U. of Michigan Prof.
"Don't Over-react"
Ann Arbor, Mich.-=(l:P.)—"Don't - over-react to' demonstrators,"
says Michael Radock, University of Michigan vice president. "Vio
lence and disruption don't represent the college' campus or this stu
dent generation," he adds suggesting that alumni and the public
keep campus ferment in perspec
This is not to say, he adds,
that campuses are tranquil, but
neither is the society from which
college students come and into
which they graduate. "Our rest
less campuses reflect a spirit of
rebellion in a restless nation," he
declares.
Randock noted that student
concerns are focused on relev
ance," "dialog", and "confronta
tion."
"We make a mistake if we
lump together all forins of pro
test and all expressions of dis
agreement," he added. "We must
not confuse issues with tatics
used in , confrontations politics—
the dress, language, and manner
'sins designed to offend, upset,
an& antagonize." -
He reported . that - more and
more colleges and universities
hacie emphasized that they can
not tolerate force and violence.
Radock also said that ,the few
campus revolutionaries usually
can be rendered relatively inef
fective:
"If channels of communication
are open,
"If legitimate complaints are
recognized and sincere efforts are
made to deal with them,
"If nonstudent agitators are
Isolated,
"If the campus community is
kept informed, and
"If the Establishment avoids
over-reacting."
It is clear- that if universities
wish -to govern- themselves, they
face the fact that there are
boundaries beyond which conduct
becomes unacceptable, he said:
Radock, warned • that if universi
tieS are unwilling to deal' with
these types of problem, "the pow
er 'to. do so will be—lodged else
where." This would spell the end
of free universities as we know
them."

Ittarijuana -Weed
by Gary Thornbloom
Personality changes as shown by tests are
either slight or non-existent and• most persons un
der= the influence of marijuana become less
ob
jective .in evaluating situations are less agressive.
Although most doctors will agree to the fast that
a marijuana is nonaddictive - and is not harmful.
few - will go on to explain the therapeutical ad
,
vantages of marijuana. Claims have been made
to the effect that marijuana is actually advan
tageous- to - the body and that marijuana is a- cure
for some ailments. These findings have not yet
?been proven. Studies should be • undertaken to
prove or disproVe these theories.

emits a continuous • no* of anti-marijuarla • prop
aganda. Very little of their propaganda is based
.;1 on - actual niedical findings ail& the Narcotics
Bureau also shows a lack of consistency in their
statements. Mr. Anslinger, the one-time commis
stoner, is a prime example of a source of incon
t sistent lies. Mr: Anslinger has been quoted as
•I , making these two statements: .
~,
_
;• "At the' House hearings of 1937, Represen
-1 tatiire Dingell of Michigan asked• Mr. Azislinger:
'I Was just wondering whether the marijuana ad -
•'' diet: graduates, into herion; an opium, or a co
,
a , c ine user?" .
,
Mr. Anslinger replied: 'No, sir; I have not
heard of a case of that kind. I- think it is an en
i tirely different_ class. ; The marijuana -user . does
I not go in that direction."
The United States is not uni
que in having experienced var
ious forms of dissent and disor
der involving young people, Ra
dock pointed out. Other count
ries of the world, under various
forms of government, have simi
lar experiences.
Most students are not taking a
negative- approach in expressing
their differences with the way
things are, he sail. Most students
are too busy studying, or they
are pursuing others means of
making right what they find
wrong_
A great number of students are
helping in positive ways to im
prove community health serv
ices, or provide legal assistance to
indigents through legal-aid
Others are working with
senior citizens and campaigning
for political candidates, he adds.
"This is not to say" Radock
added, "that a student who is
tutoring a ghetto child one day
may not be found at a sit-in
demonstration the next day."
Universities must be receptive
to change, he declared. They
must recognize that the status
quo is not sacrosanct. They must,
create an atmosphere and estab
lish procedures by which worth
while change can take place in
an orderly way, and the free en
vironment can be maintained.
With Roots In Hell
And Mr. Anslinger speaking again before the
Senate: "That is the great problem and our
great concern about the use of marijuana, that
eventually, if used over a long period, it does lead
to heroin addiction."
This lack of consistency along with medical
findings is what prompts many of the' backersof
LLEMAR 14 to question the Narcotics Bureau's
statements of marijuana being a killer drug and
a powerful narcotic in which lurks Murder! In-'
sanity! Death! 15. The Narcotics Bureau has
gone on public record as stating that marivana
does produce insanity, it calls users addicts, pic
tures marijuana as a direct cause of many mur
ders and sex crimes, and claims that the person's
not. even. aware_ that he - is - committing a - crime
and actually' feels - what he has done is proper.
It also grossly exaggerates' the effects of mari
juana. They claim. that the user experiences feel
-hags- - of intense anxiety, delirium, - color distor
tion, Shifting- of coloriz' 'distortion of musical
sounds, and one of the Bureau's most astounding
claims is that the user feels - he can step from
Philadelphia to the Panama Canal in. three
strides and then claims he does 16. Any one who
has ever smoked any marijuana knows these
' claims aren't based on any actual facts or cases.
It can then be concluded that the U.S. Narcotics
Bureau is an unreliable source*of information on
the use and effects of marijuana.
(Continued next week—
Why Is Marijuana Illegal?)
14 LE.MAR is an organization. It stands for
legalized marijuana.

in - Erie Co.
Local pharmacist Lou Fomelli and Detective Sergeant Wollis
of the Erie Police Department spoke here Monday evening on "Drug
Abuse in Erie County." A 58 minute film on drug abuse was shown
also.
Fornelli stated that he was ". . . here as a public service and
for that reason alone," when a suspicious student queried the speak
ers' presence. He became involved in this lecture series because a
friend of the family's son 'flipped out' on LSD.
11VIr. Fornelli spoke mainly on
addictive drugs, primarily LSD. He
explained' that LSD causes
chromosome changes and can
cause offSpeing problems (defor
mity). Also, the user can exper
ience reoccurrences up to 18
months after the trip. As to the
effects during the trip, he said
that the trip is based - on the in
dividual mental-physical well
being which one is - not capable of
being certain of, therefore the trip
is unpredictable.

Sgt. Wollis told of elementary
school children who know more
about drugs than is imaginable.
Two weeks ago the 11-year Erie
Police Force veteran broke down
the last heroin ring in Erie. He
stated .that in 1965 there was one
drug arrest in Erie, in 1966—four,
in 1967—ten, 1968—eight, and
thus far. this year, there have been
over 150 arrests. -

identify themselves, and tell why
they are there, repealed. This pro
cedure gives persons enough time
to flush thousands of dollars
worth of dope down toilets or
drains. This has happened many
times in Erie, thus making dope
charges stick is nearly legally
possible.
The men told of the formation
of a federal government sponsor

their risking getting 'busted'. As
