The December DO ''Teen Talk" column a s k e d the questions "What arc the evils of out-oftown conventions and why are ihey prevalent?" We feel that it is noc-'r>snry to point out that the question was s i s k e d with a negative tone which brouglit negative replies, and that further statements in the article might have been miscontrtied. We would like to point out that less than 5 per cent of the participants at conventions create any trouble. We feel certain that this is also true of other Youth Organizations other than B'nai-Brith which have held conventions recently, .The BBYO convention held in Omaha last month received commendations from both the J.C.C. and members' of the Beth Israel Congregation where we participated in Sahbath Services.. We also feel that the comment which closed the article may have been entirely out of place and may have, perhaps, been an error. The comment stated that the advisors c a n n o t see the problems the y o u t h see. Unfortunately such an erroneous statement casts discredit upon the many fine members of our community who aid in the youth programs. Their services in the chapters and to the convention have been invaluable. Their insight into problems of both the youth and their programs have been exceptional.
By Barbara Jess What's it like to be young, rich, famous, good-looking, and have all the girls clamoring over you? Well, I can't tell you since I'm none of those things. But if you asked a young, rich, famous goodlooking boy, he might be able to tell you. So I did just that. On December 27 the Beach Boys appeared here. They- are a pop v o c a l Kiuup. They wear striped shirt." and sing about surfing and cars. I was horribly frightened when it came lo talking to them. They kept me waiting forever nnd ever. I expected to have the chance to visit with all five of them. Instead t h e i r manager gave me only one boy to interview; so my big moment was just one-fifth of what it could have been. The'youngest in this success group is as old as f am. eighteen. His name is Carl Wilson. I asked him was how he got started. I think I half expected the regular story of how -his --group began at the bottom of the ladder and worked up. No dice! According to Carl, "As you know, surfing is a great sport. Dennis (his brother and one of the Boys) thought is would be a good idea to write a song about surfing." So they did. And it clicked— right, away. "While talking to him, I wondered if he had time to go to school and study. He said that all the other Beach Boys have finished high school, and he will be graduated from school next June. His vocal group travels only on the weekends when they Jiave their engagements. He goes to school during the week. I asked if he was having any trouble. He stated, he finds it a little hard, but he manages. He also feels that it Is imperative for everyone to get a high school diploma. All in aU, Carl Wlson is no ene to be afraid of. Success spoils tone, but, apparently not tills young men. -
We hope that the rerpnt. ;trlicle in the Jewish Press has not caused a misconception of the youth program, their leadership and advisors. Francie Hornstein and Rand Engel Presidents. Cornbelt Region BBYO SOLID SUGGESTIONS I am heartened to see a positive change in the content and format of the Jewish Press. I have long felt that the paper did not fully reflect nor meet the standards applicable to the greater Omaha area where intellectual and educational attainment is high among Jews. I cannot think of any reason why the Omaha Jewish Press should not be comparable to other better known Jewish weeklies. I respectfully suggest considering the following areas for the Jewish Press. 1. A section set aside for original short stories with Jewish themes. I am thinking for one thing of our youth who may have talent in writing; however, I would not l i m i t it only to youth. 2. Book Reviews. There is a multitude of good Jewish literature which at best gets brief mention, then falls into oblivion. 3. More editorials. Too often questions of the day are answered without r e c o u r s e to facts. I look forward with pleasure to receiving the New J e w i s h Press. Morris Hoffman

Births
By Mickey Gcrclick A From time to time I will be using this column lor observations on various topics. Loosely speaking, it could be called an editorial column, but since I'm not an, expert on anything, and since the Jewish Press and the Jewish Federation cannot be held responsible for my unexpert observations, you will be reading at your own risk. A ^Confession From Your Editor Two weeks ago when Barbara Jess turned in the Teen Talk column dealing with Youth conventions, I read it and gasped: "Barbara—are you sure these kids said these things about drinking and gambling- and loose morals at conventions?" She assured me she had reported their comments accurately, and I was faced with.a decision. "If I print this column" I thought, "I will be bombarded with letters and phone calls— from parents indignant about their children being involved in these activities —. from youth, group VIPS attempting to defend their youth programs— from kids saying most anything. To make a long story short, with the American spirit of the Free Press and Non-suppression of news, I took a deep breath, sent the copy to the printer and waited for reprecusions.' Who Cares? Well friends, I haven't needed an extra phone and the mailman has not been burdened with ex^ tra mail for me. In, fact, the only response to that column, was the letter which appears in the "In My Opinion" column today and one phone call asking why I printed such a ridiculous column.
Friday, January 15, I9(>J
I printed the column because I felt that if our teens are willing to expose some of the evils they see in their activities then it wac time perhaps for the parents and adult leaders of these teens to do some soul searching. H'liy wasn't there the expected re.-ulion I'rom parents and Youth leaders? Only a few possibilities exist. Perhaps it's true these things we hear about Parents not real' ly caring, and as long as the kids are out; of the way, let's close our eyes to what they're doi: g. Perhaps the youth leaders of our community had no basis for defending the youth programs and so remained silent. This is one possibility. The other possibility is that these parents and leaders did not read the. column and so were unaware of the criticisms which v/ere made. In spite of a professional desire to think in terms of mass readership of this paper, I would hope tftat this is the case. The f u t u r e of our Youth does not depend on Jew. ish Press readership, but in large measure it does depend on the guidance of adults who care. From where I sit it seems lhat we all ought to be asking soine pertinent questions and demand, ing some specific answers. Are our youth groups being properly supervised? Who are flic lenders and what are their qualifications? Are coavemtons necessary or valuable? Do conventions really breed this hind of behavior? Are we meeting our responsibilities to the youth ef «nr, community? .Anyone. have eny T
