University Daily Kansan Thursday, April 22, 1971 3 Grass Experiences Told By WALTER LIETZEN Kansan Staff Writer Three years ago Red turned on to a marijuana cigarette. He has been turned on ever since. "It's really great," he said recently. Red, not wet 20, began to use marijuana as an experiment. He was so shocked that he harm in the use of marijuana, except that it was illegal. The benefit of being turned on was to make him look of being caught. Red said. Red said that while he was a junior in high school he and a colleague both had drugs. Their project was not part of school work. They just became "interested in their needs" and made magazine and newspaper accounts of drug problems and of talks with kids their own age who claimed that they were involved. "We had a real interesting day. We felt good, it was real relaxing, it was stimulating. We must have He said that a classmate had three cigarettes and one morning they decided to try it. 'If grass was readily available and legal, I would quit smoking cigarettes altogether.' laughed for half an hour in the John before we went to class. I used to drink like a fish but this wasn't anything like drinking. It was different. There were no cigarettes, and I knocked three cigarettes that day." RED POPPED his knuckles, that he told that a couple of weeks apasd before he decided to try it again. He began to use it more Red said that no one in high school could tell he was using it unless they were really looking for it. However, he said, one time in his career police lent a seat of the talk with his classmate. The lieutenant asked him to talk about the lieutenant talked to him also. The lieutenant said they wanted to stomp it out. But he never did. When asked when his parents realized he was on marjana, he said he didn't think they knew for a long time. "My brother-in-law found some Senate Column Urges Opinion From Students in my room and gave it to mom and we went into what he had done so I just sat there until I was good and ready. They were waiting up for me when I were up. "I told them," Red said, "its not as bad as you think—it's ' . . . if the police are trying to change people's ideas, get them off drugs, they are going about it in the wrong way.' e wrong way. The Student Senate Communications Committee is now accepting editorial comments from students about the Student Senate Commission, which will be published in a weekly column in the Kansan and in a mimeographed newsletter put out by the Senate, Steve Hix, cochairman of the committee and Mark兴ompore, said Wednesday. really not the killer weed and I you hear about it. As a matter of fact its prettier good. Why don't the stuff fit here? And the stuff from my room, .trvL." Red began to cough. He said a cold was bothing him. He siped on the coffee; his hand was not on steady. HE SAID THAT his parents "raised hell about it for a while and threatened to take it to the police but never did." Their reaction when they saw that they had no influence in the matter was to make an app with a member of the vice squad. Red got married in his senior year and later was "kicked out of school." He got a job. "It was a very friendly get together. We were assured that there were no serious consequences at this stage," he said. "I had lots of jobs. None of them I liked. I thought about finishing high school but never did," he said. The high school counselor helped Red get a job. He was to work 20 hours a week and go to college. He could have graduated with his diploma. Hix urged students to bring their comments to the office of the Committee between 3 and 5 p.m. through Thursday. Their office is in the Student Activities Center in front of the building across from the Kansas Union. He said he had experimented with other drugs but not heroin. Heroin is too easy to get hooked and it can be the he is not hooked on marijuana "I can quit anytime. If grass was readily available and legal, I would quit smoking cigarettes altogether," he said. He said that his wife felt much the same as he did about her being pregnant, but they were married, but she quit since she became pregnant. She has quit everything except anything "anthing else would be harmed." Red said that he has sold enough drugs to keep him stoned most of the time. In a good Only one company had submitted a bid for insurance for housing at the University of Florida where the deadline Wednesday. Bell said the bid was "very competitive." He said the matter did not depend on Wilson, who directs of housing at Lehigh University, to say the least, extremely high. Fletcher Bell, state insurance commissioner, said Wednesday afternoon that the bid submitted by the United States Fire Insurance Company. There was an evangelistic appeal in Red's attitude about marijuana. to drug users who were busted. And kids got kicked out of school, too. You can't kind to kid of someone who don't screw up his education. I don't think that holding a guy against you is hard. Education, is going to help him out. When they kicked me out of it, I did not see any sense in that that at all. If it was kind of stupid, you would think that they would want to kid off them. They sure helped me. Bell said the bid set an annual premium rate of $100 per share for three times that amount. The bid covers a total valuation of property at $354. Bell compared the bid for insurance at KU to the rates given on the K-State University website. KState University a year ago announced annual premium for the K-State policy was $86,216, he said, and an occurrence was deductible. month, sales were at $200, he said. Red said that he had quit selling drugs since his wife had become pregnant. He seemed to have never felt the responsibility of fatherhood. Red said that his greatest satisfaction in the use of drugs was helping other people turn on. Red was asked what happened to drug users, who were bursted. "If you know someone that is interested . . . put a good strong rap on them. Answer all their questions, tell them what to do with it. Let them try some and make up their own mind. Chances are they will like it. I could make enough to eat and pay for themselves and keep mysupplied." "I think everyone ought to try grass," he said. "Too many people are talking at it and don't know what they are taking them; they are misinformed, definitely misinformed, and that is bad." He said that new customers were not hard to get. The bid for KU, which was taken by the state purchasing department, will be submitted today to the Committee on Surya and insurance. The committee will give whether to accept or reject the bid "If that's what they are trying to do," he said, "if the police are trying to change peoples ideas, get them off drugs, they are going to die." And that is what, turning you more and more against the establishment. When asked if he thought that the use of drugs was worth the risk of being caught, he became upset and stirred a defensive pose. The policy would include fire and lightning insurance, extended coverage insurance and malicious indemnation and malicious mischief. Snakes now on exhibit are a four-foot bull snake; an arboreal black snake; a red milk snake; a small snake; an eastern snake in Kansas; a few grown ring neck snakes and worm snakes and a three foot prairie king snake.

For a building with an insured valuation of more than $250,000 deductible a location would be $25,000. The maximum deductibility in any year would be $50,000. Members of the committee are Bell, Attorney General Vern Miller and State Auditor Clay Hedrick. "YOU FEEL LIKE YOU are doing them a good turn . . . it's kind of like you are opening up mind. It's really great," he said. Lone Bid Entered On KU Insurance The snake, exhibit, the hibernating live animal exhibit, has been displayed sixth floor of the museum. Joseph Collins, museum herpetologist, said the live snakes would be used to reintroduce dead ones.
