marijuana may remain deiectablc

weeks.
"PCP, amphetamines and barbituates
are all detectable within
reasonable lengths of time," she
said.
/a ai.iiu toxicology report says
cocaine, barbituatcs and amphetamines
may be present in the
specimen for up to 24 hours.
"I believe we have an accurate
testing system," Akcrs said.
When asked about the possibility
of subjects altering samples by
adding other substances to them,
Akcrs said, "I'm sure things can
be done to assure that a urine test
is only urine. Giving specimens
under direct visualization would
be one way."
"If vinegar is present in the
urine, it will test as vinegar, indicating
tacit, implied guilt,"
Wise said. "If samples arc
diluted with water, It shows up as
a diluted sample."
Deron Farina, a sophomore
transfer student and left guard on
USC's football team, said, "I
feel that it'll help the team in the
long run, definitely. Of course,
there are some players on the
team who don't like the idea, but
most of us feel it'll help the
team."
However, Steven Bates, executive
director of the state
American Civil Liberties Union,
disagrees with mass urine testing
on several grounds.
"The idea that what we think is
appropriate is what the law is, is
contrary to everything our Constitution
stands for and is a
fascist concept," he said. "It is
very curious that people who

flag arc unaware of this irony."
In eases where such tests have
been conductcd by government
or school officials, many courts
have ruled the tests to be unconstitutional,
a violation of the
Fourth Amendment protection
against unreasonable searches,
according to Bates.
"Mass urine testing on the
basis that some may be guilty
docs not meet the constitutional
requirement of probable cause,"
he said. "Before you undertake
such testing, you must have an in,

under visual observation. U.S.
Federal District Judge H.
Franklin Waters said, "A noble
purpose will not exonerate one
who acts without any apparent
legal precedent in a search as inherently
invasive as urine analysis
applied in this case."
Bates also objects to the
counseling, if mandatory.
"Submitting a student to
psychological counseling for ingesting
marijuana or drugs implies
that the behavior is antisocial,"
Bates said. "This is
shades of the Soviet Union when
individuals arc considered socially
maladjusted and must conform
to a socially approved manner of
behavior."
Marcum said suspension from
the team for a third positive drug
reading would not affect an
athlete's scholarship, which is a
one-year contract. He did say
that such a suspension could affect
renewal of the next year's
scholarship, but that other factors
would be taken into consideration
also.
"In the future, the drug testing
program will probably be written

part of the athletic program,"
Marcum said.

Two assaults were reported to
have'occurred at McBrydc
tu- r:_.. : 1 1
y uuui un^iL . I lie ill i llivwivcu
two female USC students, and
the police department has a possible
suspect in the case.
The other assault at McBryde
Quad happened to a non-student
at an cast side building. Doth
assaults were reported as simple

reported from the incidents.
The other three assaults were
also reported as simple assaults,
and there was no indication of
possible suspects. All three
