The purpose of the survey is "to keep up with drug impact at USC to help with drug education programming," according to a university official. A drug survey report released lasf December said that "the scope of hard drug usage on the USC campus has not reached serious proportions. However, the sam plings do suggest the potential for a serious drug abuse problem." It also said that' "there is a demonstrated need, already recognized by USC officials, for a concentrated education program among students and potential students concerning the inherent dangers in frequent or regular use or drugs" .4 Al Yesterday started the servance of Earth Week, a lc at the ecological problems U 0 Universiti 0 named by By HOLLY GATLING Staff Writer Officers for the Student Union were named Wednesday by the Union's President-elect Ron Bifani.

Bifani who will take office on May 3 at the Student Union awards banquet. said that the newly ap pointed vice-presidents are "people who are interested in the Union and interested in serving the students." Bifani said that his aim as president of the Union is to 'escalate" student activities. "Something I want to do is to improve the image of the Student Union," Bitfani said. "All students are members (of the Union)," Bifani said, "but not all are active." He said that to be an active member constitutes serving on a committee. He in dicated that there are about 244) active members. A junior majoring in geology, Hitani said that he wants "good relat ions wit h Student Government and the Gamecock.

He indicated that better relations could be achieved by putting "our forces together in a positive direction and in this way provide more for the students." A problem that Bifani says the Gamecock can help solve is that of entertainment. He said "selecting entertainment is a problem like better participation. Concerts can be a big thing if you get the groups people want." To solve that problem Bifani says that a Student Union calendar could be published once a week in The Gamecock.
