6 Wednesday, September 3, 1986 / University Daily Kansan Regents to study drug abuse By NICOLE SAUZEK Staff writer To try to better understand the increasingly visible national drug problem, the state Board of Regents will analyze drug and alcohol abuse programs at Regents schools, the executive director announced last week. The reports will be presented orally at the next Regents meeting, scheduled for Sept. 18 and 19 at Fort Hays State University. Stanley Z. Kopik, the director, requested Thursday — in a letter to campus chancellors — reports on the drug and alcohol abuse programs at the Regents schools. The Regents schools are the six state universities and the Kansas Technical Institute in Salina. Kopik said he made his request because of the increased attention the national drug problem has received. Drug abuse was in the spotlight this summer when University of Maryland basketball star Len Bias and Cleveland Browns football player Don Rogers died after using cocaine. David Ambler, vice chancellor for student affairs, called Koplik's request a realistic approach to the national drug problem. Ambler will present KU's report to the Regent. "It's useful that the Board of Regents be apprised of what the educational efforts are," Ambler said. "Presently, there is a greater demand for information on drugs than there has been in past years. It's important right now to understand educational programs." The University has several drug abuse programs available to students on campus. The largest programs include Watkins Memorial Hospital's Health Education Program and the Mental Health Clinic at the hospital. Both give information on the effects of drug abuse, while the clinic counsels students on drug and alcohol abuse. in addition, the Student Assistance Center in Strong Hall provides information on other counseling programs. Ambler said he thought the University was doing as much as it possibly could through simple first aid, advising and counseling. "We're not a halfway house — we don't try to be," he said. "We also don't intend to shelter students." If a student overdosed or was hallucinating, he would probably be taken to a mental health facility, he said. Ambler said he anticipated that universities would have more students seeking drug information because of what he called hype over drug abuse. "Students will not seek help if they think there will be police involved." he said. "If all we do is crack heads, we're going to have difficult problems with students on the brink of drug decisions. They're not going to be coming to us if they think there is no confidentiality involved." However, the University administration is not going to try and control drug possession on campus by itself. Ambler said. At some point, law enforcement will become involved, he said. "To believe that we're going to solve the drug problem overnight is unrealistic. Education, though, could be the answer to the problem in the long run." Koplik said the Regents wanted to assess the level of activity at each university from the reports. "We're going to try to determine if we're doing the right thing and enough of the right thing," Kopik said. "We also want to determine how campuses are responding to the growing drug problem — we've got to make sure we're educating students on the dangers of drugs."
