The 1969-70 project for the League is to purchase risers and stage props for the College Theater in the basement of the Wiles Chapel, according to Mrs, Paysinger. drug use and abuse discussed at college In explaining the effects of the three basic classes of drugs, a University of South Carolina pharmaceutical team used four white laboratory rats to illus trate the characteristic symp toms produced by various drugs to the October 16 assembly at Newberry College. Dr. Robert Lewis Beamer, as sociate professor of medical chemistry at USC, and three pharmacy students, Elbert Hor ton of Greenville, Terry Nether- ton of Startex and Gun Saw yer of Langley, composed the four-man team. “The main drug abuse pro blems occur on college and uni versity campuses,” Horton de clared. He added that the pro blem is spreading to high school and even grammar school stu dents. Drugs can be classified as narcotics and barbituates or depressants (opium, morphine and heroin), amphetamines or stimulants (pep pills) and the hallucinogens (LSD and mari juana) Horton told the New berry College students and fac ulty. As these categories were dis cussed, one experimental rat was injected with a barbiturate, another with an amphetamine, a third was given a cotton ball soaked in a glue solvent tou- lene. The fourth rat, used as the control factor, was not giv en any drug. Before the assembly ended, the rat injected with barbitur ate was lying on its back, pant ing rapidly, apparently in a deep sleep. The hair of the rat given an amphetamine was standing on end, and he was extremely nervous. The rat with the glue-soaked cotton ball was nervous walk ing constantly around his glass cage while the control rat sat calmly. Netherton explained tnat nar cotics and barbiturates can pro duce two kinds of dependence: psychological, the enslavement of the mind to the drug, and physical, the need of the body cells for the drug. Discussing glue sniffing, Ne therton said that the extended inhaling of toulene can decrase the number of red and white blood cells and destroy brain cells. Sawyer discussed some of the properties of amphetamines. These drugs, such as “pep pills”, give a feeling of alert ness and self-confidence while in reality they can cause toxic reactions and an increasing de pendency on the drug. They can make the users nervous, edgy and jittery, he claimed, and can cause hallucinations, withdraw al and suicidal tendencies. Horton explained the last of the drug classifications: hallu cinogens such as marijuana and LSD. Although marijuana is not narcotic and not addictive, he explained its use may lead to narcotic addiction. He also add ed that the possession of mari juana is a felony. While marijuana is an old drug, its use has been known for 5,000 years, LSD is rela tively new. A synthetic drug, it was first produced in the lab oratory in 1938. He said that LSD causes hall ucinations, strong opposing sim ultaneous emotions and that some of its effects can continue even months after it was first taken. He pointed out that many geneticists strongly be lieve that LSD can cause chro- mosone damage and mental ill ness and that those who are us ing the drugs may be damaging future generations. The four have been inform ing the public about "‘Drug Use and Abuse” for the past year on television programs and to high school and college aud iences.
