Drug Abuse Council revived after hiatus
The Douglas County Drug Abuse Council is alive again.
Fifteen persons, most representing local private and governmental organizations, met in the Douglas County Courthouse last summer. As part of a council, which disbanded last summer,
Randy Schering, planning coordinator,
said that he had written letters to 24 persons
The council voted to appropriate $79 to purchase a library of books and periodicals to be used as reference material for future funding applications.
The council, Schwering said, now has a $9,600 federal planning grant from the Department of Transportation Services (SRS), and local funds of $1,585 in cash and $1,832 worth of services offered as office supplies. The SRS also has an annual $12,000 for program implementation, he said.
HOWEVER, SCHWERING said that there was a possibility that the funding could run out by the end of this fiscal year. In other business, the council approved Schwering's offer to begin compiling a bibliography of drug abuse literature in hopes of starting a reference center at the Lawrence Public Library.
No funds were appropriated for the project, pending examination of material
already available in Lawrence and University of Kansas libraries.
Schering distributed a list of 15 possible activities that the council could undertake this year. He said that they were merely suggestions, which he had compiled from his own research and the committee reports of the former council.
ne Council would also investigate additional funding sources, compile a list of relevant speakers, have role-playing sessions to acquaint council members with the behavior of such people as drug addicts and law enforcement personnel, organize a methadone clinic, establish a facility for unknown substance analysis, review a film on addiction, conduct a number of statements on problems related to drug abuse, publish a monthly bulletin for law enforcement personnel, and conduct an incarceration counseling program.
THEY WERE: COMPILE an intake-referral directory that would list the different resource personnel within the county; establish a course for credit at KU dealing with drug abuse causes and treatment modalities; plan small seminars on drug abuse issues in educational persons; and offer assistance to other agencies in grant-mentored writing.
The funding library and the reference material bibliography were included in the catalog.
The little red building at the corner of 23rd and Iowa streets is no longer a schoolhouse.
The building was purchased from the Lawrence school board on Sert. 20, 1960, by the Kansas University Endowment Association. Since that time it has been known as "the beehouse," according to the book, associate professor of entomology.

Certain changes were necessary to convert a schoolhouse to a beehouse. The president of the school said yesterday that the basement rooms had been adapted to the study of bees by maintaining a constant room temperature, and simulating the light of a Kansas
BELL SAID WORK AT the beehouse is a main activity of the research department of ontology. During the summer, when the subjects are plentiful, about 12 students are involved in the program, Michener said. During the winter, there are only a few
Michael Breed, Lawrence graduate student *ad* very few escapes existed from the bees. He said that even if a bee escapes, it is not dangerous to the area.
The foraging patterns of bees, evolution of bees and taxonomy of bees are a few of the experiments being conducted, according to Lichtenstein, Utica, New York, graduate student.
"We're involved with hard-core biological research," James Trager, Lawrence
It's going to take more credit hours and a higher grade point average for a woman to graduate.
The Panhellenic membership program council has charged the 2.00 grade point average requirement to 2.2, and a woman interested in joining a sorority must have at least 14 hours of class credit now, instead of the 12 hours.
"Looking at the overall GPA, a 2.2 is unreasonable," Parm Horne, assistant dean of women and Panhellenic adviser, said yesterday.
Sororities raise rush standards

"We did statistics on last January's rush and people who had between a 2.00 and a 2.20 not pledge in any great percentage," said Horne.
Jan Corbett, former Panhellenic membership program chairman, said, "With a large number of people going through rush, it is something the houses do consider."
Horne said that the sororites realized that the second semester will be more demanding than the first for girls who pledged, because they would have demands on their time from their sorority as well as academic ones.

women who aren't taking 14 credit hours. Phyllis Robertson, Panhellenic membership program chairman, said, "We did this to be fair to all the girls."
Four separate advertisements were placed in the Kansan explaining the new requirements. Panhellenic also sent letters about the changes to all freshmen women. They also sent letters to all women about the changes early in the semester so they wouldn't drop classes and would be encouraged to keep their grades up.
"And a girl might try to petition, saying that she started out with 15 hours but had to drop a course she couldn't handle, and then she went home with her class for the 14 hours requirement." Robertson said.
Horse said Panhellenic was receiving three or four calls a week about the new requirements, and most of the calls were about whether exceptions would be made.
Karen Kemney, Kansas City, Kan., freshman, said she was aware of the changes when she dropped a class that was too difficult for her.
BREED SAID plans were now being considered to move the bees and researchers to a new location next to the biological research center on west campus.
but I wish I'd taken easier classes," said Schweiker.
"But I want to go through rush, so I'm going to try to get in a gym class for two more hours," she said. "That way I'll have 14 hours."

creepers she had enough hours to go
through rush.
Erin Scanlon, Overland Park freshman,
had wanted to participate in the program
but cannot because she had to drop a
mathematics course.
The future of the present building is uncertain. Allon Thomas, an associate professor of architecture and urban design, said he expects that new construction will be temporary and will someday be removed.
"I heard all kinds of different stories about the new requirements. Then I got a job."
'I think the requirements are reasonable,
after I dropped my math class," said Scanlon.

Pannellinie membership council is calling for new meetings during the next weeks.
"These meetings will make the girls aware of what sororities are all about and to familiarize them with all the processes involved," Robertson said.
