By Kristen Brewick
{midi-tine infill" 7

Before releasing its final re!
port to President Lee Todd.
UK's Top-20 Task Force needs
feedback from the community
about its draft proposal for bet
ting the university.

“We will consider any writ
ten feedback we receive." said
Mike Nietzel. co-chairperson of
the task force.

In the proposal. the task
force outlined six characteris-
tics that will be used to
measure UK's progress toward
Top-20 status,

The characteristics include
creating an array of competi-
tive academic programs, at»
tracting students and faculty
capable of contributing signifi-
cantly to their programs. dis-
covering new knowledge. diver-

sifying the campus community

and improving the well-being of

the commonwealth.

”It's important to know
how to measure programs for
us to see whether or not we're
being successful." Nietzel said.

Since January. the task
force has conducted forums
across campus to garner input
from faculty. staff and students.

"There is a sincere effort to
get reactions from a wide vari-
ety of constituencies.” said Su-
san Scollay. an associate profes»
sor in the (‘oliege of Education.
who served as the task force li-
aison for the President' s (‘om-
mission on Women

Diversity committee mem-
bers also sit on the task force.

Not many changes are ex-
pected to be made to the draft.
since the 17K community has al-
ready had numerous chances to

get involved with the proposal.
said Scott Smith. a task
force member.

Smith said the report is not
complete. but rather a
living document.

Phyllis Nash. co-chair of the
task force. said the task force al-
ready received a number of m
sponses to the draft. and the iilEi
jority have been positive.

"People are taking this re
port seriously." she said.

Jim Kerley. president of

UT and a member of the task
force. said students should be-
come more engaged in UK's
goal to reach Top—2i) status

()ne of the issues addressed
by the task force is how UK can
help Kentucky. Kerley said stu
dents can contribute to this goal
through community service

Responses to the draft are
due by April 22 and the final
draft will be submitted to Todd
April 30. after the task force
puts together the final proposal.

“We'll work weekends to
get this done." Kerley said.

Saturday marks ‘stoner new year'

This Saturday is one of the

though it isn't on the calendar.

Saturday is April 20. a day

in some small circles as the
"stoner new year.”

The celebration for the hol~

breakfast is a golden opportuni
ty for those who don‘t eat

“Breakfast is one of the ease

Todd spoke about the
Bucks for Brains program.
which has brought 142 new
professors and endowed chairs
to UK. Todd said Governor's
Scholars scholarship applica—
tions are up from 220 last year
to 550 this year.

He also mentioned the 1m

ment installment plan and
how the administration is
working to keep tuition

Since then. the tradition
has spread across the country.

Many students celebrate
4:20. but have misconceptions
of the number's significance.
Many think 4:20 is the Califor-
nia penal code to refer to mari-
juana use. Others say it is the
number of chemicals in mari-
juana. But. according to High
Times. marijuana has 315
chemicals.

Though a number of stu—
dents don’t have trouble recog-
nizing the date. Sgt. Tiua
Chilton of the UK Police said
she‘s “never heard of that."
She said UK Police have not
made any additional prepara-
tion for Saturday.

The Lexington Police De-
partment is also not con-

“Our reason for existence

Todd told commissioners
he had tried to cut back and
simplify UK's administration.

He also announced the cre-
ation of the vice president of
academic and service outreach.

Todd said in his efforts to
foster cooperation with the
city. county and area universi-
ties. he has made sure all prac-
tices were done with the pub-
lic‘s interest in mind.

“If we can't solve the prob-

Gatewood Galbraith goes through his yoga routine at Woodland Park last Thursday helore taking a jog. "i try to exercise every day," Galbraith said. "i

need to get as much lresh air into my lungs as possible." Galbraith. a local attorney, is also a marijuana enthusiast.

By Andrea Uhde
ASSISIANI NEWS EDllOR

Gatewood Galbraith loves
marijuana. Galbraith. a UK
graduate who is now a lawyer.
is a pot spokesman in a busi
ness suit -- a man his clients
trust to handle their car acci-
dent injuries.

