IDA Has TKree-Fold Objective;
Focused At Improving Relations
By Mark Gordon
Junior Staff Writer
The Inter-Dormitory As
sociation has a three-fold
purpose, as stated in the
IDA constitution which was
voted on by University dor
mitory residents Thursday.
The purpose of the Asso
ciation is "to provide a self
governing body to co-ordi-n
a t e member residence
halls, to discuss and regu
late matters of general in
terest concerning member
residence halls and to serve
as an agency through which
relations administration and
resident relationships may
be maintained."
Since all residence halls
approved the IDA, the en
tire residence hall popula
tion of the University has
become members of the
IDA.
The organization is estab
lished in four sections: Inter-Dormitory
Council, the
Executive Committee, the
Inter-Dormitory Court and
committees.
Representatives chosen at
the discretion of the individ
ual dormitories, shall com
pose the Inter-Dormitory
Council. The representa
tives, each with voting pri
vileges, shall be chosen on
a ratio of one representa
tive for each 250 residents

FDA Agents Pose As Students
To Find Inside Dope On LSD
(EDITOR'S NOTE: This is
the first in a two-part series
by Collegiate Press Serv
ice writer Steven Bookshe
ster dealing with hallucino
gensmost notably LSD
and college campuses.)
Washington, D.C., (CPS)
College students trying to
"turn on, tune in, and drop
out" have unwanted com
pany, Dr. James L. God
dard revealed this week.
Dr. Goddard is the com
missioner of the Food
and Drug Administration
(FDA), and the unwelcome
visitors to the campus LSD
scene are the 200 agents of
FDA's Bureau of Drug
Abuse Control
The FDA agents, posing
as students, are buying
LSD, amphetamines and
other drugs at an unknown
number of schools throug
out the nation.
The FDA commissioner's
statement this week was in
line with a letter he sent to
2000 college deans on April
5, 1966 in which he warned
of "the gravity of the situa
tion" and asked for t h e
assistance of academic ad
ministrators "in combatting
an insidious and dangerous
activity."
Report LSD
Dr. Goodard asked that
"any instances of the illegal
use or possession (of LSD
and amphetamines) should
be reported at once to the
Food and Drug Administra
tion district office."
He advised university of
ficials to "send us any ques
tions you may have which
will aid In eliminating the
illegal use of hallucinogenic
and stimulant drugs."
Although FDA officials
claim they are primarily in
terested in finding illegal
sources of drug supply
rather than finding indi
vidual users, they admit to
cooperating with local law
enforcement officials
in geographical areas
where possession of such
drugs violates local law.
Federal statute prohibits
the sale of LSD, but posses
sion for individual use is
not a criminal act.
Confiscate LSD
FDA's agents, however,
are authorized to use "ex
ecutive seizure" in confis
cating LSD under the p r o
visions of the Federal Food,
Drug and Cosmetic Amend
ments of 19C5.
Seizure Is permissible be
cause LSD lacking FDA ap
proval, Is not in "legal dis
tribution." After 20 years of re
search, it Is classified as an
"investigatory new drug."
An FDA official said the
agents were trained to be
"well aware of what the
rights are."
The official stated, "It
doesn't make any sense to
make an arrest if you're
going to be thrown out of
court."
Some FDA agents have
been specially trained at
the University of California
at Berkeley's School of
Criminology.
as determined by the Hous
ing office for the allocation
of funds.
Ths Executive Commit
tee consists of the presi
dent, vice-president, secre
tary and treasurer and it
serves as a co-ordinating
body between the execu
t i v e and legislative
branches of the Association.
President To Appoint
The Inter - Dormitory
Court consists of one chief
justice and six associate
justices, who will serve a
one-year term. The judges
will be appointed by the
president with approval of
at least two-thirds of the
council.
The committees consist of
standing committees such
as the social, scholastic,
activities and administra
tion coordinating commit
tee, temporary committees
and an election committee.
The constitution also pro
vides for an advisor chosen
from University faculty
members who have shown
an interest in the residence
halls. The advisor, serving
a one-year term, will be se
lected by the Inter-Dormitory
Council with the ap
proval of the Faculty Com
mittee of Student Affairs.
The Council will have
meetings at least once ev
There, the agents are
taught law, techniques of
enforcement, criminology
and corrections, drugs, phy
sical evidence, accounting
and auditing, weapons train
ing, physical conditioning,
and use of vehicles.
A recent U.S. Senate re
port indicates the largest
number of LSD users at any
school exists at Berkeley.
The report attributed 2500
LSD users to the Berkeley
campus.
While Dr. Goddard's
agents were looking about
the campus, the debate over
the implications of LSD use
continued at many colleges.
At others, administrators
were taking independent ac
t i o n against student
drug use.
Haverford College
Haverford College pres
ident Hugh Borton told stu
dents that they faced pos
sible suspension f o r re
peated drug use.
Borton said drug use Is
"largely socially unaccept
able and hence puts the
good name of the college in
jeopardy." He said Haver
ford would cooperate with
ail law enforcement agen
cies "as a matter of pol
icy." Borton said the Pennsyl
vania college has a physi
cian, a psychiatrist and
counsellors available to dis
cuss matters confidentially
pertaining to drug use.
He said the first use of
drugs by a Haverford stu
dent would be considered a
result of "lack of accurate
information or of some
medical or psychological
"problem."
Discipline Action
University of Montana
vice president Laurence E.
Gale has announced h 1 s
school will consider taking
disciplinary action against
student drug users.

