Mount Pleasant News (Newspaper) - October 3, 1970, Mount Pleasant, Iowa He it fair vol 92, no. 233 it. Pleasant Iowa saturday evening october 3, 1970 Price to cents these Days try John Chamberlain the Scranton commissions Weart conclusions the Scranton commissions re port on Campus unrest Wasny to quite so bad As the Early speculation based on the commission members behaviour in handling witnesses a had led us to believe it would be. Yet it was bad for All that a and it probably would have been worse if a few watch dogs such As sen. Atar Gordon Allott r-Colo., Hadnot objected1 to the disdainful treatment which physicist Edward Teller and philosopher Sidney Hook a received on the stand when they tried to make the Point that riots and bombings Are something other than Mere dissent. The Best thing about the report was its tone of utter weariness with what has happened. The commissioners had nothing important to say about toe origins of the violence but in blaming everybody for our troubles they were in effect asking for a clean slate and a new Day on the campuses from hereon in. This is certainly the a Over mastering desire of most americans who Are in revolt against paying taxes to rebuilt demolished . Bundling and burned out physics laboratories. If the Scranton commission had advocated tender a a understanding of actual arsonists and Dyn miters it would have been too much for toe millions to take and to the extent that the commission members came out against All violence whether by the ads students for a democratic society or the National guard they Are to be commended for at least knowing enough to come inside when it Rains. Too a common sense statement that everybody ought to behave in a civilized fashion does not Tell us a thing about a a causes of Campus unrest and disruption. An and hoc University research committee sponsored by Young americans for Freedom came Down hard on the crucial failure of toe commission to note that Campus disruption has flowed from a specific a Radical mind set Quot and that this mind set has been created by the so called intellectual classes. For a Long time now we have had what the University research committee Calls a a revolutionary cadre that openly acknowledges that its interest to Vietnam in the concept of student Power to control the University and in social issues of All sorts Are but Means toward which their persons can work for the attainment of their goal the a a cadre has not been toe result of a conspiracy rather it derives from a contagion. The revolutionary goons began assembling w Hen Fidel Castro and Che Guevara in Cuba to Chi Minh in Southeast Asia and Mao tse Tung in China singled out Tho nihilist Strain in Lenin a bolshevism for special attention. The a guerrilla a an activist who could afford to dispense with training in dialectics was the new romantic hero. What we had in the Early ads theory was simply an adaptation of Jungle fighter tactics to the american University. Our Mark Rudds did not strike from behind Trees they hid in the corridors of buildings and rushed the Deans doors. This was Bakunin the anarchist and Sorel the French worshipper of violence As applied to the . Groves of Academe and the contagion took hold in a society that was already too far gone in per missives in to Call the cops. Too As two members of the Scranton commission chief of police James ahem of new Haven conn., and Joseph Rhodes or. Of Harvard University have said the a killing of six students to Ohio and Mississippi was completely this is True enough trigger Happi Ness on the part of National guardsmen or state police is evidence of deficient professional training. However the killing of the Kent state University and the Jackson state College students was a result of Campus unrest and disruption not a cause. The Point is that the intellectual theory promulgated by our new left a philosophers a both among our faculty members and among the students who have wanted to break the a a establishment led to the rioting and arson that brought the soldiers to Kent state to the first place. What followed was a deplorable Accident not a the Scranton commission wants president Nixon to be a a moral Leader Quot but Nixon thinks it would be immoral to Bug out of Vietnam. He does what he thinks is right. So Why assume that he can sin against his own conscience just to please the students the commission should have directed its Appeal for a moral leadership on the Campus to the faculties and the adminis review �?T7 0 reunion plan for future by Billie Turley Between 75 and too interested volunteers gathered at the first Baptist Church Fellowship Hall this week to review the events of the 1970 Midwest old settlers and threshers reunion and to offer suggestions for improvements for future reunions. Suggestions received will be taken under consideration by the Board of directors in the coming weeks. Suggestions and additions made by visitors during their stay at the reunion had been compiled and the lists were circulated by Mary Ewart.

Too those in charge of the official camping area reported campers from 27 states representing 1753 separate units and a total of 5126 people. In addition an estimated 75 to too camping units were located in specified areas on the North grounds. There was some discussion relative to a Public address system or other Means of informing campers of activities going on in the main activity areas.

Stories were carried about the reunion in More than a dozen major magazines which Are widely circulated and additional features Are planned for the coming months. Secretary Herbert Hult stated that 2306 copies of the a greatest steam show on Earth were sold during the show. Too Everett Wright who along with others has carried the word about the reunion to various Community events and other steam shows a it Quot Quot ghost Iowa Missouri and , has already made one such Vit to promote the 1971 show. This was to in 7th annual Missouri Valley steam engine show at Boonville mo., in september. Rollie Creek of Batavia accompanied him. Twenty three crafts were exhibited this year and the country Kitchen offered additional features for visitors enjoyment. Recommendations were made for improvements in both of these areas. Too the Gas engine exhibit reached a total of 327 engines brought for showing from All parts of the country making this one of the largest exhibits of its Type in this part of the u. S. Too much credit was Given to the men and women of the Iris City cd club who handled a Mammoth Job of ground policing in addition to communications. They remained on duty around the clock from the time the first exhibit items were brought out on the grounds until the last was put away. Praise was Given for services rendered by the Youthful hostesses and dozens of other Young people who assisted in Many areas and seemed to be enjoying every minute of it. They seemed to find personal satisfaction in knowing that they were another important link in the Chain that makes old threshers what it is. Those at the hospitality tent found new ways to assist visitors this year and find that More and More Are taking advantage of the services they have to offer. Too Joe Mauck told the group of plans and Progress that have been made for the proposed opera House museum and Library in it. Pleasant on the old Thresher grounds. As a second vice president of the National society for the preservation of tent Folk and repertoire theatre he announced that a repertoire theatre festival will be held on the Iowa Wesleyan College Campus to november to officially launch the project. The film suitable for use As a promotion Media educational use and orientation has been put into motion. David Scott of it. Vernon filmed footage at this years reunion and or.

