contested the theory that the transition from a wartime to a peacetime economy would necessarily bring widescale unemployment and depression speaking in grace hall monday night hatfield also touched on the role of congress in world affairs national priorities the possibilities of an all volunteer army and recent american bombing raids over north vietnam hatfield stated that the predominant problem in adjusting to a peacetime economy is creating a peace psychology he said that americans think war or the prepar ation for war is vital to our survival particularly in the economic sector hatfield gave as an example reactions to a senate bill he is sponsoring that would create a national economic conversion commission the bill would require industries to sub mit plans to the government designating what it would take in terms of cost retooling retraining new products etc to convert their businesses to peacetime uses in a questionnaire sent to industrial and labor leaders the senator found that i industry and labor have made no attempt at initiating programs for the convpr sion to a peacetime economy 2 industry has made little or no plans concerning what civilian products could be produced instead of the war materials presently manufactured 3 industry would be unwilling to make the switch unless the customary wartime profits could be realized 4 labor is particularly concerned about the possibility of mass unemployment as the result of defense cutbacks already 350,000 workers have lost their jobs in defense-oriented corporations with the prospects of almost 2 million including jobless returning serviceman inthe next two years ' psychic barrier hatfield's bill signed by 30 other senators would provide industry with the necessary leadership and incentives to institute the conversion most important it will break the psychologlcal.barrler that says we wiil always be on a war economy " hatfield disputed the notion that defense cutbacks would have any harmful effects on america's economic health he explained that out of every 100 dollars of a taxpayers money 48.37 is spent directly on defense 11.50 in paying of debts incurred in past wars and 4.96 in vet erans benefits this totals 64 3 per cent of the total budget for wartime economy expenditures hatfield contrasted these figures with those spent on domestic programs — 1.60 delta u bookdrive termed a success by walter wilczynski during the past month delta upsilon fraternity conducted a drive to collect books and magazines for needy patients in st luke's hospital the response to the drive was so overwhelming that the fraternity is arranging to distribute the books to other organizations dave ball 71 said that the drive conducted throughout the university's fraternity community yielded over a thousand books and 400 magazines we got so many of these books st luke's didn't have enough room for them he said quite a few of the houses contacted gave over 100 books ball reported as did dean brennan ball said that half the books contributed were soft back novels and the rest ranged from hardback novels to technical journals and textbooks gryphons forced to deal with increasing drug use by william david green editor's note the following article appeared in the gryphon society news paper the pncked ear "' the author a gryphon in richards a has instituted a new policy with regard to drug use in his section in recent years the grvphon society lias been confronted by a continually rising rate of drug use amongst tlie freshman a.ss in the past there existed essentially three methods open to the counselor in handling this problem one method employed more in the past than now wa.s to totally ban drugs from the section at all times with possible disciplinary action for those who broke the rule unfortunately this method also resulted in the drug-users banning themselves from their sections this consequence often ended any hope for either the counselor or the freshman to reach each other for any counseling confrontation this method has been viturally eliminat ed although sometimes used partially with other methods of drug control the ban was an outgrowth of very tight university regulations throughout the school but with loosening of the rules so went the ban but the problem grew and has remained with us on the opposite side of the ledger the method of total unconcern exists in handling freshmen drug-use increase this method is the easiest to follow but the conse quences could be disastrous not only could the user be placing himself in serious danger but perhaps tlie non-user could be distressed as the smell of grass burning reaches his room while this attitude may be wrong several reasons contribute to his views and he deserves to be heard also the possibility of other numerous situations occurring is very strong where drug use proceeds without any static an alternative the third method of dealing with drugs in a section is the most often followed and believed to be a modern and enlightened attitude at that essentially since each counselor has his own variations the student is permitted to use drugs in the section as long as he is a not affecting any member of the section negatively b not attempt ing to compel or taunt a fellow section member into trying the drugs c using discre tion in his personal drug use and d not selling drugs to other people ( ln other words since there is no concession card given to a pusher do not try selling today this appears to be the method most prevalent ln the society without question this method is superior to the previous methods of either a total condemnation or total b&w photo by mccormick sen mark hatfield said tuesday that the transition from a wartime to a peacetime economy would not necessarily bring
