George McGovern who almost seems type-cas- t as las opposite, patently trank, open and direct. The senator has immense stoics of argument available to him and the nation deserves a discussion of the issues For an underdog like the e mDellon Many Myths About Drugs Surround Abuse Problems There am many misconceptions and myths about drug abuse.

Togetherness, love. ; nd peace, consid-em- l the sole "properties" of yorh. actually aie close to the ideology ol the establishment. Kids Also Drink "Pot is for kids, alcohol is for adults" a myth. Most juvenile authorities incriminate alcohol as the major drug problem facing om young adults. More arrests are made for possession and Use of alcohol th.rn for matituana. ;saKo Furthermore, lnpiot is more expensive than mar i liana for equal effect. Other myths are "legaliation of marijuana will .solve the problems"; and "marijuana use leads to crime and delinquency." Not Aphrodisiac is: Another common misconception Drugs make sex better."

It is true that Mr. Nixon's New Deal deficit financing is bringing recovery, and that inflation under Ins controls has been cut to 3 percent. Splendid. But there is a long way yet to go. e Theodore M. Bernstein ice Chair, may we have the floor? If a news story about a woman umpire says she has the female prerogative of changing her mind" or assets she is going to the home plates, women have a legitimate right to resent such female stereotyping. But sometimes the equal rights momement is earned a bit far. A Democratic National Convention committee decides, even tentatively, to "desex" the official titles by referring to the permanent chairman as the permanent chair and to the assistants as iee dluirs, the langu ige suffers an unnecessary afront. Most of the population wouldn't even notice that sex was involved m a title like chairman (and it's dubious whether the word really carries any suggestion of sex'), but changing it to chair injects that thought into people's minds.
