LXXVI, No. 27S ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, FRIDAY, JUNE 10, 1966 SEVEN CENTS SIX PAGES LSD on College Campuses: Everybody 's D in It -J By BERNARD GAVZER Associated Press Staff Writer EDITOR'S NOTE: Grass grows on many campuses, but not the kind " you think. Grass is the "in" word for marijuana which, with LSD and other mind-expanding drugs, is causing increasing concern in col- lege circles. How widespread is drug usage there? How serious is the threat to health and morals? The following is a report based on trips to campuses throughout the country. The college instructor got into dungaree pants and jacket, stop- ped to take a deep drag of mari- juana, and then holding up the paisley necktie he has just re- moved, laughed happily and said: "Do you get the scene? This is the psychedelic tie. The patterns and colors. Wow." He and his girl friend passed the marijuana to two others in the room. He apologized for not offering LSD, explaining that he had a class the next morning and that he wouldn't go to class still turned on, "Anyway," he said, "it's nice to blow grass," then laughing, said in a sing-song parody, "Every- body's doin' it, doin' it." From the sound and fury at- tending the situation, it might indeed seem that everybody's doin' it. Campuses Awash with LSD There has been a flood of re- ports which make it appear that America's college and university campuses are awash with mari- juana, lysergic acid diethylamide -LSD-25 -mescaline, psilocybin and other drugs, such as pep pills and goof balls. There is evidence that at schools all over the United States there are some students who have had some experience with LSD or grass, as marijuana is now called by the hip or in groups. Some. But how many? No one really has any concrete figure. No one knows how many of the nation's 5,320,294 college and university students are using, or have used psychedelic-mind- manifesting-drugs. Dr. Timothy Leary, a pioneer experimenter with LSD, estimates that perhaps one-third of the nation's young college students are experimenting with the drug. He bases his estimate on information he says he has received from cor- respondents-about 700 letters a week-students and faculty who have attended his lectures, and from numerous sources among college and high school age groups. Dr. James L. Goddard, head of the Food and Drug Adminis- tration, gave some clue to the extent of college use at a Senate hearing at which he rejected sug- gestions by Sen. Thomas J. Dodd (D-Conn) that use of LSD be made a crime. "It would automatically place maybe 10 per cent of hundreds of thousands of college students in the category of criminals. I would hate to see them charged with a crime," Dr. Goddard said. The Food and Drug Adminis- tration issued 'a warning to col- lege administrators in April say- ing that use of mind-manifesting drugs was increasing and called it an insidious and dangerous ac- tivity. Whatever the number of users, to most school administrators any incidence spells trouble. Despite the kinds of pressures that can be applied to schools by parents as well as governmental bodies, ad- ministrators generally seem to be taking the situation in stride. "The g e n e r a 1 denunciation against LSD is not expressed in warnings against its use on moral grounds, but that it is dangerous," says Dr. Howard Becker, sociology professor at Northwestern Univer- sity in Evanston, Ill. He is author of "Outsiders," a book which deals with deviant behavior by youth. Another professor suggests that even warnings about a danger may fall upon unconcerned ears. "It is difficult to tell a kid he may lose his mind with LSD when he knows he can have his whole head blown off in Viet Nam." Talks with students and faculty at various schools from coast to coast appear, to bear this out. Users Doubt Danger "Grass has been accepted on campus because no one really be- lieves it is harmful," says a Uni- versity of Texas student. "Too many people who are edu- cated-you know, we can read and write and reason-know from ob- servation, logic and even exper- ience, that stories about mari- juana simply are not true. They are convinced that the threat to health and morals is no greater than with ordinary tobacco and certainly far less than with al- cohol." Marijuana is generally used in the most social of circumstances. A typical session may start spon- taoneously with a joint-cigarette -being passed from hand to hand. The one who supplies the mari- juana doesn't usually seel It to others. Marijuana is the mildest of the psychedelics and works by altering the senses of taste, sound and time, particularly. LSD Trips LSD, on the other hand, is con- sidered a more personal involve- ment. Where there are a dozen at a marijuana session, three or four at an LSD session may add up to a crowd. The person who goes on a trip, which means using LSD, may experience at the height of its action halucinations and illu- sions, and a remarkable sensory alteration in which sound may have an odor, color a sound, and odor a dimension.

