I DC Suggests Policy Change By JOHN DKNNY Kim-raid Stall Writer Inter-Dorm Council decided Thursday to recommend to the Student Activity Committee thut campus living groups be required to register desserts and firesides with the housing office only two days in advance. Policy now requires living groups to register all social func tions a week in advance. Hichard Itomm, University counselor supervisor, said that students need u full week of prep aration to organize a success ful function. Inter-Dorm Council President Hal Kingslien said that the rea son many desserts and firesides fail is that students lose interest in a week's time. The functions fail because of in adequate planning, Itomm coun tered. In other business 1DC voted to have towel dispensers and ironing units (ironing boards and irons) installed on every floor of all dormitories, and to have sun decks for sunbathing construct CONVfcNIfcNT LOCATIONS EUGENK 6th A Jefferson 296 Coburg Rd.

Turning to Robert F. Kennedy’s conduct following the assassina tion, Walker said, “If it had been my brother. I’d have read the Kci>ort (Kennedy has refused to do so). If it had been my brother, I'd have been in Dallas as soon as the services at Arlington were completed. Hut Robert Kennedy doesn't need to go down there.” When asked later about his charges that Robert Kennedy has been involved in a conspiracy of some nature, Walker retorted: "Well, he's a mouthpiece for Mr. Johnson. Johnson's State Depart ment wrote a speech for Mr. Kennedy a few months back. You want something more; that’s a true answer you'll find in the newspapers.” Speaking of the enemies of the United States. Walker concluded: “I’m sorry I can't tell you here who they are. But no matter where your home is, where your school is, they’re among you. 1 won’t say who they arc.” T V.

Walker outlined his views on Viet Nam, student demonstrations, ed ucation, and state sovereignty in a press conference Thursday aft ernoon at the Continental Motel. Walker spoke out against Pres ident Johnson’s Viet Nam policy by stating that the most impor tant change needed was the firing of Henry Cabot Lodge and Wal ter Rostow, foreign policy advis or to the President. Walker accused the U.S. Senate of accomplishing nothing more than the United States’ terms for surrender: “Every day of terms we have talked outselves out of more terms. Walker contends that Viet Nam is completely a political war and that General Westmoreland, though an “astute commander,” is unaware that he is fighting only a political war. Walker back ed up this statement by referring to the 100 State Department peo ple in Viet Nam who, according to Walker, make all the neces sary decisions. Walker called the soldier in Viet Nam "an imposter” because he is designated only as an ad viser: while he fights a war he is ordered to fight, not from free choice. LSD Effects... (Continued from paqe 1) haps they are pre-psychotic or paranoic, and they are more likely to be harmed, he continued. He added that it might create schizophrenic breakdowns in per sons who are borderline cases to begin with. These persons may be come suicidal or panicky, he said. "LSD is not a narcotic,” Cohen said, but "it is habituating. There are people who have taken it hundreds of times and have come to like the effect.” Cohen, who described LSD as “the most potent chemical we know,” said that we should learn to use it constructively, not re-! treat from it. "Don’t get the idea that scien tists are tunnel-visioned men in white coats,” Cohen said, adding that the scientific community is willing to work with theologians, anthropologists, artists, and any other group which can help pro mote research and understanding. Cancellation Due To Lack of Sales The “Peace Trip” dance, sched uled for Saturday in the Student Union ballroom, has been can celed.

He discussed the United States’ complete circle of support from a Catholic leadership under Diem to a Buddhist leadership under Ky. Walker said that Ky is in a bad spot because Senator Wayne Morse has called him a tyrant, which supposedly indicates that this is the feeling of the entire nation, and because the national press is "out to get him.” Walker did comment that he felt Ky is “as effective as anybody could be, because the ninth is better than the tenth or fourteenth (leader).” The talk then changed to stu dent demonstrations protesting the Vietnamese war, topics he commented on in his evening lecture. The demonstrations, he feels, are also a way for students to act against the regulation of stu dent freedom of action as well I as speech. Walker referred to i Johnson as "a stupid professor” • due to government regulation of I education, including finances and to what Walker referred to as the many things which are hid den from the student in cduca j tion. He cited the example of five } Russian cosmonauts who have died in space—a statement which he said he could verify definitely. When Walker was asked how he felt the United States might be gin a program of political reno vation. he spoke in favor of states’ sovereignty. He backed his view point by commenting that differ ent areas of the nation or world have different customs, cultures, and prejudices. He stated that a man should be judged by his peers because those people are of similar environmental influences. He cited an example of a South African tribe and an American city and the punishments which would follow certain similar crimes.
