Morality.” The New Morality val
ues private experience for itself;
it sanctifies what goes on inside
the head.
However, Blum stressed, when
involved and preoccupied with
the inner man. one cannot be con
cerned with what happens to
others, with what goes on in oth
ers’ minds.
In this way, he said, the New
Morality holds a built-in threat.
With the use of drugs to explore
the inner man, man is less able

income tax forms.” He helped;
start a headstart program for the
children and also helped the eski
mos to set up a sawmill which
was supplied by the state. The
village Council was also trying
to set up various community ac
tivities for the eskimos — one
project was to get electricity.
“Most of them use lanterns.” He
also helped to start a village well.
According to Carl the Eskimoes
have a one economy crop and that
is fishing—but even so, fishing
is active only one month of the
year. They still are trying to live
off the land by hunting and fish
ing— which is partly how Carl
and the other volunteers lived.
They shot moose and seals for
meat. The girls lived in a log
house and an old construction
trailer. They were slightly better
off than the Eskimoes because
they had an oil stove—most of the
Eskimoes still use woodburning
stoves.
The problem with the Eskimoes
is that they have always been
nomadic. Now that they have to
send their children to school they
have settled into communities.
This has brought all the problems
of how to live and also problems
of sanitation—according to Carl
the Eskimoes drink straight from
the creeks and this often results
in sickness.

Blum said the nature of a uni
versity an dits purpose provides
another clue. A university atmos
phere encourages exploration of
new ideas, of one’s self, and ex
perimentation with new kinds of
behavior.
Some Sheltered
“One cannot be surprised at
student exploration of drugs,’’ he
remarked. “It may be because
drugs are the last taboo—sex is
okay.”
Other college students try
drugs. Blum pointed out, because
they had “remarkably sheltered,
safe childhood and they feel they
are invulnerable . . . the “noth
ing-bad-can-happcn-to-me” atti

He said vanity is another rea

plore my Innards." Blum explain
ed that those people use drugs as
a means of doing just that.
Related factors of boredom and
mysticism lead to another rea
son for drug usage, Blum said.
Students are bored with a society
that asks them to be rational.
Blum feels that because man is
irrational, this constant demand
for rational conformity caused
some to rebel. They use drugs as
a mystic ritual in order to es
cape from a boringly rational so
ciety.
Religious Ecstacy
Then there are those, Blum
recognizes, that are seeking a true |
religious ecstasy through drugs.'
j “I admire their goals but ques
tion their techniques,” he com ,
mented.
During the question and an- j
swer period following his speech,
Blum was asked if he ever tried
LSD, a hallucinogenic drug.
No, he replied, because he had
weighed the evidence and con
cluded that he’d rather not take
1 the less than 3 per cent chance
of becoming a phychotic or 10
