Mail brings drug test results
By JANE ZACHMAN
Drug testing has gone mail order.
Staff writer
Drug testing has gone mail order. By the end next month, Kansas consumers will be able to buy a drug testing kit over-the-counter in drug stores. They'll have to mail the kit back to a lab for results, but the test can be administered in the privacy of the home.
American Drug Screens of Dallas developed the Aware kits, which consist of a plastic specimen bottle, a mailing label and directions. They will cost about $25
"Recently, people have been asking us for personal drug testing kits," Jim Erwin, spokesman for American Drug Screens, said Monday.
"The rise in drug use by teen-agers has parents concerned. We hope that the Aware drug testing kits will help to relieve some of the anxieties parents have about their children's use of drugs." Erwin said.
After a sample has been collected, the American Institute for Drug Detection in Rosemont, Ill., will analyze it. The cost is included in the price of the kit.
The samples are tested for traces of drugs including cocaine, amphetamines, marijuana, barbiturates and tranquilizers.
Although the tests are meant to help parents, Bruce Beal, director of the Douglas County Citizens Committee on Alcohol and Drug Abuse, said he thought drug testing conducted by parents might have a harmful effect on the family.
Beal said, "If parents start using it, a child may see it as 'you don't trust me' and not want anything to do with his or her family.
"In a business setting, the test has value because our jobs are important to us, but I don't know how much the tests will have in a family situation. We hope it is a step in the right direction."
Mike Browning, superintendent of student services at Lawrence High School, said, "I think students would appreciate their parents' concern.
Students wary of KC rapist
By PATRICIA FEENY
KU students are taking precautions when they head toward the Westport area of Kansas City, Mo., because of a series of sexual assaults that have occurred there.
Staff writer
Police say a man, who has been dubbed the Westport Rapist, has stalked and raped 15 women in the area since October.
"Personally, I got scared when I first heard about it," said Heather McLeroy, Overland Park senior. "You always think that it could never happen to you."
Missy Carico, Overland Park
junior, said she was in the habit of parking in a well-lit area close to the place she was going to.
"We always go out in groups and have male friends walk us to our cars." Carico said.
Though initially these women were frightened by the reports, they said they were not planning to stop visiting Westport.
Kathryn Gilbert, Tula, Okla., senior, said she and her friends were taking precautions by locking their car doors and staying in groups.
"I'm just surprised that he hasn't been caught yet. It is an
isolated area," said Gilbert.
Though the incidents have occurred only in the Westport area, the Rape Victim Support Services in Lawrence has received calls about the incidents.
Ellie LeCompte, agency director, said police were advising women to radically vary their habits because of the rapist.
"He watches a long time in advance. He usually goes through windows in the early morning hours when he knows victims are at home," said LeCompte.

Burning the midnight oil may be necessary.
Burning the 2:00 or 3:00 or 4:00 AM oil is absurd.
Especially when an HP calculator can get the answers you want—in time to get a good night's sleep.
For instance, our HP-15C Professional Scientific Calculator has more built-in advanced math and statistical power than any other calculator. Our HP-41 Advanced Scientific Calculators have even more potential.
There's even a special plug-in software package (we call it the Advantage Module) that's designed to handle the specific problems an engineering student has to solve in his, or her, course work.
That's because there are better than 2500 software packages available for them — more than for any other calculator.
No wonder professionals in engineering and the physical sciences widely regard HP calculators as the best you can get.
So check one out. Then, when your mother calls to ask if you're getting enough sleep, you won't have to lie.
