Gatewood Gailbraith lobbies

for legalization of marijuana

BY BETSY PEARCE
Kernel Reporter

A Kentuckia n made national news
this month by proposing that far-
mers form a union to grow
marijuana to economically benefit
themselves. the state and American
people in general.

Gatewood Ga ilbraith, a third-year
law student at UK, is so convinced
that his plan will work that he has
struggled for six frustrating years
with a government he terms
“repressive” of attempts to execute
his idea.

“As a freshman at UK during the
anti-war demonstrations of 1970, I
was told to work through the system
in orderto make a point," Gailbraith
said. “After dropping out of school
on and off for five years. I decided
that the only way 1 was going to get
my message acrosswasto go back to
school and educate myself to the
extent where I could work through
the system," he said.

By working part-time as a milk-
man, Gailbraith earned money for
school and decided to become an
attorney. “I saw plicies and realities
that needed to be changed," he said
“I just now have acquired the
resources to express myself.“

Now. at age 29, Gailbraith says
that "329 system" is synonymous

Miss Lillian:
rockin’ chair

campaigner

By LEONARD KELSAY
Kernel Reporter

I‘l.AlNS,Ga.—-Ten years ago, the
people of Plains. Ga, erected a big
green and white sign stating “Home
of Jimmy Carter, Our Next Gover-
nor.“

Today Plains looks much the
same. but the sign has been chang-
ed. The word “Governor" has been
replaced by “President.”

Ten years ago. Lillian Carter,
mother of the Democratic presiden-
tial nominee, was a local celebrity.

Now she is nationally known and
knowledgeable about reporters and
their habits. She spends her mom-
ings in the newly-painted Carter
headquarters in Plains, signing
folders of peanut butter recipes and
chatting witn hundreds of tourists a
day

“I hate reporters,” she said
simply. "I‘ve talked to so many they
a“ have their little recorders. I’ve
been misquoted so many times.
Now I‘ve got it pat. I tell them all the
same thing.”

She settled back in her quilt
covered rocking chair, extracted the
names of some California visitors
and autographed another folder of
IBCIpeS.

“Come back," she said. “I’ll be
glad to talk to you. I was only
kidding about reporters. I’ll talk
about anybody but Rosalynn (Jim-
my Carter‘s wife). I'm not going to
say anything about Rosalynn.”

"There she is!"one of a steady
stream of people yelled. “ is really
her." She signed yet another folder
of .ecipes as she talked to them.

Although she is in her seventies,
“Miss Lillian," as she asks to be
called, said she felt campaigning
was not hard at all. “After you‘ve
nursed 18 or 20 hours a day, sitting in
this chair’s not hard at all." She
leaned forward and said emphatic-

ally, “But I would do anything for
him.“

with money. “The state legislature
tends to be repressive; they are out
for special and vested interests,
Gailbraith said. “They won’t even
listen to you unless you have a
strong backing and are talking
money.

“People, especially farmers,
should petition legislators to study
the idea," he said. “All I'm talking
about is a feasibility study. It has so
much potential that they
(legislators) should look beyond.

Collective state pressure would
convince the federal government to
legalize marijuana, Gailbraith said,
and aside from personal enjoyment,
legalization would benefit the
government too. "Eventually. im-
portation could be regulated by the
federal government and they would
profit enormously,“ he said.

In addition, Gailbraith said that
hard drugs would be curbed in
Kentucky because orgaized crime is
what brings in a majority of the
illicit marijuana market. If
marijuana was legalized, however,
Gailbraith says he feels that maybe
the hard drugs would leave the
market, too.

Gailbraith says one of his biggest
problems is overcoming
niarijuana’s bad publicity due to the
govemment control of the media. “I
feel that as soon as marijuana gets

’ t , ’A

good press, it will be accepted," he
said And, in order to get favorable
publicity, he needs backing to
prove to pditicians that it should be
legalized.

Earlier this month, a story on
Gailbraith and his plan appeared in
the Louisville Courier-Joumal and
Times. The story made the
Associated Press wires and he was
later interviewed by radio stations
in St. Louis, Detroit, Chicago and
even Newfoundland, Canada. “The
media is aware of the potential
implication of the plan. The way
they picked it up made me see that
they feel the time has come for
somone to initiate it,” he said.

Gailbraith says the public is ready
for a change. “The laws need to
reflect reality. They shouldn’t relect
the government’s wistful thinking,”

"Sooner or later marijuana is
gorng to be legalized," Gailbraith
said. “It might be five or ten years,
but it will happen, and when it does,
my plan is to raise every farmer’s
income before the market is
monoplized by the big tobacco
companies. Why should the already
rich get richer?" he said.

