J The penologist and sociologist ■have tried to approach the subject in terms of the complex liactors involved.

"Any measure intended as a ■deterrent must take into consideration the psychological, [physical and social characteristics involved in the issue.

"Preventative measures, to lave any meaning, must focus pn the group of individuals Ihat are predictably involved. It is of no use to impose a deterrent law, that attempts to prevent the act of a crime upon those who would not commit the crime in the first place. Only those who would commit the crime are to be considered in formulating a deterrency law," Lane said. This of course is where the controversy actually arises— capital offenders are a most difficult to define group. In England between 1900 and 1950, one out of every 5 homicide suspects committed suicide. Homocidals, also, have a note- able low recidivist rate. Thus it becomes evident that "any classification of potential capital offenders is tenuous at this time," he said. "This is not to argue against the deterrent value of a law. Some laws, for example, those pertaining to certain types of larceny, that fall into a predictably restricted range are quite effective as deterrents," Lane said.

The conference, sponsored by the FOGHORN and the San Francisco News-Call Bulletin, hosted over one hundred prep journalists representing fourteen junior and senior high schools in San Francisco. The Crusader took down first place in the overall competition, followed by the Polytechnic Parrot and the George Washington Eagle. The award was made on the basis of outstanding make-up, good reporting and excellent news coverage. Judges were Miss Margaret Ames, Lecturer in Journalism at the University, Ed Orloff, News Editor of the News-Call Bulletin and Tom Eastham, Assistant News Editor.

Jean Giraudoux' comedy "The Apollo of Bellac" and Christopher Fry's "Thor, with Angels" are to be performed in the "round" using simple, stylized sets designed by director John Collins.

In the afternoon they must be secured from the College Players Office in Campion Hall or by calling SK 2-1000, extension 249.

American newspapers are "bogged down by their own cliches," a veteran correspondent told 100 high school journalists here Saturday night. "The newspaper business is not satisfying the public needs at it might," Albert M. 'Bud' Colegrove, western correspondent for Scripps-Howard newspapers, said in the featured address at the Phelan Hall Awards Banquet of the third annual San Francisco High School Press Convention. Colegrove laid the blame for what he termed "superficial" reporting in much of the nation's daily press on a reliance upon pat journalistic slogans. "Take the cliche: 'Local News is Always the Best News,'" Colgrove said. "This is overdone of some papers past the extent of boring people: it hinders their knowledge of the world around them." "When I read that an intercontinental ballistic missile can reach 5,000 miles with no effort, then that's a pretty local item to me," he said. One of the biggest mistakes —and the* "greatest shame"— of the newspaper business today is its reliance upon "objective reporting." "This idea has degenerated into a tendency to swallow everything people in authority tell you," he told the assembled prep school journalists.
