THE ACCEPTION SUCCESS
Drug war includes shades of past
By Bryan Swan Kansan staff writer
Zero tolerance, drug czar and just say no make up the language of today's war on drugs. The phrases are as familiar to most students as speakieses, Al Capone and bootleggers are to the bystanders in a previous drug war.
Felix Moss, professor of anthropology, said U.S. society encouraged illegal drug use by having a legal medical drug for almost every all-
"Any kind of distress caused by too much change, or not enough change, or boredom, is seen as a state people want to get rid of," he said. "They take a drug to relieve this pain."
Moos said people took drugs to experience certain feelings.
"People who take drugs do so for a specific reason — because they want to get high, feel optimistic, because they are poor or whatever," he said. "The line between legal medication and illegal medication is becoming
"We declared a war on drugs in the 1920s," he said, referring to the Prohibition era. "There were 200,000 drug addicts at that time. This was when there still was cocaine in Coca-Cola."
Moos said wars on drugs had been fought before and were usually lost as attitudes changed.
Moss said he did not think the Bush administration's war on drugs was ineffective. However, because society taught people to relieve pain by using drugs, the war's effectiveness would be limited.
Sgt. Schuyler Bailey, KU police spokesman, said the number of campus drug cases compared to theft cases was small.
"I see our tremendous dependence on drugs extended into the war on drugs and vice versa," he said.
"We don't see it a lot, but that doesn't mean it's not there," he said. "What we usually see is marijuana use but from a department point of view we don't get a lot of violations."
Bailey said that although narcotics were discussed during residence hall staff orientation, the staffs were not trained by KU police to identify narcotics. Suspicious activity was usually reported to the police.
A campaign against drug use at the University, however, must operate in a community different from the traditional government's resources and slogans
Jeff Morris, student body vice president, said the Student Senate Drug Awareness Task Force was trying to take a different approach.
He said that the task force members were against drug use but that the group purposely relegated itself to an informative role.
"Instead of saying 'just say no,' we want to give people an opportunity to decide," Morris said. "We thought about how people would react and that they might think, 'What gives them the right to say that?'
toward not doing drugs, tells them they're running a risk not worth running. We hope students will respond better to this and that we'll be able to relate to students better."
"We are trying to take the information we have to the students," he said. "The inforation points them
Morris said that initially the group had considered focusing solely on marjuana use but that such an approach would be unrealistic.
*"Students use all kinds of drugs, including prescription and over-the-counter drugs."*
Cotter Brown, president of the Association of University Residence Halls, said the 4,000 students in the residence hall system would be updated on the task force's progress, but the effectiveness of the information was linked to student interest in floor and hall government.
"Anything going on at our general assembly meeting will be brought up in floor government and then hall government," he said. "Of course, not all the people show up at these meetings, but interest seems pretty good on my floor. I can't complain."
Student will zip to a degree
By Tracy Wilkinson Kansan staff writer
Elizabeth Williams began her studies at the University of Kansas in 1970.
She will graduate this May
Her first class load did not consist of English 101 or Psychology 104, but of more developmental lessons like reading to tie her shoes and zip up her pencil.
Now she is returning the favor.
Williams, Prairie Village senior,
attended the University's on-campus day care program, Educare,
between 1970 and 1972 as a child. Now she works at the center as a student teacher for her practicum for the department of human development and family life.
"It is interesting to see how some students come full circle," said Don Bushell, human development professor.

Williams said she and her family lived in Lawrence from 1968 to 1972.
hey said to stick the carrot in the rabbit's mouth, and then pull its ears up the trail. That's how I learned to zip.'
"My mom was a secretary at the HDFL office, and my dad was in law school," she said. "And I was just

sort of hanging around the campus." Williams said she had vague memories of the program.
"There are sliding glass doors in the Educare room," she said. "I can kind of remember that, and we have little vests and stuff that we use to teach kids how to zip things up and things like that. But that's about it."
Williams said that recently she was able to use one of the memories she had of her own experiences as a child in the day care program to help another child learn how to work a zimmer.
She teaches a child how to zip a zipper by comparing it with feeding a carrot to a rabbit.
"They said to stick the carrot in the rabbit's mouth, and then pull its ears up the trail," she said. "That's how I learned to zip."
Williams said another teacher was having problems explaining to a child how to zip a coat, and she was taught because of the way she was taught.
"After I explained it she just laughed and asked me where I learned that," she said. "I just said, 'I learned它 here.'"
Carolyn Thomson, associate director of admissions, curriculum and advising for the department, said it was interesting for her to see people now when she knew they had been in the program as a child.
"It's like a surprise," she said. "It is interesting to see how a person has developed in the intervening years."
Williams said the main reason she was working with children is to have more care for their children.
Next semester, she said, she hoped to be working at the John Wright Center for Research on the Influences of Television on Children, 515 W. 14th St.
House passes smoking ban
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — A House vote to ban smoking on virtually all domestic airline flights is a step toward further restrictions on the tobacco industry, a cigarette industry opponent said.
The House voted Tuesday to forbid smoking on all routes in the continental United States and on all flights to and from Hawaii and Alaska scheduled for six hours or less.
That would allow smoking on just 28 U.S. flights, 24 to Alaska and Hawaii and four to Guam, of 17,500 the airline says are scheduled daily, said the bill's sponsor, H.R. 310. III. The ban should go into effect 96 days after the measure is signed into law.
"In February or March of next year, airline passengers across America can finally start to breathe a little easier," Durbin said.
