they were kejit busy doing even

the most meager of chores in order

to keep their minds off their
problems.
The second movie, titled
"Bennies and Goofballs," was
narrated by Paul Newman and
was concerned with the misuse
of legally manufactured drugs.
Statistics provided in the film
showed that out of 10,000 drugs
manufactured for legal use in the
U.S., approximately 5,000 (or
half) are used illegally. Legal
drugs, such as pep pills and
sleeping pills, can be just as
harmful as narcotics when improperly used, the film indicated.

"People using pills don't realize what's happening to them
until it's too late," explained
one man on the film. The case
of a tnick driver was shown
where he was taking a drug to
keep him awake on an unusually long run and developed illusions.
Newman concluded the film
by appealing, "Avoid the good-ba- d
dnig dilemma."

Following the movies, R. T.
Brinkerhoff from the National
Institute of Mental Health, Clinical Research Center and Addiction Research Center in Lexington gave a short lecture on dnig
addiction.
Brinkerhoff has been at the
Center since 1935 and said that

have been there
since then.
There were five basic steps
w hich each patient goes through,
Brinkerhoff explained. The first
step is a physical examination.
Then follows the hardest period
for the patient the withdrawal
period. The patient then has a
convalescence period. Next is the
orientation and evaluation period
and finally is the actual rehabilitation work. This is the time
when the cured patient learns
to accept responsibility in society.
Helps One-Thir- d
In regard to narcotics on the
39,000 people

college campus, Brinkerhoff
stated, "Although marijuana is

not addicting, it is a stepping
stone to heroin." He expressed
further concern on the problem
of narcotics on the campus by ,
saying, "I can't understand why
students who are trying to make
something of themselves want to
harm themselves with drugs."
When asked the question of
how many stayed cured after
release from the Clinic, Brinkerhoff replied, "About one-thir-d

Brinkerhoff concluded his talk
by explaining, "Christianity is

'Procol Harum9 Returns With Torn Underclothing
By R. L. LAWRENCE
Remember the summer ofl9G7
when a very strange sounding
group recorded a very different
sounding song "A Whiter Shade
Of Pale"? The group of course
is Procol Harum, which later
cut an album, another single,
and then vanished seemingly to
the boneyard for one-shartists.
Not so. Procol Harum is alive
and relatively well in England
and has just released its first
album for A&M Records titled
"Shine On Brightly!"
"Homburg," Procol's first
single after leaving British Dec-cdid well in England, but fell
way short of "Whiter Shade's"
success in America. After this and
the completion of its first U. S.
tour, the group returned to England. Despite the success of the
tour, the group was somewhat
dismayed over the failure of
"Homburg" and their slapped-togethfirst album (written, arranged, mixed, recorded and released within l'a weeks). It was
during this period of despondency, says their producer, that the
present album was conceived.
"Shine On Brightly" surpasses anything the group has
done since "Whiter Shade Of
Pale." Musically, percussion and
guitar play a larger role in this
album as compared to their last.
Even the quality of the stereo is
better and the total sound is less
ot

a,

Side one is a solemn side,
reflecting perhaps the mood of
the groupduring the eight months
it took to prepare this album. A
large part of this solemnity I
might mention, is due to the voice
of Gary Brooker, which can beg
come quite
at
times. Nevertheless, better mixing and arrangements keep the
album from being likewise.
The first song, "Quite Rightly
So," is a relatively lively piece
which could be considered a prelude. It makes a statement which
is dealt with in the other cuts
especially "Rambling On."
"Quite Rightly" begins with
the group admitting some past
mistakes and asking the listener's
patience in the matter:
For you( whose eyes were open
wide Whilst mine refused to see)
I'm sore in need of saving grace
Be kind and humor mc
Now the reviewer fully realizes
the dangers in stating emphat
drab-soundin-

ically "this is what an artist
is saying or doing." However,
in "Rambling On" I think I
can make a fair case for the idea

that Brooker and Reid are giving
us a condensed musical history

of the group.
This is a
group
with high aspirations, which is
swept to a zenith by its first
record and then falls far below
expectations in its following attempts. The group suddenly realizes its fallibility, but luckily is
not ruined and suffers only a
loss ot pride. The song is forty-fou- r
lines long, so here is its
gist:
Went to a local picture house
Showing a Batman movie Saw
this guy fly up in the sky Thought
to myself, why shouldn't I?
He buys himself some wings
and prepares to jump off a wall
when a man on the street calls
to him:
Don't you realize the danger?

