Availability of Cocaine 'Extensive' Local Drug Counselors Report Cocaine Use Increase
By JAY CURTIS
Kansas Staff Writer
Lawrence drug counselors say they see the abuse of cocaine rising among local drug users. This expanding market for cocaine may account for the discovery of an estimated $8,000 quantity by Kansas drug agents in a Lawrence raid Thursday.
"Cocaine seems to be much more available than it used to be," said Robby Hussain, a telephone volunteer for the Headquarters drug counseling and personal crisis center. She characterized local use of the narcotic as "extensive."
Dr. Margret Haggen, head of the methane treatment clinic at Watkins Hospital, said that cacao "seems to be the drug of choice right now" among local drug
users.
Methadone, a sympathetic narcotic, is used by the Watkins clinic to wan hein addicts
Haggen said that currently only person was receiving methadone treatment at the clinic for heroin addiction and attributed this to a decline in popularity of heroin.
"Heroin is currently not the 'in drug,'"
"she said. "Cocaine is, and it is expensive." She said that the general drug problem two or three years ago at the University.
Although cocaine use may be increasing in Lawrence, it is still not used as extensively as other drugs, according to Hussain.
"We've been seeing a lot of bad trippers
She said that abuse of other drugs, such as LSD, marijuana and amphetamine, was increasing in Lawrence among youths of junior high school age. She said that the high price of cocaine might have made it harder for the younger drug users to acquire
(persons suffering individual crisis after use of nausea-alcohol drugs)," said Hussain.
"Whether or not it is adductive depends upon who you are and what the drug may be."
Some drug users have alleged that cocaine was not physically addictive when it is ingested through the nostrils, or "snorted."
Explain needed for that for some individuals, cocaine is highly addictive psychologically and psychologically.
She said that cocaine often "produced a really bad low" when its euphoric effects were felt.
Suspected Drug Dealers' Hearings Set
Another drug counselor at Headquarters, Lester Barnes, said that heroin use in Lawrence was no longer a problem but that the drug had remained as great a problem as ever.
He said that a danger of psychedelics like LSD was that they could be cut with strychnine or could contain large quantities of amphiprene.
physically addictive regardless of how it is taken.
Youthful alcoholism also seems to be a growing problem, according to Hussain. She said that Headquarters had also been dealing with more non-drug problems, such as pregnancy, suicide and emotional crisis, than it had dealt with previously.
In small doses, strychnine is a stimulant, but in larger doses it can be a deadly poison.

Preliminary hearings have been set for seven of the eight persons arrested last week in connection with a $ 6,000 cocaine sale, described by Atty. Gen. Vern Miller as the largest drug purchase in the state's history.
Reductions in a revised budget request by the Kansas Board of Regents last week will give the University of Kansas Medical Center the approval it previously requested for the 1974-75 budget.
The Medical Center originally asked that its 1974-75 budget be increased by $6.74 million over the budget for the current fiscal year. Then the center submitted a revised request Thursday asking for an increase of only $6.43 million.
Persons with drug problems can seek help at the KU methdone clinic or at Headquarters without fear of being arrested or charged with drug offenses.
Culminating a two-month investigation by Kansas Bureau of Investigation agents were the raids which included the arrest of University of Kansas football player Dennis Glen Lantz, and scheduled as a starter for cornerback, and two former KU students.
"The board further reduced that figure to $132,840 and forwarded, executive officers," the Board of Review noted.
Local, county and state enforcement officials participated equally in the raids, according to Douglas County Sheriff Rex Johnson, although KBI agents made the contacts and purchased the $6,000 worth of cocaine.
IMMEDIATE ARREST of three persons followed the sale conducted at $35 Michigan, although it forced the disclosure of the identity of the narcotics agents, said Gary Porter, state supervisor in charge of narcotics investigation.
According to Dr. William Rieke, vice chancellor of health affairs for the Medical Center, the rate of expansion of the center's facilities would be suitable for a revision of the center's budget.
"It was such a large buy we couldn't turn it down." Porter said.
Further investigation will continue in Lawrence, he said, with future arrests probed.
No more warrants have been issued,
behind said Douglas County Atty. David
Beckovitz.
Rieke said that $2.03 million of the revised
$4.85 million budget request was for expor-
sions.
"We're not condemning drugs as a whole," said Barries. "We're merely trying to stop them."
THE RAIDS began about 7 p.m. Wednesday with the arrest of the three persons directly involved in the cocaine sale at 835 Mich.
The grand finale of the campers' summer session will be an exhibit in the gallery of the Kansas Union. On display will be the outstanding work in painting, cartoon art, sculpture and design. In addition, there will be paint pottery, weaving and sculpture on display.
Two more persons were arrested approximately 30 minutes later at 2014 Oxford University Hospital.
"It a matter of how rapidly we need to tool up for the new facilities," he said. What I don't want to happen is to have the facilities ready and no one to staff them."
Final arrests, made at 3:30 p.m., Thursday were of two other persons linked to the attack.
Those arrested are:
KU DEFENSIVE halfback Dennis Glen Lantz, 20, of Jayhawker Towers Apts, and Atlantic, Iowa, charged with two counts sale of coccine. Bond was set at $7.500.
Jacobson said that the Union was the only safe place for such a show. He said that in that case, he used Murphy Hall but trouble arose at *d* jewelry or pottery would disappear.

