Brown and White Vol. 78 no. 22

              brown and white vol 78 no 22 bethlehem pa tuesday december 13 1966 866-033 dean gets vehicle control by dan gladding effective the end of this week the whole area of motor vehicles will be transferred to the office of the dean of students arthur msnn assistant dean of students announced friday starting officially next monday all records concerning motor vehicles will be kept in the dean of student's office and that office will settle all traffic cases handle all automobile registrations and will be responsible for setting motor vehicle policy the campus police will report all violations directly to us mann said all violations will be handled only by the office of the dean of students the change which was initiated by the dean's council has been approved by the treasurer's office and the office of buildings and grounds in a memorandum issued by the dean's council one of the reasons for the relocation of motor vehicle responsibility was because the superintendent of buildings and grounds of necessity is primar ily involved with things whereas the dean of students are primarily involved with people although motor vehicle regulations certainly do hot comprise an area which any office in the university seeks to administer it would seem logical to place this in a people office another reason quoted by the deans council was the overlap in motor vehicle regulations some of the overlap and necessary duplication of effort could be avoided by centralisation of this area of responsibility in the office of the dean of students the memor andum said the transfer of authority over motor vehicles to the dean of students was made with the understanding that a thorough review of all policies and practices in the area of motor vehicle regulations would be made mann said we will study the entire motor vehicle picture mann said but there will be no immediate changes we will try to get enough experience in the next semester to set up a committee of students or possibly of faculty and students to see where we go from there arthur h hann eight of nine elected are new to arcadia by marty marasco eight of the nine newly elected members of arcadia

causes problems hat hinder progress toward a situation which would be more pleasing to students and faculty than the present one representing the faculty were clarence campbell director of residence halls william quay assistant dean of student life francis brady assistant professor of accounting and jonathan flkus professor of music one portion of the discussion concerned the extension of privileges that as quay said would remove the psychological barriers about the difference etween residence halls and fraternities he also said that the personal contact that ls so important in college is limited somewhat by these psychological barriers prof brady backed this by adding the ifc and rhc could get much more done if they would work together rather than against each other when asked about extending privileges e.g relaxing of fresh man residence halls alcoholic beverage rules campbell said he is perfectly willing to grant his support to proposals for these privileges most people were quite surprised at this and during the ensuing discussion it became obvious that everyone had assumed that such proposals would be vetoed and tliat no one had ever bothered to ask camp l>ell al>out the matters comments were also made al-uiit freshman life brady and flkus said they would like to see the no-contact rule aboil s hex and the frosh segregation eliminated flkus supported a

defends lsd sacrament by donald palmer more than 3,000 people were in muhlenberg's memorial hall thursday night to see a debate on lsd between dr timothy leary and dr donald lourla what they actually saw was the visionary prophet leary of the league for spiritual discovery defending his religious sacrament lsd against the documented medical indictment of lourla to me what we're going through tonight ls a classic confrontation leary declared it is the oldest drama of civilization tn history the priest and the prophet leary considers himself the " visionary prophet and the members of the establishment as the priests or the dogmatic resistance to his movement i render unto the establishment what is theirs but i can't let dr lourla have anything to do with my consciousness said leary in his most appealing argument for lsd he said that any bureaucratic es tablishment which tried to control his mind was comparable to a " big brother movement leary said that his new religion was a necessity due to the sick climate present in america today he said that america is on the verge of becoming an enormous insane asylum chemicals are the sacraments of the spiritual renaissance of the 20th century leary declared he said that whenever a religion is started there must be a method for turning on the internal impulses of society he cited lsd as his method for " turning on society leary compared his role in society to that of christ and buddha he did not imply that he is as great as they were but he considers himself " the enlightener or the prop at of his religion " if you seek a canned static solution to life you will lead a canned static life leary declared he urged the audience to challenge haw photo by butt dr donald louria ba w photo by butt ml timothy leary see big page
