Drugs — a pregnant word.
To some people drugs mean
s u b s t a n c e s obtainable at the
local pharmacy to treat various
i l l s . To order , the word implies
a ghetto dweller shooting heroin
into a vein to maintain life.
But to the average
college
student, drugs connote marihuana,
barbiturates,
amphetamines,
speed,
or
perhaps
hashish.
Next to alcohol, the most
popular mindbender has been
the resinous top and dried leaf
of
the
Indian
hemp
plant,
marihuana.
The hemp
plant,
Cannabis
saliva,
grows wild
through
most of the world.
To some, smoking marihuana
heightens the s e n s e s . Others,
when
smoking for the
first
time, are repelled by the bitter
t a s t e and hot smoke of burning
marihuana. Some people may even
be allergic to the drugs.
According to the Commission
on Narcotic Drugs of the Economic and Social Council of the
United
Nations,
marihuana
abuse
is
more
widespread,
from a geographical viewpoint,
than any other " d a n g e r o u s d r u g "

this country,

be smoked, sniffed or
ingested, but the most prevalent
usage is in the form of cigarettes.
The cigarettes are known as reefers,
joints, sticks,
muggles
or mooters by the u s e r s . They
are often made by removing
the tobacco from a nonfilter
cigarette and replacing il with
g r a s s . Many smoke the tobacco
by means of a water pipe,
which serves to dull the bite
of the smoke.
To be sure, pot is grown in
this country, but the b e s t qiiajity
comes from Mexico where it

crop is smuggled a c r o s s the
Rio Grande, and often adulterated
with oregano in the process,
the price has risen to about $275

times
the

of

This is because the intoxicating
substance which gives marihuana

One gram of hash usually s e l l s

Wolfs Whistle
So Wlio Needs Protection?

It is not often that one hears
anything good about the campus

campus guard, I jumped behind
some bushes and began yelling,
"Violation, Violation" (Because
this isn't Berkeley I couldn't
say rape). My roommate rushed to
the guard and s a i d , "My girlfriend is fighting with a b u m . "
The guard responded, " S o what
do 1 care what happens to a b u m . "
This horrid experience c a u s e s
me to consider more seriously
some of the other hard-to-believe
stories I had heard concerning
the campus police force.
For example, a recent research
team imcovered the fact that
campus police, when properly
equipped with billy-club, walkietalkie, pistol and camera, spend
over half their time trying to
stand up.
Another student explained that
police dogs had been tried, but
that the police didn't come fast

further explained that a questionnaire had been sent out inquiring
as to the particular type of dog

He attempts to del'eal death
by reanimating dead tissue and
creating a creature capable of
human

in great detail the process of
creation. Victor's sincerity and
devotion to science are clearly
portrayed.
He works for the good of
humanity and does not realize
the monstrous consequences of
his creation until it i s too late.
The philosophical trends of
the novel are illustrated by the
monster's observations of humanity and his relationship to
his creator.
He is astonished
that man can be s o virtuous
and, at the same time, so evil.

the resinous top and dried leaf

the

The hemp
plant,

through
most of the world.
To some, smoking marihuana
heightens the s e n s e s . Others,
when
smoking for the
first
time, are repelled by the bitter
t a s t e and hot smoke of burning
marihuana. Some people may even
be allergic to the drugs.
According to the Commission

academic credit, and over *4,000
additional c a s h for printing c o s t s .
The crisis occured when the
student government cut the n e w s paper budget by $17,000 more
than half of the $39,000 they
asked for, and merit scholarships
were dropped for staff members.
" I t ' s just not fun anymore
when you spend 80 hours a week
up here and get d i d l e y , " said
sports editOT Jerry Gruebel. The
$9,000 will be divided up to pay
for the editors and b u s i n e s s

some reporters' s t o r i e s .
This,

may
be smoked, sniffed or
ingested, but the most prevalent
usage is in the form of cigarettes.
The cigarettes are known as reefers,
joints, sticks,
muggles
or mooters by the u s e r s . They
are often made by removing
the tobacco from a nonfilter
cigarette and replacing il with
g r a s s . Many smoke the tobacco
by means of a water pipe,
which serves to dull the bite
of the smoke.
To be sure, pot is grown in
this country, but the b e s t qiiajity
comes from Mexico where it
s e l l s for two dollars a kilogram. By the time the Mexican
crop is smuggled a c r o s s the
Rio Grande, and often adulterated
with oregano in the process,
the price has risen to about $275
per
kilo.