Headquarters Hands Over Drugs

Kansan Staff Writes:
Headquarters officials delivered 400 samples of drugs to attorney General Vernil Miller's office last Wednesday. These were returned Monday, 19th-Evie Ukefer said. Sunday, Ukefer is the director of Headquarters, a Lawrence drug treatment center.
"Non-research" meant all drug samples accumulated by Headquarters, according to James McChessen, associate professor of Pharmacy in the School of Pharmacy at KU.
Action started Tuesday when Headquarters officials and officials at the University of Kansas were told by Miller to cease analysis of drug samples and to deliver all "non-research" drug samples to his office.
MCHESNEY SAID that the University of Kansas was funded by the Governor's Committee on Criminal Administration to develop methods of drug analysis for law enforcement agencies such as the Kansas Bureau of Investigation.
In addition to its work for the Governor's Commission, KU's department of medicinal chemistry has analyzed drug samples for Headquarters.

KU Law Prof Appointed To Investigating Committee
Paul Wilson, professor of law at the University of Kansas and former assistant attorney general of Kansas, has been appointed to lead investigations into rumors, innuendos, allegations and implications surrounding Kansas State Penitentiary Warden Raymond Gaffney and his ability to serve as warden$,^a accusation against the Institutional Directors Robert Woodson.
Woodson announced the composition of the three-member commission Friday.
Woodson recently suspended Gaffney after the warden was mentioned by a federal grand jury at Kansas City, Kan. In addition to his arrest of a Kansas City, Kan., police officer,
Wilson, a Republican, was assistant attorney general of Kansas from 1951 to 1957. Since 1953, he has worked on revisions of criminal law in Kansas. His efforts are the first major attempts at reform of the state law. Since Kansas achieved statehood in 1861.
A KU faculty member for 16 years, Wilson received his B.A. and M.A. degrees in political science from KU. He received a degree from Washburn University in Topeka.
Wilson is the first Kane professor of law at KU.
The two other members of the 3-man investigatory commission are Dr. Karl Menninger, internationally known psychiatrist and authority on penology and
Donald Black, editor of the Leavenworth Times.
Woodson has indicated complete faith in the impartiality of the commission he appoints.

Although Republicans have renewed their demand that Democratic Gov. Robert Docking take over the investigation, it was clear that Mr. Obama is at present for the governor to get involved.
drugs from individuals for the purpose of analysis is a clear cut violation of the Kansas laws forbidding possession of dangerous drugs." Miller said last week.
Max Bickford
Since the beginning, the program has been open and above board. McChessen said. He added that, though all sample donors had been kept anonymous, analysis results had been regularly sent to local officials and officers of the University.
CONSEQUENTLY, Headquarters has had to suspend its program of analyzing drug samples turned in by individuals. This part of the Headquarters program was run by the University of Buford Watson, city manager of Lawrence. It was organized in July 1970.
McChesney, Unkefer and Silic Ruber, former director of Headquarters, see the citation. A study drug analysis program as being "wanted against lethal blackmarket drugs in the Lawrence community." Additional purity citations they cited in a July 12 news release are:
1) TO DISCOURAGE unwitting drug usage by demonstrating unquefectively that many street drugs sold locally were mispresented, and the drugs being purchased did not what the user would choose to take if he knew the actual contents beforehand.
2) To alert local agencies and concerned individuals to the nature of the prevailing drug usage and any expected social or criminal drug problems.
3) To allow rational medical treatment of adverse drug reactions, overdoses, etc. by providing hospitals with data on the composition of implicated drugs.
4) TO ALLOW drug education to be relevant to the drug usage actually occur
5) To identify and perhaps dispel certain drug myths.
6) To establish communication and
community, and
bridge the communication
and bridge the credibility.
Aside from the fact that Miller thinks this drug analysis program is illegal, he is also concerned that it might provide service to pushers, according to a press release. Each drug sample Headquarters used to handle was given a number, so it would be possible for potential purchasers of a drug packet to inquire about a specific sample.

