One
week
to learn
about
drug
abuse
"There is not much dif
ference between alcohol and
drug usage on a moderate
basis," explained Harold
James, assistant professor of
educational counseling, about
his summer seminar in drug
addiction and experience.
The College of Education
offers this intensive one-week
course for the second time
this summer. Open to all
interested students, the
Counseling 407 session begins
July 16.
The class will not include
an in-depth study of the
pharmacological aspects of
addiction, but is designed to
"develop an awareness of
conditions resulting from
drug and alcohol abuse,
education sources, and
treatment facilities." James

Of the E meraid
said. The class will explore
the causes of addiction,
symptoms, properties of
drugs, and treatment dir
ection.
Students can learn to
recognize the behaviors
characteristic of drug abuse,
to help the individual get the
needed help, to get further
training, and how to start aid
programs such as Eugene’s
White Bird Clinic. James also
emphasized the class will not
turn out another "bummer
squad" but will provide
meaningful information for
people who have public
contacts on how to aid and
recognize drug abusers.
The class is also a
movement toward com
munity-based organization of
human services, James said.
The course might par
ticularly help counseling
students become aware of
some of the problems they
will have to handle, James
said.
The Air Force Pilot has it
made. Air Force ROTC
will help you make it.
Here’s how.
If you qualify, the Air Force ROTC will give you free flying lessons. It’ll be in a Cessna
150—you’re started towards the day when you'll solo in an Air Force jet.
That’s only one of the fringe benefits of the Air Force ROTC Program. Consider all
this:
Scholarships—6,500 of them that cover full tuition. Plus reimbursement for text
books. Plus lab and incidental fees.
Plus $100 a month, tax-free, to use as you like.

Outward
Bound:
a bit too
popular
By STEVE FREDERICK
Of the E merald
It's too late for hesitant
outdoor enthusiasts to enroll
in the Northwest Outward
Bound school for this sum
mer - the classes are full and
so are the waiting lists ac
cording to Sally-Jo Moan,
publications coordinator for
the Eugene school. She at
tributes the increased
popularity of the program to
better publicity and public
recognition, a trend toward
less vehicle use in outdoor
recreation, and the nation
wide telecast last fall of a 24
day class in a special
p r og r a m.
In addition to th** usual 24
day outings in Idaho's
Sawtooth Primitive Area, the
N or th Cascades in
Washington, and the Three
Sisters Wilderness Area in
Oregon, the Northwest school
will offer three adult courses.
An abbreviated twelve day
version of the youth course
and a nine day Wilderness
Sk is course will be carried
over from last year with the
addition of a nine-day White
Water course on the
McK enzie river
"I would suggest writing
around October or November
for our literature," said
Moan, "and a little earlier for
our winter classes."
In an attempt to provide
city bound or otherwise
underprivileged children with
the wilderness experience,
Outward Bound provides full
or partial scholarships to 40
per cent of its students, ac
cording to Moan, awarded on
the basis of financial need.
The program aims, through a
variety of diverse activities in
schools located across the
nation, to provide its students
with an enriching encounter
with nature. The student
conditions himself and
acquires outdoor skills in
preparation for a three day
solo outing designed to en
courage introspection and
self confidence
plant
a garden
for the
revolution
