What do you think is the most
abused drug on campus ?
marijuana, speed.cocaine? If you
said any of the above, you're
wrong. It's alcohol and according
to statisticsi.it is the number one
substance abbsed in the United
States.
Mimi Parrott, dean of special
services and head of the USC
Campus Alcohol Project, said 77 to

alcohol.
Parrott said there are unique
factors which exist in a college
environment. "It's not the real
world. If a student wants to stay
out and drink all night and then
sleep the next day, he can. It
becomes very easy to slip into such
patterns that won't work anywhere
else. There's a total lack of accountability
at college."
PAKKOTT SAID studies have
shown that the patterns people
develop between the ages of 18 and
22 come back later in life. "If you
learn an abusive pattern of alcohol
in college, it is more likely to crop
up in later life and present
problems.
This is a growing area of concern
of many people. These figures do
not imply that this campus is
composed of alcoholic persons or
problem drinkers. It does mean
that there is a substantial number
of young people who give very little
thought to what their alcohol use
can mean in terms of alcoholrelated
disruptions and costs.
"With the Campus Alcohol
Project, we are trying to teach
students to be concerned and pay
attention to what haDDens during
the college experience.''

PARROTT SAID the project
does not view alcohol as good or
bad. Rather, it attempts to teach
responsible ways to deal with the
use or non-use of alcohol. "Alcohol

Although alcohol is definitely
the most abused drug on campus,
the most dangerwous use is the
mixing of alcohol and drugs, according
to Michael T. Taylor,
assistant to the dean of pharmacy.

Taylor said.
According to research Taylor did
in cojunction with the Campus
Alcohol Project, mixing alcohol
and drugs can multiply, the effect
normally expected from either the
drug or alcohol alone.
"When drugs are forced to
compete with alcohol for
processing by the body, alcohol is
matabolized first, while the other
drug remains active in the blood
for a longer time. As a result, the
drug's effect is intensified,"
Taylor said. The normal

alcohol alone is multiplied on the
central nervous system and can
result in total reduction of vital
body functions.
"WITH THE combination of two
depressants, such as quaaludes
ana Deer, tne ooay Decomes
suppressed and death may result,"
Taylor said. Another danger of
mixing alcohol and drugs is that
heavy drinkers may take even
larger doses of drugs during
periods of sobriety because the
drugs are broken down more
rapidly without the presence of
alcohol in their systems, Taylor
said. Prescribed quantities will
seen to have little effect.
Taylor co-teaches a drug
education course with Gerald
Costello of the College of Health
Education. The course is slanted
toward students and deals with
drugs of abuse, alternatives to
drug use and drug policies in
schools.
"I TKY to stay in contact with
SLED as to the price of drugs,
which drugs are the most popular
on the black market and what
drugs are being sold as," Taylor
said. "It's definitely a buyer
beware market. You always rpn
- the risk of getting something bad.
For example, when buying cocaine
you usually only get 10 to 20 percent
cocaine per gram and it sells
for $75 to $100 a gram," Taylor
said.
Taylor pointed out that the use of
speed and quaaludes has also
risen. "A lot of the speed now on
campus is actually weight
reducing aids being sold at $1.50 a
capsule. Most of these contain
caffeine and maybe an antihistamine,
but are made to look
like the counterpart of real amphetamines
and so people buy

Quaaludes are also subject to
being faked and counterfeited.
"Most of the quaaludes contain
Benadryl in them which is a drying
aeont found in allergy pills,"
Taylor said.
Reports on the use of marijuana
contradict each other all the time,
and there is definitely a need foi
several more years of research,
Taylor said.
"I think pot has become socially
accepted in the last decade. In
fact, there is a bill in the state to
allow pot to be used for medical
purposes. In a limited number of
cases, it is useful in the treatment
of chemotherapy patients with

The project also has started a p
support group for students with - j
alcoholic parents and a student L |
group call Bacchus. Bacchus is an Pjj
approved, chartered organization r]
ODen to anv student who wants to i-1
join. The first meeting will be
today at 5 p.m. in the lobby of
Residential Life.
Bacchus' purpose is to teach c
responsible drinking by sponsoring
model parties and training
students to make decisions that are
right for them. "There exists a
lack of definition of what's right ;
and wrong concerning the use of
alcohol. With Bacchus, we hope to
provide some guidelines for
students on the use or non-use of
alcohol," Farrott said.
