Clark, professor of psychiatry at the University of Utah. At a colloquim sponsored by the Department of Psychology, Dr. Clark told students and faculty members that the human function most sensitive to marijuana is recent memory skills. The automatic recall of what has just been said is very difficult with a marijuana smoker, and increases in difficulty with higher doses, said Dr. Clark. The person under intoxication cannot make sense in sequential conversation or sequential thinking, cannot recall a word or will use the wrong word or even create a new word. His logic becomes inconsequential. Dr. Clark, who has been studying the effects of marijuana since 1951, admitted that when he began his studies he didnt believe hallucinogenic drugs would become popular. He pointed out that the toxic effects of marijuana were identified in 1899 and have been studied ever since, disproving the notion that marijuana research is recent. The powerful conceptions about marijuana make it difficut to find unprejudiced subjects to test the drug, said the U psychiatrist. Often a subject with a preconceived notion will try doubly hard to make the result of a test come out the way he believes it should, he pointed out. Other problems with testing marijuana and performance include the amount in the doses to be administered, the length of time to be covered, whether to administer by inhalation or ingestion, and what mental or motor skills to measure. efNo study of the long-terfects of the cerebral toxins in marijuana is complete, said Dr. Clark. "The toxicity and inflammation effects on brain tissue may not appear for many years. The effects will not be completely understood until many known marijuana users brain tissue can Dr. be studied after death, Warns Women On Having Youngsters Population expert Paul Ehrlich has warned American women that by having more than two children they are unknowingly contributing to the early death of those children. Ehrlich, writing in the current issue of McCalls, just released, named the U.S. population boom as the chief villain in environmental pollution and the drain on the worlds natural resources. American population growth, combined with our economic habits, endangers the lives of all our citizens, indeed the lives of all the worlds people, he said. It is population growth among affluent white Americans that rt most strains the systems of the earth, and it is the third and fourth babies of American middle-clas- s families who are the cause of most of our population increase. We, along with the citizens of other overdeveloped countries, such as the Soviet Union, England, Germany, France, Belgium and Japan, are engaged in a skelter race to destroy the of the earth to support capacity human life, he said. Ehrlich called for a full-scagovernmental propaganda program, reinforced with economic incentives, to persuade American couples to limit their families to two children. No technological tricks can restore the quality of our environment unless we have population control, he asserted. It is loot-and-pol-l- truth that halving the number of people in the U.S. would more than double the quality of our environment. For incentives, Ehrlich said a woman could be paid for each year between the ages of 15 and 28 in which she did not bear a child. He also called for government-subsidized abortions and access to contraceptives for everyone. It has been estimated that an annual expenditure of about $40 billion by the United States and proportional amounts by other overdeveloped countries will be required if we are to have any real hope of saving civilization, Ehrlich wrote in McCalls. This is equal to about half of our present military budget and a fifth of the entire U.S. budget. It is a tiny price to pay. a simple Population Expert ute life-suppo- helter-- le Antelope Hunt Good, Officials Report Utahs 1970 antelope hunt was states one of the best in the history, according to figures released by the Division of Fish and Game. A record 185 permits were issued and hunters harvested 159 buck antelope. Four permit holders did not hunt. The 1970 harvest is the largest number of antelope harvested since 1945, when the first Hunter success in 1970 was 87 per cent well above the long term hunter success average of 67 per cent. A limited number of antelope permits are issued annually, on a drawing basis, to residents of the state. m Clark stated. Most injuries in the home occur from falls and one of the most dangerous areas is the bath room. One way to reduce this hazard is to keep a rubber mat in the bathtub. Also never touching anything electrical while bathing. While hemline hassles rage, die home sewer is emerging as die real arbiter of fashion for the decade.
