when I was there in 85-87, there were two guys, one a staff member, one a student who were dealing pot out of their rooms - all the people who smoked dope were aware of them - a bunch of the ESL (english as a second language people were their patrons) I found out through a friend who was buying from them. After the city cops got suspicious, the staff guy quit MIU, went to live in town and started dealing in town instead of on campus.
One of the staff women I knew who had a son in MSAE told me that sometime before I arrived, an entire class of MSAE had been suspended for a time cause all of them had gotten busted - the university of course kept it quiet. Her son and a bunch of his classmates, all MSAE students, definitely were having pot parties - his mom caught him at one. You just weren't hanging out with the cool people There was no "drug problem" in the early to mid 80's at MIU. There was the occasional beer that was imbibed and certainly plenty of sex but most of it performed sober. -------------------------------------------- On Tue, 2/4/14, dhamiltony2k5@... <dhamiltony2k5@...> wrote: Subject: Re: [FairfieldLife] So sad To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Date: Tuesday, February 4, 2014, 4:55 AM Last month the Gov of Vermont spent his WHOLE state-of-the-state speech presentation on the drug (heroin) problem. Thank you for not selling drugs and booze to our children,-Buck "Mr. Hoffman gave himself what's called a "Hot Shot". If he knew the stength of the heroin that he was injecting himself then i think he may have commited suicide and if he didn't he was just unlucky. He died before he could get the needle out of his arm which leads me to believe it was probably pure heroin ( meaning it was uncut)." -from NPR feedback
