Four Gullivers

in Lilliput

One of the most interesting
and recurrent features of every-
day life is the struggle between
individuals being molded to the
needs and character of large
organizations and their will to
resist. Evidence of this condition
abounds: in the size and scale of
our schools, colleges, factories,
and offices; in the helplessness of
drivers and gas station operators
being manipulated by oil com-
panies, distant sheikdoms, and
Madison Avenue ad men (“is it
snake oil they're selling?”); in the
frustration of homemakers tr:
ing to buy nutritious food from
agribusinessmen without break-
ing their budgets. This pervasive
current of people being
anonymous victims caught in a
huge Corporate State with little
control over vital sectors of their
lives (as citizens, consumers, and
workers) isa result of the process
of institution-building that
separated the average person
from competency in concerns
that matter. It is why we find so
much support for courageous in-
dividuals willing to test the rules,
auestion the beliefs, and impose
their own principles in their
chosen areas of achievement.

Among these one could count
the Solzhenitzyn, the
judge the diplomat
Kissinger, and the consumer ad-
vocate Nader. The mentality of
swimming with the tide, of play-
ing it sale by following conven-
tional rules, of accepting current
practice as the only desirable
alternative seems to be alien to
these people. Each in his own

numbers of people, and, more
importantly, have taken a strong
moral position against public
authorities whose practices and

ethics were shabby and whose
policies were sterile. In the case
of Solzhenitzyn, the cause he wa:
championing was to expose

and
lay bare the repression and terror

that Soviet leaders
(Lenin, Stalin, and Brezhnev)
have wielded on and off for fifty
years. The price he paid for his
prolitic to be
deglared a “non-person” by the
Soviet government; to be
sep his family and
nation; and to be publicly brand-
ed as a traitor. What he gained
was a vivid confirmation before

writing was to

ted from

an aroused world of all that his
writings tried to portray: a state
that lives by the bullet and the
knock in the night is weak and
desperate, and unable to silence
the truth, it must remove its ad-
vocate

In the case of Sirica, we find a
curious thing - in our system of
law which prides itself on the en-

durance of its institutions - im-

portant legal progress has been
made by jurists functioning
alone beyond the r
influence and even a
majority of other judges. It is this
ability for justice to be defined in
terms other than the survival of
the political elite that helps dis-
tinguish the Soviet and
American systems. Perhaps it is
not the durability of our legal in-
stitutions that we should marvel
at, but the good and decent per-
sons willing to obey their con-
science and their Constitution at
opportune moments

Kissinger is a living
testimonial to the fact that pur-
suing realistic courses of action
does not necessarily mean selling
out one’s ideals. In his five years
as foreign policymaker, he has
served to educate vast sections of
our population and government
and liberate them trom fears of
specilic countries (by recogniz-
ing Communist China) and
policies (by limiting arms spen-
ding). lronically, his intention of
moving the two superpowers
together probably encouraged
his boss to search for enemies at
and

home: his success in Peking
Moscow may have given Mr
Nixon and his underlings the no-
tion that they could declare war
on the Democratic Party and all

others (like Daniel Ellsberg)
who crossed them. Itisa
tribute to Kissinger’s  effec-

tiveness as an architect of sensi-
ble policies that most foreign
diplomats no longer worry much
about the possible impeachment
ol Mr, Nixon so long as Gerald
Ford agrees to keep Kissinger
aboard the ship of state.

Ralph Nader represents a
whole movement in this country
to make both private industries
and the public agencies charged
their regulation accoun-
table for products and
policies. He has shone a bright
light on the public-be-damned

with
their

attitudes of large corporations as
evidenced in unsate or hazardous
ous working con-

products, injuri
ditions, deceitful selling prac-
tices, and deceptive advertising.
Recently, he has become a self-
consumer

styled conglomerate

gress, various regulatory bodies,
state legislatures and other
public institutions. Even at the
risk of spreading his own talents

Three words can amply sum up my appraisal of the “utter nonsense” that the
Shah of Iran spoke of, I say, “Shah, nah nah.”

