTRY: Then you don ' t mind talking to girls, even though you ' re a dean of boys? LEIMAN: My duty is to students, primarily to boys, but first to students. SENTRY: Do you see an increase in student disturbances or prob- lems? Has it really increased during yoiir years as a counsel- or? Are more kids getting into troiible? LEIMAN: I ' m quite familiar with student problems. I think there are more problems working with students today than there were five years ago. This is partly due to the fact that students to- day are more outspoken, more knowledgeable, more concerned. SENTRY: Have there been a lot of racial problems at Wayne this year? LEIMAN: I don ' t know what you ' d call racial problems. There ' s been some tension, but not a lot. SENTRY: Do you think the prob- lems at North Side had any real effect on students in other school populations and at Wayne? LEIMAN: Some effect. Anything different from the norm is going to have some effect. SENTRY: But you didn ' t notice anything like fights at that time? LEIMAN: Slightly increased, probably less patience with each other, less tolerance. SENTRY: What is due process? LEIMAN: It used to be that if the student wasn ' t following the rules the principal just kicked him out of school. In that method of prac- tice, there was an injustice once in a while. The courts have de- cided we need some type of a hearing. SENTRY: Then is it like a trial? Do you go to court? LEIMAN: We don ' t like to call it a trial. It ' s not supposed to be a legal thing. It ' s supposed to be an opportunity for the student to present his case and to hear the reasons he ' s been asked to leave school. SENTRY: Do you think a lot of students take advantage of the right to due process? LEIMAN: I think it ' s turned around. I thiixk the school ' s on trial instead of the student. I think it creates tension in schools and I think it ' s a source of great concern for administrators. SENTRY: Do you think students have too many rights? Many stu- dents feel their ri ts aren ' t publicized because the adminis- tration doesn ' t want them publi- cized. LEIMAN: I think students are more aware of their rights than their responsibilities. Your re- sponsibility at school is to learn and not to interfere with others ' rights. SENTRY: Has Wayne had a lot of due process? LEIMAN: No. I think we ' ve had a very low number. We ' ve may- be had 8 or 10. 6 — Interview
