6—The Daily Collegian Wednesday, April 22, 1981 Group aids Africa environment By RON WATERS Daily Collegian Staff Writer A fivelear project to help African countries overcome such environmental problems as drought has been under taken by a group of American universities. The Southeast Consortium for International 'Devel opment, of which Penn State is a member, is organizing seminars to be conducted in Africa to train technicians and officials on a variety of topics. "They will cover everything from drought control to metals and pesticides to almost anything you can imag ine," said project coordinator Earle Buckley. "It depends on the needs of the area." Buckley said the project is intended to go beyond teaching technicians. "The good thing about this program is that it is being done in Africa," he said. "We're not just training individu als but helping to assist institutions so they can set up seminars on their own and eventually the Africans can do all the training themselves." The project is to cost $8.6 million and is being funded by the Agency for International Development, he said. The main expenses are traveling and setting up the seminars. Buckley said the first seminar last month was held in Tanzania and covered pesticides and heavy , metal pollut ion that is found in soil, water and air. The regional seminar lasted almost two weeks.

Other projects scheduled for this year are: • in Kenya, resource management and regional plan- • in Sudan, drought monitoring and desertification; • in Botswana, drought management; • in Cameroun, environmental considerations in ur ban development; a in Nigeria, water and industrial pollution; and in Ivory Coast, developmental planning and resource management. In addition, negotiations for future seminars are under way in Zaire, Upper Volta and Malawi, said Buckley. He said each seminar will last one to six weeks, while longer programs offering aid in resource management may last up to three months. He said the biggest problem is communicating over the long distances. A regional contractor from Clark Universi ty in Massachucetts has been stationed in Nairobi; and another representative will be sent to Adidaan this sum mer, he said. "Environmental needs cover a lot of different topics. We have 32 institutions; from them we can, draw a wide range of expertise for the project," he said. Although the University has yet to participate in the program, any qualified professors or graduate students should contact Robert McAlexabder of the College of Agriculture. FRANCISCANS on campus Valley's water lecture topic The geological aspects of the Nittany Valley water supply will be the lecture topic of Richard R. Parizek, professor of geology and geophysics, at 7:30 tonight in the Fairmount Avenue school audito rium, 411 S. Fraser St. Parizek's lecture, titled "We're All in the Same Bathtub," will examine the problems and benefits that are unique to a water supply based in a limestone valley. The event is sponsored by the Clear Water Conservancy. Parizek will discuss the problems con fronting independent communities and institutions that are all drawing water from the same watershed. James McClure, president of Clear Water, said many of the water supply problems in a limestone region are due to the chemical properties of limestone. Specifically, limestone can be dissolved by a weak acid such as rainwater. McClure said Parizek's discussion will examine the land area from the Univer sity Farms, located west of Pine Grove Mills, to Milesburg.

"The drug of choice right now is alcohol," said Donald Suit, director of the office of conduct standards. "Alcohol is a very large problem." Suit said that while alcohol use has increased recently, marijuana use has not increased andjf anything, has dropped. Alcohol use is partially the result of society and pressure, Suit said, because students at a party think they must have a drink. "The peer pressure and social pressure is so heavy," he said. Non-drinkers are under a lot of pressure to drink, he said. Many students may have experimented with marijuana in the past, Suit said, but the drug is not used as consistently. Also, the use of other types of drugs, such as quaaludes, have dropped significantly, he said. "I think people are a little more aware of the dangers of those types of drugs," Suit said. However, younger users are not as wary of the dangers, he said. Though cocaine is usually too expensive for most students, Suit said he does run across it now and then at the University. "It's got an aura of sophistication around it," he said. Terrell Jones, East Halls coordinator, said marijuana is hard to get and students don't seem to use it as much. 7i. f.t.pluom i.t.pluani fjpluom /wpm' fjpiuom ... • z - • 4 , r 4 %.1 ....

Student alcohol use on the rise "We don't seem to see the amount used in the residence halls we might have seen five years ago," he said. However, marijuana is much more acceptable now, he said, and many people have tried it. Alcohol used to be considered very acceptable but people are now seeing it as a drug, Jones said. The University community is much more aware of alcohol, he said. "I do think that students drink an awful lot," Jones said. Students are very seldom written up for marijuana use, he said, because it is a much tougher drug than alcohol to pin down. A staff member may smell what he or she believes is marijuana, and can explain the laws to a resident, but the drug is hard to see, he said.

Alcohol is easier to see when brought into a residence hall, Jones said, and it is easy to tell when a large party is taking A University Resident Assistant, who asked to remain unidentified, said she sees much more alcohol use than marijuana use in the residence halls. "I see it (marijuana) very rarely," she said. "Everybody uses.alcohol." Alcohol is much easier for people to get, she said, and people figure it causes less harm than other drugs. Alcohol is also more of a social drug, she said, whereas marijuana smokers don't smoke socially but do so to get high. "I don't think (marijuana) is as socially acceptable as alcohol," she said.

She said that "a lot more people drink here than in high school" because alcohol is readily available, and students living on campus do not have to drive home. "There's more pressure in college," she said. "Alcohol is a way to relieve pressure." Michael De Cecca (12th-engineering) said he sees a lot of alcohol use but doesn't see marijuana use very often. Alcohol is also easier to come by, he said. "It's not as dangerous to have," he said. As for marijuana, "a lot of people are turned off to it," he said. "They don't like smoking anything." Jones said that marijuana is usually brought with students from home. "We're just not near a large city," he said. "It's our perception that there's not a whole lot of it around." Suit said that if a student is caught with less than an ounce.of marijuana or with residue of it, he or she is usually given probation for a term if it is the first offense. If a student has an ounce or more of the drug it may be an indication of distribution, and the student can be subject to penalties from multiple probation to suspension. Suit said he sees a lot more cases of alcohol use, which usually involve possession of it by under-age students. Normally the offender receives a warning letter, but penalties can work their way up, he said. -n - ar - qww - i - --Ir. Free extra thick crust! Free extra thick crust a on any 16" pizza.