Gailbraith says the people can
legislate a program to see this
through. “Legislators are being
negligent by not checking out the
feasibility of this idea; they are

MISS LILLIAN
...(‘arter’s best campaigner?

Carter is equally fond of his
daughter, Amy, she said. “That‘s
what he‘s really worried about," she
said. “He thinks the most important
thing is to see that she goes to
school.“

“Miss Lillian" was reticent about
the campaign. “Oh. those report-
ers," she said. “They ask me about
the issues. Abortion~l don't know
what he thinks about abortion."

Instead of talking about the issues
or doing actual campaigning, “Miss
Lillian” said she would continue her
rocking-chair quest for votes. “I
might make a couple of speeches,"
she said, “but I will mainly do this.“
She reached over and hugged a little

girl, and complimented the child’s
mother on the child’s dimples.
That sort of personal fellowship is
not new to Lillian Carter. She was a
practicing nurse for many years. In
his autobiography, Jimmy Carter
said she was away almost every
day, a charge she denies.- “I really
didn‘t nurse much after the children
were born," she said, “but when you
did. it was 18 or 20 hours a day."

Sumter County residents are em-
phatic in asserting Lillian Carter‘s
influence on her son. “Carter likes to
play up his humble origins,” one
said. “So they didn‘t have an indoor
toilet when he grew up. But they still
had more than most. Lillian was
different. She made them read."

afraid to stick their necks out on
issues like this where the figures are
staggering. They should want to help
out the farmers, who are, after all,
the backbone of our existence,"
Gailbraith said.

“Legislators should be elected for
the benefit of their constituents, and
let’s face it--evey farmer can use

sic-moon more per year. Last year'

the American people spent $4-6
billion on Mexican and South
American marijuana,” he said.
“With that kind of money we could
earn 3100-150 million a year in
profits per state,” Gailbraith said,
explaining that the money could be
spent at numerous state projects,
including the often-underdeveloped
funds for helth and education. “Why,
the entire medical society would
benefit. I would make sure they got
funds for health research,” he said.
Besides turning profits for the
people, Gailbraith insists that the

er

el

state would save an incredible
amount if money that is spent each
year prosecuting marijuana users.
“The government’s ideas on
marijuana are based-on lies. We
know moreabout marijuana than
red dye number two or monosodium
glutamate, for instance. There are
just too many vested interests trying
to keep marijuana from being
publicized in its true light,” he said.

Gailbraith says that the 40-50
million marijuana users (in the US.)
realize its benefits in comparison to
alcohol, for instance, adding to its
increased popularity. “There are no
known side effects, and besides,
marijuana is conducive to people
seeing themselves. It doesn’t alter
people, just their perception,” he
said.

Furthermore, Gailbraith says that
smoking marijuana breaks barriers
and helps to relieve anxieties. He
says it is as much of a social solvent

...sees legal pot as financial boon

as money. “If people have nothing in
common, smoking definitely brings
them together. It breaks through
territorial imperatives when a joint
is passed,” he said.

“Unfortunately, the government
has theattitude that for the people to
serve it effectively, they must
remain rigid,and they should not
investigate alternate lifestyles or
perception. In essence, the govern-
ment encourages stagnation in
lifestyles," he said.

Gailbraith says the government
should not intrude on personal
decisions, yet that it has in-
tentionally mislead the public
through false publicity on
marijuana. “Marijuana, like
Vietnam or Watergate, has un-
dermined the respectability and
credibility of the legal system,” he
said.

University of Kentucky
Lexington, Kentucky

New basketball arena represents

increase in tickets for

BY J0 LUX
Kernel Staff Writer

The Wildest basketball team’s
move off campus from Memorial
Coliseum to the new Lexington
Center will present various ad-
vantages and disadvantages.

The most immediate advantage
for studelts will be an increase in
the number of basketball tickets
alloted to them, according to
Athletic Director Cliff Hagan.

In Memorial Coliseum, 4,676
tickets were alloted to students,
Hagan said. With the Wildcats
playing in the Lexington Center,
student tickets have been increased
to 6,808, he said. Asked if there will
be a problem if more students want
tickets to a game, Hagan said,
“Then there would be trouble.” He
added, however, that this situation
has never come up.

“Even at the last game last year,
with all the interest there was in it,
we mamged to getall the students in
who wanted to get in,” he said.

