Samples
not organic,
Drug Center
says
University Drug Information
Center’s reports numbers 19 and
20 both concluded that there is a
general misrepresentation in the
sale of the organic drugs.
Of the 10 samples of organic
drugs submitted, only one was
returned as organic. There was
no improvement in the
misrepresentation of LSD for
psilocybin. There was only one
real sample of mushroom among
the many submitted. The first
heroin sample (diacetylmor
phine) was also submitted in the
period the reports covered.

Wilderness aid for mountain shown
If you were to happen upon a
seriously wounded individual in a
wilderness area far from medical
assistance, what would you do?
If your response is to throw up,
run away, or spray eveything in
sight with Bactine, perhaps you
should have attended the Outdoor
Medicine Program in the EMU
Wednesday night.
Guest speaker Mike Thoele,
emergency medical technician
and a Junction City volunteer
fireman, lectured on emergency
first aid and rescue procedures in
the wilderness and demonstrated
medical techniques dependent
upon human innovation and
available materials.
In his discussion, Thoele
described a variety of injuries
and explained the medical
procedures to be used in each
situation. Thoele also demon
strated practical applications of
the orthopedic stretcher and
traction splint, and illustrated
improvisational techniques for
transporting the injured through
rugged terrain.
The course, sponsored by
Eugene Mountain Rescue, is
organized by Steve Ross, Bob
Johnson, and Bud Proctor. Now
in its second week, the class
provides medical knowledge for
the person active in the outdoors
and emphasizes the fact that at
any moment an individual can be
confronted with an injury
demanding immediate medical
attention. In addition, the course
goes beyond basic first aid

Of the remaining meetings, two
will be lecture sessions and the
third seminar will be a weekend
of practical application in an
outdoor setting.
Scheduled speakers for this
week’s session include Dr.
Winston Maxwell and Karen
McLean of Eugene Parks and
Recreation. Both lecturers will
deal with the topic of “En
vironmental and Psychological
Injuries.” The meeting is
scheduled for Tuesday at 7 p.m.
in the EMU.

Symptomless gonorrhea
found possible for males
, Lane County health officials
are discovering that males can
have gonorrhea and have vir
tually no symptoms.
Until recently, explained
Veneral Disease Investigator Bill
Leslie, it was a common belief
that if a man did not have distinct
symptoms he was not infected.
Leslie explained that
gonorrhea, which is far more
prevalent than syphilis in Oregon
and Lane County, has an in
cubation period of between three
and five days. Because most men
show symptoms if they are in
fected, Leslie says that doctors
and health departments have
generally ignored men who might
have what is described as
“asymptomatic gonorrhea.”
Of the men tested at the Lane
County Health Department’s
Veneral Disease Clinic, Leslie
said 20 per cent of those who
tested positive for gonorrhea
show no recognizable symptoms.
Leslie explained that this
causes further problems in the
detection and eradication of
gonorrhea. Already detection is
complicated by the fact that
women frequently don’t have
recognizable symptoms, and that
both men and women are often
reluctant to seek treatment for
the disease.
Lane County presently has a
VD rate that is the fourth highest
in the state, with 525 cases per
100,000 population, compared to a
national average of ap
proximately 310 per 100,000.
Lane County has perhaps one of
the most active and progressive
VD education and treatment
programs in the Northwest.
A clinic is held four afternoons
a week where Leslie says
“persons who come in for a VD
test can find out as much as they
By JOSH MARQUIS
Of the Emerald
want to about VD, but we don’t
force anything on them.”
Leslie stressed that when he
talks to someone who has con
tracted VD, he encourages that
person to get in touch with per
sons whom they have come in
sexual contact with, and advise
them to get in touch with the
clinic or a private doctor.
Leslie explained another
program in the detection of VD
which has proved very suc
cessful. Called a “screening
program,” many women who go
to their private physicians for
routine examinations are now
routinely given a culture test for
gonnorrhea. ..
Since most women are
unaware that they have VD when
they are in fact infected, Leslie
says the screening program has
proven a great help in detecting
VD in women. Leslie cited
statistics that reported that in a
30-day period, 17 women who
were tested at the VD clinic
specifically for VD had positive
tests while 30 others who were in
the clinic for routine
examinations were found to be
infected.
Leslie says that gonorrhea is in
epidemic proportions in Lane
County, as it is in most other
parts of the United States.
VD is rated as the “most
prevalent communicable disease
in the nation with the exception of
upper respiratory infections (i.e.
colds).” This means that VD is
more common than pneumonia,
mumps, measles, chicken pox or
mononucleosis.
In addition to lecturing before
University Health classes on VD,
Leslie and others in the Health
Department distribute posters,
give talks at high schools, and
make public service an
nouncement for radio and
television stations. Leslie
stressed that the philosophy of
the department is to train the
teachers in the public schools to
teach about VD so “it doesn’t
become a forbidden subject.”
Leslie said that he hopes people
are beginning to learn that there
are not a few “carriers” of VD
who “spread the disease,” but
rather men and women who
simply fail to recognize the
symptoms of VD.
