Are we moving toward the soma society of “Brave New World?” Probably. Should we therefore le galize marijuana, hash ish, LSD, STP, peyote, cocaine, heroin, and birth control pills? Probably not. Whatever the advocates of these illegal drugs say, there has been little re search into the effects of prolonged usage. And in spite of the questionable morality of a Great So ciety stoned on diet and pep pills, these drugs have at least been approv ed, presumably after ex tensive testing by the Food and Drug Admini stration (known as the Feds to those who don’t get their speed in diet pills). While these drugs may screw your head a- round, they aren’t likely to deform your children. So this editorial isn’t to attack the pot heads of the speed freaks or the day trippers, but to ques tion the rationality of the middle class minds muddled by overdoses of “legal” drugs, DIGNITY (Continued from Page 3) differences of opinion— is the first thing to be sacrificed, “It’s true that blocking troop trains and induc tion centers is doing something about opposi tion to the U. S. govern ment. But those who feel strongly that the war per sonifies what this nation fought against some 200 years ago- -when leaders adopted the radical idea of an independent Ameri ca—must do something more. “They cannot accept and function within the system when they feel the system has a history of mistakes. “So, a handful of A- inericans have made and will continue to make their positions on the war known. And they will be punished and they will suffer. Twenty years from now when historians describe the war as a waste of humanity for the sake of national pride, those who suffer now will be comforted in the dig nity of their dissent.As for now, the war contin ues with no end in sight. And that is the greatest tragedy of all.” ECSC Students Protest “Orangeburg Massacre” By JOHN L. THATCH Over 400 students ga thered at the entrance of William Hall Gymnasium on Friday, February 23, at 6:00 p.m. to hold a peaceful demonstration in memory of and in pro test against the tragic in cident which occurred during the early part of February in Orangeburg, South Carolina. The cere mony preceded a march around the campus and the burning of the effigy of “Injustice.” John L. Thatch gave the opening prayer and acted asmas- ter-of-ceremony for the event, Javon Brothers de livered the informal ad dress, Other participants were Edward Joyner, Charlie Hoggard, Dwight Johnson, Charles Single ton, Student Government President, and Jimmy Sutton. The student par ticipation was very im pressive, and the cere mony was carried out ra ther effectively. The demonstration left the gym building and pro ceeded directly to the site where the effigy was scheduled to take place. As the effigy burn- ed, the students sang “We Shall Overcome”. Joht, L. I hatch, Vice-presi. dent of the Student Gov- ernment, gave the clos- ing remarks. The students, after closing and mourning ac tivity, moved toward Moore Hall Auditorium. As they moved in that di rection, they sang rather fervently the school’s “dear ole alama mater.” A pep rally, in hopes for the defeat of Norfolk State College, was held immediately afterward. Urban League Career Conference At ECSC The National Urban League sponsored a Ca reer Conference here, February 29, The Ur ban League is preparedto share with students, fa culty and college admini stration its fifty-seven years of contacts and ex perience in vocational guidance and job develop ment.