“There is no crunch for student
seats, only for the best seats."

Hagan said tickets will be
distributed the same way as in the
past. Students who want tickets can
pick them up at the ticket office in
Memorial Coliseum on Monday,
Tuesday or Wednesday of the week
of the game. After Wednesday any
remaining tickets will be offered for
sale to the general public, he said.

Studentseating includes part of “a
prime area”, according to Bill
Bowden, director of editorial ser-
vices for Jim Host and Associates,
the public relations consultants for
Lexington Center Corporation.

“Student seats are located on one
of the side sections,” Bowden said.

students

“They extend from the floor section
to the upper level and over into the
end zone. The floor section is a
prime area. As for the other areas,
that depends on your viewpoint."

Disadvantages of the new
basketball playing location include
the greater distance from campus
for students who will wait to the
games and the expense of parking
for those driving. ‘

Tom Minter, executive director of
the Lexington Center, said parking
rates for basketball games have not
yet been determined. There will,
however, be some charge for
parking, he said.

Explaining the color controversy
of the logo on the outside wall of the
Center, Bowden said, it is not
painted“Tennessee Orange.”

Sara Jenkins guides Panhellenic

with constructive permissiveness

BY BEV STEVENS
Kernel Reporter

In the shadows of the
Panhellenic Association, the
governing body of UK sororities,
guiding their dec'sions and watching
how they progress '3 Sara Jenkins,
assistant dean of students.

Jenkins does not try to make the
decisions of Panhellenic but tries to
work wih delegates and supports
them in whatever they attempt to
do.

“I believe students should be
respomible for student activities. I

can't make the decisions for them, it,

is their responsibility, butl will state
my (pinion. Even if they choose to
do somthing that I wouldn't do, it is
their decision and I will back them
100 per cent,” Jenk'lls said.

“You learn from mistakes and if
something fails, then they will learn
and benefit from it,” she added.

This is Jerkins‘ second year at
UK. She said she chose UK because
it was in keeping with her career
objectives, she could work with
people, the position is loosely
supervised and it satisfies her own
needs and growth. She is also an
advisor to three honorary societies
(Mortar Board, Alpha Lambda
Delta and Lirdrs).

She said her b'ggest impression is
of the amount of students who visit
the dean of students office. In most
schools, she said, the students want
to stay as far away as possible, and
working with students who aren't
afraid to talk is very special to her.

Her main goal last year was to
become aware of her job, Jaime

said This year, she would like to see
Panhellenic become more involved
on campus and offer more to the
University as well as the Lexington
community.

“Before you can make changes
you Inveto know the system. I have
tried to make the system work at
maximum efficiency," Jenkins said.

She hasn’t had time to plan very
far into the future, but one of her
objectives this year is to help
provide extensive training for
Pa nhellenic officers and to help the
delegate work at maximum ef-
ficiency. She said she hopes to
cultinue a close relationship with
the officers of Panhellenic and the
sorority pruklenb.

rebirth

The football Wildcats held their first full-
scale scrimmage Saturday and all went well.
It is unfortunate that the same can’t be said
for almost anything concerning the football

team within the past vear.

This fall provided the setting for rebirth.
The emphasis was on forgetting the past and
getting on with the business ahead. As a
result, Coach Fran Curci instituted an 11pm.
weeknight curfew and also decided to house

pla vers together.

The reasoning behind the curfew seems to
be players abused privileges last fall and
now should suffer the consequences. The
abuses are substantial—several players
have been disciplined by the Dean of Student’s
office for violations of the student code of

conduct.

Conversely. it could be argued that football

players are already separated from the

general student population, receiving free
tuition. different meals and special contacts
with influential community members.
Housing the players together, it could be

“regular" students.

The fact is, the jury is still out in regard to
the new regulations. But the coaches felt
something had to be done to present a new

atmosphere.

It is not difficult to understand why a new
atmosphere was desireable. After an im-
pressive opening-game win last fall, the Cats’
wheel of fortune took a spin for the worst. The
loss column began growing even though UK

often outplayed its opponents.

As a result, unsubstantiated rumors of point
shaving became widespread. Then “scandal”
became a household word when a former
player and team manager were charged with

kidna ping and murder.

By the time the University and the NCAA
were known to be investigating UK football,

the season was shot.

Despite the curfew and housing changes. all
is not well with UK football. Though the stage
was set for the new beginning, the script has
undergone a few regrettable revisions.

