the various precincts in an effort to elect people from the four

agrees in principle with the New
Democratic Coalition's philosophy.

This philosophy is meant to
be a negation of a Democratic
party where, according to Dr.
Vetter, "the people vote their
prejudices before anything else."
Dr. Vetter said the Democratic coalition is "a national
coalition which has been a
winning coalition because it held

people voted Democratic year

But now Dr. Vetter believes

men have prostituted themselves.
VVes Montgomery gained
commercial acceptance in the last
few years of his life, releasing
painfully contrived sugarcoating
through Herb Alpert'i A&M Records. Creed Taylor produced the
Ip's in his typically flawless, unexciting style. However, the quintessence of jazz, spontaneity and
improvisation, was missing. The
music is anything but a personal
statement by Montgomery.
The plight faced by Montgomery (who in his prime was
perhaps the most important guitar improvisational stylist since
Charley Christian) and other authentic jazzmen is not an enviable one. Jazz has never moved
the mass audience, nor is it likely to. It is sometimes complicated, often exciting music. The
listener must often struggle to
assemble the disparate parts in
accord with his own psychic predilection t.

Hie late

Alpert, Hirt, and Davis?
The average American music
listener prefers a simple, uncomplicated fare. Thus, for years
Playboy readers voted Alpert (you
may have heard his first album
"Whipped Cream and Other Delights." Sonofagun!! It sounds
exactly like his tenth album) and
Al Hirt into the same trumpet
section with Miles Davis. While
a more wild Miles might not
do the two bodily harm, he certainly would refuse to play with
such a pair of commercialized
cream puffs.
Which brings us, in my typically obtuse manner to
Gary Burton. Burton's
fancy gear and flashy performances have gained him somewhat
of a bopper following. He stands
now at the crossroads, able to
cut some supersaccharine offering which would enjoy considerable commercial success, (i.e.
"Gary Burton Works Out The
Monkees Greatest Hits") Much
to Burton's and RCA's (of all
labels) credit, Burton has plunged
back into the forest, searching,
questioning, pushing himself and
his talented aggregation.
"A Genuine Tong Funeral"
marks the most complicated Burton work to date. The brilliant
Jazz composer Clara Bley wrote
the piece, subtitled "Dark Opera
Without Words," specifically for
Burton. It is not the typical
Jazz work; rather, as Miss Bley
states, "It Is a dramatic musical
production . . . meant to be performed on a stage, with lights
and costumes."
A Subtle Dirge
Thus, the work is laid out
in parts, complete with prologue
and epilogue. It is very complex
music, abruptly changing tempo
like some drunken metronome.

While the typical Alpert glob

tive. The play is given in the
Playhouse's o 1 d shelterhouse
theater, and the director and the
actors have taken full advantage of the intimacy offered by
the smaller stage.
The actors, particularly Estelle Parsons and Dick Latessa,
were superb. Miss Parsons gave
a
performance to
the role of Doris, the earthy and
not particularly bright landlady.
Hest Dress Demonstration
Mr. Latessa, whose role in
the television production
of
"Wizard of Oz" will immediately be guessed by anyone who
sees him in this play, was also
very good. He plays a
dress salesman who knows
that dresses look best when they
are coming off, and who is not
afraid to demonstrate with his
housewifely clients.
Though Ronald liishop and
Paul Miliken, the other two actors, did not turn in performances equal to those of Parsons
and Latessa, they were certainly
more than adequate.
Ed Wittstein's setting was
very appropriate. It dominated
and defined the space not only
of the stage but of the entire
theater. The importation of the
roof scraping tree was a stroke
of genius and must have been
a considerable technical feat
as well.
To a Calvinist, the overall impression of this production
might seem almost sinfully luxurious. To sit in a small and
comfortable theater and to enjoy the first performance of a
good original play is rare
enough. To be delighted by acting of Academy Award quality
is ambrosia indeed.
"Honor and Offer" will be
at the Playhouse in the Park
through December 8.

