Baptist professor says church
needs new approach to drugs
DALLAS <A>) — All churches
should have a “radical sharing
group” where drug abusers could
go without fear of rejection or
being reported to police, a Bap
tist educator told conferees Tues
day at the Nationwide Bible Con
ference here.
Henlee H. Barnette, professor
of Christian ethics at Southern
Baptist Theological Seminary,
Louisville, Ky., said churches have
been “handing out a cocaine kind
of existence.
“The church must kick its own
addiction before it starts to get
the monkey off others’ backs.”
He said the church has an “ad
diction for war, racism, and par
ticularly self-glory and self-en
hancement.”
More than 5,000 persons are
attending the conference, first
such conference held by South
ern Baptists.

AUSTIN OP) — Three medical
men and a professor who hears
lots of stories from students
about drug abuse urged a Sen
ate committee Monday to allow
researchers to experiment with
marijuana on human beings.
“We are crying for informa
tion on the marijuana dilemma,”
Dr. Robert White of the Univer
sity of Texas medical branch at
Galveston told the Public Health
Committee.
The committee approved for full
Senate debate a bill to set up
an advisory panel of seven to
approve marijuana research proj
ects.
Persons involved in the approv
ed project would be immune from
prosecution.
Dr. George Parker, a Univer
sity of Texas psychology profes
sor, said he was representing the
Texas Psychological Association
officially “and the students of
the university unofficially.”
He said he had just come from
a meeting in his office with two
students, “one of whom had se
vere problems related to the use
of marijuana and other sub
stances. . .”
' • i
“We’re in the dark because
we’re so frightened of doing re
search,” Parker said. “But I think
history has shown us long enough
that we are not able to stop
people from using certain sub
stances, and it is incredibly naive
to think we can. . .”
Arthur Briggs of the pharma
cology department at the UT
medical branch in San Antonio
said he hoped the advisory pan
el “does not become a political
football with someone looking
down at you saying ‘if you’re
not a good boy we’re going to
cut off your research.’ ”
The committee also approved
bills prohibiting non-medical per
sons from possessing a hypoder
mic syringe or needle or any oth-
