California Votes On Pot
SAN FRANCISCO (AFS) —
California is shortly to become
the first state to vote on mari
juana.
During the Nov. 7 election, the
state’s voters will be asked to
decide on a proposal to remove
criminal penalties for anyone 18
or older for “planting, cultivating,
harvesting, drying, processing,
otherwise preparing, transporting
or possessing marijuana for per
sonal use.” The measure also pro
hibits “persons under the influ
ence of marijuana from engaging
in conduct that endangers others.”
Selling would remain illegal.
That’s it. Otherwise, you’ll be
able to grow your own in Cali
fornia.
If it passes. An early Septem
ber poll showed only 33 per cent
support for the Califoi-nia Mari
juana Initiative (CMI). There is
strong support for the measure in
northern California, particularly
in the San Francisco Bay Area,
but half the state’s 20 million
population is concentrated in
highly conservative Los Angeles,
San Diego and Orange counties.
CMI’s organizers, a loose col
lection of lawyers, doctors, drug
experts and other volunteers,
think the outcome is still uncer
tain.
Gordon Brownell, the Initia
tive’s political coordinator, be
lieves the polls don’t accurately
represent popular opinion on
marijuana. “A lot of people who
will vote for the measure don’t
want to say so to interviewers,”
Davis Gives
Archeological
Presentation
Dr. E. Mott Davis, president of
the Texas Archeological Society,
will take an A&M audience on
a classical Roman excavation
Thursday night.
The associate professor of an
thropology at the University of
Texas-Austin, will use slides to
show how classical archeology and
anthropological archeology are
joining forces to unravel the se
crets of an ancient civilization.
His free lecture and slide pres
entation will start at 7:30 p.m.
Thursday in the auditorium of
the Zachry Engineering Center.
It is open to the public.
Dr. Davis has more than 26
years of experience in American
Indian archeology, 1G years of
the time in Texas. In the last few
years he has worked at the site
of the provincial Roman city of
Stobi in Yugoslavian Macedonia.
Stobi was a civic and ceremonial
center for nearly 1000 years be
fore it went out of existence
around A.D. GOO. The reasons for
the death of the city have been
a mystery since other Roman
cities in the area are still thriv
ing. The investigation of this
mystery is one of the interesting
stories to be told by Dr. Davis.
At Stobi, Dr. Davis found many
artifacts which reflect upon the
culture and life styles of the an
cient Romans. In addition, the
excavations revealed numerous
architectural remains including
residential, theatrical and ceme
tery areas. The research led to a
better understanding of Roman
culture as it existed in Yugo
slavia.
he says. CMI is counting on the
so-far unrevealed support they’re
sure is out there.
Win or lose, the Marijuana Ini
tiative has already made an im
pressive showing. In four months,
its 20,000 volunteers collected
380,000 valid signatures, 50,000
more than the minimum needed
to put the measure on the ballot.
CMI has also gained endorse
ments from a wide variety of or
ganizations, including the Cali
fornia and San Francisco Bar As
sociations, the Democratic Central
Committees of Los Angeles, San
Francisco and Sacramento, the
ACLU, the San Francisco Deputy
Sheiffs’ Coalition and the San
Francisco Police Officers for
Justice.
All of this was done with very
little money. Of the estimated
$40,000 spent to get the measure
on the ballot, most came from
small contributions. The largest
single source of funds, approxi
mately $15,000, has been Amor-
phia, a non-profit cooperative
working for reform of marijuana
laws.
Amorphia raises its money by
selling cigarette papers under the
brand name “Acapulco Gold.” The
papers are distributed nationally
and billed as “the only papers
made from pure hemp fiber from
marijuana stalks.” In the year
ending May 1, Amorphia had
gross sales of $100,000 from the
papers.
Amorphia’s activities have not
been limited to California. It was
active in the unsuccessful efforts
to qualify marijuana reform ini
tiatives in Washington, Oregon,
Arizona and Michigan.
Michael Aldrich, Amorphia’s
coordinator and editor of The
Marijuana Review, believes what
is happening now in California
will have tremendous impact on
the rest of the country.
“Twenty states now have the
initiative as a means for changing
the law,” he says. “Marijuana
could be on the ballot in 10 or 12
of them in the next few years.
And the issue has wider appeal
than most people think.”
CMI’s Brownell echoes Ald
rich’s thoughts. “Even if we don’t
win, it will still be a victory. We
took a so-called ‘freak issue,’
(smoking pot) and legitimized it.
We put it before the public and
won endorsements. If we don’t
make it this year, it will be an
issue again in ’74. It will come of
age eventually.”
As California goes . . . ?

I |j 11
Three upcoming events are
planned by the A&M Sports Car
Club, which will meet Wednesday
at the old College Station City
Hall.
A Sunday autocross will be for
members only, announced club
president Kerry Bonner. Jim
Forte will manage the event.
Drivers may qualify for the
autocross by joining at the Wed
nesday meeting. It will be at 7:30
p.m. in the Mimosa Room of the
old City Hall, 110 Church St.
A night rally Nov. 3 and a
Nov. 19 autocross at Texas World
Speedway will be open to all in
terested drivers. Entry fees of $2
and $10, respectively, will be
charged. Spectators are admitted
free to all events, Bonner said.
An autocross is an automotive
event in which a car at a time
races the clock. Different types of
cars compete in assigned classes.
In a rally, a team, including a
driver and navigator, attempts to
negotiate a prescribed route in
specified time, obeying all traffic
rules and fulfilling certain re
quirements. Each team must sup
ply its own watch, flashlight and
pencils, with the TAMSCC pro
viding the route map.