V1ut do you think you arc, Some
kind of angel?
After some consideration, he
decides not to "fly" off the building. But in the meantime a crowd
had gathered and:
It seemed to me the time was
right, So I burst into song In
the anger of the moment The
crowd began to sing along
Just then a breeze came along
and swept him into the air. He
sailed several miles up until he
thought he'd "hit the Golden
Gate." Just then a passing bird
came along and took a peck at
his wings:
I went down, hit the ground
Faster than the speed of sound
Luckily I broke no bones Only
tore my underclothing

"In Held" runs the gamut
ormusically from
gan, drums and
guitar
to heavy regal sounding scores.
The lyrics are obviously quite
personal, but not so much as to
become obscure. Along with two
short monologues, they help present an interesting "collage"
which is perhaps the best part c;f
the album.
This album is an honest
"whole" effort on the part of the
group. There are no "chart" tunes
(with the possible exception of
"Quite Rightly So") and I don't
think any were meant to be.
What Procol Harum seems to be
searching for is an album experiencenot just a collection of
songs. "Shine On Brightly" is
not a great album, but it is a
good one and worth listening to.

The structure of the album
gives the listener a sort of dual
statement from the group. Side
one is composed of five short
pieces all products (in no particular sequence) of the labors
of their "misery." The second
side consists of one short tune,
piece which is, according
to Procol's producer, "a sound

Kernel: Do you think students have a right to be
concerned and involved in commmrity affairs?
Hale: Why certainly. They are, generally.
Kernel: John Junot, a member of SDS, suggested
University students help policemen by tutoring their
children and babysitting for them. What do you think
of these suggestions?
Hale: Well, that's up to the individual officer.
Kernel: What participation by outsiders would you
welcome?
Hale: Every constructive participation: assisting in
all those things that would foster respect for law
and order, not revolution.

...

"Vve made

munistic programs . . "

Kernel: Could you suggest a specific direction in
which students concerned about police work could
channel their energies right now?
Hale: They should make an objective study of crime
and community problems, and assist in furthering
abiding of law in the community.
Kernel: Do you have any more specific plans by
which they could do this?
Hale: Well, they could come and make a complete
study of police operation, their goals and their aims,
and be governed accordingly.
Kernel: Do you feel they would have the right, if
they made a complete study, to point out problems
they feel need correcting and areas in which positive
work should be done?
Hale: Well, I would accept their suggestions, but. . .
a layman is not generally authorized or competent
to discriminate about police administration.
Kernel: Professor Gene Mason has criticized the
University for not doing its part to help the local police.
He said courses for policemen should be made available.
Hale: They are available at Eastern Kentucky University now. We have 35 men studying there on postgraduate courses.
Kernel: Would it be a help if these were available
on the local level?
Hale: It would have been. But it's too late now to
talk about that. The University didn't take it when
they should have so Eastern got it. There'dbe too much
competition now, just a duplication of effort.
Kernel: Are any members of the police force members
of the Lexington Human Rights Commission or any
similar groups?
Hale: No. Of course we work with them all the
time, but we're not members. I don't suppose they'd
feel like police officers would be acceptable on their
'
groups. But there's no reason why we couldn't be.
We're very receptive to human rights, we always have
been that here, we're rather pioneers in this rights
business. Here's an article (he showed an article in
New South magazine) published in '61, but written
way back in the 50's. I had the good fortune to study
mob and riot and minority problems under Dr. Joseph
Rollman, at the University of Louisville. After quite
a bit of research, I came out with this article. It was

Kernel: What weapons are included on the list of
weapons officers may carry if they so chose?
Hale: None. The only weapon they're required to
carry is the .38 caliber special revolver. We may change
our weapons but we haven't changed them yet. We have
a standing regulation against slapjacks, or blackjacks.
I don't want anybody to be all cut up around the head
and face. That's why we're using mace, to eliminate
injuries.
Kernel: What about brass knuckles?
Hale: Oh, nobody carries brass knuckles.
Kernel: None of the officers do?
Hale: No. They're hard on your clothes . . . I've got
a pair, but I never carry 'em. This thing, brass knucks,
they came in here started all this talk about how they
didn't want the situation in Chicago to develop here in
Lexington. The thing is, they take a little thing and blow
it up of course I know the whole operation. I've made
a thorough study of Communism and Communistic
programs. I'm well aware of it and they know I'm
aware of it, and it's something everybody better get
aware of sooner or later.
Kernel: Do you feel then that Communism is behind
the . . .
Hale: I didn't say that. That's a leading question.
Are you a law student, or what?
Kernel: No sir.
Hale: What are yoap
Kernel: I'm a reporter.
Hale: Reporter?
Kernel: I think you can understand . . .
Hale: I know, I know. What I'm saying is, I didn't
say that.
Kernel: What do you think about gun control?
Hale: I'm suspicious of this gun control law. I
think it's insidious in some ways. I'm thinking about
section 19 of that Communist program issued oh, about
1919, where they said, 'control all the weapons in a nation, make a list and when you take over a nation
you have a list to go out and squeeze the guns out of
everybody's hands. I do think that any armed citizenry
is a help for home protection against predators. I think
everybody should own and bear arms.
Kernel: One last question. If I had very long hair,
and a beard and moustache, and maybe . . .
Hale: Why don't you?
Kernel Well, I . . .
Hale: Well, Why don't you.
Kernel: Now you're using my tactics. I'll end the interview right here!

