Sunland Mortuary. Bush to kids: You're not a nerd if you skip drugs President addresses nation's schools Republic Wire Services WASHINGTON President Bush took his anti-drug message to the nation's schoolchildren Tuesday, telling them that refusing drugs make you a nerd" and urging youngsters to help others stay away from narcotics. "I'm asking you to not to look the other way," Bush said in a noontime television address beamed live from the White House to thousands of schools across the country. Saying that everyone knows someone who has a problem with drugs, Bush added, "I'm asking you to find someone who needs you. And offer to help.

"I'll say it again: If you're not in trouble, help someone who is." The president spoke from the library of the family living quarters on the second floor of the White House, one week after he proposed a $7.9 billion strategy to fight drugs in his first Oval Office speech. On another front, the White House on Tuesday uncorked a toughly worded, partisan attack against congressional Democrats who are criticizing the administration's anti-drug efforts as inadequate and underfunded. Press secretary Marlin Fitzwater said Democrats are trying "to play price-tag politics" with the plan, which calls for more prisons, more prosecutors, tougher sentences and aid to Latin American nations to help combat drug traffickers. "Their first answer was to tax more," Fitzwater said of the Democrats. "Then they had a day-long conference to decide why they can't win a presidential election.

And now their new answer is to spend more." On Capitol Hill, Sen. Robert Byrd, chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, proposed legislation to boost anti-drug spending to $10.1 billion, or $2.2 billion more than Bush's program, in fiscal 1990. Byrd proposed across-the-board cuts of 0.575 percent in many domestic and Pentagon programs. Bush has suggested taking money away from a handful of domestic programs to pay for his program. Senate Minority Leader Bob Dole, indicated that despite the White House opposition, he likes elements of Byrd's plan.

"He may have the best solution on the funding side of the cquation," Dole said of Byrd. "I'm not certain of the amount, but perhaps that's something we can work Fitzwater said Byrd's proposal "throws money at the problem rather than providing a plan." The White House said Bush's advisers will recommend that he veto such legislation if it reaches his desk. While the White House argued with Democrats, the administration offered a new price tag for the long-term cost of the drug war. William Bennett, director of national drug-control policy, told the House Foreign Affairs Committee, "I don't think it's unreasonable to say that we are talking about a $50 billion program over five At the White House, Bush spoke for 15 minutes to schoolchildren in an address carried live by the four major television networks, as well as by educational cable-TV systems. The Education Department had alerted 15,000 superintendents and 55,000 principals of the broadcast, and some schools held assemblies at which pupils listened to the speech.

"Presidents don't often get the chance to talk directly to students," Bush said. "So today, for cach of you sitting in a classroom or assembly hall, this message goes straight to you. "Most of you are doing the right thing. But for those of you who let drugs make their decisions for them, you can almost hear the doors slamming shut." Drugs, Bush said, are "an equal-opportunity destroyer. They have no conscience.

They don't care where the money comes from. They just murder people." Compiled from Knight-Ridder and The Associated Press. Many Arizona pupils miss speech, others flattered, skeptical By Karen McCowan The Arizona Republic The next time President Bush wants to talk to U.S. schoolchildren, he might try notifying school officials of his plans. That was the reaction Tuesday from many Arizona educators.

They were frustrated because thousands of the state's pupils missed the president's speech, which aired on radio and television just as class was getting under way in many Arizona schools. The children who heard Bush's speech were flattered to have the president speak to them, but some were skeptical the message would deter their troubled peers from taking drugs. In places other than Arizona, pupils were skeptical, as well. "It's not going to make no difference. People don't listen," 11- year-old Louranda Ross said after listening to Bush's address along with her fifth-grade classmates at Mattahunt Elementary School, in inner-city Boston.

In Washington, D.C., 13-year-old Russell Davis blurted out in a question-and-answer session after his class heard Bush tell children to help other children, "Sometimes you can't help them if they don't want help. "If a person is using drugs, and he feels he must have it, when you offer help, he might rebel against you. What can you do?" Among the children who missed the president's speech deploring drug use were many pupils in the state's largest school district, Mesa Public Schools. A district official heard about the speech late Monday, and a bulletin about it was sent out over the district's computer system Tuesday morning. But because of the typical flurry of before-school activity, many principals did not see the message until just before the president began speaking about 9 a.m.

Arizona time, district spokeswoman Judi Willis said. "A few of our schools caught it before it was over, but with the hecticness of getting school under way, many weren't able to take advantage of it," Willis said. "But we did tape it, and plan to rebroadcast it over cable television." President Bush "I'll say it again: If you're not in trouble, help someone who is." Jody Walker "I know a lot of kids who don't care if (drugs kill) you. We need to do more on why you should want to live." At the Roosevelt Elementary School District's Rose Linda School in south Phoenix, officials learned of the president's speech only because Assistant Principal Marion Williams happened to hear about it on a radio newscast. Teacher Lillie Jordan had a radio in her classroom and tuned in the speech for her third-graders.

They were clearly impressed that the president wanted to talk to them. "I felt nice, because he was talking to us and not to the parents," said Adam Garcia, 9. Classmate Marisol Frietz, 8, was struck by the president's admonition to help friends stay away from drugs. "He said if someone you like or love is doing drugs, you should help them (to stop)," he said. "I think some people will listen, because he's the president and they should obey him." Seventh- and eighth-graders, who watched or heard the president's speech at Madison No.

1 School in north Phoenix were more skeptical that it would change pupil behavior. "It was nice that he talked to us," said Tami Perdue, 13. "But I think if you're going to be starting drugs, your mind's set on it." Classmate Jody Walker, 13, said the president needs 'to address the social problems that lead children to turn to drugs. "He said, 'Don't do drugs it will kill she said. "Well, I know a lot of kids who don't care if it kills you.

We need to do more 011 why you should want to live." Contributing to this article was The Associated Press..
