Drug arrests rise on campuses
Alcohol-related offenses also increase at colleges
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — For the third consecutive year, drug arrests on American college campuses rose, according to a new survey.
Results from 1994, which were released yesterday by The Chronicle of Higher Education, revealed 6,138 drug violations -23 percent more than in 1993. Drug violations had increased 34 percent in 1993 and 46 percent in 1992.
Alcohol contributed to even more arrests. There were 15,923 liquor-related offenses in 1994, up 5.6 percent from 1993.
Drug arrests are up partly because more private colleges are gaining arresting authority for their campus law enforcement officers, said Douglas F. Tuttle, public safety director at the University of Delaware and president of the International Association of Campus Law Enforcement
Also, increased awareness about drug and alcohol abuse has led to more tips to campus police departments, he said.
Administrators.
"In our case, we're doing more training with the residence hall staffs so they know what to look for — know what the smell (of marijuana) really is," Tuttle said. "I think they realize to a greater extent that drugs and alcohol bring with them other problems.
In its annual survey, *The Chronicle* asked about 850 colleges with more than 5,000 students to submit copies of their campus crime reports, and 831 compiled.
According to the survey, liquor-related offenses at Ohio State University dropped to 99 last year from 154 in 1993.
Ron Michalec, campus police chief at the Columbus, Ohio, institution, attributes the decline to efforts to sponsor non-alcoholic events, such as concerts and "mocktail" parties, that will dissuade students from spending their time on High Street, which runs alongside the campus and has 32 liquor establishments in a quarter-mile section.
A crime survey of 831 colleges by The
Chronicle of Higher Education reported:
19 murders in 1994, compared with 15
in 1993.
Campus Crime
in 1993.
1. 091.5.141.
1,001 forcible sex offenses, up 12 percent from 892.
1,375 robberies, up less than 1 percent from 1993.
3. 049 aggravated assaults, down 3 percent from 3.140.
19,172 burglaries, down 7.4 percent from 20,693.
6,624 auto thefts, down 8.2 percent from 7,219.
The number of weapons violations remained steady at about 1,500.
The survey's statistics are affected by several factors.
Some campuses are closer to metropolitan areas, and all the schools' crime figures reflect arrests of students and staff as well as outsiders.
Clinton and Yeltsin hold summit
Both leaders downplay Communist resurgence
The Associated Press
MOSCOW — With hugs and handshakes, President Clinton and Boris Yeltsin traded warm compliments yesterday, insisting that their election-year summit was not influenced by presidential politics.
"I am sure that I will be victorious," Yeltsin boomed at a Kremlin news conference with Clinton.
Clinton and Yeltsin, who both face re-election battles, would not entertain the possibility of a Communist comeback in Russia.
"That makes my answer irrelevant, doesn't it," Clinton said with a smile.
With Yeltsin under fire for the bloody
fighting in the breakaway republic of Chechnya, Clinton expressed sympathy with Russia's position and compared the situation with the United States' Civil War.
Back home, Clinton has been criticized for not taking a firmer stand about Chechnya
and not insisting that the fighting stop.
Bill Clinton
Clinton said Abraham Lincoln gave his life for the proposition "that no state had a right to withdraw from our union. And so, the United States has taken the position that Chechnya is a part of Russia."
While the presidents met, about 300 Communists protested on Red Square, laying flowers at Lenin's tomb. One of their banners read, "Lenin lives and will be victorious."
It was Clinton's third trip to Moscow in three years and his 10th meeting with Yeltsin. The trip came at a time of doubt about Russia's continued transition from communism to democracy.
Before returning to Washington, Clinton met with Yeltsin's chief political rival, Communist candidate Gennady Zyuganov, who is leading in the polls, and other opposition leaders. Once again, Clinton insisted he was neutral in Russia's elections.
"I spent two days staying out of it," Clinton declared.
Boris Yeltsin
Republicans to propose new budget
WASHINGTON — Republicans girding for an election-year budget battle hope to heal wounds they suffered last year.
The Associated Press
House and Senate leaders agree that the fiscal 1997 budget that Republicans will start writing later this month will look similar to the GOP package Clinton vetoked in December. It will call for lower taxes and claim balance in 2002, relying on savings from Medicare, Medicaid, welfare and domestic programs.
Republicans will propose smaller reductions than they did a year ago, which they hope will undo some of the political damage Clinton inflicted on them by accusing them of recklessly slashing crucial programs. This will be possible because of an improved deficit picture, caused by a stronger economy as well as savings Congress and the states have made in some programs.
But Republicans have enough internal differences on strategy and details that the House and Senate budget committees, which had planned to approve similar packages next week, won't do so until at least next week.
Republicans agree that their goal this year should be to paint themselves as fiscally responsible and Clinton as the opposite.
Senate Budget Committee Chairman Pete Domenici, R-N.M., wants tax cuts separated from budget reductions so Clinton can't argue again that Republicans want to trim benefits for the elderly and poor to pay for tax breaks for the well-off.
The two channels preliminary plans include. $168 billion in savings through 2002 from Medicare and $85 billion from Medicaid, the same as before.
The two chambers' preliminary plans include:
- Senate-proposed welfare savings of $52 billion, compared to House plans for $50 billion to $62 billion.
Tax cuts worth $140 billion suggested by the Senate, $150 billion to $170 billion contemplated by the House.
Spending more than Clinton wants for defense and less for approved domestic programs.
