Marijuana Makes The Scene Even At UK
The result is possibly the
most widespread abuse of a federal law since prohibition.
Uccause it is illegal, the actual number of people smoking
pot is hard to determine.
The National Student Association puts the figure at 10 million. Dr. James Goddard, Commissioner of the Food and Drug
Administration says about 20
million Americans have tried
marijuana and a Gallop poll of
college campuses produced an
estimate of 300,000.
The estimation of marijuana

The fact is, marijuana is used

MOREHEAD PROFESSORS
ASK AAUP INVESTIGATION
By DARRELL RICE
Most of the activity in the
Morehead State University compulsory ROTC controversy is now
occurring between faculty members and the university's admin-

istration.
However, the second edition
of the Student Poll, an ad hoc
newspaper at MSU that grew
out of the controversy, made its
appearance this month.
The main issue now concerns
an American Association of University Professors( AAUP) investigation in process at Morehead.

Richard Norman and Prof. Kenneth Vance, the three professors
who were asked to resign or

Pratt? Mulloy Cases Continue
A federal judge in Louisville
overniled Friday charges from
draft resist ers Don Pratt and
Joseph Mulloy that the cases
against them for having refused
induction were unconstitutional.
Pratt, of Lexington, was a
University student until this semester, and Mr. Mulloy, of Louisville, is a former Appalachia Volunteer now with the Louisville
Peace Council.
Both cases are being handled
by Rolnrt Stiller, associate professor of Law at the University.
Prof. Sedler challenged the
legality of the selection of the
grand jury that indicted the two

the charges against Pratt and
Mr. Mulloy dismissed.
Federal Judge James F. Cordon refused to dismiss the c harges

and also refused to move Pratt's

trial to Lexington.
Prof. Sedler challenged the
constitutionality of the draft law
itself on several grounds.
He pointed out that while
black people constitute 7 percent
of Kentucky's total population,
they make up only .02 percent

of the members on Kentucky's
draft boards.

Judge Cordon said of this,

"I'm getting filled to my ears

Prof. Seiller said Sunday, "the

Who says collide students are
indifferent? The 200 volunteers
in the Lexington Tutorial Project devote many hours each week
to show disadvantaged Lexington
children that they eare.
The Project started four years
ago when some UK students decided to form an organization to
help disadvantaged children, according to Carolyn Atkinson, education junior and chairman of
the project.
She sees tutoring as a meaningful experience for college students, because the children's enthusiasm "nibs off" on their
tutors. "By tutoring regidarly, the
tutors help build up confidence
in the children. It is important
to them to know that someone
cares for them."
The Project, which began at
Manchester Center, now serves

"We work with children from

things to develop sound relationships," according to Miss Styles.
Facilities at the Manchester

and tutor at the program.
"Currently there are about
52 tutors and 60 tutces. Most of
the children are elementary

some junior high students," she
said.
Facilities include: a gym, library, kindergarten room, kitchen

tutoring. Miss Dempsey noted

Pot Problem Spreads Across The Country

Continued from Pajfe One
Health Department said marijuana use lias been increased on
Ken tuck campuses in the past
six months. An official of the
department's drug abuse office
said evidence of marijuana has
been found at UK, the University of Louisville, Western Kentucky and Kentucky Wcslcyan.
(Several persons were arrested
in a recent crackdown at West-

ern.)
During the recent session of
the legislature, a committee was
approved to study drug use on
Kentucky campuses.
Capt. Elwood G. Gordon, one
of the chief detectives of the
Lexington
police department
said most marijuana use in the
city is "in the colored section."
Capt. Gordon, who has attended seminars on narcotic
abuse in Washington said lie
didn't think students used it
(marijuana) too much. "We
don't feci it's a big problem . . .
both UK and Transylvania arc
pretty clean . . . but you never
know how clean," he added.
There was a recent drug
crackdown at Crane's, a local
restaurant, but Capt. Gordon
said, "no students were involved."
Marijuana is said to be the
second most popular intoxicant
in the world behind alcohol. It
has been used in various countries for four thousand years.
It was introduced to the
United Stales by Mexican laborers about 1 0 ()'. In 1037, after
lurid accounts in the daily press
of the tifects of marijuana, it
was outlaw d and classified as a
narcotic.
Today marijuana can be obtained on or nearby any major
university or in any metropolitan city. Local users usually
1

