Ramsey, educational assistant of Christian i i Foundation of A a sa (CCFA) says this generation junior and senior high schoo students will not be dependent upon artifical stimulants in the future. Ramsey gave his optimistic viewpoint during an interview al Woodland Junior High Schoo where he conducted lectures on drugs Wednesday.

Hi speaking engagement here included talks at the Fay etleville High School Tuesday and he returned to Lillle Rock following his appearances Woodland. MORE EDUCATED In defense of his statement be said that if the parents of this generation had known how bad cigaretles were h' wouldn't be smoking now. "The youngsters of loday are more educated on the dangers of drugs and cigarelles because they know more about the subject and this acts to deter them," he said. Despite this oplimism tie said slalistics in a recent publication showed that 47 per cent of high school and college age students had smoked "pol" or mari- a a some 18 per cent had used amphelamines; 15 per cent banbiluates, 11 per cent LSD and 7 per cent the hard drugs, such as heroin. "No place is immune but drug usage is more prevalent on the east and west Coasts wilh Arkansas ranking low in drug traffic," he said.

Ramsey, who has served as public information officer wilh the Arkansas Slale Police and also in Uie Criminal Investigation Division of Fort Sam Houston, predicts the traffic will increase with opening of traffic on the Arkansas River, le also predicts it will be harder to stop when it is transported by boats. Ramsey does not want to see marijuana legalized and says this is one question he is almost always asked. "We have the alcohol prob lem now and cannot afford a similar one in dealing wi I marijuana," he said. Although he said there are more alcoholics in the nation than drug addicts, pol smokers always smoke to get high whereas most alcohol is consumed socially and not just to get intoxicated. He also said research, both on long and short term use of man a a is underway wilh many researchers beginning lo believe thai marijuana, like LSD, causes changes in chromosomes.

"The use of LSD has decreased and while I was in California the slogan. "Beautiful children not beautiful visions," was making the rounds." he said. The speaker advised lhat if a drug user is known that his friends would serve him well to notify someone who can help him, such as a physician or his pas IMPORTANT Hamsey feels that education is most important in dealing wilh Ihe problem and recommends lhat parents should start the education before the first grade The speaker is a member of the A a a Law Enforcement Officers Association and a junior at Slate College of Arkansas. He is Baptisl, an Eagle Scout and a Mason. The CCFA sponsors an educational program dealing wilh the problems relative to alcohol, narcotics, gambling and salacious literature.

Mass. Dr.

Jackie Sterner Douglas, professor of High er Education at the University of Arkansas, Miss Martha Moose, elementary education teacher of Little Rock, and the Rev. George Gunn of Fayetteville. Adjournment is set for 4 p.m. following small group discussions and a review of the symposium. The symposium is presented conneclion with the University of Arkansas' centennial program and is sponsored by Associated Women Students.

Dr. Nancy Sindon. dean of women at the University and a member of the symposium planning committee said it is hoped the symposium can become an annual event. Attending were delegates selected from applications among women students, faculty representatives, leaders of the Fayetteville community, of A alumnae and delegates from other Arkansas educational institutions. McClellan (CONTINUED KROSt PAGE ONE) women and children in Viel- nam, since President Nixon has undertaken to review the case the senator does not intend to take any action or try to influence the president until he has made his review.

The senator has not read ihe record. "I do not condone the killing of children." However, he can see things a liltle differently in the case of women who might have been combative enemies. "You can't always determine your enemies from friends in Vietnam." He thinks it is well that the president is going to review the case as commander-in-chief and do it promptly, and he will wait until the decision is in before he comments. Additional hearings on organ- ized'crime will be 'held by his committee in the Senate, possibly within 60 days. If things go right, he believes some healthy results for the American people wjll materialize.

He plans to call organized crime Cosa Nostra, the Mafia, gangs- terism, or whatever with no reflections on Italian-Americans whatsoever. "There are bad men and good men among all nationalities, including Americans." NOT FOR "SURRENDER" He listened to President Nixon's television speech Wednesday evening, but found new in it "only some speedup in bringing the troops home." He "absolutely agrees" with the president that no date when "we are going to get out of Vietnam" should be publicly announced. "We haven't fought to win the war, and we have been telling the enemy what we are going to do in an effort to appease him, and get him to negotiate. It is to be hoped we can get out with some honor. If the president's plan works, it is.

belter than just surrendering." He feels Hie president is try- ng to get us out. And he agrees 'we need to get out." Definitely he feels the Democrats have a good chance ieat President Nixon for a second term in office. He has no present plans either to seek re-election as senior senator, or not, and he feels it is too early to make a declaration. However, the positions he holds as ranking member of Senate committees can lead to honors for Arkansas, and he must consider that he "owes Arkansas something the slate has been good to me." In reply to a remark that he looks "healthy and fine," he said he does feel well and energetic. "I'm tough," he said.

The senator arrived in Fayetteville shortly before noon, was a luncheon guest of friends at the Fayelteville Country Club, and appeared before political science students at the University early in the afternoon before speaking at Barnhill Fieldhouse Thursday night in the Symposium series. He was interviewed at the Holiday Inn. Low Bid Made On Five New Police Cars Whit Chevrolet of Fayelte- ville was the apparent low bidder Thursday in two categories on the city's planned purchase i new police cars. The city got no bids in a third category that would have provided for rental service of thp vehicles rather than city ownership. Whit Chevrolet; In the category of no trade-in on five city vehicles, offered lo sell the city police units according to city specifications at $3,336.63 each.

Lewis Ford bid $3,392 per car and Hatficld Pontiac $3,465.62 per unit." In the category that included trade-ins of present cars, Whit Chevrolet gave a total bid of Lewis Ford gave a total id of $11,820 and Halfield Pontiac bid $12,250. Sturman Mackey, assistant city manager, said the bids would be analyzed for performance, future trade-in value and maintenance before awarding the bid. The vehicles must have all safety fealures, AM radios, automatic transmissions, a a steering a a i conditioning as well 'as a number of other special features. Mackey said. Besides-bids based-on trade- ins and on no trade-ins, the city sought bids on operating a fleet of cars on a rental basis but no bids were submitted.

Jim Halfield of Hatfield Pon- liac, who attended the bid opening, when asked by Mackey why he believed no such bids were submitted, said there "is no way to come up- with the costs." "There was nothing objection able in the way it was presented (specified in the bidding)." Hatficld said. "If 1 had access to figures and stalistics from olber lowns, I would have been able lo make a bid accordingly." Mackey said the concept was one of several being tried to reduce the cost of fleet chasing by city governments since major car manufacturers have outlawed reduced prices on fleets. Fayelteville was the first in Arkansas lo attempt the rental plan, he said.
