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

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

home-made quantities of the drug
ure impure and can be danger
ous.”
White, however, in his letter to
the Department of Health, Edu
eationd, and Welfare, said “there
is at the present time no sta
tistical evidence that psychedelic
chemicals are either dangerous
or physically addictive.”
< rcauvc Legislation
In his rail for “creative legis
lation,” White recommends that
“government controlled, privately
supported centers be created un
der limited licensing (a policy
presently used with radio iso
topes) which would provide a
suitable setting and assistance for
any responsible member of our
society to carry on explorations of
his own consciousness with psy
chedelics for whatever purpose he
chose.”
The actual proposed federal
legislation will restrict the drugs
to clinical research. 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.

T. W. Cole asked for graduate

by the U.S. Office of Education.
They will receive national teach

Wiley will be sending faculty

well. Some faculty will be teach

graduate work. They will receive

Wiley is a predominantly Ne- j
gro college, offering training and .

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