purchase it through friends who
in turn may be having it shipped
in from California, New York,
Chicago, Detroit or arc growing
it in their back yard.
Marijuana refers to the flowering top of the female hemp
plant, a plant that will grow in
almost any climate. Because
Kentucky used to be the center
of the United State's hemp industry, prior to World War I,
hemp plants grow wild here.
Hut local users say the quality
of Kentucky grown marijuana is
relatively poor compared to that
grown in Mexico or California.
Pot can be rolled into a cigarette (a joint) or smoked in a
pipe. It can also be consumed
in tea or baked in cookies. The
effects usually last three to four
hours.
In most cases, the user experiences a mild eurphoria characterized by feelings of well being, contentment and relaxation.
The user appears to be mildly
intoxicated and often laughs or
giggles inordinately. Thoughts
become rapid and disconnected,
time and distance orientation is
distorted.
Perception is said to be increasedhearing is acutely intensified, and the plainest food
may taste delicious. And just
as with alcohol, inhibitions are
lowered. Unlike alcohol, there
are no after effects no hangoverassociated with marijuana.
Marijuana use can also produce nervousness, tension, anxiety and paranoia. Most experts
agree that it can be relatively
harmless when used by
people, but people
who are already emotionally disturbed may exhibit a psychosis
while high on pot. In these
cases, aggressive behavior or

a sexual stimulant.

Though classified as a narcotic by federal law, most experts agree that marijuana is
not physically addicting and
docs not produce tolerance, but
that heavy use can, as in alcohol and tobacco, produce psychological dependence.
The President's Commission
on Law Enforcement and the
Administration of Justice stated
in a report last summer "the
charge that marijuana leads to
use of addicting drugs needs to
be critically examined . . . there
is no scientific basis for such a
theory."
Dr. Harris Isabcll, acting
chairman of the UK Department
of Medicine and formerly head
of the Lexington Narcotics hospital, is one of the top experts
in the drug field.
In some of his research on'
marijuana he concluded, "Abuse
of cannabis facilitates the association with social groups and
involved with more
dangerous drugs . . . transition
to the use of such drugs would
be a consequence of this association rather than an inherent
effect on cannabis."
As to whether marijuana
leads to crime, most scientists
say that is dependent on the
user's personality.
Dr. Isabell concludes "Usually people under the influence of
marijuana are well behaved and
not assaultive, but marijuana
occasionally triggers acute schizophreniform episodes in susceptible persons."

Drug abuse indicates to a
psychiatrist "a symptom of an
underlying personality disorder,"
he said.
The Director of the National
Institute of Mental Health, Dr.
Stanley F. Yolles has leveled the
blame of drug abuse by youth
on the generation gap, which he
said is wider and deeper than
ever.
He said until the generation
gap the alienation of youth toward their elders is bridged,
youth will continue to escape
reality by using drugs.
When asked why, several
local users said they first tried
marijuana out of curiosity, "to
see what it was like," and continued using it because it was
a pleasurable experience.

The case against marijuana
has for years been built on the
charges that its use leads to
drug addiction and use of heroine and opium, that it leads to
violent crime and that it acts as

Marijuana a sexual stimulant?
Most agree that it is not. It isn't
considered an aphrodisiac and
some say it can even lead to a
decrease in sexual activity.
Because marijuana is used to
explore "inner space" as one
UK user put it the user retreats
to a world of his own, a world
inside himself. This, according
to Dr. Isabell, is the biggest
problem with the drug. "The
harm to society rests in the economic consequences of the impairment of the individual's
social functions and his enhanced proneness to a social
and antisocial behavior," he
states.
The big question is why. Why
do students turn to drugs?
"Rebellion," said Dr. Curtis.
Not a rebellion against one
thing in particular, but a "blanket rebellion."
He said students were also
"searching for an identity." He
added that he thought "many
are attracted to marijuana because it is illegal. If you made
it more available and not illegal,