Pennsylvania,
depending
on who's
selling
and where the grass may cost
anywhere from $10 to $20 per

There
is
another
product
of the Indian hemp p l a n t known
as h a s h i s h or hash. H a s h is the
collected s a p or resin of the plant
and
contains
approximately
100
times
the
halluciogenic
property
of
ordinary
grass.
This is because the intoxicating
substance which gives marihuana
its activity is found almost
exclusively in the resin, and
hash is sometimes pure r e s i n .
One gram of hash usually s e l l s
for about $20.
Procuring grass or hash is
simple enough; a short time
a s k i n g questions around campus
would usually be enough to make
contact with a dealer. Some of
the dealers are s t u d e n t s ; others
are big-time movers sent in
from New York or Florida. Due
to the illegality of marihuana,
organized crime has moved into
the market, just as it did during
Prohibition.

Wolfs Whistle
So Wlio Needs Protection?
by Dick Wolfsie
It is not often that one hears
anything good about the campus
police force. It i s , Li fact, more
common to hear something bad.
Since I never believe rum.ors unl e s s I start them, I decided to
nan a t e s t of my own. (Like all
those who have
experienced
English, I am in pursuit of truth \
L a s t Saturday night I dressed

work shirt and combat boots, and

walked with my roommate over to
R u s s e l l . Upon spotting the first
campus guard, I jumped behind
some bushes and began yelling,
"Violation, Violation" (Because
this isn't Berkeley I couldn't
say rape). My roommate rushed to
the guard and s a i d , "My girlfriend is fighting with a b u m . "
The guard responded, " S o what
do 1 care what happens to a b u m . "
This horrid experience c a u s e s
me to consider more seriously
some of the other hard-to-believe
stories I had heard concerning
the campus police force.
For example, a recent research
team imcovered the fact that
campus police, when properly
equipped with billy-club, walkietalkie, pistol and camera, spend
over half their time trying to
stand up.
Another student explained that
police dogs had been tried, but
that the police didn't come fast
:^nough when the dogs called. He
further explained that a questionnaire had been sent out inquiring
as to the particular type of dog
the police preferred, the result

Works for Humanity
He attempts to del'eal death
by reanimating dead tissue and
creating a creature capable of
human
action, thought, and
emotion. Mary Shelley describes
in great detail the process of
creation. Victor's sincerity and
devotion to science are clearly
portrayed.
He works for the good of
humanity and does not realize
the monstrous consequences of
his creation until it i s too late.
The philosophical trends of
the novel are illustrated by the
monster's observations of humanity and his relationship to
his creator.
He is astonished
that man can be s o virtuous
and, at the same time, so evil.

Here science and theology
clash.
Frankenstein has the
knowledge to create life, but he
a l s o has a moral responsibility

Because he rejects this responsibility, the monster turns
against him and destroys every
vestige of his h a p p i n e s s .
Misrepresentated in Movies
The very fact that Frankens t e i n ' s " m o n s t e r " is capable
of articulating h i s observations
is evidence of the unfair misrepresentation of him in motion
pictures.
He is portrayed as a mute,
dumb, awkward b e a s t who s e n s e lessly destroys human life. He
is not Mary Shelly's sensitive,
intelligent, agile creature who
reacts to cruelty and loneliness
as any human creature would
react.

(probably because no one knew
how to spell chihuahua).
I asked one student why they
were not permitted to have guns,
and he replied that it was feared
they might shoot t h e m s e l v e s .
This 1 know NOT to be true, because the day they were given
b u l l e t s , they sat around all night
trying to load their billy-clubs.
One rumor s u g g e s t s that no
guard has ever been wounded in
action. This isn't true. I was
there the very night that one of
the guards attempted to walk
through the door of the gifl's
dorm 15 seconds before curfew.
But whatever you may think of
the police force, the problem of
protection remains. Better lighting has been suggested — this
only protects ugly girls. For the
remainder of the student body (or
