by claiming that no causal relationship had been established in any study.
He likened the current "myths" to the misconceptions that tobacco was once thought to cause impotency, delirium tremens, sexual perversions and insanity
Glover also read from a copy of the Report of the National Commission on Marijuana and Drug Abuse. The commission, which published its extensive findings in two volumes, recommended the criminalizing of marijuana for private use.
There are also several practical economic enforcement motives for legalization.
Glover noted that although President Nixon's own appointed committee came out in favor of limited legalization, Nixon refused to accept their recommendations.
If it were legalized, Glover said, the law enforcement effort now expended in catching pot users and sellers could be focused on the heroin dealers.
"The guy who is selling marjuna is probably the same guy who is selling LSD, ampetamines and all the harder drugs," he said.
Glover reasoned that legalization of pot

A cutback of train crews from three to two on most freights is a vital element in the railroad's struggle to wipe out operating losses, reportedly running at $800,000 a day.
Penn Central said it would save about $100 million annually, starting in six years, when the 5,700 jobs were eliminated through attrition.
The transportation union, in more than 18 months of negotiations, has resisted the crew reduction on grounds that it would be unsafe. The railroad disagrees.
Jervis Langdon Jr., one of three court-appointed trustees perniss Penn Central's reorganization, said a five-day strike would cost about $20 million in revenues and cause a cash crisis within a few weeks.

Kansan Correction
The Kansan erroneously reported Wednesday that the property at 1231 Oread Ave. was being purchased by the KU Endowment Association. The Endowment Association is purchasing property at 1230 Oread Ave., which is owned by William L. Sloane, who owns the property at 1231 Oread is presently owned by Fred Six, 1001 Avalon Road, and is not one of the seven sites recently sold to the Endowment Association.
would "break the connection" of possible interaction between hard and soft drug users by not forcing them to meet at the same distribution point. He indicated that this would decrease the chances that marijuana users might try harder drugs.
Glover also mentioned that regulated sale and taxation of marijuana could be a valuable source of income for state and local government.
The committee adjourned without any decision on whether to kill the bill, send it to the House floor or accept the substitute bill. After the hearing, Kelly said that there would have to be a further hearing because some mistake in publicizing the hearings would be so thought that only proponent arguments would be heard at Thursday's meeting.
National, Local Sales Of Little Cigars Rise
By TIM WINTERS
Kansan Staff Writer
National sales of the new little cigars, including the Winchester and Derringer brands, have been on the increase, and in recent years the number of national sales in Lawrence are no exception.
Stella White, sales clerk at the downtown Raney's drugstore in Lawrence, said that their sales of the cigars were steadily increasing.
"They have been selling well since they came out," White said. "Somewhat new always sells, especially with all of the television advertising."
Margie Herren, the tobacco buyer for the Hillcrest Rany's, said that the Winchester cigars were the sales leaders, but they still sold them in stores before they would catch cigarette sales.
"I THINK the Winchester cigars are selling because of the advertising and their low price." Herren said. "But the cigarette sales are still much higher."
Some Lawrence tobacco shops did not report a sales increase in the little cigars, George Wilson, owner of George's Pipe and Brewing Company, did not pick up as fast as the national sales.
"I may be an exception, since I read in the reports that the cigar sales were really up slam bang, but most of my customers are the more expensive cigars," Wilson said.
Wilson said that one factor which helped the sales of the little cigars was the price difference between the little cigars and cigarettes.
"THE PRICE differential from other cigars and cigarettes does help the sales," Wilson said. "There is a price difference of 15 cents between the cigars and cigarettes."
Carol Randel, sales clerk at the Plaza
imary's, said that she had not noticed that
she was not wearing a mask.
"Cigar smokers are cigar smokers," Randel said,"and they stick with their favorite brands. They may try something new, but they go right back to their old
"We have had many women buy them," White said. "It may be because they (the cigars) are something different or that they just want to try them."
Although the national television ads have been aimed at the younger men, women
HHERREN SAID that more older men than younger men were buying the little cigars. She said that not many women had bought the little cigars at her store.
Buddy Hemphill, Cleveland, Miss., graduate student, said that the cigars tasted terrible and would never replace the cigarette.
Other smokers of the new cigars said that
the taste was not too bad, but that the price was what made them buy the cigars. One University of Kansas professor said that although he was a cigar smoker the heavy smoke bothered other people, so he switched to the little cigars during the day.
Although the ads for the little cigars are helping to increase sales the television ads also serve to persuade the Federal Trade Commission. Because cigarette advertising has been banned from television many people should see the cigar advertising should be allowed.
"THE FITC is looking hard at the ads," Del Brinkman, associate professor of journalism, said, "but the commission still does not consider the little cigars as
The television advertising is coming under fire because of both the cigarette ban and the sexual overtones of the ads, Brinkman said.
The FTC has not passed a ruling on the advertising of the little cigars.
The little cigars are not classified as gheeches but are not intended for inhalation. The cigars are not intended for inhalation.

Yearbooks Solicit Student Opinion
Kansan Staff Writer
By KATHY TUSSING
Students at Kansas State University voted Wednesday to increase the activity fee allocation for student publications from $2.33 to $3. The 67-cent increase will be used to continue support for their yearbook, the Royal Purple.
Yearbook staffs at colleges and universities have been consulting their student bodies to determine what students want in their yearbooks, according to Dawn Tann of the University.
Tann said recently that for a while many college yearbook editors used their yearbooks to make "advertising" content.
"The University of Pittsburgh had some publications that were beautiful from a graphics point of view and had no trouble winning awards," he said. "But as far as the student body was concerned, it was a burner."
The yearbook of the University of Kansas has had problems of its own, according to a report by a student group.
Yoe said that since the Jayhawk changed its format in 1933 from one book to several magazine-type booklets collected in book form, there had been only five times
"WHETHER THE Jayhawner survives depends in part on how much the students want it." Yoe said. "A year ago, I was 17, and if there would be a 7 Jayhawner."
when the Jayhawk operated at a loss. The last two weeks were in 1970 and 1971.
The distribution of the 1970 Jayhawker was not completed until the fall semester of the following year. Yoe said. Then the department wrote a letter to Jayhawker "turned off all of the buyers," he said.
THE FORMAT was changed because it was cheaper than the one-book format, Yoe said. He said, "They went heavy on copy and on pictures," because it was less expensive.
Until this year, the Jayhawker could be ordered at enrollment. Statements were not paid at enrollment but were sent to the students.
Another blow to the yearbook came two years ago when the Student Senate passed a law that made it illegal for a proportion could be used to buy advertising space in the Jayhawker. Because many campus organizations received most of their support from the senate, the action put in place would have been unnecessary.
Cost is also a reason that the Jayhawker is changing back to the traditional one-book format this year, Yoe said. The cost of filling年books with pictures has become increasingly cheaper the past few years, he said.
"It was easier to sell yearbooks," Yoe said. "The businessman drivers didn't have
THE STUDENT SENATE, however, had
to make up the deficit from Jayhawker losses in 1971. The Senate is responsible for expenses of publications it authorizes, Yoe said.
This year's Jayhawer staff has sold
a lot of their jackets. Yoe says,
"I'll be far cry from the heyday."
"We'll probably never see the heyday we have seen in the past," Yoe said. "Yearbooks will find how they can be useful or they'll disappear."
"Some schools give school credit to certain members the yearbook staff," he
Many schools are making an attempt to help out yearbook personnel, according to TPCB.
Scholarships and room and board are also available to yearbook staff members at
