Book store runs unexpected sale The book store ran an unexpected discount sale on two German III texts last Tuesday. Book store manager Neil McAfee said, "it was sort of a mechanicalmental error." GERMAN FICTION AND POETRY sold for $2, regularly priced at $5.50 after "the price was set up wrong on the machine." INTERMEDIATE CONVERSATIONAL GERMAN sold for a dollar under the regular price of $5 when the code and list price were accidently reversed. Students from Adolf Heyne's 2 p.m. German III class learned of the mistake and 3 or 4 took advantage of it. Others in the class were disturbed over their classmates bargain. Heyne checked the book list prices and called the book store. The mistake was quickly rectified before news of the "discount sale" spread.

Stainbrook: drugs and the mind
Lecturer cites youthS
heed to communicate' "When Mr. Jones can understand what is happening as you do," said Dr. Edward Stainbrook, paraph r &. sing Bob Dylan, "something meaningful shall have been accomplished." Dr. Stainbrook, of USC, spoke here Friday to a record- breaking audience in the first Humanities Lecture of the Fall series. His topic was "The Use of Drugs in Mood Changing and Mind Changing." "Young people need to communicate something through drug use . The established society -- their parents -- aren't getting the message.'' The lecture began with a disdainment of drug use in general. ''Its danger is that it prevents socializing,'' Stainbrook explained. "Drugs are attractive to , among others, persons who are anxious about growing up and who have trouble with social conquest. So, they resort to this short-circuit pleasure.'' Impersonalization of the self, he said. is another danger. "At any stage in our development we are what we are because of our history-organized body . Self is a humanized-socialized body. Under certain drugs the self becomes impersonalized.''

Dr. Stainbrook is a graduate of Duke University where he received both a Ph.D. in psychology and a M.D. He is presently professor and chairman of the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Southern California School of Medicine and Chief Psychiatrist at Los Angeles County General Hospital. In a question and answer period fol lowing the 10 a.m. lecture, Stainbrook made these points: --False or misleading information publicized creates a "credibility gap" causing mistrust by young people of almost any information concerning dangers of drug use. --The effect of LSD has m .1ch to do with the state of mind of the person taking it. He usually receives the kind of •trip' --good or bad --that he anticipates. Also important are environment and company. --LSD can be a "missing link to insight,'' in roughly the same way that alcohol can relax a person so he can think better. LSD can provide new perspective to problems. Overall topic of this year's lecture series is ''Search for Awareness: Isolation or Involvement."
