Mr. Sturgis, fellow class-
mates:
In the modern world of to-
day medical research has given
us substances to cure every
ache or pain. For example,
if you are rundown, take a
spoonful and energize; if you
are restless, take a capsule and
tranquilize:, if you are promis-
cuous, take the pill and neutra-
lize; or if you are dejected,
take LSD and hallucinize. It .
is about this last point that I
would like to speak today,
Ever since the beginning of
time men have tried to tamper
with the brain to make it func-
tion in a way it is not supposed
to. In literature the tale of
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is a
classic example of mind tam-
pering and its horrible results.
Now comes the latest effort, a
drug identified as lysergic acid
dythalamide, better known as
LSD. This chemical compound
is capable of providing a flight
into fancy at bargain basement
prices. With knowledge of the
simple formula a high school
chemistry student can make
enough LSD during a morning
lab period to keep him in
trouble for a week-end or a
lifetime,
The possibilities of LSD
aren't yet fully realized. In
animals which have been tested
it has caused severe nervous
disorders, while in humans it
is thought to affect the tissues
in the brain which indirectly
control the ability to receive
and interpret sensory informa-
tion.
Dr. Edward Stainbrook,
chairman of the department of
psychiatry of the University of
Southern California, says it is
tnetatnorphical poppycock to
refer to this drugged state as a
mind expanding state of cOn-
sciouSnest. The fact is, he
adds, LSD users don't like the
reality of life so they Seek re-
petitive gratification through
a drug instead of trying to
change reality.

Of the press, While ostensibly
condemning it have given
public lessons in its use. Some
ascribe to It the power "to

Wight, but for all their 81140
ed sincerity they seem to put
little value on human life it-
self. Some even try to invest
it with the trappings of a re-
ligious cult.
LSD is supposed to be an
easy out; a cheap trip. But the
return journey is highly expen-
sive if not completely prohibi-
tive. Like a spelunker who has
explored a dark meandering
cave, someone needs to set a
sign at the entrance that says
"Already explored, goes no-
where!" The real world, for
all its aches and pains, is better
than a dream world that offers
nothing, demands nothing, asks
nothing of life.
