In criminal cases dealing with intoxication, the lawyers must school themselves to the extent that they acquire some appreciation for the scientific viewpoint, M. Carl Slough, dean of the School of Law, said Tuesday night.
'Need Clear, Modern Laws For Drunkenness
He said all this points up the need for research laboratories where lawyers, psychiatrists, psychologists, clergymen, and educators in general might pool knowledge, thus carrying on intensive investigations of the criminal and his moods.
In speaking of the definitions of the alcoholic, he said there is no such human as the "inebriate personality."
He said they can contribute more to the adequacy of legal procedures if their studies of abnormal conduct are carried on in closer contact with social context.
Dean Slough spoke on "Alcohol: Its Legal By-products," at a Humanities lecture in Fraser Auditorium.
"They might leave their private offices, their clinics and hospitals, and once in a while join the lawyer in his office, in the Legislature and the courtroom," he said.
"Among inebriates we find a mixture of psychotics, neurotics, psychopaths, drug addicts, and apparently normal individuals," he said. "Not all persons who drink lose their inhibitions and commit crimes that are alcoholic in the strict sense of the word."
Partly cloudy with little change in temperature tonight and tomorrow. High both days in middle 50s, low' tonight in lower 30s.
"We will arrive at an effective means of solution to the prehistoric problem of alcohol and crime if our advances to date can be preserved and extended," Dean Slough said.
Because drunkenness rules that there was no premeditation in the crime, it is true in some cases where the person could never be tried for first degree murder. He said that this has been reduced as far as manslaughter in some courts because the person was incapable of conceiving intent.
"It is evident that many clinical psychiatrists and psychologists have not studied psychotic behavior in life situations that are legally important," he said.
Weather
He said that not all heavy drinkers are alcoholics. A radical might consider anyone who drinks as an alcoholic of sorts and the hyporite thinks anyone that drinks more than he does is an alcoholic, he said
He said that in understanding the complete picture of law and intoxication it is necessary to remember that voluntary intoxication does not excuse the individual from the crime.

ASC Blocks Prelock Motion To Run Alone
Leaders Blamed For Apathy Toward ASC
The lack of interest in student government is the fault of the students holding governmental offices, rather than that of the average student, Joe Madawela, Kaduguarawa, Ceylon special student, told the All Student Council Tuesday night.
As one remedy for apathy, Madawalea asked why the ASC didn't take on some controversial issues. He mentioned the work of the Committee for Improvement in Human Relations on the campus and said the ASC has done very little about this problem.
Segregation Near Campus
He said there are places "just two blocks from the Kansas Union" where a person may be refused service because of his race.
The ASC could do a lot in this situation, Madawela said. One of the problems of the human relations group is that their members aren't public figures on campus as ASC members are.
In relation to this idea, Dick Fatterson, Kansas City, Mo. junior and chairman of the ASC, said he had received a letter from a member of the CIHR, Linda Bodle, Plattsburg, Mo. junior, offering to meet with the ASC and explain the CIHR work.
Madawela was president of the Ceylon National Union of Students, and has attended student government meetings in Nigeria, the Netherlands and several in the United States.
There are several schools o thought on the purpose of student government, Madawela said. For example, the Asian students feel it should demonstrate the students' role in the social changes taking place, while South American students believe it is an avenue for protest of government repression.
Student Government Purpose
Madawela gave the reasons for ineffectiveness in American student government as the security and stable society the U. S. student has had, and that student leaders may be interested in other activities. These interests slow down activities in student government, he said.
"The student should give nothing less than his best for student government." Madawela said. "It is one of the most important things in student life."
Roger M. English, assistant professor of design, died at 12:27 p.m. today in Lawrence Memorial Hospital from a pancreas infection complicated by pneumonia. He was 39.
Roger M. English Dies In Hospital
He came to KU in 1953 as an instructor in design and was promoted to assistant professor in 1957. He was teaching industrial design and was in charge of the industrial design major.
