experience.
Parents, after frightening
the children of policemen,
teach the children officers
are to help people.
“They tell their children if
they ever get lost to go to a
policeman,’’ Estes said.
The child is now asked to
seek help from someone he
has grown to fear.
The parents explain police
officers are out only to
enforce the rules in the game
of life, Estes said.
“As long as the child fol-
lows the rules, he will be all
right.
“The child then notices
the flexibility with which
parents treat the law.
“The law states that when
a traffice light turns yellow it
means slow down; the light
will soon be red.
“So, what does the parent
do? He speeds up on the
yellow light.
“When the child questions
it, the parent comes forth
with a response: do as I say;
not as I do,” Estes said.
In the child’s puzzled
Allan Holley does mac-
rame. So do a lot of people
you may think. Holley is the
only one in San Antonio who
does three-dimensional
sculpting.
“I have always been a primitive art. In all these
cultures masks have a
continuing thread,” Holley
said.
Holley's is a modern ap-
proach to primitive art.
“Macrame lends itself to a
primitive feeling very much,”
Holley said.
Holley teaches a macrame
class at Ft. Sam Houston for
the adult and continuing
education here. He is most
tician for four years and
taught the subject for two,
said those who work in the
profession must be able to
deal with people.
“Morticians recognize we
see families when they are
not at their best. It takes
some common sense and
psychology to help the
families through this period
and to make it as
comfortable a situation as
we can,” Starr said.
Previously more emphasis
was placed on embalming,
but at an October meeting of
the American Board of
Funerals Service Education
it was decided more
emphasis would be placed
on courses geared for the
practicing funeral director -
to become more service-
oriented.
“It has been perhaps
somewhat deficient in the
way it dealt with families,”
Starr said.
At the October meeting,. !

Starr said funerals have not
increased in proportion to
the standard cost of living.
Starr said one way to dis-
pel the fears about funeral
costs is to take a tour of a
funeral home. “But because
of the fear of death, that is
the last thing people want to
do.”
Also a person’s guilt feel-
ings may influence his or her
choice of funeral arrange-
ments. Starr said in small
communites peer pressure
is also an influence.
“Funeral directors can
spot if a person is picking out
a casket with guilt feelings,”
Starr said.
A book, “The American
Way of Death” by Jessica
Mifford, shook up the
funeral business. Starr said.
Although it contained both
truths and falacies, Starr
said it did help correct what
was wrong within the
business.
“It strengthened the in-
dustry: it made us more
aware of what conceptions

opportunity to enter a ser-
vice-oriented profession.”
Although each graduate
usually has five job offers,
the beginning pay is not
high. Starr said an
apprentice earns $1.85 - $3
an hour.
However, funeral home di-
rectors earn $10,000 -
$15,000 yearly, according to
1972 statistics.

them they cannot see it,
Mickish explained.
“We must take the positive
outlook toward police
officers. They are-out there
doing a hell of a job. They
deserve all the backing we
can give them,” Jack J. <ron,
professor of sociology, said.
As in every job, a bad apple
comes along occasionally.
“This one gets all the
publicity and makes the rest
of them look bad,” he said.
Fortunately this just in the
minority, he added.
This officer’s failure gets
blown all out of proportion.
“Bad news is what sells
newspapers,” he said.
When the officers do a fine
job, they do not receive any
publicity.
“There is a lot of publicity
surrounding police brutality.
I personally don’t know
where it comes from.
.“I have had many police-
men in my classes through-
out my career, and I only see
them as men doing an im-
possible job who merit the
public’s respect,” <ron said,
said.