Hale: No, I don't. They all look alike to me. I had
a son who was in the submarine service, and he came
home with a big, heavy beard. I didn't think anything about it. Anybody that doesn't shave will raise
a beard. I will too. It'll be a little frosty now though.
Kernel: Should anyone be allowed to speak at the
University?
Hale: I don't see any reason to ban anybody from
speaking. I think that the University student is a mature
adult, generally, and they should be treated as adults.
Kernel: Do you feel the presence of H. Hap Brown
or Stokely Carmichael speaking at the University would
cause rioting in Lexington?
Hale: No. Hap Brown would be in more danger from
the colored community than from the whites. They don't
want him here.

Hale: No comment.
Kernel: What about his suggestion that a person
participating in rioting be incriminated just as much . . .
Hale: Well, I'll say this much, I wouldn't have said it.
That's all I can say. I think policemen are bound by the
same laws as anybody else. That's been our theory

trouble.

and tossed it across the desk to the interviewer). That's
the Negro Digest, there. (There was an article by Chief
Hale on police work with the Negro minority. The
magazine was a 1962 issue). You see, I've been in this
business a long time.
Kernel: What about the John Birch society? Any
membership from the police force?
Hale: I don't know anything about the John Birch
Society besides the name of it, just like the Ku Klux
Klan.
Kernel: How many Negroes are on the police force?
Hale: Fifteen.
Kernel: Do you see any particular benefit in having
more Negroes . . .
Hale: Yes. I've been making formal requests to the
colored community to get me young men that are
capable of passing the examination. Of course there's
a lot of whites and a lot of colored that don't make it
because they don't have the educational background or
the ability or the emotional setup to be a police officer.
The way they're training kids now they can't spell,
they can't even express themselves. I don't know what's
wrong with our educational system but it sure is making
a mess of our kids.
Kernel: Would you very briefly give your impression
of the typical University of Kentucky student?
Hale: Well, he or she is of good appearance; most
of 'em are studious, and serious, and sincere; they're
dedicated to their work.
Kernel: Would you give your brief description of
the typical student who is now involved in community
activities?
Hale: Well, there's not well, they're in community
activities for a lot of different reasons. Some of them
are in for disruption, some of them are in for construction, and some are just in it for the ride.
Kernel: Do you think the average Lexington policeman reacts differently to a bearded college student
or a Negro in this city than to a person who appears

As far as I know it's a rumor and nothing else. There's

Al 01c Miss

Court Order Thwarts Campus Speaker Ban

UNIVERSITY, Miss.(CrS)-F- or
the second time in two years,
a federal court restraining order
has been invoked by University
of Mississippi students in order
to bring invited speakers onto the
Ole Miss campus.
The order was issued at students' request by federal judge
William C. Keady to prevent
the Mississippi State Board of
Trustees from using their speaker
ban to bar civil rights leader
Charles Evers from an Oct. 2
speaking engagement.
Evers had been invited by
the university's Young Democrats
and Students for Humphrey-Mus-ki- e
chapters. Evers, the brother
of slain civil rights leader Med-ga- r
Evers, is NAACP state field
director and a Democratic National Committeeman from Mississippi.
The afternoon before the
speech was scheduled, the trustees met and announced that the
students must withdraw their invitation. Instead, two officials
of the Young Democrats, David
Melpus and Danny Culpit, went
to the federal district court in
nearby Greenville and obtained
the temporary restraining order.
Evers, who flew from Los Angeles to give the speech when he
heard of the ban and the counter- -

cal figures whose stand disagrees
with that of the trustees."
Two years ago Ole Miss officials attempted to use the ban
to keep Aaron Henry, state president of the NAACP, from speaking on the campus. Students and
faculty members got their first
