WHERE ARE 1975 was punctuated by assaults on the windows throughout the school. Once, there were 75 windows shattered on weekend of vandalism The movie, “American Graffitti” was set in 1962, America was in a transition stage; an era of change, from Eisenhower to Kennedy, stagnation to progress. It was the end of rock'n'roll and the creation of Rock. Now, in 1975 we are again in an era of change. Recession, morality, Watergate and cover-up trials are all words commonly found in newspapers and conversa- tions. Predictions about the economy are grim and the older generation is apprehensive about handing over our civilization to the “immoral” younger generation. Here we are in a modernized version of “American Graffitti . 1975 marks the midst of a transition, the end of an era. Where will it lead? Where are we going? ir on nox 3 OU GOING? WHERE A Q

School files are open to eighteen year old students, and to all parents on demand. According to a 1967 Supreme Court ruling, youths tried in courts arc entitled to all rights that are guaranteed to adults by the Constitution. Youths are entitled to legal counsel, to cross-ex- amine witnesses, and all other adult court privi- leges. While juveniles are entitled to the same priv- ileges as adults, they are also subject to the same penalties. A juvenile can be prosecuted and tried as an adult for adult crimes. This court ruling served as the initial spark that ignited the movement for children’s rights. Eigh- teen year-olds have the vote, can legally buy beer, and can give consent to surgery and other out of the ordinary medical treatment. The ordinance also frees the parents of an eighteen year-old from liability for his bills. Another result of this ruling is the “Family Edu- cational Rights and Privacy Act” which lists cer- tain provisions for a student’s privacy. These provisions involve student’s files, which contain achievement, intellectual, psycological and apti- tude test scores, and teacher evaluations. The provisions give eighteen year-old students the right to see these files, and if they see fit, the right to challenge the contents. If any of a student’s school records and or arrest and conviction records are challenged, and the case is won by the student, these files' distribution to police, banks, credit bureaus and prospective employers can be prohibited. Student’s rights were also pressed in Culpeper schools when it was made known that married students had every right to participate in all ex- tracurricular activities. Discrimination against married students is unlawful and the abolition of this discrimination resulted in, not only a married senior Maid of honor in Homecoming, but also many married students’ participation in clubs and sports. Even the written policy that permits the school to prohibit a pregnant student from attending school has been altered. There is an understanding that the student must write a letter to the School Board announcing her pregnancy, and the date she is due to give birth, with a doctor’s attestment. The Board can then decide when she should leave school and when she could re-enter, after the birth. The unwritten policy put an end to the traditional expultion of pregnant students. One point of concern that has remained unal- tered is the fact that Virginia is one of the thirteen remaining states to permit corporal punishment in educational institutions.
