A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT ... to lower the state voting age to 19 was
signed by Gov. Norbert Tiemann Monday. The proposed amendment will be on the
Nov. 8, 1968 general election ballot and must pass by majority vote before it takes
effect Student supporters of the measure are preparing to launch a "mammoth"
fund raising drive to promote the amendment. The bill was introduced in the Legis
lature by Sen. Eugene Mahoney.
Revision Group Established

Pound president.

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.
Involving Residents
Residents should think
about what goes on here,
she said, if they want to
spend money on things that
are best for them, they
must know how the consti
tution works."

She said there are three
main areas of dissatisfac
tion with the present con
stitution: election procedure
of officers, specific officer
duties and financial speci
fications. 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.
Difficult For Freshmen
"It's also difficult for the
freshmen to know the girls
running for office in the
fall," she said, "!t's hard

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."

Religious Cult Founded on LSD
EDITOR'S NOTE: This is
the second in a two-part
series by the Collegiate
Press Service writer Stev
en Boekshelter dealing
with hallucinogens most
notably LSD and college
campuses.)
(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." Co
hen said the drug, which he

stopped taking a year and
a half ago, leads to "spirit
ual egotism, with users ex
tending egos rather than
transcending them."
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."
