She said the committee, composed of Pound floor presidents, Pound Hall offi cers and floor constitutional representatives, hopes to be fin shed with the revision befovs March 15 so there will be time for election of next year's officers this spring. Miss Kallos said the most important thing is for resi dents to get involved in student government and know bow the constitution works.

While the constitution presently provides for offi cer elections in the fall, she said that officer elec tions in the spring would result in more efficient and better government organi zation. "Things are rather chao tic at the first of the year and the student assistants have to take care of the election besides their other student government activi ties," she said.

Miss Kallos said that to involve as many persons as possible in the government certain revisions are needed in the constitution's section describing the officers du ties. "The areas that the offi cers should be working in need to be defined and the specific duties they perform need clarification," she said, "We win also see if we can eliminate or add some officers." Pound Budget Concerning the Pound budget, she said "There has not been student in volvment with the budget the last two years, so this year we Pound officials) looked over the books and came up with a different budget for the rest of this year." She explained that five dollars is set aside for each Pound resident by the ad ministration and the total amount goes into the Pound social fund that provides the money for any activities the student government de sires. "It's the girls dorm, so they should know how the money is being spent," she said, "and also they should know what they want to spend it on." ! She said the constitution, ; which was probably written by the first Pound residents, may be entirely rewritten "with the exception of the preamble and the section on advisers."

(CPS) The debate over the use of LSD continues on numerous college cam puses and it takes place on many different levels. One aspect of the LSD contro versy is the drug's sup posed ability to provide re Timothy Leary, one of the early researchrs on LSD at Harvard Univer sity, has founded a relig ious cult based on the drug experience. He calls it the League for Spiritual Dis covery (LSD). "You Go" Speaking last week at the University of Oregon, Leary suggested, "When you turn on . . . you go . . . out of your mind. And when you go out of ycur mind you come to your senses, you resurrect your body, and discover that you are two billion years old." In this manner, Leary, who was dismissed from Harvard for his drug exper iments, said, the individual who takes LSD is linking himself with the stream of life since the beginning of existence. During a m i d-January speech at Stanford Univer sity, Leary advised students to found their own LSD religion. "Everyone of us has to be his own Moses, his own Galileo, and work out his own system with Caesar," Leary stated. "The kingdom of God is within your own body." LSD Fake Another January speaker at Stanford, Dr. Allen Co hen of the University of California at Berkeley, dis agreed with Leary's analy sis of LSD's spiritual pow ers. Cohen, who at one time worked with Leary, charged that LSD is a "fake." A 30-time user of the drug, Cohen claimed LSD "did not develop me spirit ually and had no applica tion to everyday life."

Another debate over LSD centers around its reported ability to stimulate crea tivity. A Stanford Univer sity study by Drs. Willis Harman and James Fadi man reported recently that, "given appropriate condi tions, the psychedelic agent can be employed to en hance any aspect of men tal performance." New Concepts The subjects of the ex periment produced anew conceptual model of a pho ton, a design of a linear electronc accelerator beam steering device, a mathe matical theorem regarding NOR-gate circuits, and sev eral innovations in archi tecture and design. The report states, "T h e psychedelics appear to tem porarily inhibit censors which ordinarily limit the mental contents coming in to conscious awareness." A study by John C. Lilly of the Communication Re search Institute. Miami, claims that LSD frees man's "human computer" from many limitations. The study suggests that LSD gives individuals the op portunity to look at them selves comprehensively, al lowing for serious intro spection not normally pos sible. Conflict Over Effects Other reports disagree with these findings, and there is a conflict over the side effects of LSD use as welL Food and Drug Admini stration officials claim that at least five per cent of in dividuals using LSD experi ence serious psychological after-effects. Estimates from other sources range , upward from one per cent. , The question is battled over in a number of journals and theoretical papers pub lished in recent months. A draft of an unpublished study done recently at a large Midwestern university comments. "Scientists mea- sure, and have explanations for, the actions of many j drugs on such observable indices as the heart and respiratory rates, the level of various chemicals in the blood, and the secretaion of enzymes. Changes Measured "In contrast, the subjec tive changes produced by a drug can be ascertained on ly by asking the subject, in one way or another, how he feels." The report states, "To be sure, one can measure the drug's effect on certain measures of psychological functioning the ability to perform some standardized task such as placing pegs in a board or remembering nonsense syllables but this does not tell us what the drug experience is bke." Drug psychoses, the un published study says, may arise from the definition of a user of certain unusual symptoms the individual chooses to associate with his drug use. Interpreting Symptoms The individual may inter pret these symptoms "to mean that he has lost his grip on reality, his control of himself, and has in fact, 'gone crazy.' " At that time, the report "the drug experience, perhaps origin ally intended as a momen tary entertainment .... looms as a momentous event which will disrupt one's life in a possibly per manent way." The report suggests that "faced with this conclusion, the person develops a full blown anxiety attack any psychiatrist wTl certify as a psychotic episode." Seminar Findings William H. McGlothlin of the University of Southern California's psychiatry de partment reported in a re- DANCE AT THE 1967 ESTES CARNIVAL EAST CAMPUS UNION SATURDAY, MAR. 4 8:30-12:00 pnt seminar that "there is some tendency for-persons scoring high on (tests of) aesthetic sensitivity to have more' intense and insightful LSD reactions and to be less threatened." McGlothlin's report also suggests that "persons who report naturally occurring hypnotic-like experiences, are oriented toward ideas and intuition, and prefer to live an unstructured life, tend to react more strongly to LSD. Those who prefer a more practical and order ly life tend to have less in tense reactions." The McGlothlin report, presented at a meeting of the American Psychological Association (APA), notes that LSD users describe their experience most fre quently in terms of "great er appreciation of music and enhanced understand-, of self and others."
