SUBJECT: INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS APPLICABILITY: STUDENT ATHLETES
DRUG EDUCATION, TESTING
AND COUNSELING PROGRAM Introductory Statement The Administration of the University of North Texas (UNT), as well as its health service professional, substance abuse counselors and coaches, strongly believe that the use and/or abuse of the drugs listed late in this policy (excluding those drugs prescribed by a physician to treat a specific medical condition) can: 1. Seriously affect the performance of individuals as students and as athletes; 2. Be detrimental to the physical and mental well being of its student athletes, no matter when such usage should occur during the year; 3. Be dangerous to the athlete and his/her teammates in athletic competition to practice; and 4. Be detrimental to the spirit of fair competition. Consequently, the use and/or abuse by a student athlete of the drugs listed later in this policy (excluding those drugs prescribed by a physician to treat a specific medical condition when taken in accordance with the prescription), or the failure of a student athlete to participate in alcohol and drug abuse counseling as required under this policy, is deemed a violation of the student athlete's intercollegiate athletic team rules and shall subject the student athlete involved to the sanctions provided later in this policy.

The Red Ribbon Campaign DEA Special Agent Enrique Camarena's death in 1985 touched the nation deeply, and Americans felt outraged and frustrated that more could not be done to end the brutal violence of the drug war. In order that Camarena's sacrifice not be forgotten and to demonstrate their own commitment to take a stand against drug abuse, Americans began wearing red ribbons. As this tribute spread across the nation, the Virginia Federation of Parents and the Illinois Drug Education Alliance called on members of grassroots organizations across the country to wear a red ribbon. Today, millions of Americans across the nation and around the world proudly wear red ribbons during the last week of October as a symbol of their commitment to make America drug free. The Red Ribbon Campaign has also grown into a symbol of support for DEA's efforts to reduce demand for drugs through prevention and education programs.

none / 0 by tedismean on Wed Aug 21st, 2002 at 07:51:54 PM PDT User Info I went through the DARE program in elementary school, and afterwards was inspired to feel this "high" they were talking about. I think if DARE wants to be succesful they need to target the parents. This would hopefully eliminate all the exaggerations, and be informing a source that actually has some influence on the kid. But this seems to be impossible because all that they'd ever send is "How to tell if your child is a Heroin addict", thus creating conflict between the paranoid parents and the child who obliviously shows one of the 5,000 symptoms. I see no hope for the system unless they can be honest about drugs and help the parents be able to relay an realistic perspective of them to their kids.

Many efforts are being made by Quebec RCMP investigators to curb drug traffickers' activities. But one sector in particular is more prevention-oriented: the Drug Awareness Service whose first mandate is to reduce demand through drug abuse awareness and education initiatives. Four police officers and one doping consultant are assigned to this unit. The unit provides information sessions and displays on drugs in order to cater to various clients: other police forces, government and non-government agencies, health and education professionals, drug addiction groups, private businesses and public agencies. In cooperation with numerous partners from the areas of health, education and criminology, the unit is involved in the development of various solutions to the problem of drug abuse and takes part in committees, consultation initiatives, seminars and workshops.
In 1998, the Quebec RCMP Drug Awareness Service covered 332 events and directly impacted on 10,621 stakeholders and participants. Our unit also coordinated the update of three national antidrug programs: "Kids and Cops" in cooperation with Montreal Urban Community Police Department; "Two-Way Street; Parents, Kids and Drugs"; "Drugs and Sport". Moreover, through the "Mobile Drug Exhibit", a joint project with the Quebec Health and Education Departments and the Quebec Museum of Civilization, we were able to reach some 14,000 Secondary I and II students and 1,500 parents.

11 July 2000 FUNDING BOOST FOR PROJECTS TO COMBAT DRUG ABUSE A further £2.2m is being allocated to the fight against drug misuse. The money will go to projects across Northern Ireland. A Government spokesman said today that seventy-one bids had been received in a recent round of applications for funding support and, after careful assessment, twenty-one have been selected for funding. In total, £5.5m is being made available over the three years to March 2002 to support the implementation of the Northern Ireland Drug Strategy, of which £4.5m is going directly to fund projects on the ground. The new funding, which the groups will receive over this financial year and the next, is in addition to the £2.3m announced by Minister of State, Adam Ingram, in March. At that time, Mr Ingram announced that a further sum would be released by the summer and organisations, particularly those from the voluntary and community sectors, were invited to apply. Criteria for selection were established then and were applied rigorously to all bids. The money is being allocated immediately and will allow the successful groups to get on with this important work.

Some parents question schools' role in drug education (Published: 11/1/98)
By Karen Brooks
Star-Telegram Staff Writer
Red Ribbon Week conjures up positive images of grinning students bedecked with pins, T-shirts and slogans exalting the youngsters' pledge to be drug-free.
Yet on the opposite end of Tony Arangio's phone line Tuesday morning, a parent's voice was twisting with anger.
"My son is in the first grade, and he shouldn't know anything about drugs," the parent told Arangio, coordinator of Safe and Drug Free Schools for Arlington school district. The educator's response: "It's just a red ribbon. Throw it away. Don't wear it. Schools are very accommodating. If you say, `I don't want my kid to wear it,' we don't do it." In the past decade, as schools have been asked to shoulder the difficult task of delivering the anti-drug message to the nation's youths, educators have spoken of parents primarily as partners in the efforts.

Excerpts from Growing Up Drug-Free: A Parent's Guide to Prevention
When most parents talk about drugs, they voice some of their greatest fears and concerns. And their apprehension is well-justified: The 1990s began with an increase in the popularity of drugs. During the previous decade, the number of children using drugs declined by nearly half as leaders from government, the media, and community and parents' groups sent a unified message to the public: drug addiction can destroy your relationships and family life and can harm or even kill you. Unfortunately, as the general public began to feel that the problem had abated and was now manageable, usage began to rise again. A recent study found that 4 out of 10 tenth-graders have tried marijuana. Those of us who grew up during the first wave of drug experimentation knew more about drugs than our parents did. Now we don't know as much about drugs as our children do. And we certainly don't know what it feels like to live in our children's world-a world not only more complex and stressful than it was during our youth, but with a drug culture that never existed before. For example:
  • LSD is now marketed to younger children with colorful designs or cartoon characters;

    (Page 1 of 4) Marijuana use is growing among teens. In the past 10 years, its use has grown nearly 300 percent and the marijuana teens are smoking today is much more potent than the drug their parents may have tried. Nearly half of all teens drink alcohol regularly and about half of those are binge drinkers having five or more drinks at a time. If the news about teens and drugs sounds bleak, it’s not all bad. If nearly half of teens drink that means more than half don’t. Parents and other adults who are involved with children are helping improve the statistics and the lives of children. Talking to kids about drugs is one of those times when, as parents or other adults who care about children, we can feel a bit out of our depth. But talking with children about drugs isn’t about one talk, one time. It’s about talking and listening all the time. Adults teach children about making good choices and good choices about drug use are just part of the message.
