Bob Korn, the city attorney
for Telluride, Colo., almost went
to jail because he smokes mari-
juana.
He is lucky he lives in one
of six states with newly de-
criminalized pot laws. Last
June 19, Korn, 34, invited a
deputy sheriff and another man
to his home for a chat.
THE DEPUTY'S friend no-
ticed a small bag of marijuana
on the table, asked for a joint,
and Korn obliged. The friend
was an undercover agent and
Korn was in trouble.
He since has become an out-
spoken advocate of marijuana
law reform.
"I think a whole generation
that found marijuana is being
prosecuted for using a harm-
less drug, and certainly more

STATE REFORMS have been
passed in California, Oregon,
Alaska, Ohio, Colorado and
Maine. Election-year politics
not withstanding, lobbyists for
decriminalization hope as many
as eight more states will fol-
low with laws this year.
Eight of the 10 announced
candidates for the Democratic
presidential nomination have
declared their support for
marijuana law reform - in
apparent recognition of what
surveys indicate to be a bloc
of between 14 and 20 million
marijuana smokers.
When Korn got in trouble, it
was only 12 days before

After legal haggles that drew
statewide attention, authorities
agreed to prosecute him under
the new law. He got off last
month by paying a $100 ticket
for a second-class petty offense.
The President's Domestic
Council on Drug Abuse, citing
studies which show no harmful

conclusion that we have - al-

that it is not in their interests
to make arrests for marijuana.
"I don't think police are out
looking for marijuana users. If
they were, you'd have 4 million
arrests instead of 400,000 -last
year's total. The penalties judg-
es are imposing today are usu-
ally no greater than what is

Lose your heating pad?
Try U' Lost and Found
I
By ANNEMARIE SCHIAVI
It's ten below zero outside.
Your hands are numb as you
fumble in your pocket or purse
for the keys to the front door.
With despair you realize they
aren't there. You lost or left
them somewhere on this vast
campus.
Before dishing out your bucks
to the nearest keymaker, Tom
Benett, head of the University
Lost and Found, suggests you
drop by 1044 Student Activities
Building and take a look around
to see if your lost item was
turned in.

ACCORDING to Benett, keys,
books, glasses, wallets and
gloves are some of the more
common items that find their
way to the lost and found.
Folks around here have even
managed to lose rugs, heating
pads, boots and ski poles.
Benett explained that you must
be able to identify the lost
article. A half-way believable
story about where it was lost
is also advisable.
AT THE END of the year,
many unclaimed articles are
given away to charitable organ-
izations such as jails and homes
for retarded children and the
emotionally disturbed.
However, some lost items are
to bizarre for placement.
"A lot of this stuff, like bike
wheels, I really don't know what
to do with," said Benett. "We
could have an auction, but I
don't know how well it wouldI
go over."

British recruits
leave for Angola
LONDON (AP) - Dozens of
tough looking British mercen-
aries, hired to fight in Angola,
flew out of London for Africa
yesterday.
They were bound via Brussels
for Kinshasa, Zaire, which backs
the Western-supported liberation
group known as the National
Front - FNLA - in neighbor-'
ing Angola.
THE FNLA and its ally, the,
National Union - UNITA -!
has been losing to Soviet-back-
ed forces of the Popular Move-
ment - MPLA - in the civil
war for control of the former
Portuguese colony.
The men were generally close-
mouthed and dodged pho-
tographers as they went
through security checks and
sat drinking tea awaiting their
flights.
But some were quoted as
saying they had been recruited
by a firm called Security Ad-
visory Services in Surrey, a
county southwest of London,
and were to be paid $300 at
week, tax free, by the Zaire
government.
BETWEEN 40 AND 54 men
departed on a first flight and-
about 100 others followed later
yesterday.
"This is a spearhead. There
could be a lot more following,"
one of the many Scots in the
group said before boarding the
plane. He spoke with a report-
er from Brenards, a news agen-
cy specializing in airport cov-
erage.
It was the first reported move-
ment of troops from Britain into
the conflict, where South Afri-
can mercenaries have backed
one faction in the south. Some
10,000 Cuban soldiers are re-
ported fighting for the MPLA.
The U.S. Congress is blocking
Ford administration efforts to
support the FNLA.
THE BRITISIJ government
has remained officially neutrall
in the struggle, deploring all
foreign intervention.