OSU Prof Picked as Dykes Intern

The internship program was designed to help institutions identify faculty and staff members who showed potential for employment. Interns must then to select a career in administration.
An internship similar to the one Chancellor Archie Dykes participated in seven years ago will begin for James Appleberry at KU in August.
The University of Kansas has been chosen by the American Council on Education to serve as a training ground for Appleberry, a nonprofit, non-profit, non-profit, administrative integration Program.
Dykes participated in the program in 1966-67 at the University of Illinois. He said that KU was honored to be chosen as a host institution for the internship program.
The American Council on Education,
Davis said, has always been highly
selective on college.
THE PROGRAM was also created to help individuals prepare for a career in administration.
James Appleberry, associate professor of educational administration at Oklahoma State University, was chosen by the American Council on Education to spend his internship at KU. Appleberry will arrive in Lawrence in August.
DYKES SAID THAT Appleberry's study would be determined by three factors. First of all, Appleberry's own interests would be assessed. Second of the arms he would study. Dykes said.
APPLEBERRY WOULD spend some time working with the central administration group at KU, Dykes said, but he would work with other departments on campus.
ministrative groups that could provide him with the experience he would need if he had to deal with a crisis.
The third factor involved in planning a program of study is KU, the host institution. Charcellier Dykes said that he too would have to be a part of the effort he thought might be helpful to Angleberry.
addition to working with the president's office.
While he was at the University of Illinois participating in the internship, Dykes said, "I worked at the department of chemistry, the department of chemistry and the secretary to the treasury's office in

Dykes wrote a paper on faculty participation and decision-making during his internship. It was published by the American Council on Education.
DYKES SAID HE thought that Appleberry would want to become acquainted with all aspects of KU, including student and faculty life.
Appleberry, a native of Waverley, Mo., received his bachelor's, master's and specialist degrees in education from Central Missouri State College. He pursued his degree at Kentucky University 1977 and received his doctor of education degree at Oklahoma State University in 1969.

She also said that several Lawrence attorneys have volunteered to help Headquarters find a legal way of analyzing drug samples. Headquarters hopes to be providing drug analysis service by the fall semester, she said.
A log showing types of phone calls helps to put this whole matter in perspective, for the drug analysis program is only a small part of the Headquarters program. In the period of January through March 1973, headquarter employees made 167 calls a month. Of the number, 139 were drug related. Of the 138, only 65 were made in connection with drug analysis.
Bickford confirmed that the board's added reductions were principally for the requested facilities and staff expansion. He noted that some specific reductions for other budget requests.
expansion program would be drawn out over a three-year period. It has therefore been necessary to determine how quickly new staff positions should be added to the center's payroll and then figure an expanded payroll into the yearly budget.
The medical center requested increases of $2.03 million for salaries; $754,548 for other operating expenditures; $1.67 million for the base program.
"I thought that the board gave us a fair hearing on this matter," he said. "I had been led by your judge." and said Rieke.
The $4.9 million increase in the Medical Center's budget, if approved by the state budget division, would give the Medical Center the highest increase of general revenue funds for any state-supported school.
The $500,000 cut from the Medical Center's revised budget request of $4.53 million was taken from a $901,467 item for improvement of the base program.
Don Green, assistant professor of human development and family life, was named chairman of the advisory board for the board's second meeting last week.
Green Named Chairman Of Minority Office Board
Former Chancellor Raymond Nichols announced the creation of the board in the second week of June. He said then that the purpose of the board would be to review the goals and activities of the office and to find ways to improve its effectiveness.
In last week's meeting, Green asked Brenda Vann, acting director of the office, to present a definitive statement of the office's goals, objectives and purposes.
Green also asked Sam Adams, associate professor of journalism, to prepare a policy document on communication between the office and the University community, and between the office and the media news, according to Hobart Jackson, assistant
professor and architecture and urban design,
who is also the board's recording secretary;
who is also the board's recording secretary.
Other discussion concerned possible funding sources for the office, the training staff, and other various professional schools on campus and a general review of the objectives and programs of the office.
The next meeting will probably be sometime in early September, although the advisory board may be called to a meeting by the chairman at any time. Jackson said that the reason for the amount of time needed is that members might not be on campus during August, and that it was difficult to find a time when all of the members were free.
The board is composed of four vice chancellors, four faculty members, four students, two classified employees and one ex officio member.
