Poge Eight THE MICHIGAN DAILY Thursday, December 3, 1970 Page Eight THE MICHIGAN DAILY -Associated Press Capt. Morris Stanton testifies on drug use in the Army Army claims one in six soldiers in Vietnam use pot 'habitually' Use of salt as de-icer criticized (Continued from Page 1) stances, this acid can be dadly to aquatic lif - in this case, in the Huron River. He also blamed salt for damage to roadside plants, automobile cor- rosion, and creation of poor visi- bility conditions. He estimated that corrosion due to salt costs Ann Arbor citizens three million dollars per year. Curl said that possible chemical alternatives to roc salt are small improvements. Glycol, used in car- cooling systems, is very toxic, he said, and urea, being a good fertil- izer, is ecologically unsound. According to Curl, the combina- tion of salt with other methods does little to prevent automobile corrosion. He favors the elimina- tion of salt as an ice control, and proposd a ten-point program for driver safety in winter, including revised speed limits, required use of snow tires, additional snow-re- moving services, and greater use of public transportation facilities. Other speakers mentioned salt as a cause of damage to water sys- tems and to trees (especially map- les) near public thoroughfares, and as increasing. the cost the a u t o repairs due to rust. Proposals ranged from elimination of chem- ical ice controls to finding an ac- ceptable alternative to salt. Arthur Gibson, manager of the Traffic Safty Department of the Michigan Auto Club, contested Prof. Curl's statements favoring elimination of de-icers. He cited statewide statistics that showed accidents resulting from icy streets were higher in rural areas than in cities, where the roads are gener- ally salted. Dr. Robert Hess, Director of the University Highway Safety Com- mittee, presented another set of statistics, showing that the per- centage of accidents due to icy roads was actually greater in Royal Oak than in nearby Pon- tiac, even though Pontiac only uses about 60 per cent as much salt as Royal Oak. Both sets of statistics wer chal- lengd by committee members as being highly dependent on o t h e r variables. The five-member committee, chaired by Harold Rothbart of the city's Administrative Environment- al Committee, was appointed by Mayor Robert Harris. S. Vietnamese claim brutality in prison IL , WASHINGTON (A')-More than half of Army enlisted men sur- veyed last year in Vietnam ad- mitted using marijuana at least once and one in six said they used it 200 or more times yearly, the Army said yesterday. The results of the survey, un- veiled before a-"Senate subcommit- tee on alcoholism and narcotics, also showed 46.5 per cent of the men polled believe marijuana should be legalized, and 27 per cent declared they would continue using it. Army officers testified no re- search has been undertaken -to learn the impact of drug usage In combat situations. One of them said he did not believe it was widespread during combat, butl was fairly common when troops were relaxing after battle. Capt. Morris D. Stanton, chief of .the psychology section at Ft. Meade, Md., told the senators he surveyed 2,372 men-ranging from private. to lieutenant colonel-at a Cam Rahn Bay replacement battalion in November 1969. About half of those sampled were entering- Vietnam for the first time and the other half were leaving it after one-year tours. These were the major findings: "--Results showed that' of the 994 outgoing enlisted men sur- veyed, 53.2 per cent reported hav- SGC, to: aid AFSCME L, ing tried marijuana at least once in their lives. About half these men-50.1 per cent reported using marijuana in Vietnam and 31.4 per cent reported use before en- tering Vietnam." "-One out of six of the 994 was a habituated user in Vietnam-in other words he used it 200 or more times a year or more often than once every ether day." -The use of opium-usually in the form of marjuana cigarettes dipped in it-tripled in Vietnam. The outgoing group reported 6.3 per cent had used it before en- tering the country and 17.4 per cent said they used it while in Vietnam. -While not the only factor in- volved, there was an indication of "a slightly greater incidence of marijuana use in areas where combat is heaviest." -The use of heroin, morphine and "acid" or LSD did not not show increases in Vietnam and there was an indication of a drop in LSD use. -Few senior outgoing enlisted men, and company and field grade officers said they had ever used marijuana: Sen. Harold Hughes (D-Iowa) commended the Army for reveal- ing the Stanton study. Sen. Rich- ard S. Schweiker (R-Pa.) called it "sophisticated and credible" and predicted it would become a "benchmark" against -which to measure the scope of the drug abuse problem in the war zone. (Continued from Page 1) tear gas grenades at us and threw some chemical - lye or acid-on us," said one of the women now in Saigon. She had severe burns on the face and neck, with large chunks of charred flesh peeling from aroundnher mouth, and had heavy bandages on her arms and legs. She said she was from Long An Province in the Mekong Delta and was sen- tenced to 10 years in prison after being arrested in Saigon in December 1968. The other woman, also badly burned, said she had been sen- tenced to three years and had already served more than that, but that prison authorities re- fused to release her. A policeman assigned to guard the women at the hospital said both were members of the Viet Cong. The warden of the prison at Tan Hiep refused to talk to newsmen, telling them that they must first get clearance from the Interior Ministry. However, a guard at the jail confirmed that the incident had taken place a week ago, and said that at the height of the disturbance "a woman hit a ~- the greatest snow! Come ski and see!

Members of an Australian medical team at the nearby province hospital saidthey had received casualties from the prison incident. "We got in some very badly burned women," said one nurse. "The police said they should be confined in the prison ward. We said they were too sick, and the police took them to Saigon."

SGC criticized the LSA Admin- istrative Board's cooperation with the Interim Rules and Disciplin- ary Procedures, passed last spring by the Regents without student consultation or approval. Marc Van der Hout, '70, is be- ing tried under these rules for al- legedly disrupting a class during theBAM strike. SGC urged all LSA students "to refuse to serve on this illegally constituted tribunal" and -called upon the Administrative Board "to end their proceedings in this case." Council resolved additionally to prepare a booklet detailing t h e general disciplinary issues invol- ved as well as the specifics of this case:. SGC further created a special task force to work on implement- ing the demands set forth by the Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) for ending sexist employment practices at the University. Pending University compliance with the HEW demands, all fed- eral contracts have been held up. SGC's resolution cited compli- ance with the HEW guidelines as a "minimum effort" towards erad- icating Univeristy sexism. Dealing further on sexism, SGC criticized The Daily's advertis- ing policies, and endorsed "a non- sexist, non-racist advertising pol- icy for The Daily, to be based on the Redicalesbian proposal set forth in their recent letter to The Daily."