ery two weeks during the
regular school session
which will be open to the
public except on written re
quest from two-thirds of the
council.
The constitution also has
provisions for initiatives,
referendums and petitions
for additional flexibility and
greater student voice in the
IDA.
The judicial power rests
in the Inter-Dormitory
Court, the legislative pow
er lies with the council and
the executive power rests
with the executive commit
tee. Judicial Powers
The court has been given
the following judicial pow
ers by the constitution: to
interpret the constitution, to
decide questions arising be
tween dormitories, to serve
as an appeal court for de
cisions of the judicial
branches or discipline
boards of the dormitories
and to validate petitions.
The court also has the
power to decide questions
arising under the by-laws,
legislation of the council or
the exercise of powers of
the executive committee
and it can decide questions
arising from matters of
contested association elections.
effects from drugs during
his two-year tenure.
Amherst College's Com
mittee on Guidance and
Counseling mailed a letter
to the student body indi
cating the school's "c o n
cern about the use of drugs
because of possible physical
and psychological dangers
and damaging effects to the
individual user."
An Amherst official de
scribed the purpose of the
letter as "purely education
al and informational."
Students at Amherst "de
siring further information,
or wishing to discuss con
fidentially the implications
of drug use, are encouraged
to visit the Counseling Center
or the Student Health Center.
Office.
Different Policies
The letter included a dis
cussion of federal and state
laws governing drug use
and gave a brief discussion
of the effects of LSD and
marijuana. Acollege of
ficial described the school's
policy toward the individual
drug user as "flexible."
Rhode Island School of
Design has a policy of wait
ing for the results of court
actions before disciplining
students for drug use. If a
court finds a student guilty
of an offense, he is usually
dismissed from the school.
Perhaps the strongest po
sition against LSD use is
taken by the University of
Maine. That institution's
students involved in the use
of hallucinogens will be dis
missed from the university.
"Students dismissed from
the university under (this)
policy," states the M a i n e
school, "will be denied ac
cess to the campus."

Study Shows 'Risk' Students Finish
Northampton, Mass what
are the chances for a student
with low Colege Board scores
to graduate from a highly
competitive college?
According to a Mount
Holyoke experiment of 33
"calculated risk" students,
who averaged approximate
ly 150 points below the av
erage Mount Holyoke stu
d e n t in verbal College
Board scores, 80 per cent
of the risk girls graduated.
This percentage equals that
for the college, as a whole,
year after year.
