Drug Survey
Under Way
In SAISD
Nearly 4,000 San Antonio In-
dependent School district stu-
dents are participating this
week In a comprehensive drug
education survey, aimed at
keeping the district apprised of
current trends In drug abuse by
students.
The survey Is a part of the
SAISD’s continuing efforts to
provide students with the most
effective and up-to-date crime
prevention and drug education
curriculum possible, accord-
ing to Howard Johnston, coor-
dinator of the district’s efforts.
The 4,000 students taking part
in the survey were chosen as
part of a random sampling from
the total number of students in
the district's middle and senior
high schools by Dr, O. 2.
White, professor of sociology
at Trinity university. All geo-
graphic areas of the NAIfD
are represented.
Dr. White hes been retained
by the school system to per-
form the task slnoe It was he who
did a similar study for the
Alamo Area Couneil of Gov-
ernments in the early lS70’s.
Johnston points out the Impor-
tance of the survey is Intensi-
fied since It will provide a
direct comparison of district
students five years ago with the
students of today.
“The comparison date will
give us a solid base on which
to determine current trends In
drug abuse," Johnston adds.
"We can then better evaluate
our efforts, know where to pro-
ceed as we have been and where
to give added emphasis.”
The tests will give no indi-
cation of the Identity of students
who respond. They do, how-
ever, specify the age of the
youth, gender, ethnic group and
grade level. "We want the
students to be completely un-
inhibited in giving their an-
swers, and we have taken great
care to Insure their anonymity, ”
Johnston says.
Sociological questions In-
cluded on the survey will help
In providing an Insight Into the
respondent such as how he feels
about himself, how many school
activities he or she partici-
pates In, etc.
Other questions will ascer-
tain whether the students uses
drugs, what type If he does,
whether he knows of anyone1
who uses drugs or alcohol and
at what age they got started
in drugs If they are a user.
The entire questionnaire con-
sists of 102 questlonswhlchwlll
give a complete view of atti-
tudes, habits, etc., of the youths
being questioned.
Once the surveying procedure
Is complete, Dr. White will
compile and correlate the find-
ings as well as assess and In-
terpret them, the same proce-
dure used In preparing the
AACOG study earlier.
The results will be turned
over to the SAISD In time, ac-
cording to Johnston, to be used
In planning of curriculum for
the 1976-77 school year.

California
Operator
Renigs
LOS ANGELES, Calif.--The
Department of Justice has
charged a Los Angeles apart-
ment operator with violating
a 1973 court order requiring
him to make apartments avail-
able to black persons and to
pay victims of housing dis-
crimination.
Attorney General Edward H.
Levi said a motion for civil
contempt was filed in U.S. Dis-
trict court In Los Angelos, Cal-
ifornia, against Morton (Buddy)
Jules Taub.
The motion charged that
Taub, who owns three apart-
ment buildings, has failed to
comply fully with a consent
order approved by the court on
July 19,1971.
The order was intended to
resolve a housing discrimina-
tion suit filed by the Justice
department on February 9,1971,
charging Taub with discrimi-
nating against black rental ap-
plicants.
The motion said Taub has
violated the order by falling to
notify representatives at ibe
non-white community at apart-
ment vacancies, by refusing to
compensate victims of dis-
crimination, and by falling to
submit quarterly reports on
apartment rentals.
The motion asked the court
to find Taub In civil contempt,
to require him to post bond to
assure comollance with the
court’s orders, and to compen-
sate victims of discrimination.
If Taub falls to purge him-
self of civil contempt within
five days after a court order,
the motion asked that he be Im-
prisoned and fined dally until
he compiles.

Of Credit
Ends
By VIRGINIA KNAUER
If you are like the millions of
consumers who enter Into loan
contracts each year to finance
large purchases--suchasacar,
furniture or major appliances--
there Is good news for you.
As a result of new action
taken by the Federal Trade
commission (FTC), there will
no longer be clauses in these
contracts that make you pay for
products and services even if
the item you bought was not
delivered or the service not
performed.
starting May 14, 1979, a trad*
regulation rule will go Into ef-
foot that will put a stop to a
legal doctrine that forced con-
sumers to make these payments
in the past. Under the "holder-
in-dus course doctrine," Mil is
called, when a consumer’s loan
oontract was sold by the mer-
chant to a creditor (a finance
company or bank, for example),
the creditor or "holder-ln-due-
course’ was entitled to be paid
by the consumer regardless of
whether the consumer was get -
ting what he paid for.
The way it worked was like
this:
The consumer bought a car,
a swimming pool or someothsr
Item and signed a loan contract
to make payments according to a
certain schedule. This loan
contract was then sold to an-
other company--the "holder-
ln-du*-course"--that had noth-
ing to do with the product Itself
but now owned the contract and
had to be paid by the consumer.
The problem came, of course,
If the purchase proved to be
defective. The consumer would
complain to the seller and If
nothing happened, he might de-
cide to refuse making any fur-
ther payments until his prob-
lems were resolved. However,
under the "holder -1 n - due-
course doctrine," he would find
out that legally he would have
to make these payments or he
would be sued by the creditor
(holder - in - due - course) and
would not have any defense In
court.
To do away with the oneslde-
edness at this situation, FTC
has armed consumers with new
rights that will put them on an
equal footing with the “holder-
ln-due-course" In credit trans-
actions.
Under FTC’s trade regula-
tion rule, sellers will be re-
quired to insert a specific no-
tice In any installment contract
that says as follows:
"Notice. Any holder of this
consumer credit contract Is
subject to all claims and de-
fenses which the debtor should
assert against the seller of
goods and services obtained
pursuant hereto or with the pro-
ceeds hereof."
Though legalistic In wording,
this required notice (to the
lender) preserves your rights
If you have not received delivery
at the product, If it’s broken
or If you were sent the wrong
item and the seller will not
take corrective action. Under
the new FTC rule, you will now
have a legal defense In court
If you decide not to make your
payments and the credit com-
pany tries to sue.
A final word of warning: The
FTC rule does not go into ef-
fect until May, 1976, so be cau-
tious now when signing any loan
contracts. FTC suggsats that
you read the contract carefully
and not sign it if it contains
•waivers of defenses* or other
clauses that restrict your
rights.
Each year the Veterans ad-
ministration provides some
training tor about half of the
nation's 9,000 new phyatciane,
medical residents and medical
student*.
