New Mexico Aggie (Newspaper) - February 1, 1972, Las Cruces, New Mexico new mexico Volume 21 I February Alumni Association Housing plans definite date set for August Badly needed student housing on campus came a step closer to reality Jan 12 when the State Finance Board approved the leasing of uni- versity land for construction of an apartment and shopping center complex NMSU will lease 18.7 acres on the north side the Las Cruces pus to the Whittaker Community Development Corp Whittaker plans to have 145 apartment units completed by August 1.972 as the first phase of its program according to Pres See Housing Plans page What would you give for one of this man's tamales right See page eight Even if drug usage is small at NMSU Drug at NMSU is less than half the average reported nationally among universities and colleges But according to a survey of marijuana and drug use on campus the reported conservatism at NMSU does not to any extent minimize the problems confronting NMSU The fall 1971 survey of of 9.100 enrollment also shows that freshmen use all drugs except marijuana more frequently than upperclassmen Two per cent of the students surveyed reported having used narcotics and 30 per cent have smoked Between 5 and 10 per cent of the students reported using amphetamines and less than 5 per cent reported using glue gasoline paint or other volatiles Most students tend to use these drugs irregularly Dr David Sachs assistant of psychology received information from the sO Z W O i 10 tO O dents representing 39 per cent of total enrollment during fall semester registration In a survey of this Sachs said you always have the problem of the reliability of from your sample population Some may respond that they use a drug frequently when in fact they have never used drugs Others may answer that they do not use drugs when they actually do The extremes should tend to average out though especially in a sample as large as this one Hopefully this type of study will continue When the students realize their answers will be anonymous and will the dent services better serve them future surveys will probably give an even more accurate picture Dr Gerald W Thomas president of NMSU said that so many con- estimates of drug use had begun work on a three-pronged approach to the drug continued Thomas The education program will expose students faculty and staff and the com- munity to the extent and nature of the drug problems here The health and rehabilitation program will help individuals overcome the effects of drug use and the university also will maintain its responsibility to enforce state and national laws But our study shows that drug abuse is not only a university Thomas said It is a wide concern we all must work on together There are many who feel drug abuse is our number one social problem because it cuts across all social economic and educational lines It deeply affects our young people at all levels of society and it must be approached with a program throughout New Mexico In the report Sachs said a major component of the current problem is the trend for drug usage to be high among incoming men In this light the greater usage of narcotics is ing and points to a need by the university drug programs Of the 30 per cent of the sample who said they had used marijuana 15 per cent said they smoked it daily 22 per cent weekly and 16 per cent monthly In a national survey of less than students from 60 schools done in 1971 62 per cent of the students reported smoking marijuana Approximately 10 per cent of those responding had used amphetamines Six per cent had used and nine per cent hallucinogenic drugs The majority of the students who had taken these drugs responded that their frequency of use was usually several times per year or less than five times See Drugs page twenty Confrontation on budgets underway New Mexico Governor Bruce King's administration is mending a funding level for state colleges and universities that is to 2 million below the million request submitted by the Board of Educational Finance At a time when university departments are having to fight for every dollar the administration's Department of Finance and Administration and the Legislative Finance Committee are attempting to make recommendations far below the state's BEF request The Department of Finance and Administration requested a budget under the proposal for NMSU the Legislative Finance Committee has called for a cut in the We're hoping the legislature sympathetic to the BEF said Dr Donald C academic vice president at NMSU In response to the King aspirations for a budget below request board man McConnell has said thing below recommendation would jeopardize higher education in the state Roush related The three boards presented their recommendations to the House Appropriations Committee at press time institution presidents of New Mexico were on hand to answer questions at the hearings In the past the legislature has listened to the Board of tional Roush said and we're hoping it does the same this time However if cuts are made it will be across the is each See Confrontation page twenty