Prof. English had been in the hospital since March 17. He lived at 2301 Louisiana Street.
He Wants ASC To Pick Vice-President If He Wins
A move by Ed Prelock, Cleveland, Ohio senior, to allow him to run for student body president without a vice-presidential candidate, was batted down at the All Student Council meeting Tuesday night.
Instructor Gets 2 Grants
Chester A. Newland, assistant instructor of political science, will receive two study grants from the Social Science Research Council.
CHESTER A. NEWLAND
Newland was notified Monday he will receive a 12-month grant for post doctoral independent research. He will do his research in the influence of legislative periodicals on the Supreme Court, the same subject he is studying for his dissertation.
The other grant will be for a summer institution on judicial process. The institute will be July 8 to August 22 in Madison, Wis. Newland said about 15 political scientists will attend the session.
Newland said most of his work will be done in Washington, D.C. He said he hoped to be able to publish some articles at the end of his study.
The summer grant will amount to about $580, Newland said. He isn't certain of the amount for the 12-month grant.
Mr. Newland graduated from North Texas State College, Denton Tex., in 1954.
The batting was done by Dick Patterson, Kansas City, Mo. junior and chairman of the ASC, who was in the awkward position of appearing to throw a roadblock in the way of an opponent to his own presidential campaign.
Patterson ruled the proposed resolution by Prelock out of order.
Prelock's resolution was that he be permitted to run by himself and if he won, the vice-president be selected by the new chairman of the ASC approved by a two-thirds majority of the ASC.
Prelock quoted Section 13 of ASC bill No. 1 as authority for the proposal. The section provides that the ASC many legislate on matters "of a temporary nature, by resolution requiring majority vote."
Prelock's present situation is indefinite, since his vice-presidential candidate, Mary Olson, Wichita freshman, withdrew from the race Sunday.
Patterson's grounds for ruling the resolution out of order were that it would require suspension of certain parts of the ASC constitution, which is forbidden in Section 12 of ASC bill No. 1 except by amendment.
The student court will decide whether Prelock may run without a vice-presidential candidate.
Earlier in the meeting, the ASC voted ar. additional $230 to a $100 appropriated for the Forensic League, the whole amount to pay expenses of KU debaters Ray Nichols, Lawrence sophomore, and Ken Irby, Fort Scott senior, to West Point for the national West Point debate tournament.
The Council also heard a report on classification of the Student Bar Assn. The SBA wants to be classified as "social, service, or administrative" group, so it may ask the ASC for funds toward an expected deficit from the Law Day banquet.
The eight week amendment, which says ASC vacancies occurring within eight weeks of the general election shall remain vacant until the election, was passed by a 10-8 vote.
It will go to a vote of the student body at the spring general elections.
Three ASC members were appointed to work with apprentice ASC members after the spring elections
Origin Of Modern Art Next Humanities Topic
A Humanities Series lecture on "The Ancestry of Modern Art" will be given at 8 p.m. Tuesday in Fraser Theater by the sixth Humanities lecturer this year, Dr. H. W. Janson, chairman of the department of fine arts, New York University. The address will be illustrated with slides.
At 4 p.m., Monday, he will speak on "After Betsy, What?" at an informal discussion in the Kansas Union Browsing Room. The "Betsy" in the title is the chimpanzee "painter" in the Philadelphia zoo.
During his 3-day visit to KU, Dr Janson will speak to classes and other student groups in art history, German civilization, history, fine arts, painting, poetry, and political science.
His latest book, "The Picture History of Painting," done in collaboration with his wife, Dora Jane, has been called "one of the great art books of our generation" by Theodore Rousseau, Jr., curator of painting at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. It was simultaneously published in Europe in German, French, Italian, Dutch, Spanish, Swedish, and Norwegian.
In 1952, he won the College Art Association Award for his book, "Apes and Ape Lore in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance."
