The bill was pushed through Congress with the aid of hysterical unaccurate journalism fed by unfounded reports coming from the Narcotics Bureau and urged on by a very wealthy and powerful liquor lobby. The Public was misled into believing the lies of the Narcotics Bureau. By 1951 marijuana was customarily as sociated with such drugs as her oin, cocaine, and morphine. In 1951, when the Narcotic Con trol Act made penalties for posses sion of the other illegal drugs harsher, the penaltikts for mari juana were also made harsher. The entire set-up makes no sense at all, first of all—how can mari juana be covered under a narcot ics law when it has been proven -to possess none of the qualities of a Student Discount For The Firebugs "The Firebugs", described by it's author, Max Frisch, as "A learning play without a lesson." opens November 28 at The Erie Playhouse. Because of its parti cular appeal to students, the stu dent discount rate of 75c less per ticket will be in force for every night of this production. Tick ets for Wednesday and Thursday are $2.25; Friday, Saturday, or Sunday tickets are $2.75. vi%.%~' ~*''~3 Mr. Frisch, a Swiss, wrote the play in German and is has been adapted to the American stage by Mordecai Gorelik. It enjoyed success in 17 European countries before ft opened in New York. In the London Observer,• Ir ving Wardle describes "The Fire bugs" as "A stream-lined satire . . a beautiful formal mechanism, a wound spring whose nature is simply to uncoil." Written in farce form, it is a commentary on complacency and human weakness that applies equally to every form of social disorder. The main character is a middle-class European of un determined nationality caught up in the wave or arson sweeping his nation. As "Mr. Everyman" he fears not to act when the ar sonists threaten his home. A "Greek chorus" of firemen pro- 1 vide revelant commentary as the play progresses.

Another perculiar ity is the mention of addicts in section five of the law. Marijuana produces no addiction so how can they prosecute any marijuana ad dicts? Again the law makes no sense. Mr. Anslinger was very active in encouraging , other countries to declare marijuana a narcotic and to include marijuana on their list of dangerous drugs. Many coun tries gave in to Mr. Anslinger's ideas and adopted his policies. Many of these nations were also recipients -of American economic and military aid. The U. S. Narcotics Bureau has from time to time stated that mar ijuana is illegal all throughout the world. This is not true. One prime example of this is India. Marijuana is legal in India. The reason for this is that many of the religions of India use the herb and also the extensive use of mari juana in the Ayurvedic, Unani, and Tibbi systems of indigenous medicine that is practiced in In- Larson, Nuber 2nd In Clarion Competition Rusty Larson and Roger Nuber, sophomore stalwarts of the For ensic Union debate squad, finished strong to tie for second place at last Saturday's three round com petition at Clarion State College. Their 2-1 win-loss record. which featured victories over the Uni versity of Pittsburgh "and the tournament winners from the Uni versity of West Virginia, was -the best compiled by Behrend stu dents. Larson was judged the tournament's fifth best speaker. Debaters from sixteen colleges , and five states met at Clarion to argue the pros and cons of tax sharing. Affirmative teams, in cluding Behrend's Dennie Wes sell, Ed Fine, Brad Evans and John Musula, advocated that the federal government cede a propor tion of income tax revenues di rectly _to the states. Tax sharing, argued Wessell would allow Pennsylvania to es cape its present fiscal crisis, and make available enough money to expand much-needed programs in urban areas such as Erie.

Allen Ginsberg has gone on record as saying that much of the paranoia the Narcotics Bureau claims marijuana is a cause of is directly traceable to the fear of being busted for smoking pot. He also goes on to point out the dif ferences he himself has experienc ed in smoking marijuana in_ this country compared to smoking in another country where marijuana is legal. The smoker in the U. S. may fear the possibility of being bust ed, jailed, and victimized by the bureaucracy that has made. pro pagandized, administers, and pro fits from such a monstrous law. Whereas when Ginsberg smoked marijuana where it was legal 'none of the above mentioned feari en sued him. Allen Ginsberg is not the only person who would feel this way.

Their reasoning was based upon the capacity and desirability of- state governmental fiscal reform.

On the other hand, Nuber and Larson rode an unorthodox nega tive posture to double victory.
