What happens when the faculty IDE WESTERN WASHINGTON STATE COLLEGE 'Freak outT Vol. LVIV, No. 7 Bellingham, Wash. Friday, November 4, 1966 Panel talks openly of trips, says LSD should be legal By MARY MAGNUSON Members of the second Book of the Quarter panel on "LSD: The Consciousness - Expanding Drug" startled many students with their frankness. Discussion ranged from a description of the panelists' experiences with LSD to a proposition that colleges act as the controlling agency for distributing the drug. Four of the five panelists, Dr. David Mason of the biology department, Dr. James H. Straughan of the psychology department, Dr. David E. Clark of the political science department.and Ron Schafer, a former Western student, have taken LSD. Dr. Charles Moffet, a psychiatrist, has not taken the drug. The discussion was moderated by Dr. Gerald Kraft of the biology department. 'After describing the biological effects of LSD, the first panelist, Mason told of his experience-with the oYugrHe tnetf^fti^dHh^^aihiges^ he had noticed in himself since going ori a trip last June. -"I feel a sense of belonging vitally o the community of man and have an' increased feeling of self-value. "I have an increased feeling of nternal joy, thanks to an increased appreciation of everyday things and vents. "I also have an increased toler-mce of intolerance and a renewed appreciation of the limited value of rationality," he said. Mason later added that another effect of the drug was a "decrease in guilt about those facets of myself which are at variance with society's norms." Clark took LSD as part of a research project. He explained that those involved in the experiment have remained in contact and discussed their experiences with each other. "We found that reactions to the drug are extremely varied and that those most influenced by it were the ones in least need of therapy," Clark commented. Another observation made by the researchers is that emotional and behavioral changes caused by LSD often do not become apparent until months or years after taking the drug. "A high proportion of the subjects had a rough time and. came ,out with; Jthe idea; i^a^^f^i^-em^, pletely diabolical. Some even pressured for laws to halt the research project," Clark said. Clark found that LSD makes the user feel that "life is today and now." "Some of the subjects were unable to readjust to their jobs until a year or more after taking the drug," he added. Schafer, who auit school in midsummer, took LSD first in a laboratory situation. usually associated with LSD, such as the intense visual effects and "It just made me want to curl the critical introspection. "At the time, the Navy and I were not getting along with each up and get away from everyone," he explained. - In subsequent trips Schafer said other, he experienced much of what is (Continued on page 12) The concept, 'in loco parentis,' was criticized by Dr. James McAree Monday in his address to the AS Legislature. McAree discussed the proposed changes by the AS committee presently revising student discipline procedures. He also mentioned the University of Oregon's new dorm policy which offers open and closed dormitories. The girls or their parents decide in which type the girls will live. (Photo by Dwight Larson) Four members of the Book of the Quarter panel discussion Tuesday admitted use of the drug LSD. Dr. David Mason, in the foreground, was the object of some speculation after he revealed, along.with student, Hon Schafer, that he had experimented with the drug in other than clinical conditions. Above Mason and another panelist is a close-up of the microphone used. It didn't freak-out once during the discussion. Legislators start moves to alter disciplinary codes Western's Associated Students Legislature endorsed recommendations Monday for college disciplinary policy changes which may protect students from being disciplined by the college for violating public law. The legislators may also change the basic structure of the disciplinary system. BUNKE LIKES CHANGES In an address to the student legislature the previous week, Western's President Harvey C. Bunke indicated that in his opinion the changes were acceptable. The proposal, however, will be submitted to the office of the dean of students for approval. Bunke indicated the dean would approve the changes. The proposed changes are as follows: included is a brief explanation of previous policy: A student will be notified in writing previous to appearing before the disciplinary committee, and the specific policy he has broken will be included in the written notice. Present policy states that a student will be notified before his case appears, but does not denote that notification be in writing. Any student appearing before the disciplinary committee may request the admittance of resource person-el on his behalf. Present policy allows for no such personal recommendations, unless they come from the members already on the board; The disciplinary committee will consist of two students, a professional counselor, the dean of students, and two faculty members appointed by the faculty. DEAN PLAYS THREE ROLES The dean of men will no longer be a part of the appeal board. Presently the dean of men is arresting officer, member of the review board and also a member of the appeal board. A student may remain in school while his appeal is pending. Presently students are suspended from (Continued on page 14)