His statements led most Americans to believe that our domestic oil com-

panies are holding bach production and distribution of their products. Inthe

view ol most citizens. his ideas helped to contirm what they already believed

to be true, 1 eel differently than most Americans!!!
I think the Shah, in stating what he did, was trying to draw public hatred
(derived trom the gasoline and oil crisis) away from the boycotting Arab

mations and onto the seemingly “crooked” oil companies. Can you blame the

petroleum companies lor not exploring for new sourees of domestic oil when

How the New Drug Law Italian Meal
Affects

You

Joint in 5 months, (

On September |, the toughest
drug law in this country went
into effect in New York State.
Everyone should know how the
drug law affects you, so read the
facts.

The State of New York made
this law in the first place to deter
people from the unlawful sale or
possession of illegal drugs and to
rehabilitate those people who
are, or are in imminent danger of
becoming dependent on these
drugs. Also, to make it tough for
the addicts, the junkies, and the
pushers to infect others. And to
give them a chance to end their
addiction. To stop the mugging
and the crime which is a tragic
by-product of drug abuse. To
make the streets safe for you and
your family.

The drug laws make it unlaw-
ful for anyone to sell or possess
certain drugs (except as express-
ly allowed by law).

The laws and penalties apply
to people who unlawfully sell or
possess controlled substances,
whether the people be drug-
dependent persons (including
narcotic addicts) or non-addict
sellers,

The new drug laws are:
Public Health Law: Article 33;
Mental Hygiene Law: Article 81;
Penal Law: Article 220.

The drug laws provide a
schedule of crimes and related
penalties, Narcotics are not the
only drugs involved. Bar-
hituates, ampehtamines,
hallucinogens and other drugs
are included in this law too. Each
crime and its penalty is deter-
mined by specific amounts for
each drug.

Unlawful sale of any among
of marijuana is a Class C felony.
Unlawful possession is a Class €
Class D felony or a mis-
demeanor, depending the
quantity involved. Probation is
available for nearly all first mari-
juana offenses. Under
conditions in criminal prosecu-

or
on

certain

tion, if the only charge is one of
misdemeanor possession or of
loitering and where the only sub-
srance in marijuana, the court
can order adjournment in con-
templation of dismissal, not to
exceed 12 months. If the in-
dividual complies with the terns
set by the court, the charge will
he automatically dismissed at the
end of this time.

The State has developed a
comprehensive program to en-
force the new drug law. It is ad-
“ding up to 100 extra judicial
parts - facilities and personnel to
trials. and
prison facilities are also being ex-

conduct Detention
panded. So it means business.
Besides enforcing the Jaw, the
State is spending money for drug
abuse treatment. Programs are
being increased to accommodate

65,000 drug-dependent people,
including narcotic addicts.

A drug-dependent person or
narcotic addict can enter a State
or private program.

For the State program (Before
September 1, 1973) he must first
he civilly commited under the
law. Afier September 1, he can
request and receive immediate
treatment up to 7 days while the
procedure of civilcommitiment

If you know people who are,

Milne spectators for their efforts
during the 1973-1974 basketball
season

The varsity finally “put it all
together” after a miserable start,

Whether it was the addition of

personnel, the feeling of working
together, a change in coaching
tactics it really doesn’t matter.

every individual put forth even

The Other Side
of You

Oncea week, on Thursday. a group called the Workshop which is
composed of various students of the Milne School, meet and discuss
humerous problems and opinions. We, the members of the group,
sometimes play games having a lot of fun and enjoying ang learning
about each other while making friends. We describe ourselves, then
have the other members of the group describe what he orshe sees in
us.

IL is my opinion that the group has helped me realize that judging a
person by the way he or she acts is not the comp!zte picture of that
person, The way he acts is only one part of the person, and the way he
thinks and his views are others. First opinions are not always the best
