La w and order an; two words that have cecn used together 0 longthat we have come to think of them as synonyms.Thev are not synonyms, however; they are far from being. Law is the

set of. rules made by our elected represent at.ives ; order is the peacefulcondit ion which should come about when these rules are enforced.

Law enforcement in Macon is a problem. The inability to enforce lawsadequately may be seen in the mushrooming crime rate. In 1969 Maconled all other Georgia cities in crime growth. According to the FederalBureau of Investigation, 1969 crimes showed a 13.3 per Cent increaseover the 1968 statistics.

What can be done to kMP crime down? No one seems sure. Onepartially solved its crime problem by having its police officerscars even when they were off duty. The sight of patrol cars in unusualplaces (e. g., the supermarket, the drive-in, schools) acted as a deterrentto crime. Seeing police officers going about doing ordinary chores alsoserved to increase respect of the community for them. This city foundthat the funds required to buy more patrol cars was well-spent.

Lack of respect for policemen ts a catalyst for the growingcrime rate. Many parents give their the impression tliat policeofficers arc out to get them, not to protcct them. Some parents even usethe police as a threat to make their children behave. Others teach that itis all right to break a law as long .as a policeman isn't watching. A majorpart of any child's upbringing should be teaching him respect for the law,and ils enforcers.Educators should also take the responsibility of teaching studentsabout the law. Early in high school, a required course in law and itsenforcement should be offered every student. The course should includean understanding of laws (including why and how they arc made.) astudy of law enforcement, and a look at the effects and punishments ofcrime.Our increasing crime rate should prove to us that there is no time tobe lost- In taking act ion agains t crime.Think of Justice BeforeHeeding Law and OrderLaw lind order has been the cry ot" q uite a few politicians and theirsupporters in the last few election years.Promising reform, these men when in office nevemade no great improvement In law enforcement.

But to hear the complaints there has to be someone who listens and isresponsive. During the peace marches of November the President watch-ed a football game on television and during the war hawks' march he wasat Camp David, Maryland. No problem can be solved by denying itsexistence.

This nation has only six more years until its 20ath anniversary. Fewcivilizations have been able to survive more than 200 years before theywet" destroyed by internal decay.

We are standing at the crossroads. And the decisions we make nowwill make the difference between triumph and destruction.

"Getting Straight"by Ken Kolb

Harry Bailey is a graduate student at a SanFrancisco University, impatiently waiting out thelast quarter before he gets his teaching credentials.He thinks his professors are all wrong in their ap-proach in teaching English and Harry is itching forthe chance to be able to teach "straight" Englishand show the profs just how wrong they are.

To make some money in the meantime he takeson the job of masterminding a publicity stunt for adepartment store. He rushes from studies to storeunder the wrathful eyes of the store's manager-tyrant.

And if this isn't enough to handle, Harry is try-ing to straighten out: his love life. It seems that hecan't decide whether or not he loves his girlfriend.

Harry's desperate attempts at "straightening"out pis life are the subject of the book, "Getting
