Drug Information Center faces closure
The University’s Drug Infor
mation Center may close its
doors for good this year
because of financial difficulties.
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

tion about legal and illegal
drugs to anyone. 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

“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.

Out went the light!!! We thought in the morning
at four would be such a bore, since members
are awake at the slightest little quake. So at
5 45 just at dinner time, we darkened the house
and moved like a mouse, with rice and sugar all
over the floor - we got up and headed for the
door. You thought it was an ATO that pulled the
sparks in your cars, oh but you were wrong by
far! We love you members! Love, THE 1980
