University,Southern College to Exchange By Pllll. 8KMAS Associate Editor Negro and other small southern colleges face many problems which larger institutions in the North do not face. They lack funds, are relatively isolated from the mainstream of academic life, have trouble get ting good faculty members, and tind that many of the students who confe to them are poorly pre pared. It was to meet this problem that, in Title 111 of the Higher Kducation Act of 198S, Congress I>n,sued legislation offering federal assistance to these small southern colleges. One program which the act authorized was an exchange pro gram between Northern institu tions and these schools. Klonoskl Recommends About the time that act was passed, James Klonoski, associate professor of political science, recommended to President Ar thur S. Flemming that the Uni versity attempt to set up faculty and student exchange programs with a southern school. The new Office of Federal Gov ernment Relations took over the project. Winter term, the University got a grant to set up an exchange pro gram with Wiley College of Mar shall, Texas. The initial program involves faculty members and graduate students. The University may also According to California Assemblyman LSD, Other Drugs Face State, Federal Restriction editor's Note: The following story appeared in the April 14 issue of the San KrancUco State College (.olden (inter. Ily SCOTT C. HARRISON San Francisco Golden Cater I,SD and other psychedelic drugs will soon be restricted by stale and federal legislation, ac cording to State Assemblyman Ryron Rutnford. Kumford explained the propos ed drug legislation to fifty SF State students at the recent Sym posium on State Government. A San Francisco attorney, dis satisfied with the proposed legis lation, said that it will make 20 per cent of SF State students criminals in the eyes of the law. The attorney, James R. White 111, has sent letters to the federal and state agencies calling for "creative legislation" in consider ation of the drugs. At present, the onlj legal re strictions are on LSI) and other drugs containing an organic sub stance called "ergot." Quantities of ergot can cause a rotting dis ease of the same name Krgot is used to make LSI), but in the final product pure, well made LSI) does not contain any ol this substance and as of now, i.-> technically legal. Would Restrict LSI) The proposed legislation, both on the stale and national levels would restrict all LSI), whether it contained ergot or not One of the problems in attempt ing to control LSD is that the drug can be made very easily, "in fact, much easier than is commonly rumored," according to White. Matthew O'Conner, head of the State Narcotics Bureau, said that "illegally manufactured and YMCA Sponsoring Corsage Sale The YMCA is sponsoring the annual corsage sale for Mothers' Weekend. Corsages ranging in price from 75 cents to seven dollars may be ordered at all dormitories, co-ops, sororities, and fraternities this week They may be ordered through the YWCA House Council repre sentatives, or by calling the YWCA office, ext. 2296. Single and double carnations, orchids, and gardenias are avail able. The corsages will be delivered at 7 a.m. on May 7 in time for the mothers’ breakfast. The money goes to sponsor summer projects such as the Sum mer Service project in New York, the Summer Intern project in Chicago, and the National Leader ship School in New York.

There are about five such licensed clinics in California now. The federal law will dictate that the only legal way for a per son to get the drugs will be through a doctor. Hearings on this proposed law' will be held in Washington on May 17. If the Federal Drug Ad ministration is unconvinced of reasons to change or modify the law, it will go into effect. Easier to Apprehend The proposed legislation on the state level will make it easier for state and local police to appre hend offenders. Kumford read reports from the Berkeley Police Department call ing for "needed legislation” to aid in the control of the psy chedelic drugs. He cited medical reports that gave some insight into the his tory and nature of LSD. Kumford, who is an ex pharma cist and chairman of the Public Health Committee of the Assem bly, said that the drugs should be restricted until they are fully re searched and proven safe. Since the current state laws also restrict only the “impure" forms of LSD, the police are hav ing a great deal of trouble trying to make arrests. When officers locate a quantity of the drug, they have no idea whether or not it is the “pure” form. Kept Locked Up Officers have been taking sus pects in, confiscating the drug, and if the suspect is “high," keeping him locked up until he "comes down.” If the drug docs not contain any ergot, the person cannot be charged with anything, and so he is released. According to White, "these methods violate the ‘unreason able search and seizure’ amend ment to the U.S. Constitution.” Rumford’s proposed state legis lation would make it a misde meanor to manufacture, trans port, sell or distribute the drug without a permit. The law would confine the drug to the clinical laboratory. Having passed the State Senate Judiciary Committee the proposal now goes to the Assembly for a vote. Results Listed In his letters to the state and federal agencies, White listed the results of legislating against the drugs: • An increase in the manu facture of home made LSD. • An increase in the paranoia connected with usage which will create negative psychological re actions to the experience. • A possibility of losing what might be a key for man to free himself of the limitations of his own present vision. White asks the FDA "to justify how it can impose controls upon psychedelic chemicals because of ‘dangers' and 'abuse' in view of the comparative statistics con cerning the 'dangers' and 'abuse' attendant to the use of alcohol.” He contends that alcohol ful fills the criteria for inclusion as "halucinogin” according to the FDA's Drug Abuse Control Amendment. O’Conner seems to feel that the effects of LSD are somewhat stronger than those of alcohol. "To use the drug without medical supervision is fool’s play,” he said. set up an undergraduate ex change. T. W. Cole asked for graduate students cither enrolled in a doc toral program or employed as in structors. The deadline is past and six are now being screened by the U.S. Office of Education. They will receive national teach ing fellowships which offer a stipend of $6,500 per academic year plus $400 per dependent. Wiley will be sending faculty and graduate students here as well. Some faculty will be teach ing, others will be doing further graduate work. They will receive scholarships financed by the Of-■ fice of Education. Wiley is a predominantly Ne- j gro college, offering training and . the liberal arts. Other Programs The program could also in-1 elude several other programs, ac-1 cording to Clyde DeBerry, pov- j erty and race specialist in the j Office of Federal Government Re- ■ lations. Among those projects: • Short term consultation be tween both faculty members and j administrators at the two schools. • Working together through special conferences and work shops. • Work on curriculum revi sion and upgrading. • Co-operative faculty research projects. • University assistance for re medial programs for inadequately prepared students at Wiley. Expansion into the undergrade j ate area is uncertain for the mo-1 ment. T. W. Cole, president of; Wiley, suggested an exchange of i about five undergraduates or to have Wiley send five undergradu ates on a non-exchange basis.
