New drug policy positive document The University's new formal drug policy approved by the Board of Trustees last Saturday is basically a positive document. It holds that the primary responsibility of the academic community concerning the problem is education. The policy recommends "A full and comprehensive educational program"-a good idea-since there is a lot of mis-information available, some of it from law en forcement agencies. Too many people refuse to separate heroin from marijuana, and this contributes to skepticism about all drug information. But perhaps the most important part of the policy concerns the university's role in counseling those with drug problems. The Counseling Bureau, University Health Service and Psychological Services Center are now legally sanctioned to provide totally confidential assistance. If you've been strung out on amps for two weeks because of tests or just for the high and you want to come down and get your head in shape, those people can help. Not even John Foard or Pete Strom will be able to come after you, according to the law. The policy reads, "the university. will consider situations where a student initiates the contact as completely confidential." We believe the university will keep its parts of the deal. But .... the last line of the policy reads "It must be clear that local, state, and federal laws apply equally on campus as well as off campus." If you were hoping that USC would become "safe zone" as several northeastern colleges are, forget it. This place is well covered by narcs, and in formers particularly. And as 1972 is a local election year, arrests will probably be more frequent. The university's position was developed taking many factors into account in this touchy issue and is probably the best we could expect.

Later tradE .y i" 0 Voc TO THE EDITOR: In past years the "Garnet and Black" has been accused of misuse of allocations-i.e., poor use because the book has failed to cover student activities and viewpoints and has tended to look as though it was thrown together at the last minute by a frantic handful of people eager to show some end product, no matter how un desirable, for the amount of money they have spent. Well, this year the book is off to a new start and will make every effort to fully cover the student year. The book is being reorganized and reinvigorated. Sections have been added and much of the old procedure used to put together a book will be thrown aside for the new and innovative methods used to reflect more of the personality of USC's student body. We need student co-operation if this book is to be a success. We ask that any student who has an opinion he feels should be heard (on drugs, fraternities, the athletics-academics emphasis controversy, the war, politics, etc.) should write his opinion in prose or verse form and send it to us at Box t Gameco iorning, Paul Dietzel came os e.
