KU Waits to Aid Addicts
By BOB NORDYKE
Even with a free rehabilitation program for heroin addicts and victims of domestic violence, Watkin's Hospital is still waiting to help its first addict kick the disease.
The program, started this semester at the University of Kansas by Dr. Raymond Schwegler Jr., involves administering a synthetic drug, glucose, as a substitute for heroin.
Schweiger began the program after a pre-Christmas meeting of the staff. The time there was some indication that some heroin addicts in the program were on the verge of death.
"It seemed expedient," said Schweiger. "the number was so small-five or six people. We had to feel things out locally."
Schweger said that if necessary the hospital could treat a limited number of non-students who would have to pay for the cost. The cost would be $2 per day and $30 for a physical examination.
program is under the auspices of the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare.
Schweiger said that methadone doesn't cause the euphoria of heroin and seems to prevent the drug from harming you. He said that because methadone doesn't cause a "high," a person might be able to walk and take care of a family, think
The treatment simply sub-
titulates a controlled dosage man-
ufactured in a laboratory and the addict's appetite for heroin. Theoretically it is then easier to administer because the dose is lower.
Schweigler noted that methadone is not a magical cure-all and its success has been limited.
heroin
"This drug may be the best thing we've found to help these animals, but there is a high recurrence rate and if they go back to the same environment that produced the drug, it's a lot of them," said Schweiger.
The Commission will launch a
philosophical exercise in university academic
affairs, said Larry Rosen,
Topoka senior and chairman of
New Commission to Examine KU's 'Educational Potential'
Examination of the educational system at the University of Kansas is the goal of the newly established On Undergraduate Education
"The University has become so complex," said Rosen, "that we need to initiate a self-inspection of the educational potential."
The seven-member commission students studied last fall, when the last fall, will study, course-taker evaluations, college Intermediate Business the general concept of education at the University of Kansas and several administrative reviews in the University curriculum.
The issues discussed might be
coerciveness and
recoherenceiness of
the curriculum, grading systems and
education requirements. Rosen
The commission was patterned after a similar Brown University study group which last fall found that 70 percent of the 467-page document outlined the merits and shortcomings of university's educational system.
In addition, the commission will conduct its own departmental surveys of faculty and student representatives in each department. After these sources have provided the information required by background information the commission will conduct open communication issues in academic affairs.
