The girls said they were making a tour of Draper along with others in a sociology class and were in the prison dining hall when the convicts grabbed them. Both girls said the prisoners held knives to their throats. Miss Davis displayed red marks which she said were caused by the convict drawing the knife tighter across her throat. She said she cut her hand on the knife and wiped her blood on the convict's hand. Miss Davis said other inmates tried to talk the two prisoners into releasing the girls.

The girls said they were released after the convict holding Miss Randolph handed her the knife and she dropped it. Miss Davis said the prisoners and guards rushed the two men then and overpowered them. The coeds said the convicts who grabbed them told of being in Vietnam and getting "messed up" after they returned home. Miss Davis said she regarded them as victims of injustice and observed, "American justice is my enemy because it's not justice." Miss Raldolph said she disagreed, but said she feels "changes are definitely needed in the structure.

The request for a millage 111- crease, which would have given the district an operating budget of 86 mills. was defeated in a district vide election Tuesday 3,110 to 2.734 according to unofficial returns A request for a 15 mill budget increase was defeated in 301 election two weeks ago. Several of the board members were unavailable for comment about the election. including Board Chairman 0. S.

Aiken who has the authority to call the next meeting. Also unavailable were Matt Wallace. Calvin Yarborough and newly elected member D. P. (Tilly) Thompson.

All board members contacted were unable to comment specifically on what changes the district will make. Generally, the board members feel the defeat was attributed to a light turnout of voters. Approximately 7.000 000 of the district's 21,000 eligible electors cast votes in the election. Florence School District No. 1 superintendent Henry L.

Sneed Jr. and Trustee I D. L. Carter declined to comment on the rejection of the budget request. Sneed said he did not have "any idea" about what changes will be made in the budget, and added changes probably will come before the next regularly scheduled board meeting because the district wait that long.

Board Member Theodore Lester attributed the defeat to a "combination of things."

"I don't know what can be done," she said, "if the people are unhappy about this then they need to get legislation to correct it." Of the defeat of the millage increase she said, "apparently this is the wish of the people. They have indicated the quality of schools they want.

Miss Eargle, accompanied by Dan McAulay and John Hughes, all senior pharmaceutical majors, demonstrated to members of the Pee Dee Pharmaceutical Association how they presented drug abuse programs, during an association meeting Tuesday. Team leader Hughes pointed out to the professional pharmacists that "pharmacists are experts on drugs and their effects, and this (teaching others about those effects) is the challenge that is presented to them." He said they had an "ethical and moral responsibility" to be familar with present trends in drugs, and he urged them to return to their texts books and familarize themselves with the contemporary drugs used by teenagers. Hughes said seniors in the School of Pharmacy had been conducting drug abuse talks for the past two and a half years. The rats, he said, are given intravenous injections of an amphetamine, barbiturate and the third is allowed to breathe simulated "glue" vapors. The injection "accurately approaches the oral consumption of the drugs," he said.

"The rats are the best way to show impressionable children how these drugs will affect them." "We point out," he said, "that drugs are not bad they save lives, but abuse of the drugs is a problem." He pointed out that the teams do not 1 try to "scare" children, but make them aware of the drugs they are taking and what the effects can be expected. When the team speaks to adult groups, he said, they try to emphasize that "children today are no longer slipping behind the barn to drink beer, but are experimenting with drugs." They also stress, he said, that parents should show tolerance and understanding when dealing with drug questions and problems. Heroin, the team explains to teenage groups, is cut every time it is handled by a dealer. Therefore, there is no consistency in the percentage a person takes i in each injection. "If a user has been taking 10 per cent injections, and then he takes a 60 per cent injection, it will kill him," Hughes said.

Miss Eargle said more barbiturates are used by ladies to help induce sleep than any other product. As she spoke "Barb," the rat injected with the barbiturate became listless, and finally totally limp." McAulay explained to the pharmacists, just as he would a group of students or a PTA group, that hallucinogenics, LSD, marijuana and glue, would cause "disorientation" and induced a false sense of reality. the rat who had been inhaling the simulated glue fumes, had become disoriented," and began walking around his glass cage yapping pointlessly.
