New institute fosters
environmental study
By Jim Davit
Oagon 0**t l "xrakl
The University has estab
lished a new environmental
institute to foster cross-discipli
nary research and education on
the preservation of the Earth.
The Institute for a Sustainable
Knvironment will support facul
ty and graduate student research
in environmental issues. It also
will allow students to apply and
test environmental concepts and
theories hv becoming involved
with regional projects.
"Because environmental prob
lems are seldom adequately
addressed by a single discipline,
the institute is particularly con
( erned with encouraging cross
disciplinary research, education
and public service." said iohn
Baldwin, director of the institute
and professor of the department
of planning, public policy and
management.
Specifically, the institute will
support existing and potential
environmental research projects
at the University. It is designed
as an umbrella organizational
and informational exchange for
existing environmental pro
grams on campus, such as the
Chernobyl Project and the Envi
ronmental Studies Program.
However, its resources also
will he used to help corpora
tions develop environmentally
sound polic n*s, Baldwin said.
"The institute will work to
find solutions for existing envi
ronmental problems rather than
point fingers." Baldwin said.
"People in the corporate world
are tired of doing things the
wrong way.
"There's n balance between a
good economy and a good ecol
ogy — having one without the
other is crazy."
The institute also will sponsor
speakers on campus to help cre
ate environmental awareness
Students will be able to get
information about job and
internship opportunities in
environmental career fields at
the institute, and can place their
resume in a file there. Several
people already have been placed
on internships, Baldwin said
Although the institute is cur
rently supported by the Univer
sity, Baldwin believes that by
the end of the year the institute
will "break even."
The institute is still in devel
opmental stages, but will have
its grand opening Feb. 1H, when
Don Lesh, a prominent figure in
the field of environmentalism, is
scheduled to speak.
"There are a thousand differ
ent bureaucratic details that still
need to be taken cure of," Bald
win said, "like telling the mail
ing department that we exist.”
Administration mails out
drua use survey forms
By Mandy Baucum
<>(»g<Yi Daily tm&akl
Attention: drug users
The University wants to know what you use, how often you use
it and how old you were when you tried drills for the first time. Don't
worry, they won't t.ike you in for it It's just a survey.
As part of a federal study of student drug use, the administration
mailed the survey Friday to 1,000 randomly chosen students.
The survey asks .23 questions on a Scantron-type form Drugs men
tioned include most illegal substances, such as hallucinogens and
nan otics, .is well as alcohol, tobacco and steroids, said Debora Land
fort e. a grant coordinator for the Dean of Students office.
In the spring, the University will got the survey results back and
use them to design an alcohol and drug-use-prevention campaign
aimed at entering freshmen.
"The information helps us design our programs from year to year."
Landfon e said. "Wo need to know what people are doing to respond
to it "
The University is required to mail out the survey because of a grant
it rr*i eived for SI 19.000. As port of the grant contract, the adminis
tration must do the survey for three years in a row. This year is the
survey's second year.
The University sends in its statistics to the national survey head
quarters where they can be compared with other universities' sta
tistics, Land force said.
The results from last year's survey showed that University students
consume less alcohol compared to the national average but use ille
gal drugs more often. Marijuana consumption was 33 percent high
er than the national average.
Students chosen for the survey should receive a packet by today
at the latest They should also expect a follow-up letter later in the
term reminding them to return the survey.
