ICC: We Try Harder
When you're only number two, you're supposed to try harder. But
Inter-Club Council, the Avis of student government, can't seem to
overcome much of anything.
A small but perceptive group, ICC was still Just organizing when It
saw its first obstacle — no power. Granted only the power to recom¬
mend, ICC spent Its first semester faithfully recommending everything
It could possibly recommend.
It these recommendations had taken on some significance, perhaps
ICC would have been content to simply suggest. But almost all of the
Issues brought before the group were also dealt" with by the powerful
Student Senate, which could do more than recommend.
Strengthen Or Else
But the sturdy devotees of ICC kept recommending— right up until
this week when Ron Capps told the group it must either 'strengthen
ICC or face the fact that it's going to be abolished.* Capps felt at¬
tendance (usually about 20 out of a possible 100) could be increased
by passing legislation which would take away club privileges for non-
e again, ICC recommended. But this time, the vote was
o endorse Capps' proposal. The proposal, a negative ap-
the Issue, was followed by another way to "bolster" at-
t every meeting regardless of
numerical miracle will occur
a as voting with the majority.
ICC did manage to assure no misuse of the plan by applying this
vote-with-the-majorlty method only to previously announced Issues.
However well Its Intentions, ICC has not yet solved the problem
of how to attract members lo a near-powerless group. A solution
may lie. In bringing more speakers to ICC, having ICC sponsor a

Agent Robert Mannen led the 24-year-old pris¬
oner Into one of the small Interrogation rooms of
the Bureau of Narcotics Enforcement at the State
Office Building In downtown Fresno.
Unlocking the man's handcuffs, Mannen motioned
tor him to take a seat. He then switched on a small
tape recorder and sat down. Three floors below,
the traffic on Mariposa drummed softly. The brown
tape reels turned. The suspect gazed at the floor.

Mannen waved a slip of paper. 'Here's the story

years ago for possession with intent. With that

continued dreamily,  'I'm trying to figure out if

Mannen stared at the suspect. Later, after the
prisoner had been returned to the county Jail,
Mannen remarked that the Interview was typical
of many long-time 'grass-heads.'
•We find the danger of marijuana smoking in the

man I Just questioned may not tall in that category
but he ha* lost sight of reality.
•He's staring a five year sentence In the face
but he's not worried. He's letting his attorney
handle all the mundane problems since he con¬
sider* himself above the ordinary problem* ot or¬
dinary people.*
The problem* of marijuana use In Fresno appear
to be much greater than that of its powerful fellow
hallucinogen, LSD. Local police sources indicate
that while the caseload of marijuana violations re¬
mains steady, only 21 LSD cases have been pro-
ceased in the county since the first of toe year.
Fifteen of them were handled by city police and
they involved high-school and college age people.
FSC Case
Fresno State College was the source for one
case In 1966 and none, so far, In 1967, according
to Dalton Newland of the BNE. Further, Newland
believe* that the student Involved in 1948 may have
been a drop out at the time of hi* arrest. Others
may have been involved and handled by city author¬
ities without referral to state authorities.
Statistics Indicate that more hysteria attends the
collegiate use of LSD than bard facts.
Example: In Berkeley, home of the giant Univer¬
sity of California campus, S32 arrest* were re¬
corded for narcotics violations In 1986. Of these,
17 were University of California at Berkeley stu¬
dents, 80 were local high-school pupils and 27 were
Junior high students.
In Fresno, the pattern Is the same. The great
majority of narcotics arrests do not stem from the
collegiate community but from the high-schools,
Junior   high   schools   and   the   transient  public.
These statistics and assertions may prove one
of two things: 1) Few, If any, collegians use psy-
chedellcs. 2) Those who do smoke grass and drop
an occasional cap of acid are too smart to get
Of the two alternatives, the Utter would seem
most likely to be the case.
In short, LSD Is a potential problem, primarily
because of the scare publicity that surrounds the
drug and the open endorsement of its use by those
who have turned on to It. But local police officials
are not yet regarding the drug as the great and
uncontrollable problem some would have It seem.

Reagan said his hotly-debated
tuition plan was 'out for the cur¬

He promised, though, to con¬