interested in teaching how to
see the unusual in the usual.
Most of macrame is taught
from a mathematical
viewpoint. Holley got away
from this once the basics
were mastered.
“I devised a lot of techni-
ques not in traditional
macrame books. I use a lot of
weaving, stitchery, mixed
media. I'm more after an
effect than a purist,” Holley
said.
Holley shows his work at
the Southwest Craft Center

decision whether to go with
the group or stay behind.
One becomes slavish to a
group. If the group is
contrary to society, one
switches norms.
“The road towards indi-
vidualism is difficult,” Estes
said.
Americans always have re-
sented any form of authority.
They consider themselves
free thinkers. Americans go
overboard with the idea of a
free country, William J.
Mickish, instructor in
government, said.
“We must learn that free-
dom is relative and not
absolute,” he said.
Americans feel that police
officers are pawns of a
society trying to tell them
what they can or cannot do.
“They seem to think the
will of a few is being forced
upon them,” Mickish said.
A perfect example of this is
the movie “Deep Throat.”
Many people feel it is their
right to see it if they want to.
They do not think that it is
right for a few people to tell

ley started experimenting

disadvantages of conventional rolling practices such
as sticking two regular papers together to roll one

Mortician claims public stereotypes job
represented.
Three major factors are re-
sponsible for the public’s
negative attitude toward
policemen, a psychology
professor, here said.
The socialization process
of children is a dominant
factor, Vernon P. Estes,
psychology professor, said.
Children are exposed to
conflicting ideas concerning
police officers by their
parents’ teachings.
“Parents, when they want
their children to behave,
scare them by threatening to
call the police and have the
police take them away,"
Estes said.
From this point on the
child has an intense fear of
police officers. They relate
the. officers with the word
“no,” he said.
Other important factors
are incidents blown out of
proportion and America’s
natural resentment towards
police officers.
Estes further explained

mind, this is an obvious
violation of the law.
When the parent gets
caught and receives a ticket,
the child sees the parent
argue with the officer about
who is right.
Then the child listens to
his parent say that officers
have nothing better to do
than give out tickets to
innocent people.
Thus, when the child was
starting to believe that
officers are people to ask for
help, he again becomes
confused.
“Children respond to
models, and parents are the
primary models,” Estes said.
When the child goes to
school, his peer group
becomes the dominant
influence.
The youngster now con-
forms to the group or loses
the group’s approval.
“Everyone wants to be-
come part of a group,” Estes
said.

school, the youngster knows
this is wrong; but it is his

where macrame came
from,” Holley said.

Perhaps the way people
feel about death can account
in part for their attitudes
towards those who deal with
death - morticians.
“Because we are a profes-
sion that deals with death,
people play some of the
sinister things of death on to
the persons who deal with
it,” Bryon Starr, chairman of
the mortuary science
department, said.
“People are scared to
death of death. They make
jokes like they could laugh it
away,” he said.
Those jokes have helped
stereotype the mortician.
“That stereotype is a
gloomy, sinister person
lurking in dark shadows,
wearing a dark suit with a
very austere look on his
face.”
Despite this image, Starr
feels as the subject of death
becomes exposed, with
some colleges offering
courses on the subject, the
stereotyping could change.
Another factor which in-
fluences feelings about
morticians is the belief
funerals are a hardship for
the families involved.
Starr feels funerals actu-
ally aid families because they
provide an opportunity for
families to express their
feelings of loss.
“A funeral is for the living.
It gives them a chance to
acknowledge that a person’s
life was not in vain, that he
did affect us while he was
here, and that he deserves to
be remembered.
“Some psychologists feel
a funeral actually helps
persons overcome their
grief,” he said.
He explained in cases
where the body of the
deceased is not found,
families often continue to
hope the person will return.
“A lot of people’s lives are
wasted spending their time
with false hopes.”
Also a factor which contri-
butes to the stereotype is the
fear that families of the
deceased are in an
emotional state which allows
morticians to take advantage
of them.
Starr said there probably
have been cases where this
has occurred but no more
often than in other
professions.
In addition to the general
fear of death, the belief that
funerals are a hardship for
families and the fear that
families may be taken
advantage of, there is the
seemingly high cost of
funerals.
Although the cost of fun-
erals has increased with cost
in labor and materials and is
passed on to the consumer,