Court May Test State L Artie Iial ai4 Board Power NEWS WIRE $100,000 Allocated For Cancer Research By MARTHA WOLFGANG The House of Representatives approved a $230 million Higher Education Appropriatidns Bill yesterday. The Uni- versitys allocation was $57.9 million. This figure is $1 million above the governor's recommendation, but still substantially below the original University request of $65 million. The House bill was very close to the version of the proposal passed by the House Ways and Means Committee earlier this week. It includes an additional $100,000 which was given to the University for cancer research. An amendment proposed by Rep. Jack Faxon (D-Detroit) which attempted to commit state supported colloges to a spe- Osteopathic College Approval by Romney Could Spur Challenge By JOHN MEREDITH The State Board of Education's authority to deal with the Legis- lature may soon be subjected to a court test. Board President Thomas Bren- nan said yesterday he will urge the board to challenge the con- stitutionality of a proposed new osteopathic college if a bill pro. viding for the school is signed by -A'- the governor, The bill was due for final ap- proval in the House late last night or today. The House action was slated without first consulting the board which is charged by the state constitution with planning and co- ordination higher education in Michigan. 'Planning Meaningless' "Planning and coordination be- come meaningless if a major new education complex can be con- structed without the board's con- sideration," Brennan said. The osteopathic college issue first arose last fall, when the bill just approved by the House was passed by the Senate. At that time Attorney General Frank Kelley is- sued an informal opinion stating that the Legislature cannot legally establish a new state college or university until the board gives its recommendation. However, an in- formal opinion is purely advisory, and the Senate went ahead and approved the bill after an angry debate centering on Kelley's rul- ing. The bill then faded out of the spotlight and appeared likely to die in committee. But Wednesday night, amidst charges of vote- trading and backroom dealing, the House Ways and Means Commit- te reported out the bill with a favorable recommendation. Decision Postponed The board gave brief considera- tion to the osteopathic college question last fall, but decided to postpone a decision until a study on long-range planning of higher education in Michigan is . com- pleted. The study is still in prog- ress. The osteopathic bill creates a state authority to oversee construc- tion and operation of an educa- tional center for osteopathic medi- cine in Pontiac. Although it authorizes no money for the proposed school, development of the college even- tually will cost the state an esti- mated $60 to $100 million. Strong Opposition The bill has met strong opposi- WASHTENAW COUNTY BUILDERS returned to their jobs yesterday on the basis of a working agreement reached in a 's five-hour negotiating session at the County Building. -The two-year contract, if approved by the membership of Laborers Locai 959, will give the laborers a 95-cent per hour in- crease in wages and fringe benefits, said Roy Greer, business agent for the local. e' THE NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION will be support- ing another institute in psychology this summer under the direction of Prof. Daniel Weintraub. Ten teachers were chosen for the institute called "Research Participation for College Teachers Program." The program is designed to give instructors from small colleges an opportunity for individual research under t University staff. Begun in 1959 at the suggestion of .Pros. Wilbert J Mc- Keachie, chairman of the psychology department, the institute is designed purely as a service to the participating teachers. THE HUMAN RELATIONS COMMITTEE from the Social Work Student Organization will charter a bus to Mississippi for people interested in participating in the second half of the civil rights march from Coldwater to Jackson. The march made news earlier this week when Meredith was shot during its course. The bus will leave Friday, June 17 at 6 p.m. and will return Monday. The cost will be approximately $35.

LANSING (IP)--THE HOUSE voted Wednesday to make the possession or sale of LSD or other hallucination-producing drugs a felony. - It approved 93-0 an amendment to the tate Dangerous Drug Act adding LSD and five other hallucinogens to the list of regulated drugs. The measure goes back to the Senate for action on House amendments.

Estimates of the number of stu- dents involved ranged from 500 to 2,000. At least 13 students, in- cluding one coed were arrested, and may be charged with violating the Riot Act as well as disorderly conduct. A sheriff's deputy was struck in the face by glass from a flying bottle. At least 247 officers from the campus, Lansing, East Lans- ing, the county sheriff's office and State Police posts as far away as Brighton and Ionia converged on the campus. No Injuries Campus police said no students were injured during the disturb- ances, which broke out at the Cafeteria during the dinner hour.

The or- ganiziing meeting was held in New York yesterday and was attended by over 50 nationally prominent academic, business, labor, profes- sional and religious leaders who are willing to encourage and fa- cilitate a nationwide educational program on U.S.-China relations.

