Drug Control Cornissioner "Sidney Stohs . . . laments a recent AMA drug report which lie termed "unscientific" and "unfortunate" at Monday Students' Spring Session. Students' Spring Session 'ruaf report draws criticism D 1 A recent report by the American Medical Association linking marijuana smoking with im potency, promiscuity and psychological defects was described as "ludicrous" Monday afternoon by Sidney Stohs, assistant professor of pharmacognosy and a member of the Governor's Commission on Drug Control. Calling the report unscientific, Stohs said, "It's a very poor study and unfortunately it's going to be the landmark study for the next year. The AMA's report will definitely do more harm than good." According to Stohs, the government's lumping together of marijuana and heroin into one category is responsible for many people going past marijuana smoking to harder drugs. "It makes a person think Faculty Senate faces longest agenda Tuesday The Faculty Senate will tackle the semester's longest number of items at it's Tuesday afternoon meeting. The agenda claims the meeting will not last over two hours. The Senate is scheduled to hear 10 committee reports at the 3:30 p.m. meeting in Love Library auditorium. Matters range from the proposed calendar for the academic year 1972-1973 to the pattern of sexual discrimination among faculty, clerical staff and students at the University.

TUESDAY, MAY. 11, 1971 A ' w o m e h r i g h t s sub-committee, under the Senate's Human Rights Committee, says in its report that women comprise a disproportionately small percentage of the University faculty and students. Also among the 14 items listed on the agenda is a report from the Senate's Grading Committee. The Committee plans to move that "The drop period (during which time a student may drop a course without a grade) be extended from four to eight weeks. Policies related to section changes and schedules of refund for withdrawals and drops remain unchanged. that if marijuana doesn't hurt him heroin won't either," Stohs told a students' spring semester audience in the Sculpture Garden. He aid there are two answers a person might receive to the question "is marijuana addictive?" "If you ask someone in government he'll probably tell you yes but if you ask someone who knows anything about drugs they'll say no," Stohs said. He warned mescaline users that what they have been buying actually contains no mescaline at all. "I don't think there's any mescaline in this city, and it wouldn't surprise me if there's no mescaline in the whole state. Most of the stuff you're buying is really LSD," he said. The reason for this is economics, according to Stohs. People who make acid over-produced it and when everyone started worrying about its affects they were left with an over supply of LSD. The only way to get rid of it was to sell it as mescaline. Stohs also commented on the current over-supply of amphetamines. "This is probably done intentionally by the reputable manufacturers simply because it's a good market," he said. NOW HIRING AT SPENCER FOODS, INC.
