Toilet kisses

A principal of a small
middle school had a
problem with a few
of the older girls
starting to use
lipstick. When
applying it in the
bathroom, they
would then press
their lips to the
mirror and leave lip
prints.

Before it got out of
hand, he thought of
a way to stop it. He
gathered all the
girls together who
wore lipstick and
told them he wanted
to meet with them
in the ladies room
at 2 pm.

They gathered at 2 pm.
and found the
principal and the
school custodian
waiting for them.
The principal
explained that it
was becoming a
problem for the
custodian to clean
the mirror every
night. He said he
felt the ladies did
not fully understand
just how much of a
problem it was, and
he wanted them to
witness just how
hard it was to clean.

The custodian then
demonstrated. He
took a long brush on
a handle out of a
box. He then dipped
the brush in the
nearest toilet.
moved to the mirror
and proceeded to
remove the lipstick.

That was the last day
the girls pressed
their lips on the
mirror.

It looked like an alien city in the mid-

“The idea is to create a human sup-

The housing has to be compact.

The packages had to be 14 by 16 by 22
inches to fit into the cargo hold of an air-

to carry it with him/her wherever they go.

“We plan on taking a trip to possibly

Taking ‘rape drug’ seriously

Eyes on prevention: Recent legislation seeks
to upgrade Rohypnol to level of heroin, cocaine

By Brandon Hart
STAFF WRITER

Imagine the horror of waking
up in an unfamiliar room with-
out any cloti’ies on and discover-
ing mysterious bruises covering
your body.

As brutal as this nightmare
seems, it is something that is be-
coming more prevalent in cities
across America. The culprit in
these situations is a drug known
as Rohypnol.

According to the National In-
stitute of Drug Abuse. Rohypnol
is a name brand for the drug Flu-
nitrazepam. The druc is produced
legally in Mexico. and is used
throughout Europe as a sedative
and sleeping pill. but is common
1y used to commit rape in the US.

The US. government agrees
with the notion that the use of Ro~
hypnol. and other so called “date
rape drugs." must be dealt with in
a swift and tactful manner.

The Department of Justice
says Flunitrazepam started as a
Schedule IV drug. meaning that it
had little chance of becoming a
problem. But there has been re-
cent legislation by Congress to
move the drug to Schedule I. This
means the drug will be classified
with LSD and heroin. because it
does not have any medical value.

and will bring about tougher pe-
nalities for distribution and pos-
session.

The Emergency NeWs Service
said F‘liinitrazepam goes by many
street names including roofies.
ruffles. roche. R-2. rib and rope.

Although it is legal in many
countries. Rohypnol cannot legal-
ly be sold in the United States.
The NIDA says it is predominant-
ly being smuggled in from Mexico
and Columbia. where it is very in-
expensive.

The ENS calls Rohypnol the
"date rape drug" of choice. be-
cause it is cheap and is easy to
find in most large American
cities.

The drug is very similar iii
nature to Valium and Halcyon.
but is 10 times stronger. accord-
ing to the ENS. it is most often
placed into the beverage of the
unsuspecting victim. and can be-
gin ef'fecting them within 20 min-
utes of inception.

“it is really scary that there
are drugs like this floating
around out there. but the really
frightening thing is the people
who are using them." said Va-
lerie Simpkins. an undeclared
sophomore.

According to the Legislative
Information Homepage. the Vio.
lence Against Women Act II of

1999 ordered that Flunitrazepam
be moved from Schedule 1V to
Schedule I. because of its link to
date rape.

“I think that drugs with no
medical value should be dealt
with in different ways." said Scan
Benson. a biology freshman.

“People who use and sell
these drugs should be dealt with
just like people who deal more se-
vere drugs like heroin or cocaine.
because of the way that they are
used." Simpkins said.

Along with Flunitrazepam.
there are several other drugs that
are being targeted by the govern-
ment as date rape drtigs. Kcta-
mine Hydrochloride and gamma
y-hydroxybutyrate are two other
drugs also under fire.

The Date Rape Prevention
Act (if 1999, sponsored by Rep,
Bart Stupak (D-Michigaii). targets
several drugs that may be used to
facilitate date rape. including the
ones mentioned above.

“Hopefully the new legisla-
tion will help slow the problem
down. so people can go to clubs
without worrying about some
thing like this happening to
them." Benson said.

drugs." go to http: , www.cmer

Scam
targets
Brown U.
students

Beware: Students
should be on guard
for people trying to
sell fake credit cards

By Jackie Delamatre
BROWN DAILY HERALD

PROVIDENCE. RI , , Ac-
cording to Brown University
Police and Security (BUPS). a
Brown student was targeted
in a possible credit card scam
on March 17 at 11:25 am.

The student reported that
she received a phone call
from a female who represent-
ed herself as a Citibank VISA
employee.

The caller said that she
needed to verify the student's
date of birth and social secu-
rity number.

When the student asked
the caller her name and the
toll-free number at which she
could be contacted. the caller
became evasive and hung up.
The caller then called back
saying she had the student‘s
information. but still refused
to give her name or number.

Two days after the inci-
dent. Mark Perry. BUPS
crime prevention officer. sent
out a crime alert “over cam-
pus watch [e—mail] and h-
board."

In addition. the police
spread the news and preven-
tion tips to first-year stu-
dents.

“[We] contacted all the
counselors to get the word
out." said Damaris Castillo-
Lopes. BUPS coordinator for
special services.

The effort to spread
awareness spurred reports of
similar incidents.

"After I sent the e-mail to
counselors. I got two phone
calls from students saying it
happened to them. so I think
people are becoming aware
that this is a scam." Castillo-
Lopes said.

Unfortunately. not all of
the seams were thwarted.

