Moorman^ A Former Drug
Dependent^ Speaks In Assembly
Robert Moorman, a former
associate of Dr. Timothy Leary
and a drug dependent himself
for six years, told of the hor
rors of drug abuse at Brevard
College on October 7, 1970, in
Dunham Auditorium at 10:00
a.m.
In 1961 Mr. Moorman went
to Cambridge, Mass. to begin
his college studies. It was there
that he was introduced to and
started using drugs, back when
hippies were called beatniks.
It was not long after he had
started college that Mr. Moor
man “dropped out.”
__During the next six years,
Mr. Moorman experimented
with marijuana (extensive use),
morphine and heroin (eight
months addiction), L.S.D. and
mescaline (four years off and
on), amphetamines (five years
off and on), solvents and glues
(limited use), romalar (limited
use), barbiturates (limited use),
and various assorted pills from
-time to time.
The end of the road for the
drug dependent Robert Moor
man came in 1966 when he was
arrested in Tampa, Florida, for
grand larceny and possession
of narcotics. For fourteen
months, confined behind the
fences of the Florida State and
County Prison system, Robert
Moorman began a most painful
and agonizing rehabilitation.
After Mr. Moorman’s release
from prison, a whole new world
opened to him again, one that
he had not known for six long
years.
For the past two years, Mr.
Moorman has lectured at high
schools, preparatory schools,
colleges and universities from
coast-to-coast. As in his previous
lectures, Mr. Moorman gave a
fresh, sincere and candid ap
proach to the mounting problem
of drug abuse.
Plans for the 36th annual
Homecoming at Brevard Coll
ege, scheduled for October 10,
have been announced by the
college’s alumni office.
According to Mrs. Imogene
M. Eaker, alumni secretary, all

the college are invited to attend
Homecoming 1970, which will

ionally - ranked cross - country

Members of the Western
North Carolina United Nations
Association held a meeting and
a dinner at the University of
North Carolina - Asheville on
October 1, in observance of tee
25th anniversary of the U.N.
Representatives from some of
the area colleges were there.
Brevard was represented by Miss
Bea Burgess, Barbara HfU,
Enety Takundwa, and Christina
Oosthoek.
Before the dinner, the stu
dents met to ask questions
Some of the students thought
that the United Nations should
be scrapped because it had fail
ed to keep the peace One stu
dent observed the fact t^t the
U.N. is like a young child and
should be given a chance to
^''The'^fceaker at the meeting,
Dr Joseph E. Johnron Pr-i-
dent of the Carnegie E-::' "-
ment for International Pr-:e ii.
New York, spoke about some of
the aspects of the U.N.
Dr. Johnson commented on
the fact that even though the
United Nations has failed in
many areas, it has succeeded
in many others. For example,
the U.N. is keeipng the peace
on the island of Cyprus between
the Greeks and the Turks.
Many people wonder why the
U.N. is not stepping in and
helping countries. Dr. Johnson
said that the U.N. cannot help
any country unless that country
asks for help. The newer coun
tries today want to handle their
own affairs.
Dr. Johnson said that the
U.N. has made two big mis
takes. One is promising the Pal
estinian refugees that they
would be allowed to go back to
their homes. The second mis-
l.ke is pulling the U.N, troops
out of the Middle Eaf at the
roauc^t of Nasser in 1967.