He‘s a man who could be
likely to take his clients into
his office to chat about ganja.
He spends his free time in a
swirl of speeches. movies and
magazine covers that exhibit
his enormous support for the
green leafy plant.

At 55, Galbraith still hap-
pily admits to smoking mari-
juana. A good friend to singer
Willie Nelson. he‘s been fea~
tured on the cover of High
Times. a magazine about mari—

juana. He‘s a man with baby
blue eyes and a deep. gruff
voice. and can look a person
straight in the eye and serious-
ly talk pot. His goals include
getting elected to a high gov-
ernment position in the state
and legalizing marijuana. He‘s
run for governor three times
and for Congress once.

A selfeproclaimed conserv-
ative. Galbraith often comes to
campus to speak to fraterni-
ties, WRFL and classes.
Two of his daughters Molly
Galbraith and Abby Sears ~
attend UK.

Last week. Galbraith sat
down in his office on East
Main Street, just across from
police headquarters. for a can-
did discussion of why he sup:
ports marijuana and why stu-
dents should care about the

drug‘s legalization.

Q You‘re a well known
supporter for medical iiiariiiirr
na. What is it that keeps
you so adamant about govern
ment support for pot for med
ical purposes?

A I think all use is med
ical. It helps you think and it
helps you breath easier. l was
asthmatic up until the time I
was 21. when I discovered that
marijuana cured asthma. l
have not had an asthma attack
since then. I am unashamed

? After getting a bache.
lor‘s .egree in general studies.
you decided to continue your
education by applying to law
school. Why law?

AI got to the point where
l was going to be in jail or dead
at a young age unless I under-
stood the American system. So
I decided I was going to go to
law school. become an attor-
ney. run for governor and
change the marijuana laws.
I‘ve been to the best places.
met the nicest people. smoked
the best pot and practiced the
most dramatic law. I've been

very privileged to take part in
the American judicial system
I marvel at it every day.

How does your fight
for legalization pertain to
UK students?

A I think a lot of college
students understand that alco.
hol is destructive. and that
smoking marijuana is an intel
ligent alternative. Also. I think
there is increased focus on ha
rassing and shaking down
marijuana smokers for several
reasons: It's good training in
how to conduct field arrests
for young officers. and it's
easy duty _ marijuana smok-
ers don't fight back.

Why do you. as a
pot enthusiast, think that
many college students turn
to marijuana?

A College students are in
a particular age when they
have a chance to actually man-
ifest their rebellious streak,
The college student is
an inquisitive character. and
what they find is that smoking
marijuana is not an unpleas-
ant experience. Many of
them find it to be a very de-
lightful alternative to the alco-
hol symptoms of headaches.
missed classes and nights
they'd like to forget.

You're often on cam-
pus. When students recognize
you. what do they say?

A I can walk across cam-
pus and everything‘s good. No
body attacks me anymore.
They‘ll say. “Hey Gatewood.
light it up." That's fine with
me. I don't mind that at all.
When I decided to step forward
on this, I decided that when I
appear on TV. I want people to
say. “You know. I don't want
my son or daughter smoking

marijuana. but if they do.
that's the guy I want them to
smoke it with "

Q What do you tell the
student organizations when
you speak to them"

A I tell them all the same
thing. Watch your ass. be a
warrior. don‘t back down.
learn the system. don't be a
pawn in it. go down hard.
question authority and don't
let the bastards grind
you down.

Q How do they respond"

A "Golly. who is this guy
and why is be telling
me all this stutf no one has
ever said to me" But they
appreciate it. I can tell they
appreciate it. Some of them
are offended. but that's great
If you're not offended
in the education process.
you're uneducable."

Q What is the role of col
lege students in this issue?

A. Every generation has
the question dropped in their
lap: What's worth fighting and
dying for? Answering that
question is what gives passion
in this lifetime.

Q After your law experi
ences and the fight for the
legalization of marijuana
what message do you have
for students?

A College students. espe
cially today. should be remind-
ed that they inust approach
life as a warrior, anti that
there is nobody out there who
is going to hand them any
thing. In fact. they will be vic»
timized by the system if
they're not careful.
