Traditionally, the best place to go for good in-
formation on sex and drugs was the nearest street
corner, a natural counseling unit maintained by a
lot of young toughs who invariably frightened your
mother.
Times have changed. Many schools now include
fine sex education programs, some of which would
A still frighten your mother.
Progress is similarly being wrought in the realm
of drug education. In one such move, a coalition
of local groups last night presented a forum in
Pioneer High School which dealt with the conse-
quences of marijuana use.
In the forum, sponsored by the Committee to
Free John Sinclair, Canterbury House, Drug Help,
Inc., the Office of Religious Affairs, and the Peo-
ple's Coalition for Peace and Justice, four authori-
ties presented their views on problems ranging
from the adverse effects of marijuana to the pos-
sibility of its legalization.
cusses) pt.
Opinions on marijuana varied widely among
the members of the panel.
"Marijuana hardly deserves the degree of ex-
citement, and notoriety- which it has enjoyed in
recent years," said Paul Lowringer, psychiatrist
at Dftroit's Lafayette Clinic. "It is a mild intoxi-
cant recreational drug, and its users have the
right to be left alone," he claimed.
Sergeant Calvin Hicks of the Ann Arbor Police
Dept. stated that "our position is a relatively sim-
pe one. We enforce all the existing laws."
And Ann Arbor Mayor Robert Harris called
for action "to keep the lid on heroin."
For those who had never before examined the
ramifications of marijuana use, the forum was
undoubtedly educational. But for the majority
of the predominately high-school-age audience,
it seemed that they had already learned their
lesson, and learned it well, at their friendly
neighborhood streetcorner.

BOTH WANT 89.1:
WCBN and . WEMU
vie for frequency
By IDA ELROD
Two local student-run radio stations, WCBN at the University
and WEMU at Eastern Michigan University (EMU), are seeking
rights to the same radio frequency.
WCBN has applied to the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) for rights to operate at 89.1 megacycles (me).
WEMU, now operating at 88.1 me, wants to-operate of 89.1 mc
in an attempt to increase its power. The frequency on which WEMU
now operates allows a maximum of 10 watts only. WEMU, however,
has taken no action on this problem, either by applying to FCC or
formally proposing to. FCC modifications of the WCBN application.
WEMU proposes that WCBN operate at its current frequency,
since, it contends, WCBN does not need the extra power which the
higher frequency would provide.
Frederick Remley, technical director of University broadcasting
services said the University's Broadcasting Committee was presently
considering a letter received from EMU's broadcasting department
stating their proposal.
According to Remley, one of the main problems of WEMU oper-
ating at the higher-powered frequency is that it would interfere with
stations emanating out of Windsor, Ontario, Mt. Pleasant, site of
Central Michigan University, and Plymouth. EMU's answer to this
problem is a directional antenna, which Remley feels would be
"difficult to design."
Another problem Remley cites is that if WCBN were to operate
at WEMU's current frequency, it would interfere with television's
channel six.
WCBN has not yet received formal FCC approval of the new fre-
quency, but WEMU must now take some formal action if a solution
that could satisfy both parties is to be reached.

Brig. Gen. John Donaldson,
until recently a top planner
for the Joint Chiefs of Staff,
has been charged with
murdering six Vietnamese
civilians and assaulting two

South Vietnamese civilians in

alleged murders,

key are not connected with the
