After a careful investigation it has been found that there are no alchemists or witches. The major personage be­ behind the speculation is a rat, or to be more exact, five rats. This all began long ago (almost a year ago) when Sue Hein decided to do a seminar on schizo­ phrenia. While she toured Europe last summer she did some reading in various universities. One article which especially interested her was about a psychoses-inducing drug, lysergic acid diethyla­ mide (LSD). This drug was discovered in Switzer­ land in the last 20 years and has induced states much like schizophrenia. Nations United ... for Peace Sue wanted to see this state, and as she is not by MARY DITTMER qualified to work with humans on such a project, she decided to work with rats.
