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.
"To the best of my knowledge, everybody who attended

the meeting thought it went really well," he said.
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.

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 features and
problems in this area are typical of any

Though many students use both marijuana and alcohol,
University officials and students said alcohol consumption is
much more common.
"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.

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.
"When you really look at it it's almost impossible for us to

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.

Amy Westlake (3rd-business) said that, although it depends
on the residence hall floor, she sees more alcohol than
marijuana use.
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.