Late in the summer, three players were

the name of the game is public relations; these

It is our hope that the curfew and housing

that take place on the field.

 

Bad column

I find it extremely humorous that
you. Mr. Downey, have been unsuc-
cessful in uncovering some sinister
and-or scandalous act committed
by the University, its President, or
any other authority figure in this
first week of the fall semester.
Your sort of editorial is not unfamil-
iar to me for l have been exposed,
much to my dislike, to it for the past
four years as an undergraduate
student. It is my opinion that your
column belongs at the undergradu-
ate level. I do not wish to imply that
the undergraduate is naive. igno
rant, or otherwise. I merely feel that
your derogatory comments are un-
characteristic of what I believe to be
true of a serious graduate student.

I do not feel the desire to condemn
you for your personal outlook toward
UK, the student body, the admin-
istration or whatever it is you shall
write this coming year. Although I
can accept your ideas as an indivi-
dual who views the world different-
ly, I do not necessarily agree with
them.

It is my belief that your needs are

constructive manner. I feel safe in

Apathy

Another year’s crop of whores has
arrived for whoring. Pompous,
pseudoliberal professors will belch
the self-righteous absurdities of an
educational system with all the
usefulnes of tits on a boar hog and
you. my dear students, will swallow
every damn word in your own little
simplistic manner, because a job is
all you really want out of college.

Leaming and feelings for people
went out those awful years in the 60‘s
when great men like Nixon and
Agnew were ridiculed by radical-
freako college bums.

Idon’t like youa damn bit. I really

doubt if any of youare still alive. Can
you still cry when you listen to
C.S.N.Y. cooking “Ohio" or
“America‘s Children" or does your
stomach turn sour when you think of
dead students who tried to make it
all right?

For all you incoming freshmen;
it‘s too damn late for those dead
bastards all ready indoctrinated into
our economic and educational
system. Tell somebody the
classes you’re having to take are
useless propoganda, and that it’s not
fair for turkeys that can run fast or
lift buildings receiving special
breaks.

Fuck the bureaucracy, learn
something in spite of this school.
Don’t worry about grades, jobs and
all that shit. Get involved, write a
letter, raise a little hell. Talk to a
friend about something besides ass
and basketball.

it’s not too late to turn this school
into a place of brotherhood and
learning; makes more sense than
worrying about slices and
hadrhands.

lt’s abort time that we got it back
together and straightened this damn
mess up before apathy becomes too
comfortable.

GSA provides forum

Having spent much of last year in
the StudentGovernment (86) office,
I recognized its changes instantly.
An array of eyeopening colors
covers the dingy white of earlier
days. The directors’ desks are again
rearranged New phones with locks
to prevent long distance calling
abuse adorn the desks. There’s even
a male secretary. Everything is
glittering.

But, asthe old saying goes, all that
glitters is not gold. As I glanced at
the list of bills under consideration, I
noted that the Summer Senate was

vrewpomt
considering several items I had
recommended upon my departure.
And then came the tin in this pile of
gold: a bill title which read
“Deleting the GSA.”

The GSA, some of you may recall,
is the General Student Assembly, a
gathering of those students who
bother to come to the meetings
which the SG Constitution requires
at least twice per semester. You
may also remember the front page
headlines in the KERNEL from the
two GSA’s last Fall, and the sub-
sequent editorial call for GSA
deletion. It now appears the Student
Senate is ready to heed the KER-
NEL‘s advice. I hope they will re-
think the matter before acting.

Let's apply some reason here. If I
asked you why SG existed, you
almost certainly would tell me that

it existed to represent students, to
increase student participation in
student affairs, and to do all the
other good things that the Preamble
to SG’s Constitut'nafieys ituiststou
d0. ..-.,. J... _ ........

 

 

you how SG could best represent

students, increase student par-
ticipation, etc., you would probably
agree that seeking out the opinions
and ideas of the students would be
the best way, or at least an integral
part if the best way. The GSA is the
constitutionally designed way to
seek out those opinions and ideas.

It is, admittedly, imperfect. As I
suggested upon my departure from
office, the GSA needs some standing
rules and some regionalization. The
rules would decrease the chaos
which has characterized past GSA’s,
and holding them in dorms, Greek
houses. and apartment complexes
would bring them closer to the
students.

Perhaps it should be shelved in
favor of a constitutional amendment
which requires SG's elected officers
to spend welladvertised hours in the
places mentioned above. But the
idea of constitutionally requiring SC
to at least meet interested students
halfway—in a forum situation such
as the GSA—should not be forsaken.

