Student Faces Narcotics Charges
For Second Time In One Week

By J. PATRICK MATHES
Assistant Managing Editor
David C. Doucoumes, 20, an arts and sciences
Junior at UK, who had been freed earlier this week
under $1,500 bond for possession of narcotics,
was arrested again Tuesday on similar charges.
He was charged with possession of narcotics,
illegal use of narcotics and possession of dangerous

Fingerprints were taken from the chest, but
were not Immediately identifiable.
Doucoumes and another UK student, Ed Heller,
21, an arts and sciences sophomore, were arrested
Sunday and charged with possession of narcotics.
As a result of the arrest, the University placed
temporary sanctions and an undated suspension

Doucoumes was arrested after a chest containing
narcotics and a, small box with a variation of his
surname on it were found.
In the chest police found about
pounds of raw opium or hashish, five LSD tablets,
about two pounds of green marijuana leaves and
seeds, a marijuana cigarette, three needles, a
syringe, a weight scale, a length of rubber tubing,
various cooking utensils, and a small quantity
of pills which were not classified as drugs or

Jack Hall, dean of students, stated Tuesday
night after the arrest that "without knowing the
particulars of the arrest I cannot say whether he
(Doucoumes) has violated any of the sanctions
placed on him."
If he has, Hall said that he could be subject
to suspension from the University.
Hall had met with Heller, Doucoumes and
their attorneys Monday afternoon to discuss the
sanctions to be placed against them.
Doucoumes was arrested at his home at about
4:30 p.m. Tuesday by Detective Sgt. Frank Fryman, Detective Jay Silvestro and Deputy Sheriff
Henry Vance.
Arraigned Tuesday
Doucoumes and others connected with the
Sunday night drug raid were arraigned Tuesday
and had an examining trial scheduled for April 10.
Doucoumes will be arraigned today on the
charges placed against him last night.
According to Sgt. Fryman, the arrests Sunday
and Tuesday stemmed from raids made Feb. 14
in which five more UK students were arrested.

$5,000 Value

The contents of the chest were valued by police

at $5,000.
Contents which could not be readily identified
were sent to the State Police Laboratory in Frank-

fort.

The chest was discovered by several children
in a ditch off Brookmead Drive near
Doucoumes' home and was turned over to police
when the children took the chest to adults.

Compulsory Busing Nonsensical
The most asinine and nonsensical issue flitting through Congress
these days is the compulsory busing
of students to force compliance with
school integration laws.
Successful action on the part of
Northern liberals to thwart Southern attempts to rescind an order
which would have children attending school miles from home speaks
sadly for those who have shown
able leadership in the field of civil
rights.
Those who favor forced busing
are obviously so intent on gaining
complete integration of schools in
the South that they are not stopping long enough to question their
methods. It is coining a long hackneyed phrase, but the cure can
sometimes be worse than the disease.
This is not to say that increased
enforcement of integration laws is
not needed in the North as well
as the South. But integration,
whether forced or otherwise, should
not be rudely imposed without
proper consideration of all parties
involved.
The nation's school systems are
arranged so that children can attend classes in close proximity to
their homes. Not only is this logically beneficial to the schools involved, it is most conducive to the
student and his parents.
It is manifestly unjust to pre

vent a student black or white
from attending the school he prefers. It is just as wrong, however,
to force the same student to be
herded into a bus and transported
who knows where for an education.
Simple economics must be considered as well. To impose even
more financial responsibility on already overburdened school systems
is the heighth of folly. The huge
cost of buses and their maintenance, not to mention procurement
of qualified drivers, serves only to
hasten the
collapse of
our primary school systems.
But even economics must take
a back seat to the effects on the
students involved. Racism is, and
will continue to be, largely a parental trait. That a child is jerked
from his home school without any
apparent reason will only confuse
him. If he transfers his unhappi-nes- s
at changing environments to
members of the other race, it will
do little to further the interests
of race relations.
If the quality of instruction is
really so unbalanced in Southern
school systems, then teachers
should be transferred, not students.
If Congress thinks integration
worth inconveniencing the country's black and white children,
then an adjustment of priorities
is in order.
