'Abuses In Anything'

When asked how he would
compare the effects of drinking
alcoholic beverages and smoking
marijuana he stated, "I think
there can be abuses in anything,
even in food."

Mr. Runk, a biology professor,
explained that the policy on
marijuana and LSD was based
on the advice of Dr. Andrew
D. Hart, Director of the Department
of Student Health, Dr.
Chalmers L. Gemmill, former
chairman of the pharmacology
department in the School of
Medicine, and Dr. John Buckman,
associate professor of psychiatry.
