Signs that you may have been drugged:
* If you feel a lot more intoxicated than your usual response to the amount of alcohol you consumed...
* If you wake up feeling very hung over, feeling "fuxzy", and can't account for a period of time...
* If you remember taking a drink, but cannot recall what happened for a period of time after you consumed the drink...
* If you feel as though someone had sex with you, but you can't remember any or all of the incident
You're at a party, a club, or a social event. You're with people you know, people you think you have no reason to fear. Someone secretly drops a drug like Robynpol or GHB in your drink. When the drug dissolves, it is colorless and orderles. It may also be tasteless. As you consume the drink, the drug takes effect. You're now in a weakened, helpless, or unconscious state. You're so incapacitated that you can't escape or resist a rapist, or even call out for help. You're sexually assaulted. When the drug wears off, you may not remember what happened or who participated because the drug often causes amnesia.
This may sound like an old story — "spiking the punch" or "slipping her a Mickey". What is new is that these drugs are especially dangerous. When combined with alcohol or other drugs, the mixture can be lethal.
Judge bans delay of Proposition 16
NCAA must alter testing requirement
The Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA — A federal judge yesterday denied the NCAA's request to delay enforcement of a court order stopping the use of minimum standardized test scores as an eligibility requirement for freshman athletes.
U. S. District Judge Ronald Buckwatter, who issued the initial ruling last week that struck down Proposition 16, denied the NCAA's request for a stay. The
NCAA had said it needed more time to form new guidelines and to work on appeals.

Immediate enforcement
of Buckwalter's initial ruling could cause chaos among the 302 Division I schools who suddenly would be without a critical recruiting guideline, NCAA counsel David Bruton said in court. The NCAA also said the ruling could affect teams participating in the men's and women's basketball tournaments now going on.
"Because the number of spots available for recruiting and athletic scholarships are limited, the rules of the game are knocked out," Bruton said in court Monday about the end of the minimum test score requirements for freshmen.
Attorneys for the four African- American athletes who filed the suit said the NCAA should adopt a nondiscriminatory eligibility policy rather than fight to delay or overturn the court's decision. The NCAA has said it would appeal regardless of how Buck-

walter ruled on the stay.
The four plaintiffs in the case, all of whom have since graduated or are no longer freshmen in college, maintained they were denied NCAA scholarships or sports eligibility because they did not meet the minimum test score.
Under Proposition 16, the association required freshman athletes to have a high-school diploma and a minimum gradepoint average in 13 core academic courses with the GPA contingent on an indexed, sliding scale with a student's score on either the Scholastic Assessment Test or American College Test.
However, students scoring lower than 820 on the SAT, or 16 on the ACT, could not participate regardless of their other academic credentials.
Buckwalter's ruling on Proposition 16 did not limit the use of standardized tests, which many educators long have said are racially and culturally discriminatory. Its forerunner, Proposition 48, resulted from a tumultuous NCAA convention in 1983 when a group of reform-minded school presidents began pushing for toughened academic requirements.
The NCAA has said the earliest it could establish new guidelines would be October because it first has to consult its member schools before instituting new rules.
