Dr. Ball Exposes Addiction Myths
HEWITT
Kernel Staff Wriler
Several "fictions" about narcotics addiction were exposed
Thursday night by Dr. John Hall,
of the Addiction Research Center, U.S. Public Health Service
Hospital, as he spoke to juvenile delinquency classes at the
Taylor Education Ruilding.
"People don't just start to use
narcotics," Dr. Ball said, it "has
to be learned." The narcotics
addict usually begins by using
marijuana and progressing to the
opium derivatives, he said.
"They (the addicts) live in
a narcotic
from w hich
they receive recognition and support" and where "criminal activities represent a fairly successful way of life," he said.
By SANDRA

sub-cultu-

Another myth, Dr. Rail said,
is that of the user versus the
seller. Reformers all start out
looking for the "evil" seller who
is causing all the problem, he
said. The truth is that "sellers
are not very different from addicts since most addicts sell
drugs," he said.

type of drug the patient is on,"
he said.
"It is estimated that in the
United States today there arc
60,000 to 100,000 opiate addicts,"
he said. Dr. Ball commented
that addiction has become a
social problem today because of
two reasons; because of its close
association with crime and because it has become a popular
subject of the mass media.
Historically, addiction is not
a new problem, he said. The
smoking of opium dates to the
17th century and according to
recent studies done by the Addiction Research ('enter "addiction h injection has been dated
in the late twenties," he said.
Dr. Rail attributed widespread use of drugs after the
Civil War to "poor medical practice and extensive use of patent
medicines containing opium."

This continued until l!JM
when the Harrison Act restricted
opium production to about six
companies, he said. At the turn
of the century there was legal
and indiscriminate selling of narcotics. Dr. Ball likened Chicago
drug stores of this time "to bars
with the alcoholics lined up out-

side."

In 1874, it was estimated that
230,000 addicts. Dr.
Rail said. "The number of addicts has decreased; however
their association with crime has
increased." he said.
"It is important to know that
addicts are not a homogeneous
Dr. Rail said.
population,"
"They come from varied strata
of American society."
Major groups include physicians and nurses, the southern
white addict, the female prostitute group, the career criminal

and the metropolitan

is mostly composed of
young adults who have become
addicted under 40 years of age.
The hospital, which also
serves as a federal prison, is one
of two federal hospitals where
patients can come voluntarily
and not have their addiction reported to the FBI, Dr. Rail said.
Commenting on the control
of addiction in the United States,
Dr. Rail said that it is "unrealistic to think of eliminating
dnig addiction in the U.S. or
anywhere. We must deal with
the problem of control."

* The College Press
This is National Newspaper
Week, a time when most of the
nation's newspapers reach deep
into their files to pull out editorials
praising the American free press
and the First Amendment that protects it.
However, this is not the case
in so far as the student press is
concerned. The First Amendment
was meant to protect the publisher
from interference from the government. This it has done.
But in the case of the student
press, the university is generally

in its legal and ethical rights to run the
newspaper in any way it pleases.
The student press, therefore,
is not, by nature, free. In fact,
the student press generally has
developed along one of three lines.
The university can choose to
run the paper as a laboratory of
its journalism department and to
put an administrative superviser
over it. The supervisor supposedly
keeps the quality of the instruction
high while making sure the students do not "commit errors" in
full public view, i.e. in print, or
embarrass the school.
In the second instance, the
school can choose to call its press
free while imposing all sorts of
subtle restrictions which make it
otherwise.
The third, and this is the case
at the University, is where the administration recognizes the value
of a free and vocal student press
and sets up the machinery to protect it from both administrative
and
pressures. The machinery varies, but it is generally
some form of a
publications board.
There are many arguments for
a free student press and most of
them are implied in the phrase
"life laboratory" a term used by
newspaper scholars to classify the
free student press as opposed to
one run as a journalism laboratory.
The most important reason the
student press should be free, however, lies in the nature of the university itself. A university is a

this search they have the right -in fact the mandate-- to challenge
old ideas and creeds and examine
them in light of fact.
In the modern multiversity, no
campus organ can do this quite
as well as the student newspaper.
No other activity reaches with regularity all segments of the campus
and thus draws them closer together in common examination of
issues. No other student (or faculty for that matter) enterprise
provides as good a forum for debate and discussion.

It is noteworthy to point out
that, almost without exception,
a free student press is cherished
and protected at the nation's leading universities. This is undoubtedly because these institutions' presidents, being persons of quality
and reason, recognize the value
of such a press.
It is not always an easy choice.
For if the student press properly
does its job it will often be a
burden to the administration allowing it to exist. In criticizing
issues, in asking for debate, in
discussing public policy, the paper
will inevitably step on toes and
cause spotlights to be focused
that otherwise would be
ignored.
But it is a mark of the quality
of many administrators, and of
in-issu-

their understanding and commitment to the nature of a university,
that a free press has developed
on many of the nation's campuses.
The Kernel has a long tradition of freedom. Even during the
time the paper was administered
by the School of Journalism, student editors were given the power
to make decisions governing the
day's news.
President Oswald, shortly after
his arrival in 1963, established the
Board of Student Publications to
institutionalize this tradition.
We have at times been critical of his Administration. But our
ability to do this only demonstrates more vividly his commitment to the idea of a university
as a place of free examination.

We have long felt it is highly

are not even admitted.
Athletes should be required to
maintain the same grade point average as other students, and should
have the same scholastic entrance

fans, but it might shift the emphasis
in college atldetics to strong intramural programs instead of
intercolgigantic

* THE KENTUCKY KERNEL, Iii.l.n,

Police Checking LB. 9s

Saturday night is about ready to throb into
Sunday morning, two Lexington policemen stroll

into a dimly-li- t
quick look around, and as casually leave.
At least that's the way it looks to the unaware. Unless a patron is obviously young or
causing trouble, he's not in too much danger of
having his ID checked by the patrolmen.
The lights are low, low enough to age some
young faces, and age is often hard to determine

Kentucky University, the chief said, and they
wear typical campus clothing, trying to look like
college students, which some of them are.

"I don't let them go
those tramps out there," he added.
What is the status of these students detectives?
"That means the works," Hale said. "They've
got guns, badges, judo, karate, and a few other
things, but they use them with wisdom."
Whatever the precautions, there arc some 600
alcoholic beverage outlets in Fayette County,
300 of them in Lexington, and successful violations are inevitable. However, checking is done
more closely near campus, Chief Hale noted.
"Since there are more students, there'll be
more violations," he added. He said he didn't
know exactly how many.
Those w ho don't make it are usually arrested
