  • Thursday, July 27, 1967 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN CAROLINIAN FEA 77 RE SECTION SREB Interns In WCU Area Viewpoint REP. FRANK THOMPSON EDITORS NOTE: Rep. Frank Thompson (D.-N.J.) isapromi- nent liberal member of Congress. The following article was originally inserted in the CONGRESSIONAL RECORD. It appears here through the courtesy of Rep. Thompson's office. WASHINGTON, D.C.(CPS) — The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently launched an investigation of banana peel smoking. This was very good news to me, since 1 have been extremely concerned over the serious increase in the use of hallucinogenic s of youngsters. Apparently, it was not enough for this generation of thrill-seekers to use Illicit LSD, marijuana, and airplane glue. They have now invaded the fruit stand. The implications are quite clear. From bananas it is a short but shocking step to other fruits. Today the cry Is "Burn, Banana, Burn." Tomorrow we may face strawberry smoking, dried apricot inhaling or prune puffing. What can Congress do in this time of crisis? A high official in the FDA has declared: "Forbidding the smoking of material from banana peels would require congressional legislation." As a legislator, I feel it my cuty to respond to this call for action. I ask Congress co give thoughtful consideration to leg= islation entitled, appropriately, the Banana and Other Odd Fruit Disclosure and Reporting Act of 1967. The target is those banana-smoking beatniks who seek a make-believe land, "the land of Honalee," as it is described in the peel puffers' secret psychedelic marching song, "Puff, The Magic Dragon." Part of the problem is, with bananas at 10 cents a pound, these beatniks can afford to take a hallucinogenic trip each and every day. Not even the New York City subway system, which advertises the longest ride for the cheaptest price, can claim for pennies a day to send its passengers out of this world. Unfortunately, many people have not yet sensed the seriousness of this hallucinogenic trip- taking. Bananas may help explain the trancelike quality of much of the 90th Congress proceedings. Just yesterday I saw on the luncheon menu of the Capitol dining room a breast of chicken Waikiki entry topped with, of all things, fried bananas. An official of the United Fruit Co., daring to treat this banana crisis with levity, recently said; "The only trip you can take with a banana is when you slip on the peel." But I am wary of United Fruit and their ilk, because, as the New York Times pointed out, United "stands to reap large profits if the banana smoking wave catches on," United has good reason to encourage us to fly high on psychedelic trips. And consequently, 1 think twice everytime 1 hear that TV com- mercoal— " fly the friendly skies of United." But let me get back to what Congress must do. We must move quickly to stop the sinister spread of banana smoking. Those of my colleagues who occasionally smoke a cigarette of tobacco will probably agree with the English statesman who wrote: "The man who smokes thinks like a sage and acts like a Samaritan." But the banana smoker is a different breed. He is a driven man who cannot get the banana off his back. Driven by his need for bananas, he may take to cultivating bananas in his own back yard. The character of this country depends on our ability, above all else, to prevent the growing of bananas here. Ralph Waldo Emerson gave us our proper warning: "Where the banana grows, man is . , . cruel." The final results are not yet in, however, on the extent of the banana threat, An FDA official has said that, judging from the four years of research needed to discover peyote's contents, It will probably take years to determine scientifically the hallucinogenic contents of the banana. We cannot wait years, particularly when the world's most avidbanana eater, the monkey, provides an immediate answer. We can use the monkey as a laboratory, seeing what effects bananas have on him. The FDA says it cannot tell if a monkey has hallucinogenic kicks; they think not. The problem, 1 feel, is seeing the monkey munch In It natural habitat. To solve this dilemma, 1 propose the Peel Corps, necessarily a swinging set of young Americans capable of following CONTINUED Page 4 ...... . Tliis summer the Southern Regional Education Board's Resource Development project has place 100 Interns in twelve southern states. Among those interning from the WCU area are Janet Smith, Bud Garrison and Zeke Sossomon. Each intern is performing research, planning and services that cover projects in the spectrum of social services relating to the development of human and natural resources, The program is designed to provide servce/learning experiences for the students through assignments to projects of development agencies, community action programs and other local organizations. Each intern in supervised by a project committee consisting of a local representative, a university counselor and a technical advisor of the sponsoring agency, SREB is a coordinating agency for education researcli that is founded by its member states. The interns are financed by the other organizations for which they work, Intern appointments are made on the basis of a demonstrated interest in the processes of social and economic change. Miss Smith, a 1967 liberal arts graduate of WCU from High Shoals, N, C,, gained her internship with the Twin States Development Association, Her task is to catalogue the assistance available from local, state and Federal sources for industrial development in the Little Tennessee River watershed area. This region includes Jackson, Swain, Macon and Graham counties. Garrison, a dental student at the UNC-CH School of Dentistry and a former WCU student, has the job of making health surveys in the upper HiwaSsee River watershed re- tion.

Teachers can help, so can a curriculum and an atmosphere of devotion to the things of the mind. But ultimately the problem Is utterly the students."
