Addiction Not Important' Medical Opinions Offered on Drugs By LEE O'CONNOR Kmrratd Staff Wrttrr l)rn. Norman David and Elton McCawley, professors of pharma cology, Joseph B. Trainer, Director of Health Services, and Paul Blachly, professor of psychiatry, today discussed "Drugs and the Student" in the second program of a University sponsored series on drugs. The panel discussion, moderated by Dr. W. A. Brooksby, dealt with different types of drugs, the people who use them, and their effect on people. "Drug addiction is not important on campus” according to Trainer because drugs are tried by college students as part of their learning process “Most people can sample drugs without becoming hooked,” ho said. The people who do have problems with drugs are “people who have trouble fitting in” or those people who have “certain instabilities, either self generated or inherited,” Trainer added. McCawley, who has smoked marijuana, stated his opinion that drugs are a “poor substitute for cigarettes and cigars.” He stated that the drug Canabus has no medical merit and that its effect on people is not dependable. A high crime rate and large rate of insanity, he said, is prevalent among Canabus users. Rarbituates, benzedrine, and amphetamines and the effect they have on the human body was discussed by Norman David. Barbitu ates, a sleep producing pill known as “the dolls" or “goofballs,” are perhaps more dangerous than any other kind of drug, he said. Overdose can result in death. Amphetamines or pep pills are “toxic to the brain and they produce organic damage," according to David, who said that these pills are among the most commonly used. “Any use of drugs is a social phenomena" according to Blachly, since several diverse groups have used them in American history. Drugs “can suppress basic needs and substitute secondary drives,” he explained, because those who arc addicted to drugs use them as a medium between people. Drug addicts also feel no need for society and people, Blachly noted. Board To Consider Money for New Co-op The State Emergency Board will consider the request to spend 5*010,000 for co-operative housing at the University today in Salem. The request would ask the Emergency Board to allow the Slate System of Higher Educa tion to use some of its bonding capacity for the project. A number of questions about how the building will be run is still to be decided by the Board of Higher Education at its De cember meeting. The project was originally in tended to provide housing for several women’s co-ops at the University. Co-Ed Housing, the group which runs the co-ops, has not decided, however, whether it will use the buildings because of some of the policies the Board of Higher Education may impose. The one that Co-Ed Housing Six Students Tapped By Skull and Dagger Skull and Dagger, sophomore men’s honorary, has tapped six students on the basis of scholar ship, character, and service to the University, according to Jake Warsaw, organization president. Rick Lunan, Maurice Denner, Chris Martin, Gerry Suchanek, Jim Oyala, and Sui Yim Au have been tapped. Tapping took place at the Homecoming dance. especially dislikes is the possible requirement that the University must select the women who will live in the housing. Co-Ed Housing’s board has sent a letter to the Emergency Board saying that they may not use the housing, although theirs is an emergency, but that the University needs the housing any way.