The a living history unit published by Donald e. Young for use by school children for history and social studies has also become a reality. Further plans for this will materialize this month. Too numerous suggestions were offered by those present As possible ways improvements might be implemented now and at reunion time next year such As parking terracing additional space in the Cam ground placement of additional signs so that areas can be More readily located by visitors water lines paving or Graveling additional safety measures preparing and using scripts during reunion for action exhibits programming grounds curfew landscaping storage fencing Etc. As curator for the association Helen Virden told the group of the work already accomplished in inventorying Antiques procuring statistical data on items and plans for making signs for information on All items where feasible.

Nixon looked tired when he emerged from air Force one at Heathrow Airport but perked up during the 15-minute helicopter flight Over the Lush Green English Countryside to Chequers. The Heli copter set Down on a Lawn about 150 Yards from the red Brick mansion. University shockers was chatting with four teammates at the rear of the air plane when he realized something was wrong.

More than a million spaniards Nix on avoided any exposure to the British Public. The president arrived in Britain Man Nixon and Heath talked Man to with no advisers present in says few scientific facts available on marijuana Iowa City a a the most potent reason for not using marijuana is the fact that we know so Little about it a says a University of Iowa psychiatrist. A we have Only to think of the experience with thalidomide a says or. Albert s. Norris a to recognize the potential harm that May exist and which May be unrecognizable for Many or. Norris details his ideas on a the physician marijuana and reason in the Lead scientific article in the current Issue of the journal of the Iowa medical society. The use of mind influencing drugs a has been explained in Many ways by Many people and proposed solutions have prolific yet without consensus a or. Norris writes. A the most extreme advocates of any stand tend to get the most publicity. Frequently those who use drugs have More a facts about marijuana than do most physicians. A however statistics can be manipulated and misinterpreted and unfortunately this Lias happened with marijuana. A there is a deplorable paucity of research experience with marijuana that which does exist is often poorly done and that which is Well done has often been misinterpreted a said or. Norris. Too following Are some questions posed in the journal article and answers condensed from a or. Norris text Why has there been so Little research on marijuana in the 1930�?Ts, an intensive scare Campaign associating marijuana with Mur Der insanity sex perversion and Many other crimes culminated in the marijuana tax act of 1937. Rules and regulations of the act brought an end to Legal production of marijuana and it became unavailable for any legitimate use including that of research. Cutting through red tape can take As much As a year of a researchers time or. Norris reported earlier Helen Virden reporting for the educational committee stated that Why do some people say marijuana is Safe while others say it is harmful attitudes toward marijuana became polarized in the 1930�?Ts and remain so today. There tractors who have let things go to pieces on their own a a turf. They and the Jare a a authorities and a smattering of research proclaiming on have different sources of inform one cannot make any Star Cmone a with Confidence about the Inci tion or ignore what is available. Those who see marijuana use As Donee or likelihood of mental great problem and those who see j complications with the use of Merit As harmless and perhaps even a i Ijuana. It does appear however Boon to Mankind will agree that this to a social Issue although their solutions May be different. The kinds of solutions we propose for social problems Are a reflection of our attitudes and unfortunately attitudes Are not always a reflection of information. This is clearly shown with marijuana. Too is marijuana safer than alcohol and tobacco no one knows because there have been no studies of Long time use of marijuana. It alcohol were a new drug and we gave it to too people and noted its effect Over a 24-hour period what would we see we would observe that it produced relaxation and in most people a pleasant sensation. The research would not reveal a disease called alcoholism which afflicts five million people in the United states nor would it show the shortened life expectancy and other health complications which take Many years to occur. Too what Are the effects of using marijuana along with the pleasurable effects research has shown that use of marijuana May cause mood swings and depression May intervene. Anxiety is frequently present and at times it May proceed to panic. In larger doses marijuana effects begin to resemble those of hallucinogens such As Ltd. The psychological reactions depend upon the personality of the user his emotional Stato and his physical state at the time he takes the drug the Potency of the substance he is using and the social circumstances accompanying its use. The effects on one occasion might be quite different than on another because of the variation in one or another of these factors. Plane with 43 americans aboard missing that it can produce psychotic reactions including panic states under some conditions with some people at some dose Levels. Too if marijuana is not dangerous in More obvious ways does prolonged use produce personality deterioration Many persons believe it does. They associate it with the Long hair protest movements and the leftist political leanings of the a hippie it is easy to blame these problems upon a drug but very hard to prove an Etiological relationship. There have always been dropouts from society with or without drugs. Whether drugs produce even More dropouts or whether dropouts Are simply taking drugs is very difficult to ascertain. Marijuana is widely used in various parts of the world and while there is evidence of abuse wherever it is used there Are Large segments of society in some countries who apparently use it in moderation. There does appear to be a relationship Between heavy marijuana users in these societies and those who have dropped out of the mainstream of life. Whether marijuana use is a cause or an effect cannot be answered. Taipei up a a .
