Cocaine
Continued from Page 1
Average users buy the drug
once or twice a month,
"especially if there's a good
social event going on," the third
dealer says. "We sell a lot dur
ing frat party weekends."
"A lot is sold on days when it's
sunny, when people have been
active all day and feel like party
ing," adds the second dealer.

Code-A-Phone 1080
Telephone Answering System
reg. $189.95 MOW $ 1 1 0^
With the Code-A
Phone® 1080, callers can
leave longer messages and
never be left hanging. Because
as they talk, the 1080’s voice
controlled system continues to
record every word—for up to
three unhurried minutes. Or
set the 1080 to limit your
messages to 45 seconds each.
What’s more, when the
caller stops talking, the tape
stops running. Virtually every
inch of the cassette is used
without interruption or wasted,
empty space.
You don’t even have to
be at the machine to make it
perform for you. A 2'/2-ounce
pocket coder transmits an
electronic signal through
phone lines to operate the
1080 by remote control. For
greater message capacity, a
cancel feature automatically
rewinds the cassette to start
fresh again after messages
have been retrieved. So if you
can reach a phone, you can
reach your messages.

But just as important as
number of users is purity of the
drug.
"Uninformed users" believe
they are getting 75 to 90 percent
pure cocaine, but according to
the first dealer, "even if you've
got Mafia connections, the best
you'll get is 40 percent pure."
What makes up the rest can
be just about anything: manatol,
commonly thought of as a baby
laxative; vitamin B compounds;
procaine, a substance related to
novacaine in its anesthetic ef
fect and from the same plant as
cocaine; and amphetamines.
But campus dealers say they
don't add anything to the pot
pourri that reaches them.
"It gets cut in the upper
ranks. There's too much com
petition at this level to mess it
up very much," the third dealer
says.
Although dealing connections
are easy to establish current
dealers say selling cocaine is not
for eveyone.
"Finding connections has to
do with the attitude portrayed
and a hell of a lot of luck. And
when you have one connection,
it's easier to get two or three,"
the first dealer says.
Money is the primary motiva
tion for getting into dealing, ac
cording to these students.
"After dealing in high school,
I realized the campus situation
would be really good for that.
There's extreme profit in it, but
the big problem is snorting up
all your profits," says the third
dealer, who clears nearly $250 a
week, an almost 40 percent
return on the investment.
Other factors provide the in
centive to deal cocaine.
"I saw a lot of my friends buy
ing drugs that were bogus — so
the time was right for me to
establish the connections to do
what I do," says the first dealer,
who agrees that such a noble at
titude might be a little far
fetched.
"It might sound stupid, but I
wanted to get them quality
drugs.
"But the money's definitely
there — all it amounts to is hav
ing a little extra spending
money."
There are certain prere
quisites to dealing, according to
these dealers.
"You have to be very in
telligent, and you have to be
cordial because you deal with a
lot of arrogant people. I would
recommend that a person
shouldn't get involved — there's
a lot of things you never stop to
realize," the first dealer says.
Capital is another necessity,
according to the third dealer.
"You need to really set up
shop and prepare to put in a lot
of time," the dealer says.
"You tend to gain a lot of
friends and lose a lot of friends.
Often people hang around ex
pecting to benefit from being
your friend — you can't trust
anyone, the second dealer
says.
Eugene does not have a lot of
dealers, according to these
dealers — probably fewer than
40 in the Eugene-Springfield
area, by one account. They say
it's easy to keep tabs on each
other.
"There is competition, but it
isn't detrimental," the third
dealer says.
And the fear of getting caught
is very real to all dealers.
"It's a constant thought.
Sometimes I get really tense and
take everything out of my
possession, but there's always
residue left," the first dealer
says.
"I didn't used to get scared,
but you get careless after a
while and take things for
granted. It helps to have a clean
record," the third dealer adds.
The potential for stress seems
to be the biggest difficulty in
dealing cocaine.
"There are three ways to get
into trouble: through legal
means, through overconsump
tion on the dealer's part and
with the higher-up people who
tend to be ruthless," the first
dealer says.
But dealers say benefits over
shadow the disadvantages.
"It's easy to get used to the
money, the amount of cocaine
and it's easy to get into debt in
college, which would give you a
reason to keep dealing," the se
cond dealer says.
"It's such easy money to
make, too — there's probably
nothing easier, " the dealer
adds.
"Pot isn't worth the time it
takes to deal it, and I feel bad
about selling heroin or pills.
Coke is clean," the third dealer
says.
Occasionally it can become
nearly impossible to get away
from dealing cocaine when the
dealer has moved up into "The
Ranks," where dealing becomes
a matter of livelihood.
"At times I really want out
because it's such a hassle and it
takes so much time. But when
people come to you and there's
money to be made, it's hard to
say no," the third dealer says.
The uniqueness that once
characterized cocaine is gone,
according to this dealer.
"It's become more com
monplace, but the fascination is
still there," the dealer adds.
"A lot of people, who you'd
never suspect of doing coke,
love it when they try it — it's
become very socially accep
table," the dealer says.
"On this campus, cocaine use
is very widespread," the first
dealer says. "There is not a set
faction of people that use it, no
averages. Frat boys, sorority
girls, athletes, granolas all use
it."
