DIC Director Mark Miller says the state, suffering budgetary pains of its own, has made severe cutbacks in the human resources department budget, the state agency that funds the DIC. The DIC receives money from the ASUO and Lane County which the state matches. The center provides informa IMPORTED coffee ^ tea By theTound or by the Cup Kinko’s 764 E. 13 th 344.7894 Bean of the Month Kenya $4.45 lb.

Miller es timates that 40 percent of the University student body uses the service. “We are very worried," he says of the tentative fate of the nine-year-old agency that keeps students, residents, schools and local government agencies abreast of current drug trends. And, to make things worse, “our service load keeps growing." The DIC is the only center of its kind on the West Coast, and Miller says it would be sorely missed. The DIC’s “one-of-a-kind” drug library offers books not found anywhere on University library shelves, he says. Pre sentations on drugs to Universi ty health classes would also end if the DIC expired. And the community would lose ‘‘the best drug experts in the state," he says, describing them as “irreplaceable.” Miller doesn’t know the effect of the cuts on the DIC yet, but he fears the center may lose 40-50 percent of its funding. Miller and the three other DIC employees are writing letters to Salem and investigating other ways to keep the center afloat The agency has sought grants from large corporations, but their requests have proved futile, according to Miller. "We've written to everyone," he says, admitting that there aren’t many possible answers left =AVIATION TRAINEES^ WANTED!

Very little, Miller complains, goes for drug education and prevention. “That doesn’t make sense,’’ Miller says. NW cities ask for ash relief OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) - Of ficials from 15 counties and ci ties in the path of Mount St. Helens’ destruction last May have asked the Legislature for an emergency $12 million ap propriation to pay cleanup costs. “Basically, I’m asking and pleading for help,” said Marvin Carroll, Whitman County public works director. He said last spring’s disaster aftermath has nearly bankrupted the county. Carroll was one of several city and county officials who tes tified Friday before the House Appropriations General Government Committee. Many costs incurred after the eruptions have been disallowed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency and also are not covered by state funds, the officials said. rLASSIFIEPS GREGGIE HAPPY BIRTHDAY I hope you're looking forward to a fun-filled evening I am!