"A couple of tables started a food fight," Ronald Bahrie, a stu- dent from Detroit said. "They threw food and trays. But that was brought under control and then about 400 students went down to the Brody Grill and talk- ed and milled around: "Finally they started hunting for other students and went over to the Case, Wilson, Wenders com- plex to get more guys. Then they went two and one-half miles across campus to Akers and Fee complexes to get even more people. Police Stop Rioters "That's when the police tried to stop us. Police formed barriers on foot and drove their cars up and down the street to keep us from crossing. It worked pretty well and stopped us. Students blamed their activities on tensions that have built up this week during final examina- tions.I Disillusioned with University They also said there has been disillusionment with the univer- sity since Ramparts magazine printed an article in its April issue charging that an MSU peace mis- sion fronted for the Central In- telligence Agency in South Viet Nam during the regime of the late President Ngo Dinh Diem. Most of the charges were denied by State Private Sh sGet $4 Millionl By MARTHA WOLFGANG The House of Representatives granted $4 million for tuition grants to first year students at private and parochial schools late last night. The controversial Senate bill 780 has been vigorously pushed by Ctholic groups throughout the state. The vote was 84 to 17 with Rep. Marvin Esch (R-Ann Arbor) voting in favor of the proposal. The financial aid is not given through competitive examinations but through a test of financial need. A student's family income is compared with the tuition of the institution, and if the stu- dent is shown to be in need of aid the bill allots him approxi- mately $200. Rep. William Ryan, a principal advocate of the bill, explained that the bill has the dual pur- pose of helping both the private institutions and the students. He noted that enrollments in private schools have decreased by 40 per cent in the last five years. The combination of two forces an attempt to limit the budget and the extra drain on education funds created by the private aid bill means that the state; supported colleges and universities are re- ceiving smaller amounts of state funds. The University was not given anything near its original request of state funds in the House Ap- propriation Bill. Legislators were concerned with keeping the overall state budget under $1 billion. The Governor had recommended a $944.9 million budget. The legislator's budget figure edged back up Wednesday, after reaching a reported low of $960 million. Sen. Garland Lane (D-Flint) l1.- ;.wn - f +I,- C-n n untn cific tuition figure by Jan. '1 of each year was defeated. An amendment introduced by Rep. Marvin Esch (R-Ann Arbor) to increase the University's appro- priation by $2 million was defeat- ed by a vote of 60 to 23. Funds for expansion of the Center for Research on Learning and Teaching were withheld from the bill. Funds for an institute of Gerontology (study of the aged), to have been run jointly SwithWayne State University and funds for the Institute of Inter- national Commerce were not in- cluded in the bill. Capital Outlay Passed The House also passed the state capital outlay bill. The University received $3.5 million, all earmark- ed for Medical School buildings. The University had originally re- quested $16.2 million dollars for its total capital outlay appropria- tion. The House extended the provi- sion of last year's Public Act 124 and incorporated them into this year's capital outlay bill. The bill provides that planning funds with- in the capital outlay bill be allo- cated to the state controller's of- fice. University officials have inter- preted PA124 as a violation of constitutional autonomy, granted to universities by the state. They have taken the issue , to court where it still remains undecided. The - University also received $920,000 in funds for the Mental rHealth Research Institute and funds for the Neuro-Psychiatric Institute through yesterday's leg- islative action. The proposal failed to add $4 million in operating funds deem- ed essential for the University's operations by University officials. Flint Gets Money The House approved a line item appropriation for the sophomore class at the University's Flint Campus. Lansipg observers feel this may indicate a growing legislative z readiness to support the Univer- t sity's Flint branch. The Flint branch has been the subject of spirited controversy for the last several years. An amendment from the floor was passed increasing Eastern Michigan University's allotment by $600,000. Likewise, $300,000 in , funds for library books for grad- nate wnrk was rgranted to Western a year ago. Many of the conference participants and seven of the Asian scholars who testified before the recent Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearings on China compose the new committee. In its statement of purpose, the committee founders indicate spe- cifically, "We do not intend to ad- vocate any policy proposals, but are hopeful that out of a national dialogue on the subject there will emerge a consensus as to whether any modifacations in our existing policies are desirable." Catalyst for Conferences The committee also proposes to serve as a catalyst in an attempt to sponsor or help bring about such nroarann a ss nei2li'Jed in- both members of the committee, agree to the general omnibus func- tion of the committee rather than that of a specific protest organ toward present U.S. policy in Asia. At the outset however, it is in- evitable that much of the dialogue will focus on the Viet Nam prob- lem and what many people feel is an archaic and dangerous pol- icy by the U.S. toward mainland China. In the long run these are problems that will hinder the ef- fectiveness of such a potentially fruiitful group although they are the problems that had much to do with the organization of the group in the first place, they said.
