aren't valid now," Bill charged.
"It’s when you don't have re
spect for yourself and your own
values that you say others don’t
either and try to impose your own
on them,” he continued.
"Just because they are afraid
is no reason to impute crime to
others. They are questioning our
values because we threaten their
god damn life," said Ed.
“If they think they are right,
how can they censor others?” he
asked. "If you respect yourself
and your own decisions you must
assume that others are behaving
in the same way.”
Some Are Escapists
Bill mentioned the traditional
association of marijuana and New
York City. “They’re escapists so
of course some of them may want

to use more powerful drugs to
obtain a greater ‘high.’ They want
to escape from a deprived envir
onment. And it’s easier for a
‘pusher’ to win over slum dwel
lers. That can’t happen here.”
Sue interjected, "Discussion of |
marijuana should not be included !
in discussion of super drugs.’
Marijuana is trivial in compari
son.”
The students continually com
pared marijuana to alcohol.
“Some people may be looking for ,
a crutch. It could be alcohol, reli
gion, or pot,” said Bill. “But it
isn't a crutch for a responsible
person.”
Joe called alcohol “a worse
crutch. It’s basically self-destruc
tive.”
Bernard commented: "The peo
ple I know who take pot are in
tellectual. It’s not for a kick but
to enrich their experience. But
people drink just to get blasted.”
An ulcoholic is “just a worth
less bum on a park bench,” ac
cording to Bill. "But someone
who uses pot can still cope with
reality and contribute something
to society. It won't keep him from
getting a l’h.D."
"In fact," Sue quipped. "It
might just help." She also pointed
out that a heavy drinker might
try pot, then stop drinking and
just use pot occasionally.
“Using pot is a search for some
thing else outside yourself, some
thing better,” according to Max.
another student.
Like a Tranquilizer
"Someone using pot is not ir
responsible like someone who is
drunk,” Sue said. "It’s more like
a tranquilizer. Alcohol is a tern
porary escape.
"We know about 200 students
who use pot, but it doesn't lead
psychologically to anything else.
At least it hasn't with them.”

Mike pointed out that the trn
ditional theory is thut they mifjht

for nn escape.
Tranquilizers are more of an
escape than marijuana, according
to Max.
Sue added that pot might be
come a habit but is less addicting
than coffee.
Joe lashed out at the restric
tions on the use of marijuana.
"The group thinks thut its values
should go for all. Why can’t they
let people do what they want?
Who does the middle class or the
government think it is that they
can tell people what to do?"
Sue just commented on the
"twisted value system In this
country.”
The students mentioned a case
in Seattle where several students
were given 20 year sentences for
possession of marijuana. "We
ought to know by now that prison
sentences are not a deterrent,"
Sue said. "All it will do is ruin a
college career.”
Hill concluded: "These things
aren’t new. They've been around
for thousands of years. The east
ern ascetics used them. There is
nothing inherently new or evil in
the use of marijuana."

“You got a great
backhand there, Ken.”
Sportsmen. That’s what we're getting
at The College Inn. Like me'n Ken.
(That’s Ken getting ready to leap
over the net.) Ken plays a great
game of Ping-Pong.
And there’s Althea and Sally Lou, hopscotch
champions of Patterson Street. They're
moving into The College Inn, too.
Then there’s the gang that signed up yester
day. I’ve seen lots of games of "Two-Below,"
but those boys really go all out. Like the game
last week. Whizzer’s team came from 17
points behind to win it in the last few seconds.
Mark of real champions.
Take old Johnny. A bunch of the guys
bet him he couldn’t push a bed around
The College Inn 19 times in less than
20 minutes. Shoot. Old Johnny did it in
18:39.4, and the bed had no wheels.
Great athlete, that Johnny.
We're really looking forward to
moving into The College Inn. They’ll
have the best recreation facilities.
And a good training table. Great
food, and plenty of it.
There's that intangible something,
too. Like the New York Yankees used
to have. Just living at The College Inn
will give you self-confidence. I’ll
bet when it’s my serve at game point.
I’ll just slam it right by Sally Lou.
Great place. The College Inn.
