"KIPA firmly believes that

access to news far outweigh any
advantages to the institution that
applies the cloak of secrecy," the
statement said.
"KIPA abhors the idea tl at

Chancellor Defends Academic Freedom

EDITOR'S NOTE: The following is
from ihe Chronicle of Higher
Education. It is an excerpt from the text
of a statement by Chancellor Samuel D.
Could of th State University of New
York before the state's Joint Legislative
Committee on Higher Education, wlu'ch

use by students in the university system.

Brook.
Several weeks ago, a number of students from the Stony Brook campus of
the State University were arrested in a
dramatic police raid and charged with
the possession and distribution of drugs.
As I hope you know, the university has
taken every step to cooperate with the
public authorities not only at Stony Brook
but at all other campuses as well.
The notion persists in some quarters,
however, that the university in its care
to preserve the principles of academic
freedom is at the same time harboring
and protecting fugitives from the law
and that it permits a quality of human
conduct which would elsewhere be regarded as unacceptable.
The first fact of the matter is that any

universities but of our time. Society easily
enough condones the actions of a teenager
at his home, whether they have to do
with alcohol, sex, or anything else, but
as soon as. he enters the university the
mil burden of criticism for permissiveness falls upon the administrator.
The university is thus far more than
an arm of the state. This institution not
only serves the existing order-- it
also,
through research and discussion, examines
and questions the statusquo, commenting
freely on its shortcomings and exploring
alternatives for action. Such examination
and questioning often encourage change,
and it is at precisely this point that
university values most often collide with
the traditional or conventional patterns
of thought. Accordingly, it is this function of university life that requires the
greatest freedom. For if the university
is to speak honestly and without intimidation, it must remain politically unencumbered.
Over the years the university has developed a kind of internal balance; it has
evolved mechanisms for

act in violation of law has nothing whatever to do with academic freedom and
the university provides no such protection. The second is that no double standard of conduct can be applied to a
university and to the larger society.
We should remind ourselves that immoral behavior, the breakdown of traditional values, the advent of the hippies,

ly, has granted the university freedom
of internal governance, knowing that the
university is a social institution whose
unique spirit must be preserved.
It is this tradition of internal governance which must -- at all cost -- be preserved. Any attempt, however
to ignore tmstce authority or to
undermine the university's own patterns
of operation, will vitiate the spirit of the
institution and, in time, kill thevery thing
it seeks to preserve.
Of course, special problems of law enforcement and extraordinary
circumstances do arise. But if surveillance and
eavesdropping, with the inevitable attendant climate of insecurity and suspicion, ever become common practice, then
a central requirement for the unimpeded
exchange of ideas will have been violated.
No institution, no state agency, indeed,
no individual can operate freely and without intimidation if he is persistently shadowed or constantly monitored. If we
as individuals live with the knowledge
that our most casual comments or our
most private acts may at some future
date become objects of public exhibition,
our freedom of speech and ease of action
are effectively destroyed.

* Legalize Marijuana
o

Marijuana was framed. It was
convicted without the benefit of a
fair trial and then imprisoned, with
hardened criminals as its
heroin, opium and morphine.
The injustice took place in 1937
after various myths and rumors
had been circulated by the head
of the Federal Narcotics Bureau,
Thomas Anslinger, and the daily
press, whose sensationalism was
increased with accounts of the
dastardly effects of marijuana.
Among the myths were: that
marijuana use leads to physical
addiction and use of heroin, that
marijuana leads to unpremeditated
crime and violence and that marijuana is responsible for creating
sexual stimulation. The public's
belief in these myths led to its
conviction and classification by federal law as a narcotic drug. A narcotic drug is defined as one which
leads to physical addiction, to a
buildup of tolerance towards the
drug and one which causes a withdrawal sickness when its use is
discontinued.
Scientists and medical experts
have found marijuana to have none
of these vital characteristics of a
narcotic drug, yet the law enacted
in 1937 remains as an anachronism
from a puritanical past. Officials
claim the stringent laws mere possession calls for two to ten years
imprisonment are necessary to
control the spread of marijuana
use. But many officials, including
Kentucky congressman Tim Lee
Carter, say the laws have had a
reverse effect and use of marijuana
has increased.
