The fault does not lie entirely with
UK, Doran said, but "with a system
of higher education which did not permit development at the master's level
to feed the University at the doctoral
level."
In the four state universites, there
is no plan to continue graduate work
beyond the master's level. Thus, many
feel that one of the solutions to increasing graduate school productivity lies with
these state universities which will produce
more master's degrees. These, in turn,

More important, however, the

able details out of the document.
It also demonstrates the charter's
flexibility, which is extended by the
statement that "the respective
powers and duties of the board
and of the superintendent shall be
prescribed by law." In this day of
constant change, such flexibility is
necessary if the basic constitutional
law is to serve the people as it
should.

The second important change involves the state's system of higher
education. Under the terms of the
existing constitution, the governor

can gain complete control of every
college and university governing
board, because he appoints every
voting member during his four-yetenure in office.
The proposed new charter partially eliminates this possibility by
providing staggered terms for board
members. Although a governor
elected to succeed himself still
could appoint most of the voting
members of the boards throughout
his two terms, the change in the
revision is an obvious improvement.
In addition to the obvious
danger of possibly having board

Registrar Elbert Ockerman has
called for students to be realistic
in filling out
forms
this week and next. The call deserves serious attention.
With class assignment priorty
based on grad point standings,
it is useless and expensive for
the student with a low academic
average to register for prime-tim- e
class hours. As the register points
out, nothing but long lines, indrop-add- s

At the same time, the whole
process is rendered
a total waste of time unless both
students and advisers carefully consider schedules and individual
needs at this time. The adviser
who does not advise now is failing
as adviser. And the student who
waits until January to choose his
real schedule by dropping and adding courses is merely putting off
decisions which will have to be
made until a time when good advice will be unavailable.

punished by accrediting agencies
due to this existing framework. Both
of these fears are greatly minimized
by the revision.
With these two major changes,
the proposed constitution can symbolize significant advances in the
state's educational system. Divorcing public education from partisan
politics should be a major concern
of every voter in the Commonwealth on November 8.

Letters To The Editor

Behind The Times
To the Editor of the Kernel:
It seems that Kentucky and its
drug laws are behind the times.
In North America and Canada a
quarter of a million members of
the "Native American Church"
inject mescaline in the form of
peyote into their systems every
Sunday. Their use of peyote has
been upheld by the United States
District Court of Appeals in 1962.
The court called all offenses and
violations null and void, invalidly
authorized and unconstitutional.
On the state level, a court in
Arizona, on July 26, 1960, ruled
the statute on peyote deprived
people of their freedom of religious
worship guaranteed by the 14th
Amendment of the Federal Constitution. In Oklahoma on Oct.
10, 1918, the practice of the "Native American Church" was incorporated under law.

of one perfewer than
cent, the rate of attempted suicides was slightly over a tenth
of one percent, and these involved
psychiatric patients with histories
of instability. Among those who
took the drug simply as subjects
in experiments, there were no attempted suicides and the psychotic
reactions occurred in fewer than a
tenth of one percent of the cases.
In other words, we could administer LSD to every student on
the UK campus and get between
three and five cases of psychotic
reactions and one or two attempted
suicides.

We must

remember

that the

major constituent of peyote is
mescaline. And that now some
of the students at this University
are under arrest for possession of
mescaline and LSD.
Science has shown through cross
tolerances that mescaline and LSD
work through the same channels
in the body and have similar effects. Some claim the effects are
the same.

Contrary to the amount of publicity given to the bad effects of
LSD, Scientific American published these statistics in April 1963.
In a survey in which LSD was
administered on 25,000 occasions,
psychotic reactions lasting more
than 48 hours were observed in

social delinquency.
Someday, I hope we look at
the present drug probe as we look
at the witch hunts in Salem.
