Think About It
If addiction (physiological, psychological or otherwise) to bennies,
metoyldrene, heroin, sleeping pUls, crystal, LSD, STP (and espe¬
cially marijuana) Is becoming more and more pronounced-there
must be a reason.
For example, some real Issues on put are clouded wlto a lot of
double talk about whether or not lt should be legalized.
No doubt tomorrow's "Pot Parley" wUl isolate this point and
skirt toe reason or reasons why more and more people blow grass.
But, let's get back at toe double talk. Advocates of toe leagallza-
tlon of marijuana assert that there is no substantial medical proof
that pot Itself Is harmful. This same argument, however, will show
toat there has been no extensive or thorough Investigation Into toe
physiological effects of marijuana.
Departments of the state government should pool their resources
and brainpower to undertake such aherculeantask(e.g., Departments
of Youth Authority, EducaUon, Social Welfare, etc.)
But of greater Importance Is toe punishment doled out by toe
courts. It seems strange thai laws dealing with toe use of pot are
substantially stronger than those of LSD (and we're not talking about���low sugar diets.)
Marijuana Is getting a bold on ail kinds ot people - squares,
teachers, gridiron stars, hippies, smoothies, dropouts, droplns and
housewives. Pot seems to be replacing liquor ln popularity.
Perhaps what drives young people to (une to Is toe search for love
and understanding. Kids who smoke pot want other kids to smoke pot.
Maybe lt makes them feel safer.
One Napa youngster expressed toe thought tously: "I want to tell
everyone. It's conformity that leads young people to break away. To
search for love.
"In Berkeley and Halght-Ashbury anybody will take you to and be
kind. Offer friendship, accept you for yourself. When we really got
hooked on drugs, a whole community took care of us."
Perhaps one answer, a partial one at best, Is toat maybe-Just
maybe, U we approach toe Issue of pot and drugs wlto understanding,
love and tolerance- maybe there's hope yet.

Editor:
I feel that the CoUege Clergy
Is out of place by using their
positions to help Influence people
to think toat what toey suggest
Is right. I do not think becoming
a Conscientious Objector is God's
will Just because toe Clergy sug¬
gests 1L The Clergy Is made up
of mortal men Just like you and
I. They have no more claim as
to what Is toe right way than I do.
Most of their statements are
basically true but this still does
not prove toat toe action toey are
advocating Is any more correct
to God's eyes than one I would
The CoUege Clergy says toat
toe war must be opposed. I wUl
not even attempt to say whether
tots Is right or wrong. I believe
however, a great number of Am¬
ericans wUl be to grave danger
If large numbers of American
men become Conscientious Ob¬
jectors. This will most certainly
give moral support to toe Viet
Cong, not to mention the demoral¬
izing effect on our own men.This
will also mean each service man
now ln Vietnam will have to stay
there longer. When toey have done
their duty, fighting to keep Am¬
erica free, toey will have to stay
longer and do the fighting for
these "Courageous Conscientious
Objectors."
The Clergy says toat becoming
a "CO." will cause toe govern¬
ment to be 'forced to adapt II
self to toe political reality.
What wUl happen to toe meantlm
though? More Americans wUldl
needlessly because  toey had b
serving   our  country  for  these
•Courageous* objectors!
I say toat more Americans
would die this way than if toe
objectors would do their duty to
their country and object through
their Congressmen, toe way our
has  set. up to toe First Bill of
personally feel toat a Con-
Objector tor non-re¬
ligious reasons is nothing but a
coward and wUl be nothing but
a coward. I faU to see how an
Intelligent young woman could
view lt any dlfferenUy either.
I beUeve to Cod and his teachings
but I wUl go back ln toe Marines
before UrUI associate wlto so
called "CourSgeousConsclentlous
Objectors."

Spectra Evaluation
Editor:
On Sept. 14,1 sent a copy of a letter to Tho DaUy Collegian which
I made previous arrangements to publish concerning toe very One
Job done by Colleen Leman to this year's Spectra; copies were also
sent to Miss Leman and toe Board of Publications. The Collegian
never pubUshed the letter.
Spectra Is indeeed a beautiful book. I will be toe first to agree. But
one should evaluate toe book to relationship to toe function lt was
designed to serve. I was preparing my proposal for toe appropriate
channels, but toe editorial does deserve a reply.
Spectra, toe student handbook, was designed to supply toe student

Spectra Is beautiful, but Is there any reason to have ln essence
two year books each academic year/
We have over 700 copies to my office right now toat we have been
unsuccessful to giving away. They cost one dollar a piece to publish.
They are also very expensive^ to mall because of their size and
weight.
Long Beach State (24,500 students ln comparison) has a very fine
publication which is very functional and pleasing to too eye and only
costs 36 cents to publish.
We do not propose to do away with Spectra but to orientate It's
function to solve more student needs.We, toe students, are currently
paying over $18,000 for a yearbook. Do toe students want to spend
The students now award the Journalism department a.great deal of
money and toe department seems to feel toat editors should be toe
final decision makers concerning it. But I feel strongly toat as toe
publishers wc should be quick to let the Board of Publications know
our feelings on publication policies, and as your student president
I wUl continue to adjust our association to toe needs of our students.
