Fun, attention attract boys to club
By KERRY KELLY

Scott is 11 years old. He's a little chubby and very quiet. But when he has a pool cue in his hand, the eight ball in sight and the game at stake, he's a professional at work.
Scott Bain is one of more than 400 boys who belong to the Lawrence Boys Club.
Tom Cormack, director of the club, who has worked with Boys clubs in four towns, said recently that the local club had been in existence three years.
"We have kids come up here and stay for
us minutes, and then some come up for
them."
The local club, affiliated with the Boys Club of America, offers many activities.
"WE DO A little bit of everything," Cormack said including boxing, basketball.
Mark Sherman, Baltimore graduate student, said that a volunteer at the club, who is not a member of the club, was in charge.
"If I see a little kid walking around and he just doesn't know what to do. I find a game for him or play football with him," Sherman said. "I've learned how to play豫场. I accidentally knock the eight ball in. Little kids love to win."
Sherman said that sometimes the kids get
Carter questions Mideast borders
WASHINGTON (AP)—President Jimmy Carter has concluded that the 1967 borders in the Middle East "are dead" and that Israel, for its security, may have to retain considerable Arab territory in a peace commitment, qualified sources said last night.
The "parameters" of the administration's current thinking include the President's view that a Palestinian "homeland" would be under Jordan's
In a final settlement, Carter is said to believe Israel may have to extend its borders as far as 32 miles into the Sinai Desert and also keep considerable territory on the west bank of the Jordan River and in the Golan Heights.
The President's views reportedly were outlined by Zbigniew Brzezinski, director of the National Security Council, to Middle East diplomats after Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin had completed a visit here earlier this month.
The Arabs have insisted that they recover, in a final settlement, all territory captured by Israel in the Six-Day War of 1967.
Carter has said publicly that Israel is entitled to "defensible borders." But he didn't define them except to indicate that Israel patrols possibly could operate beyond the final boundaries, which he said were "minor adjustments" from the 1967 lines.
In outlining Carter's thinking, Brezinski is reported to have relayed Carter's judgment that the old borders "are dead" and are no longer practical in terms of a peace agreement. The President, according to Carter, said the border between Israel's favor may vary from 12 to 39 miles.
Lacking is the idea of any independent Palestinian state under the direction of the Palestine Liberation Organization. The Israelis have refused to deal with the PLO whose covenant calls for destruction of the Jewish state.
a little "cocky" and that he must discipline them.
"THEY LIKE some discipline but not too much," he said. "If you throw them out for an hour they'll take it, but for a week they won't."
The kids who go to the club come from a wide spectrum of families, he said.
"A lot of the kids who come here stay from 3:30 until 8:30 and they love it. Some of the kids, especially the smaller ones, will play with them in a game with me." They like the attention.
"It's kind of like having a lot of little brothers."
Derrick Newman and Steve Hawkins, two members of the Boys Club, come almost
"I WAS UP HERE when they built the club and I've just kept coming back," Newman said. "I come to listen to records on the equipment in the equipment at home, you come here."
Bain, a fifth grader, has come to the club three years.
"I'made a lot of friends here," he said. "I like to play pool and play in the pool tournaments. I've already won two trophies."
Voox Wahbeb, Atchison junior, said he volunteered for the club because he liked it.
"RIGHT NOW I'm supposed to be kind of a basketball coach," he said. "They had a basketball coach for maybe five weeks they quit and they were just left in a limbo."
"Lawrence is kind of notorious for not really having anything for kids to do."
"I've checked around and there really aren't too many places for kids to go. There's the Boys Club and the Community Building but they have to be divided up," Lawrence said of Lawrence. In general, the use of University facilities is only for University kids."
Cormack said about 60 boys visit the club each day. It is open from 3:30 to 8:30 p.m. weekdays and from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Saturdays.
"We have 800 to 900 kids involved in our Old Plainman program already," he said. In the program, Cormack said, he dresses up as a frontierman and visits fourth, fifth and sixth grades in Lawrence and area schools, teaching them history about Kansas pioneers.
CORMACK, who "works a little more
in 40 hours a week," said the club also
informs him.
"I have about 300 letters from kids addressed to the Old Plainman," he said.
"We're not here to compete with the Boy
who's because we're here for the same
purpose."
"WE are open a lot more hours and we don't require boys to come," he said. "We've had a lot of Boy Scouts come here on work on their archer merit badge.
The Boys Club is different from the Boy Scouts, Cormack said.
The Sigma D chair fraternity gave a Christmas dinner to Boys Club members who received
"It's the first time we had little kids around the house for a long time," she said.
"We donated six basketball to the club," Leonard said. "We're trying to raise enough money."
Members of the Boys Club range from the
fifth grade through senior high. Mem-
ber age: 13-17.
Wahbeb said, "1" hate to the old elicite of saying that I never must a bad kid, but you are not. "2" hate to the elicite of saying that I never must a bad kid, but you are not.
Carter continues criticism of USSR
WASHINGTON (AP) — In the wake of sharp criticism from Soviet leader Leonid Brennezh, the White House said Tuesday it would continue to open debate over U.S.-Soviet differences.
White House Press Secretary Jody Powell said that serious and constructive negotiations between the two countries to reduce the arms race remained possible.
Breznev, speaking in Moscow Monday, described Carter's past statements in support of Soviet dissidents as "interfering in our internal affairs."
Brezner's speech was given six days before Secretary of State Cyrus Vance was scheduled to arrive in Moscow for talks with Soviet leaders.
Carter told congressional leaders at a White House meeting yesterday that he would be running for governor.
"We do not fear open debate on the princes which govern our respective societies. Indeed we do not object to the princes on differences within our own country."
He said that the United States wouldn't allow open debate to stand in the way of a desire to negotiate to reduce the burden of force on the American and the Soviet people.
Breznev said, “Washington's claims to teach others how to live cannot be accepted
At a White House briefing, Powell said.
"I will repeat again: we will not tolerate interference in our internal affairs byМИРІЯ ПРЕДПРИЗИЦИЙ
Powell said he saw no reason to change the view that serious and constructive negotiations were still possible when Vance arrives in Moscow.
He said he didn't know whether Vance would meet with Bruznev.
