Pushers Lace Some Drugs
Dope Bears False Labels
By JERRY ESSLINGER Kansan Staff Writer
Drugs available or sold locally as LSD, cocaine, marijuana, marjahana, harbitalkets or methylenedioxymetamine (MDA) are usually what they are allowed to be.
Other drugs, such as mescaline,
pilecibin or tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)
often contain none of the alleged
substances.
These are some of the findings of a drug analysis program conducted by Headquarters, an, crisis referral switchboard and walk-in facility at 1628 Kentucky
More than 350 drug samples have been analyzed since the program was begun in August 1970, and in more than half of those samples no evidence for the alleged ingredients have been found.
Callers who suspect that an unusually deceptive or dangerous drug is on the streets and doctors who treat patients for "bad trips" also use information from analysis results, according to Rick Silber, Headquarters director.
Siber said that the analysis program had been fairly successful in making drug users more aware of what they were doing and how to do it. He said the balance on information from drug analyses.
Drug samples are submitted to Headquarters either in person or by mail at a rate of five or six each week and are used for University medical chemistry laboratory.
Although the samples—usually one dosage, pill or "tab"—are not returned, results of analyses are posted on a chart at centers and can be obtained by phone.
Most samples are simply given an identification of their contents, he said, but when a sample contains what is apparently an especially deceptive or harmful drug or

compound, a more detailed description is reported.
According to Schulz, there has been an increasing preference for the softer and 'less electric' psychedic drugs, and analyses indicate that these are the drugs which most often do not contain their alleged ingredients.
Schulz that drugs alleged to be mescaline or psilocybin invariably have been found to contain LSD, either alone or laced with PCP, an animal tranquilizer.
'Misinformation and ignorance has always been a basic problem with drugs. By dispensing accurate information we try to enable persons to make wiser decisions . . . '
Eighteen samples of drugs sold as THC have been analyzed since the program's inception and all have contained various amounts of PCP.
Qualities of PCP, when taken with other psycheled drugs, include a danger of long-term build-up in the body and unpredictable effects Schulz said.
Findings since January of this year include:
—Of 23 samples required to be mescaline,
none contained a trace of the drug.
Six contain a variety of
qualities and unknown substances.
Six contained LSD laced with PCP.
—All of 21 samples alleged to be LSD
entailed LSD and alleged to be
- Of 11 samples alleged to be MDA, all contained only MDA.
— Of eight samples alleged to be "speeel"
— no psychisched ampathetinen, seven
— no psychisched ampathetinen, seven
contained none of it.
—Of seven samples alleged to be THC, not one contained even some of the drug and all were poisonous.
Of—one samples alleged to be marijuana or hashish, five contained only marijuana or hashish. Two contained some marijuana but cocaine none of the alleged hallucinogen.
—Of five alleged palliochin samples, one contained only palliochin, one contained LSD and PCP and three contained LSD with unidentified substances.
—Of two samples alleged to be cocaine, both contained only cocaine.
Of four samples alleged to be barburtines, all contained barburtines as the only evidence.
ANTHROPOLOGY BUFFS
Come to a panel discussion with anthrology professors on:
Schulz said he thought the samples were fairly representative of street sales.
“It’s hard to say exactly how representative they are, but probably we do get at least one sample from most of the drug shipments that hit town,” he said.
Of three alleged heroin samples from earlier analysis, one contained heroin, one was unidentifiable and one consisted of opium. None contained methadone.
No samples alleged to be peyote, Hawaiian Woodrose or heroin have been received for analysis this year, but a few samples from the drugs were analyzed before this year.
Two peyote samples contained only peye and of five alleged Hawaiian Woodoose samples, four contained only LSD and one contained LSD and PCP.

enrollment. Students can purchase the policy for coverage for second semester and the summer session at enrollment in January, he said.
The single student rate for second semester and summer school is $42.63; two students who have a coverage ends Aug. 20, 1973, on all policies purchased for the whole year or for only a semester. If a student withdraws from summer school, of coverage will be refunded, Ward said.
ALLEN SAID one provision the Student Senate had requested in the health insurance plan last April was for coverage for all students who were included in the policy would have been birth control pills and diaphragms. She said the Blue Cross representatives in Lawrence did the Blue Crest contraceptive clause, as did the Blue Crest Blue Shield Board of Directors in Topeka.
She said complications arose when the State Insurance Department, which must approve all insurance policies, rejected the policy containing the contraceptive clause.
Some students were caught off guard when the clause was removed. Even the original policy brochure included the contraceptive clause.
Sellen said the contraceptive coverage clause had to be deleted for the policy to be approved. He said if the Student Senate wanted to include the contraceptive clause in its policy for the 1978/74 school year, the government would probably approve the policy. Sellen said the additional coverage would cost a few cents more.
"WE ARE IN an era of preventive medicine now," Sellen said. "I think the Insurance Department will reconsider its rejection of the contraceptive clause and okay it for next year because contraceptives are preventive medicine."
Sellen said KU was the only university in Kansas and the only school in the nation that has covered Blue Cross-Blue Shield. Blue College students at 49 Kansas colleges and colleges
universities.
Allen said she was sure the Student Senate would want to include the contraceptive clause in coverage in next year's policy.
Dr. Schwiegler said the student Blue Cross policy was "an excellent deal" but not as good for a student with a family as for the single student. He agreed with Sellen that students should read their policies carefully to know what benefits they included.
