But the evils of marijuana have
changed all this. The drug works

The Federal government's tax
revenues from Individuals has Increased from $1.1 billion ln 1935
to $84.4 billions In 1969. The national debt, during the same
period, has Increased twelve-fold
- from $E8.7 billions to J369.T
billions. Government has saddled
our generation with this debt, and
It will still exist after most of us
Government has felt the need
to provide many services for the
people, or some of them, which
they supposedly could not get
from the private sector. Among
these services are Social Security and a myriad of other
welfare programs.   These ser-

In the hirth control plot.
Hopefully, there will be many
who heed the call and come to
the aid of America.
It is sheer folly to ask the
American people who work hard
and pay taxes, to continue to
pay more taxes so that more
people can gel more money for
not doing anything. The people
will rebel sooner or later. One
manifestation of this rebellion
occurred In November, 1968,
when the higher education building construction bonds could not
be sold to the people of California.
Another    occurred   early   this
voters turned down a tax override proposal, which caused Madera High School to cancel its
sports program for next year.'
These events did not, of course,
do anything to reduce welfare;
however, they did keep money out
of the hands of government and
left It ln the hands of the people,
to spend as they see fit.
Now arises a new hope for the
beleagured taxpayers, and this
must be the best hope yet. There
ls a move afoot to repeal the
federal government's power to
tax Individuals, now authorized
by the 16th Amendment to the
Constitution. This will force the
federal government to stop many
of Its programs, most of which
are Illegal, and let the people
spend their Incomes as they see
fit. It will force the federal
government to Uve by the Constitution It has thus far violated
with Impunity, since the 1930's.
It will return government to a
position whereby It has less power to rule the Individual's life.
Yet, at the same time, It will
not reduce (for the present) the
power to tax corporations and
other things..

For example, a major misrepresentation - and one that
does great damage-is Dr. Falk's
reference to a late night meeting
of Fresno State CoUege students
a few nights before the recent
student boycott of classes. In
Dr. Falk's words:
•At our college . . . this past
week a meeting was held until
1:00 a.m. by a group of students,
who 1 would refer to as the hardcore militants of a national organization with certain faculty
members also present.'
This statement is a bald distortion of reality. Indeed there
was a meeting. And It did last
until  one ln toe morning. How-

violence and property destruction. The Acting President even
went so far as to claim that violence was the ultimate aim of
those at the meeting.
Nothing could be farther from

i   of
at this
meeting that the idea of Student
Marshals was developed. After
the boycott the campus Chief of
Security puMlcly referred to the
Marshals as the most constructive action students have taken
in thirteen years.
If only Dr. Falk had talked to
us before, he delivered his 111-
concelved speech to the Bar Association these distortions might
have been avoided. Itlsbecoming
painfully clear that coordination,
consultation and rational discussion are grinding to a standstill
on our campus.
On page four Dr. Falk referred
to the proposed "boycott and
strike." We take great exception
to this statement. The Student
Senate empbaslzedrepeatedly
to any group - and especially
gathering of legal experts - we
would hope that any administrator
would have observed this distinction. Unfortunately, the Acting President did not.
On page five Dr. Falk attacked
those who 'deny the efficacy of
representative government.'Yet,
in a question and answer period
following his prepared speech —
ln an apparent attempt to discredit student government — Dr.
Falk accused the Student Senate
of not representing the majority

Bertrand Russell, a few days
before his death, sent a message
on 31 of January to toe Interna-
of the students.
We can understand why Dr.
Falk may disagree with the Student Senate on any certain issue.
However, the Student Senate remains the only democratically
elected representatives of the
student body.
We do not believe Dr. Falk ls
ln anyway purposely malicious.
However, we have read the full
text of his speech and we are
frankly shocked. Contained within
the talk are unsupported allegations, unverified generalizations,
Inaccurate information, name
calling, and an attempt to play
upon fear at the expense of truth.

So where does It aU lead to?
Certainly there are pieces of the
puzzle, where ls the connection?
Sahl goes on: "Kennedy's death
was ordered as coldly as you
would order a pizza. It was carried out by the CIA and although
the FBI and Hoover didn't have
any overt pari ln the assassination, they knew about it as early
as November 17 and did nothing.

•The only thing Lee Harvey
Oswald was guilty of was being
an FBI Informer. He wasn't even
near the School Book Depository
on November 22. The Warren
Commission then constructs the
theory to fit the crime, starting
backwards from the only acceptable theory, that ls, the lone assassin who shot the president of
the United States because he was
crazy from watching too much
television, ha, ha." The thought
sends Sahl Into a fit of laughing.
"In that case, we are all potential assassins." Again the laugh-
