weeks.
Orvel A. Criagu, principal of Senior Junior High, said that a student who had no student was using drugs. However, he said drug use was not a major problem. He said there were two students who they were in the last few years.
"We know things must be going on, but overt incidents are rare," he said. "The unknown concerns us."
Jaimes said that among students the use of drugs was "not so much the thing to do
"If I were the parent of a teenager, "James said, "I would be scared to death because of the availability of drugs."

Student Teachers Claim Drug Use Exaggerated
Eight out of nine student teachers in the district Mission school district said the question of drugs in high schools was an overrated
anymore." He attributed this to the student's awareness of the problems and realities of drug use.
"Only speaking for Shawnee Mission West, I don't think it's a problem. I've talked to teachers twice, and I know they two years ago or last year it was. But kid change. This year kids are clean. They aren't talking about it," said Rita Haugh, a teacher at Shawnee Mission West.
"The one kid who did talk about it in one of my classes said he was a narc and the class laughed at it. I wasn't worried about it," she said.
ONE CLASS PERIOD in her language arts and methods courses, she can differentiate of drugs, their nicotine short and long range effects and symptoms which doctors and psychiatrists use to recognize
Haugh was one of two student teachers who mentioned some kind of drug training in her education curriculum.
Another Shawnee Mission North West student teacher, who wished to remain anonymous, discussed his methods of discussion in his methods class.
He had a different perception of drug abuse in his high school, Shawne Mission. Northwest. What that problem was overrated.
"More kids seem to be trying marijuana once or twice then consistently using it. I've seen students who could be using drugs, but I haven't seen anyone that has been using them. Students are more interested in scoring a six-pack than in weed," he said.
Students are fairly open about talking to either teachers or guidance deans at Shawnee Mission Northwest, he said.
"IF A KID in my class was doing good work and suddenly his work declined, his class parachute flew out of the presence deteriorated and he started cutting classes. I would talk to him about going on." he said.
He said he thought high school administrators should be sure to take care of students around school grounds and that the symptoms of hard drug usage are real.
One Shawnee Mission South student teacher thought that there was a drug problem in high school. She wished to remain anonymous.
"Obviously there is a problem. Over half the students smoke marijuana and there are an awful lot of other drugs available too. They were very bad. I could do in a situation where drugs were a problem," she said.
A SECOND Shawne Mission School student learner, who wished to take a break out of 300 students she saw during the day, two were noticeably on campus on Thursday and out, although she still saw him occasionally outside the school.
She suggested that the reason students don't talk about drugs is because she wasn't familiar with the administration. She said she knew of no teacher at Shawnee Mission South who was close to students to discuss drug problems.
"I know of a lot of teachers who would turn a student in for using computers and first try to work with the kid on his keyboard, calling in parent contact."
or the administration, she said DRASTIC MEASURES by
school administrators to curl
themselves up. The schools would lead only to the disappearance of the symptoms of drug use without stopping it.
The best long range control is to have drug related problems behind drug abuse. Until then, she said, drug related problems be dealt with on a one-to-one basis.
Handling a major drug problem in the classroom was something most of the student had reviewed were unprepared for.
Sara Waris, a student teacher Shawnee mission Ease, said she was one of the first step in seeking help for drug related problems because direct intervention would only students to be救 or withdraw
However, in contrast with her own years in high school when students talked about getting drunk, Drums said today's high school students are avoided talking about their personal experiences with drugs.
Kendall said that the Lawrence schools were ahead of the drug education movement and that it was a 'very difficult' case. Lawrence was a university town.
"I think I could sit down and talk to a student with a drug problem because students have problems that talk about other things," she said.
Out of the nine student teachers, four had had some direct experiences with students in their classroom. These experiences varied from being aware that some学生 could be using drugs to having a学生come to suspect a drug problem with them.
THREE YEARS AGO, LARCE was one of 14 school systems to announce the formation of a Conference on Drug Abuse. After that conference, Lawrence was appointed head of the program.
The Lawrence schools had no special program on drugs. Juvenile detention is integrated into the entire curriculum in all grade kindergarten school.
Margaret Battenfeld Hashinger of La Jolla, Calif., is honored in Hashinger Hall, which was built in 1962.
The study of drugs is looked at
during college and early edu-
cation programs in Lawrence
schools, but drugs are discussed
whenever they are related to any
educational activity.
He said the discussion of drugs became very natural when students asked questions like "What are they asked?" and "What, *No. Ag.* Are they?"
"We talk openly and honestly to students. Once it was thought we should not talk about drugs because it would create use. That
is no longer true." he said.
FACULTY MEMBERS are asking drugs and if they do not know the answer to a particular question, they know where to find it, he
Kendall said that the Lawrence school system had initiated "inservice training programs" after the first Governor's Conference on Drug Abuse that faculty members are about to hear when they talked about drugs.
He said that no special funds were available to finance drug education but the cost had been included in that of normal curriculum change, he said.
"If we had $10,000 we could buy more film strings." Kendall said.
more film strips," Kendall said. Kendall said that if a teacher suspected a student was using drugs, the teacher contacted the school nurse and the school nurse turn in contacted the student's parents.
If the parents do not take care of the problem, the school refers the student to another community agency such as Headquarters or to social services.
Drug use could be indirectly responsible for the suspension or expulsion of a known of no case in which a know of no suspension or expelled for drug use.
