As a result of their arrest they were asked not to wear their uniforms to a Thursday morning pep rally. Had the Peppers performed at the rally, the two girls would have been prohibited from participating, according to Superintendent Gary Norris. The rally was for the girl's basketball team, which won a trip to the state 5-A championship tournament in Topeka.

The Plumers are starters on the basketball team, and were allowed to play Thursday and in Friday's game, which the team lost. "We treated these as two separate incidents," Norris said. "Based on the information we received, there were differences in the two activities. The first involved police making an arrest in a car where there were drugs in the car, and at some point the participants acknowledged what they had done." In the second case, he said, "There was no acknowledgement, and no proof anything had happened." He compared the Plumer situation to that of Gary Thomas, boy's basketball coach at Central High School, who is charged with mail and wire fraud and conspiracy in connection with an investigation into the Baylor University men's basketball program. Before coming to Salina, Thomas was an assistant coach at the Texas school.

"At this point we didn't have any evidence to say he was guilty, or caught in the act Norris said. "Other than the charge (against the Plumers), I and the principals had no knowledge to make an assumption they were guilty." However, if administrators receive "conclusive evidence" of their guilt, "the school is not prohibited from going ahead with whatever punishment is appropriate," he said. Norris said the schools will cooperate with police in the investigation. "We will be working with them to determine the extent of the problem and try to come up with solutions," Norris said. "The last thing we want to do is deny we may have a problem.

We intend to address it." California connection Salina Police Lt. Mike Marshall, commander of the Drug Task Force, said methamphetamine arrests have jumped in the past six months. A large quantity of the drug seems to be coming into Salina from California, where drug agencies are overwhelmed with methamphetamine manufacturing facilities, Marshall said. Since the task force started in July 1993, its methamphetamine arrests include 39 for intent to sell, 24 each for possession and sale and 12 for conspiracy to sell. In the past six months, arrests total 20 for intent to FROM PAGE 1 Khrushchev warns U.S.

to avoid war in Bosnia Khrushchev offered other observations to the students: The Russian economy: The Germans are spending $100 billion each year to put the former East German economy on a footing with West Germany. Russia, with 148 million people, 10 times the population of Germany, will need $1,000 billion each year of direct investment for 10 years to catch up to the West. "It's impossible. There needs to be some different way." Bosnia: The U.S. can count on another Vietnam if it puts troops in Bosnia, said Khrushchev.

The Bosnians are the remains of the Ottoman Empire and raised opposition against Christians. "So fighting will go on between these groups forever. There is no answer there and I think it is better to remain outside of it." Boris Yeltsin: "Yeltsin is the example of the worst type of communist leader. He is concerned more about retaining power. We need a reformer who knows how to FOR YOUR INFORMATION born March 10.

Fifth No. 1, in connection with the theft of a video camera from Western Auto Outlet Store on South 81 INJURY ACCIDENT Highwaynthia Searcy, 41, New Cambria, was treated at Asbury-Salina Regional Medical Center on Thursday after the car she was driving was involved in a chain-reaction collision involving four vehicles on Ohio near Prescott.

Searcy was traveling south on Ohio on Thursday at 12:50 p.m. when she collided with the truck behind her driven by Michael White, 22, 100 E. Claflin. White had collided with the car in back of him driven by Lisa Hanson, 19, 1130 E. Ash.

These figures don't include arrests made by other law enforcement personnel, such as patrol officers who discover the drug during routine traffic stops.

"Four separate traffic stops in one day yielded methamphetamine," Chief Hill said. High appeal Methamphetamine found in Salina is in powder form, which the user inhales through the nose. It stimulates the central nervous system and is addictive, requiring increasing amounts for the user to feel the drug's trademark physical and psychological exhilaration. Amphetamines speed up a user's heart rate and blood pressure and can cause heart attacks, strokes and other problems. Methamphetamine was once called poor man's cocaine because of its relatively cheap price; however, its value has risen with its use until the cost is comparable to cocaine, Marshall said." Methamphetamine sells for $100 a gram.

It's mostly sold in fractions of a gram. A quarter-gram sells for $25, a half-gram goes for $50. A typical dose is about a sixteenth-gram, Marshall said. More education Police and school authorities agree that the way to combat drug use in school and in the community is with more education. Hill would like to see the antidrug DARE program expanded to the secondary schools.

Now it's only introduced to sixth graders throughout the county. The district begins its substance abuse message when the students first enter the educational system. "We start in kindergarten about medicines and safe and unsafe chemicals," said Betty McFall, coordinator of the district's substance abuse prevention and intervention support services. "It builds, curriculum-wise, every year." McFall recently learned that a bill in Congress would eliminate money for drug abuse education in schools. "That's how we are funded," she said.

The Salina district receives between $45,000 and $50,000 annually to fund its program. If the money is cut, the program will have to be funded from other sources, or eliminated. That would be a step backward, McFall believes. "Certainly, the more prevention communitywide and schoolwide the said. But the schools can't do it all.

The city must respond by demonstrating anti-drug behavior. If the norms of the community don't support the school's anti-drug message, no prevention program will succeed. "The community needs to be aware of the seriousness of the problem. It's not something we can blow off," she said. make the transformation (to a market economy) work and, secondly, one who does not drink too Chechnya: "The simple answer is I feel bad," he said.

The war had its beginnings among criminals who stole property from the state, and branched off into a wider dispute involving Chechnyan independence. "Why this criminal war? Because mistakes in economic information brought Russia to a criminal society. The reformers created laws of private property, without there being much private property to begin with. Institutions are stealing from the state, bringing about a black market. The groups involved fight against each other." To students, Khrushchev was an ambassador from their parents' era.

Nikita Khrushchev is taught about in history classes. Students said they liked hearing from someone so close to famous events. "It was pretty interesting to see someone who has actually experienced not someone who was there but someone who had a bearing (on events)," said Brent Curtis, Central High junior.
