Woman sues
Gera Ido Rivera
for $30 million
HOUSTON (AP) — A woman ar
rested last year during a televised
raid is suing the show’s host, Geraldo
Rivera, for $30 million, claiming he
libeled her by portraying her as a
prostitute and drug dealer.
Terry Rouse, who filed the suit
Wednesday, also claimed Rivera in
vaded her privacy. Earlier, Rouse
had filed a similar lawsuit concern
ing her televised arrest but dropped
it without explanation.
She was arrested by the Harris
County sheriff and other officers on
the Dec. 2, 1985, television special,
“American Vice: The Doping of a
Nation.”
During the show, officers were
shown staging the raid with Rivera
saying, “A pimp and his prostitutes
are supplying truckers with coke and
speed,” according to the first suit she
tiled.
Drug possession charges filed
against Rouse were thrown out by a
judge, but she was rearrested in Jan
uary on three marijuana delivery
charges not related to her televised
arrest.
In August, she was placed on a
year’s deferred adjudication, a type
of probation during which the judge
withholds a finding of guilt and dis
misses the case if the probationer
stays out of trouble.

Study: Corporation drug abuse
may not be as serious as thought
By Connie Johnson
Reporter
Drug abuse in corporate America
may not be as serious as the public
believes, according to a recent study
done by a Texas A&M management
specialist.
Dr. Gerald Ferris conducted the
study last summer with Shannon L.
Ratcliff, an A&M graduate, and Dr.
Marick F. Masters of the University
of Pittsburgh. One thousand mem
bers of the American Society for
Personnel Administration were sur
veyed and about half of the one-
third who responded were women.
Of the respondents, only three
percent said drug abuse was the ma
jor problem in their organization. In
fact, represenatives of more than 80
percent of the firms that responded
did not say drug abuse was a major
problem. Even though employees of
37 percent of the firms considered
drug abuse among the top three
problems, most of the respondents
considered alcoholism, stress and
others of more serious concern than
drug abuse.
Ferris said the study was con
ducted because there was no basis
for making statements that drug
abuse is a major problem in cor
porate organizations.
“We felt that people were in the
position of possibly taking serious
actions without any facts,” Ferris
said. “Most of what exists to date on
drug-testing is opinion.”
Other studies are also being con
ducted to “hopefully yield the same
results” as this study, Ferris said.
Ferris said the message of the
study is not to say if drug-testing is
good or bad but to caution organiza
tions to make a careful diagnosis
based on the situation in their indi
vidual organizations. The “bandwa-
on effect of everybody going out to
evelop a drug-testing program” is
his major concern, Ferris said.
“It has gotten almost blown out of
proportion today because of
statements and polices inacted by the
federal administration,” Ferris said.
“Reagan has taken a strong stand on
the issue and all of this is sort of at
tacking the moral side of the issue —
drugs are bad.”
It appears that everyone is imple
menting a drug-testing program.
However, the study showed that or
ganizations are not engaging in
drug-testing as much as the public
thought. In fact, only 24.3 percent
of the respondents’ firms have drug
testing programs. Seventy percent of
those were installed within the past
year.
The study also revealed that
women personnel managers in the
workforce “felt less positive” about
mandatory drug testing and were
more likely to oppose it than men,
Ferris said. Men were more likely to
deny employment to a job applicant
who refused to take a drug test, the
study said.
More than 59 percent of the re
spondents’ Firms agreed that em
ployers should be able to give job ap
plicants a drug test, and 34 percent
agreed that employers should be
able to test only employees.
Ferris said his major interest in
the study was the fact that many or
ganizations might be implementing
a drug-testing program without con
sidering the long-term conse
quences. Organizations don’t con
sider the message they are sending
to employees, which might destroy a
good, cultural work environment, he
said.
“The program might identify a
few people with a drug problem but
what are the potential benefits of
identifying these few people versus
the long-term consequences of em-
Ferris said.
