A group of CIC presidents met at CIC’s office on February 26 with John Walters, director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy, for an exchange of views about drug and alcohol abuse on campus. Participating in the discussion were: David Caputo, Pace University (NY); James Davis, Shenandoah University (VA); Richard Detweiler, Hartwick College (NY); Richard Flynn, Springfield College (MA); Todd Hutton, Utica College (NY); Larry Large, Oglethorpe University (GA); L. Jay Lemons, Susquehanna University (PA); Scott Miller, Wesley College (DE); Jack Noonan, Bloomfield College (NJ); Neil Albert Salonen, University of Bridgeport (CT); and John Strassburger, Ursinus College (PA). CIC organized the meeting with Walters, who was particularly interested in learning about campus programs that have been successful in preventing alcohol abuse and drug use. The relationship between the college and the responsibilities of parents, legal authorities, and outside counseling and treatment organizations was also discussed. Walters encouraged the participants in the meeting to contact him with further thoughts about ways in which the Office of National Drug Control Policy can shape its efforts in order to be most helpful to colleges and universities.
