" ' He feels brewing a strong po tion is a way to stir people enough to face up to the problems their i, teenagers have and to help them. -Calitri sayt this is the purpose of his new novel. Thousands of persons have been stirred enough to btty the book, perhaps because the catalyst Cali trti uses ht his novel is the dis covery of a high school sex club , in a small AmeHcan town Calitri denies he used the sex club situation merely fo insure ' book sales. i "I've been accused of cashing in on a hot subjects," he satd, "mainly because MGM paid $200, 000 in a pre-publication deal for screen rights to the book. "But this is my seventh novel and tf I were out td tnake money, 1 would have done it before-" Calitri says he used the sex club idea for its shock value, to force readers to* do some hard flunking about the problems teen agers must ttce.

And in the novel he su esses the smother ing effect a security minded so ciety can have on a teacher. What, he asks, should be the re lationship of the teacher, pupil and community? How much, in the final analysis, does a teacher owe to his young charges? When it comes to helping pu. pits. Calitri would like to see more parents listen to teachers rather than fighting them at PTA meetings. A stickler for a form of disci pline based on respect, Calitri al lows his pupils in the Puerto Ricnn-Italian sector of East Har lem to call him "Charlie." But when one of them steps out df line, he says, "You better call me 'Mr,' until you learn some respect."
