Frank Peirce of the English Department hhs been notified of acceptance of a handbook pub lished by Arco Publishing Com pany of New York. Peirce’s handbook, “Organiza tion and Outlining,” is a refer ence tool for writing carefully organized and developed letters, papers and reports.

Peirce, a senior member of the English Department, sold re print rights on another • story, “The Lonely Ones,” to a British weekly. The story appeared originally in the Ellery Queen magazine and was anthologized in “Ellery Queen’s 20th Anniver sary Annual.” He also has had stories and articles in Playboy, Escapade, The Writer and Writ er’s Digest. Peirce has been an A&M fac- uly member since 1946. Texas’ drug abuse scene increasing at alarming rate AUSTIN <iT) — The state is finally making the drug scene in Texas this year. It may be too little and too late. A Jan. 6 declaration of war on drug abuse was slow coming, and the politicians may not make up for the last legislature’s failure to put up money for a statewide drug education program. “We can’t solve the drug prob lem the first year, or even in five years or maybe an educa tional generation,” a top educa tor said. Gov. Preston Smith, Lt. Gov. Ben Barnes, Speaker Gus Mut- scher and Atty. Gen. Crawford Martin seem to think Texas still has time. Their report to the legislature in June said that although drug abuse is increasing at an “alarm ing rate” and is of “major con cern” in Texas, it “is not of the extent found in some of the other states.” Mutscher has gone as far as to say he fears that a whole gen eration of drug users will be dominating government and so ciety before long. Smith has stated that alcohol — not marijuana, LSD or speed methedrine — is the No. 1 drug abuse problem in Texas. The governor, however, joined with Barnes, Mutscher and Mar tin last January in a “special BATTALION CLASSIFIED WANT AD RATES One day p- 4(‘ per word each additional Minimum charge—76^ Classified Display $1.00 per column inch each insertion DEADLINE 4 p.m. day before publication er word day FOR RENT 8 M projector and films for rent—Aggie Den (next to Loupot’s). 135tfn SPECIAL NOTICE Attention Aggies: Stud; for Chemistry 101, Math 102 at my for mutual benefits.

Main 822-6000 message for those who traffic in drugs — be they casual ‘pushers’ or agents of the most powerful cartel of organized crime: In the name of our young people, in the name of every Texas citizen, in the name of decency and in the name of civilized society, we are going to turn the screws tight on those who traffic in drugs.” Tightening those screws start ed recently with the addition of 25 narcotics agents to the 50 al ready in the Department of Pub lic Safety. But more important may be a statewide drug control program developed by the Texas Educa tion Agency for grades 5 through 12. Although Barnes said he was worried about the haste with which the program had to be set up, the education agency hoped to have 2,000 teachers and 2,000 school administrators trained this September in drug control. The 1969 Legislature gave them the job but did not provide one dime to do it. One educator said lawmakers apparently felt the voters “were worked up about drugs” and the “easiest way to shift the burden” was to put the drug problem in the education agency’s lap. The agency “drew a blank” in its attempts to get money from individuals and private founda tions but finally obtained $333,- 000 in federal funds. Before the agency started on the program, said Rep. Joe Golman of Dallas, the “drug situation in San An tonio was made worse by teach ers giving the wrong information to students.” Barnes said, “We can’t expect a 55-year-old English teacher to memorize a kit and teach this (drug) course effectively . . . but 1 think we can bridge the com munications gap.” Barnes’ mail is running four to one in favor of his recommenda tion to make possession of mari juana a misdemeanor instead of a felony, the latter punishable by from 2 years to life in prison. A committee of medical ex perts urged support of Barnes’ proposal. Young people, the com mittee said, “are not willing to trust us or to take action that will subject themselves to such severe legal penalties. The re sult is that we remain too ignor ant of who uses marijuana and why, and of what it does to, or for them.” An open-door policy was start ed recently at Ft. Hood so drug users amon gthe 36,000 soldiers there would not fear reprisals if they sought clinical help. “Everybody wants to know about marijuana,” says Page Keeton, dean of the University of Roof collapse floods store’s book supply Rain Wednesday proved too much for the roof of Schaffer’s Universtiy Book Store at North Gate, causing the rear portion to collapse, releasing a flood on the book storage area. Herbert Schaffer, owner, said the rain apparently was not flow ing off the roof fast enough and finally broke through. Books in the storage area were drenched, Schaffer said, and only the aid of several A&M student in the store kept the damage from being more than it was. “I really appreciate what those students did,” Schaffer said. “Some of them even missed classes to help out, and I just can’t thank them enough.” Texas Law School and head of a state bar committee studying re visions in the Texas penal code. He said the committee probably will recommend that the penalty for first offense possession of marijuana be “up to 60 days in jail, maybe nothing but a fine.” Barnes says the state “is spending far too little money on enforcement of drug laws” — 6 cents out of the $238 per capita state tax burden. A 400 per cent increase, or 24 cents out of $238, is “not unreasonable,” he says. After a recent tour of drug treatment centers, Barnes said state rehabilitation facilities for those hooked on drugs are virtu ally non-existent, and he blamed state officials. The Criminal Justice Council said it has allocated $376,060 in federal funds for a drug treat ment center at Houston to han dle 300 patients. The governor says he wants Texas’ drug abuse program to be the “best in the nation . . . the most effective . . . the most sensible . . . the most humani tarian.” “We cannot afford to write off this generation,” says Barnes. “And if only 35 per cent of our drug users can be rehabilitated, as some experts claim, that 35 per cent is well worth saving.” PALACE Bryan NOW SHOWING 1:45 - 4:15 - 6:45 - 9:15 “M.A.S.H.” TODAY 1:10-2:50-4:30-6:10-7 :50-9:30 “TROPIC OF CANCER” EXTRA SPECIAL FROLIC SATURDAY NITE 11:45 P.