Drug Expert Speaks

Continued from Paje One
in speaking of such things as soft

legally covers marijuana and cocaine, which he said do not
produce physical dependence.
A World Health Organization
(WHO) committee, of which he
is a member has realized this
semantic confusion and has advocated that the terms be dropped
and that scientists speak simply
in terms of drug dependence, he
said.
(Indulging in a bit of colloquial semantics, Dr. I sbell defined "head" and" freak" terms
used by today's underground
drug culture; a "head" uses drugs
on occasions while a "freak"
uses them more often and is more
dependent on them.)
Dr. I sbell said there are two
types of drug dependence one
which is characterized by both
physical and psychological dependence and one which is
characterized only by psychological dependence.
Under the first type he listed
two groups the opiate types
(morphine, heroin) and the

called alcohol "the number one
drug of dependence in this country.
Under the second type those

only he listed cocaine, amphetamines (speed), LSD and cannabis. He said amphetamines "are
the most dangerous drugs . . .
speed freaks scare me to death."
Dr. I sbell said LSD was dis

covered by "a friend of mine"
Albert Hoffman who was conducting experiments with ergot
alkaloids at Sandoz laboratories
in Switzerland. He said Hoffman took some LSD and felt
"stranger and stranger, until his
legs walked out of the door without him."
Sandoz and Hoffman then began intensive studies of the drug.
It was from Sandoz that Dr.
Isbell obtained LSD for experimentation in the late 40's.
According to Dr. Isbell, humans have "filter mechanisms
that strain out all the sensory
impulses" that continually bombard them; LSD works by knocking out those filter mechanisms,
allowing a flood of sensory impulses.
He termed LSD a "dangerous drug" which can cause adverse reaction in three ways:
causing a panic state (a bad
trip), causing suicide or triggering a permanent psychosis.
"Cannabis is one of the most
widespread intoxicants in the
world," Dr. Isbell said, "and one
of the oldest. But we know less
about it than any other intoxicant.
"Marijuana should not be subjected to special controls because
alcohol is worse," he said, but
he added that pot, like LSD,
can cause adverse reactions. He
said Los Angeles psychiatrists
reported 2,000 adverse reactions
to LSD and 1,800 to pot in a
poll conducted recently.
"The message is that marijuana is not tea and because of
the law it can get you in a lot
of trouble," Dr. I sbell concluded.

Critic Explains Why
He Is Wary Of His Public
C-- J

By JOE HINDS
He ducks when he can and
comes out only after dark; he
has a hostile audience that sometimes resorts to violence when
feelings are hurt.
William Mootz, Courier-Journarts editor, leaned back in
his chair and chuckled, "That's
the way it is."
In an informal talk, Mootz
told a small group of UK Sigma
Delta Chi members, students and
professors that the critic must
live with the hostility that reviews sometimes cause.
"I was almost involved in
physical violence once," he recalled. This particular review
claimed the production focussed
too much attention on the leading
lady's physical attributes. The
leading man charged into the
Courier building looking for a
fight, specifically with Mootz.
Mootz said he fully expected
to be viewing the next play
through at least one black eye.
"My review struck a blow at the
tender artist's ego." No violence
ensued, though, as they talked
things over a bit longer.
The members of the Women's
Club of Louisville passed a
resolution of censure against him
after an unfavorable review of a
production Helen Hay es was involved in. Mootz concluded.

"This makes the critic wary of the

in his hands.
Suddenly Ding Dong pointed at
Edgar's shoes. "Look at his feet!"
All the hippies looked. Edgar
took his hands from ' is eyes and
looked. There on the b ntom of the

elf's shoes was a tr: .e of
salt.
"I must have stepped in it up at

Ding Dong said, "If I hadn't
come to Hippieville none of this
would have happened. I am the
one who must go."
Edgar told them that the Butterfly Queen was the loveliest
creature on earth, that she lived in
beauty in the most beautiful of
kingdoms. He looked unhappily at
Ding Dong's dirty face and long
hair and hanging shirt tail. It was
clear what he was thinking.
