"SATISFACTION f i. ) Brie t -a -Brae L J rKI ALWAYS Orem-Genevs Times by Leon Frazier Jr. I am highly distrubed by reports of motorcycle gangs that are taking over Provo. Last week I ran into one such gang member when I jolted into a parking space on Center StK and a fellow in a blue gang uniform came wizzing behind me on a motor-b&e nearly tearing away my rear-end bumper in ,L!rviT tS he Passed me' the you"g scoundrel swung to Sash? WeaP" at my Ure' in a" apparent attempt Upon examination of my tire, I found only a white cnaiK mark. The young hoodlum was no doubt bombed ? Lhl,S mind with a wield dru such as caffine. Just think of my luck! In his confusion the doped-up doped-up misfit had evidently loaded his slashing tool with chalk rather than razor blades! What are we to do, after all, if themotorcycle gangs should decide to expand their territory into Orem? So far we are fortunate. Only Provo'sCenterStreet suffers from the activities of the swarming and ever-present motor-bike members. To protect Orem, we local citizens should be ever vigilant and awake, unless of course it's past our bed time. Perhaps education is the answer. Why not send those motor-bike tire slashers to college, where they can throw away their deadly poles and use their chalk to learn such useful trades as Sociology, Oral Hygiene, Graduate School Afghanistan, and the' History of Modern Impressionistic Art? But maybe that still wouldn't adequately solve the problem. Last week I read an advertisement from a tire manufacturing manufactur-ing firm in New York that brought up the philosophical question ques-tion as to whether there is really a life after college. It seems that all those with experience and no college education hold all the technical and skilled jobs in this country, and those with college degrees are better off sweeping sidewalks, side-walks, shoveling manure, handing out parking tickets in Provo, and getting hired to manufacture tires in New York. College-educated sociology majors who are anxious to exercise their peculiar liberal-arts vocabulary would be quick to point out that parking tickets are a form of "negative reinforcement. In other words, parking tickets are a form of spanking you in the pocket book. Do negative reinforcement work? Many sociologists and parking-ticket receivers are quick to assert a negative view of negative reinforcements. Likewise, many of these same people have been known to express positive views of positive rein-forcments. rein-forcments. But what exactly is a 'positive reinforcement? If a motorist motor-ist removes his car from a street before the time limit, should a city parking 'engineer go up to him and shake his' hand and give him a friendly pamplet? No, that's not the answer. That's too impractical, and besides, the politicians already have that racket reserved for themselves. If someone can find a racket for me I'll be happy to play them a few sets of tennis. Unless of course it rains. But hark, I believe I have the answer. To promote positive reinforcements, and to prevent the scurrious activity of ticketing cars, why couldn't local government govern-ment officials encourage motor-bike stooges to wash and wax all the cars that obey the parking rules? Think how that would encourage traffic to obey traffic regulations and frequent the sponsoring cities! Being practically practical, I suppose that solution wouldn't really solve anything. As I write notes for this column all over this funny piece of paper I found on my windshield, I notice that it looks like it's going to rain again. Symphony Announces Sp. Concert The Utah Symphony has announced an-nounced a special concert of popular favorites at popular prices on Wednesday, October 30, at 8 p.m. in the Salt Lake Tabernacle.