The popular myth that the GSA is
a “sense of the students” gathering
needs to be destroyed. Nowhere does
the SG Constitution construe this
meaning. It says (Article VII,
Section 2) that the GSA will have
“the power of resolution with regard
to SG policy . . . and matters of
concern to the University com-
munity", andthat “the President. . .
and Student Senate shall be openly
responsive to resolutions of the
GSA." The Constitution, in this
instance, makes sense. Very simply,
it requires SC to hold mass meetings
which any student can attend, which

Going one step further, if I asked. ..does not require SG to-enact laws, .

spend money, or start wars because

of GSA resolutions, nor does it
require SG to portray those
resolutions as representative
opinions of UK’s student body.

SC is just supposed to be
respmsive. Isn’t that idea noble
enough? Shouldn’t it be, in whatever
form, a constant component of SG’s
Constitution? The answers are
resoundingly affirmative. Yet
eliminating the GSA would deprive
students of the only constitutional
chance they have for such respon-
siveness.

To dump the idea at any time
would be a grievous error. But at
this time, when communication with
its constituency is SG’s most glaring
weakness, deleting the GSA without
first enacting a superior
replacement would be a par-
ticulariy grave mistake.

Baptist center is just a mildhole

RON MITCHELL

Several years ago, the jui‘ribr
Jimmy Carters on campus i cleverly
disguised as members of the Baptist
Student Union (BSU) decided they
needed a better building where they
could congregate to pray, sing and
crack peanut shells. Conveniently
enough, the BSU owned a tract of
land on Columbia Avenue which
would have been perfect for new
headquarters. But there was one

 

commentary

 

small problem. There were a half
dozen houses, occupied by a half
dozen families, located on the
property. That was easily resolved
when the BSU informed the families
they. had a month or so to find
another residence; the land was
needed immediately to build a new
BSU building.

School had just begun and living
quarters were scarce. The Baptists,
known for their kindness and
devotion to helping the fellow man,
aided in the effort of these families
by providing a list of apartments
and houses for rent. That was the
extent of the BSU's assistance. One
family in particular was han-
dicapped in findinga new residence.
The father was employed as a
custodian at the Megaversity of
Kentucky and the mother could not
work because she had to attend to a
mentally retarded teenage
daughter. The family did not own an
automobile so they had to find a
place near campus and was unable
to spend any appreciable amount of
time in their search. Again, the BSU
offered that they had'done their part
by giving the family the list of
available houses.

At the last minute, the family was
forced to move into a one-room
basement apartment which was
cluttered with steam pipes and had
onlyL two bare lightbubs to provide
light. The joint obviously should
have been condemned years ago and

these people were hit with a monthly
rent bill of 8‘ W. The Baptists
seemed to think :i. was a personal
problem; their only objective was to
construct that new, beautiful
building.

The BSU defended the action of
tearing down the houses with the
flimsy excuse that the houses were
in a state of disrepair which would
cost money to fix. Some were, others
weren‘t. They also contended they
had to move soon from the South
Limestone building and the
Columbia property would be ideal
for their needs. They even posted a
sign declaring “Future Home of the
Baptist Student Union.”

That was two years ago. Both the
perple and the houses are gone from

that small parcel of land on
Columbia.

Some questions arise from this
classic example of Urban Rot and

construction started on the Baptists’
new home? Is there going to be a
building constructed on Columbia
Aveiue? And whatever happened to
the age-old myth that religion was
rooted to such hypocritical notions
as providing assistance to the fellow
man? Did the BSU d'scover it didn’t
have the money to build a new home
and decide to be content with the
present location?

It’s the same old bullshit from the

re old bullshitters.

Antibusing leaders say

violence is not answer

LOUISVILLE [APl—The
second year of court ordered
school busing begins today.
But the violent passion of the
antibusing movement has
waned since 1975 and its
leaders agree that nothing
can be accomplished by
unruly mobs.

Riots in south Jefferson
County last year led Gov.
Julian Carroll to call the
National Guard.

This year, antibusing

leaders“ say resistance to“

busing is as strong as ever--

but that they realize now that
violence is not the answer.

Education is the key, says
antibusing leader Bob
Deprez, who has urged
protesters to get involved in
politics, attend school board
meetings, write congressmen
and use peaceful methods of
dissent.

After all, he says, the riots
last year--and the many
subsequent marches--
accomplished nothing more
than " getting national
notoriety for the protestors.
