The University Administra
ion could adjust to a lowering
of the legal drinking age, ac
cording to J. Winston Martin,
associate dean of Student Af
fairs, speaking at a forum on
student drinking yesterday. ,
In answer to questions from
a small group of students at
the forum, Martin said "we
could live with a change." He
said he thought a lowering of
the age limit would naturally
cause an increase in admin
istrative problems, but that
they could be coped with.
Most of the questions asked
Martin and Dr. William Hall,
from the department of edu
cational psychology and meas
urements, were centered
around the possibility of an
age limit change.
Hall joined Martin in calling
for an individual treatment of
drinking problems in general
The two gave opinions on col
lege drinking from psycholog
ical and administrative points
of view.
Martin said student drink
ing isn't a problem "the ad-
"We don't treat drinking in
, ..t, . cidents any different than
infractions
we do trv
help the student identify him-
self in the context of the situa
tion," Martin said.
Martin said the University
feels it has the responsibility
to help a student establish his
personality.
Hall gave a complex set of
reasons for drinking prob
lems and eventual alcoholism.
Society's arbitrary problem
solutions, insecurity, escape,
rebellion and "just having a
good time are partial reasons
for peoples' lack of respon--1

agent of the United States as
is possible under U.S. for

the natives with which he
works in some cases this is
impossible. He said that in
the case of teachers some
countries feel that they must
live on a certain social level
which is above that of the
people.
Caldwell said that a major
reason for the present short
age in volunteers is that not
enough people know what
opportunities are available.
He also cited the greater de
mand for Peace Corps services
than was originally planned.
Caldwell said that specific
training in a field such as
teaching is not necessary
since the Corps will train
its volunteers.
The foreign language pro
gram trains volunteers six
hours a dav. six davs a week
for fourteen weeks. According
to Laidwell. about 50 per cent
of all who apply for the Corps

"We haven't spent enough
time developing individual re

called it a "culture shock."

'Foremost' Anarchist
Slams College ROTC
"If people want to kill,
they should join ROTC in col
lege to learn to do it good,"
said Ammon Hennacy to stu
dents at the University of
San Francisco.
Hennacy has proclaimed
himself to be the "foremost
Catholic anarchist in the
United States." He made no
further comment on ROTC,
but continued to give his
views on anarchy.
One of Hennacy's argu
ments for the dissolution of
all government was, "Good
people don't need laws and
bad people they don't
help' Another was "No man
is good enough to govern another."

Announces
Changes
Pom Pom Girls,
Squad Combine
The organization of the yell
squad has been changed for
the coming year, according to
Doug Busskohl, yell king.
Pom pom girls and yell lead
ers will be incorporated into
one group, composed of eight
girls and three boys.
The girls of the yell squad
will lead yells and entertain

In the past this was done by
two separate groups.
Six former pom pom girls
and two yell squad boys will

friction between pom pom
girls and yell squad girls this

that both groups have been
in existance.

yell squad he is looking for
girls who can "get across to

The new members will b