“I did get some e-mails re-
garding people who have got-
ten a call and gave their infor-
mation out." Perry said. “The
student [targeted on March
17] did the right thing she
was smart"

Shepard
trial
begins

ASSOCIATED PRESS

LARAMIE. Wyo. , » A
prosecutor asked 71 prospec-
tive jurors yesterday to set
aside the emotions of pity and
rage if chosen for the trial in
the death of gay college student
Matthew Shepard.

Prosecutor Cal Rerucha
also told the panel to remember
that Shepard. who was beaten
and left tied to a fence in near-
freezing weather last fall. was
“a victim that was different. a
victim that was not the same as
you and I."

But be emphasized that the
Constitution requires all peo-
ple to be treated fairly under
the law.

Rerucha‘s statements came
as the trial of Russell Hender»
son began in Albany County
District Court.

During his comments to po-
tential jurors. defense attorney
Wyatt Skaggs shifted the blame
for the killing to Henderson's co-
defendant. Aaron McKinney.
who was to be tried later.

“Russell Henderson was a
witness to the beating of
Matthew Shepard," Skaggs
said.

He also warned jurors
they would be seeing ”really.
really graphic" photos during
the trial. As he said this.
Matthew Shepard‘s mother.
Judy. who was in the last row
of the courtroom. slowly
looked down.

By the lunch break. to
prospective jurors had been dis-
missed for various reasons. in
cluding health and business is-
sues. One woman was dis-
missed for child care reasons.

Scmluireck

named
group’s
president

By Robert Ouan
STAFF WRITER

At age 24. Jean Schreck is
already making headway in
he: profession.

The second-year pharma-
cy student has been elected to
serve as president of the
American Pharmaceutical As-
sociation Academy of Stu-
dents of Pharmacy.

“I feel very excited,“
said Schreck, who is work-
ing toward a doctorate in
pharmacy. “I’m proud of the
fact that I’ve been chosen to
represent and lead the phar-
macy students."

The academy encompass-
es the nation’s 83 pharmaceu—
tical schools and more than
18,000 students.

Schreck will serve as pres-
ident-elect for one year to
learn all the nuances of the job
and serve as full president for
another year.

At first Schreck wanted to
run for one of two member-at
large positions. Any pharma-
cy student can run for any of
the national offices, but when
she arrived at the convention
in San Antonio, she found
only one candidate was run-
ning for president.

"I talked to a lot of people.
and they wanted a choice."
she said.

“So I just took the risk. I
guess it really paid off."

Schreck’s new job isn't a
figurehead position.

As president, she will have
a voting voice in the associa-
tion's professional meetings.

Schreck will be going to
other pharmacy schools as

part of an outreach program
and attending business and
committee meetings in Wash—
ington. Lucky for Schreck,
the association foots the bill
on travel expenses.

“As a poor college student
it’s not always easy to do
this," she said. “I’m going to
have to rearrange all of my fi-
nals for a meeting we have
during the last week of
April.”

After graduating with a
degree in chemistry from
Penn State, Schreck, original-
ly from New York, moved to
Pikeville, where she said there
was little work for a chemist.
She got a job at the town’s
pharmacy, where she devel-
oped a passion for the field.

“Everywhere I go now, I
speak of pharmacy." she said.
“I see what pharmacists can
do. We’re there to help people
understand and get the most
out of their medicine.

“Pharmacists don’t just
fill prescriptions anymore,
we want to educate patients."

Before coming to UK,
Schreck worked for Pfizer, the
pharmaceutical company that
markets Viagra.

After graduating she had
thought about going back to
work for the company, but
working with the association
has swayed her toward public
policy.

“A lot of what the Amer-
ican Pharmaceutical Associ-
ation does is help pharma-
cists do their job." said
Schreck who is also working
toward a master’s in public
administration.

Man barred from all us.
colleges after sex scandal

By Jennifer Zeis
YHE DAILY CAMPUS

STORRS, Conn. *7 A con-
victed sex offender who solicit-
ed female students on campus
was banned from all college
campuses in the United States.
a Superior Court judge ruled on
Tuesday.

John Urban. 38, of Billeri-
ca. Mass. is free after posting
$150,000 bail. Under the condi-
tions of the bail. Urban was
ordered to stay away from all
female college undergradu-
ates.

“The bond conditions are
our efforts to assure the citizen-
ry of UConn that they are safe.
and that Mr. Urban is not a
threat to them." said defense
lawyer James Sulick.

Urban was arrested March
9 on weapons charges after a
sock filled with rocks. a brown
lockblade knife, handcuffs with
a chain. rope and two condoms
were found in his vehicle.

On March 18, Urban was
charged by UConn police with
three counts of stalking and
two counts of disorderly con-
duct after he appeared at the
police station to pick up his
impounded vehicle.

Police said 57 female stu-
dents have said Urban asked
them to baby-sit his children or
watch his dogs. Some of the
women said they accepted rides
from Urban.

Police Chief Robert Hudd
said he is grateful for the deci-
sion. On multiple occasions po-
lice asked the prosecuting attor-
ney and hail commissioner for
Urban to be banned from
UConn. Hudd said.

"I think that (the ban) is a
good thing," said Kathleen Hol-
gerson. director of the Women's
Center. “It is an important
recognition that it was not only
our campus he was a threat to.
but other campuses as well."

Liz Erhardt. USG presi-
dent. said the ruling will give

other universities an immedi-
ate reason to arrest Urban if he
is found on their campuses.

Marisa Nadolny. an eighth—
semester English/anthropolo
gy major. said she was uncer-
tain of how effective the ban
would be.

She said Urban might try
to alter his identity should he
ever come back to UConn. and
a ban should have been imple-
mented from the beginning of
the investigation.

Urban was convicted in
1982 of raping a child. stalking
and kidnapping. He was sen-
tenced to life in Bri
