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.

"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.
