Page so Michigan State University Offers Summer SCARLET AND BLACK Courses In Europe and Asia This Year Michigan State University is offering credit courses in England, Spain, France, Austria, Norway, and Japan during the summer of 1970, the MSU Office of Overseas Study announced Editorial Reprinted From The New York Times The seriousness of New York City’s drug abuse problem and the utter inadequacy of the governmental response to it have been demonstrated by a series of developments within the past several days. A 17-year-old Barnard College freshman died after inhaling an overdose of heroin over the weekend. A 17-year-old Brooklyn boy, an 18»year-old Bronx girl, and a “3-year-old Staten Island boy died from drug abuse in the city‘s five boroughs last year. Drug abuse has become more pervasive among the city’s very young. A deeply addicted 12-yearold girl was found in a narcotics daze last week and returned to her expensive East Side home. An 11-year-old girl was admitted into the privately run Odyssey Home rehabilitation program, and an ll-yearmld boy was arrested with his two companions. ages 13 and 15, on charges of selling heroin. It is hard to understand why city officials tried for a time to block the release of statistics sketching the vast dimensions of the drug abuse problem, or why they have failed to launch a preventive or rehabilitation program on the scope clearly required. They have, instead, sought to close down the Bronx Odyssey House, the only facility in me country devoted solely to the rehabilitation of teen-age addicts. They summoned Dr. Judianne Densen-Gerber, director of the program,iinto criminal court on charges of violating a building code provision against overcrowding. She faces a jail term. Neither the city nor the state has made available presently unused buildings which could be turned into treatment centers to the Odyssey program or to other private organizations trying desperately to fill the void created by official inaction. Such action is urgently needed. The city and state ought to launch educational programs on drugs to reach youngsters in the lowest school grades. There are probably 100.000 heroin addicts in the city, an estimated one-fourth of them teenagers. Additional thousands of other youngsters are ex perimenting with heroin and other dangerous drugs. Preventive programs require immediate launching. Rehabilitation centers need to be opened quickly. The Federal Government should help underwrite city and state efforts in these areas Mayor Lindsay has so far remained strangely aloof. He provides for new rehabilitation centers in his capital budget. Governor Rockefeller recommends further study. For the state to propose the treatment of 150 teenagers in a pilot project that might get under way in six months, as Assembly Speaker Duryea proposed last weekI is for it to continue ignoring the urgency and the dimensions of the problem. How many youngsters must die before Government becomes alarmed? HOW many families of all economic and social strata must know heartache? Is there within the remote bureaucracy no one who owns a sense of honest outraze? THE WAR IS OVER THERE ARE HUNGRY PEOPLE today.
