Amy, a UNC sophomore whose name has been changed to protect her privacy, has been selling her prescription Adderall since high school.
Substance
use
Tricky business
Amy said shes known friends
to trick their way into a prescription for Adderall, for the purpose
of recreational use or sale.
Theyll tell their parents that
theyve been having problems
focusing in school, she said. And
so theyll go see their pediatrician, or their doctor, or see a psychiatrist and act distracted and
walk out 10 minutes later with an
Adderall prescription.
But Mary Covington, director of
UNC Campus Health Services, said
thats no longer a concern at UNC.
In Aug. 2013, Campus Health
implemented new policies regarding stimulant medication, and
Covington said shes confident the
new protocols prevent the type of
fraud that Amy described.
For someone to come in and
say, I think I have ADHD and
expect to get a prescription, is not
founded on what needs to happen, Covington said.
For students to walk out of
Campus Health with a prescription
for ADHD medication, they must
first complete a series of psychoeducational tests, such as IQ and
academic and attention testing.
There was a time that people
would come in and say, I think I
have ADHD, just by history, and
say, This happens to me; this happens to me; this happens to me,
therefore I have it, Covington said.
The battery of tests combats
that, she said. They are administered by a psychologist and take
several hours to complete, but
Covington said they ensure the
medication gets to the right people.
Covington said students also

In 2011, researchers at the University of Maryland studied how common it was for college students
to be offered and to use prescription stimulants during the school year at each college grade level.

ADVICE COLUMN
TO THE EDITOR:
The saddening rhetoric
in Mondays front page
article on panhandling
reflects a nationwide culture that values capital
over human beings.
I personally know and
work with many of the
women and men in Chapel
Hill who are victims of
cyclical poverty. They are
forced onto the streets in
search of income out of
economic necessity, and I
can say with certainty that
not a single one of them
wants to be panhandling on
Franklin Street; no one is
earning a living wage.
I want to remind our
community that these people are not panhandlers,
bums and vagrants.
That is not their identity.
They are human beings
who are experiencing poverty and are deserving of
respect and dignity that
means not removing them
because you believe they
are inconvenient.
I agree wholeheartedly with Bret Oliverio that
there must be a fundamental change in the way
panhandling is treated to
end it, but I also know that
criminalizing the poor is
not the solution.
People panhandle
because they lack a sustainable means of income.
Arresting these people
tarnishes their records,
thereby decreasing their
likelihood of obtaining
employment and increasing
the likelihood that they will
be forced to panhandle in
the future.
Our community is
privileged to have so many
organizations dedicated to
alleviating poverty, and we
should continue to support
them, but they cannot end
poverty single-handedly.
If we earnestly desire
to solve the problem of
poverty, we must first open
our hearts to the members
of our community who
are most vulnerable and
change the culture that
criminalizes and dehumanizes the poor.
TO THE EDITOR:
On April 13, I was contacted by a staff writer for
The Daily Tar Heel regarding an interview for a story
about the rededication of
The Gift that took place
Friday at 11 a.m.
Although I happily
answered her questions and
gave her as much information as I could, I must admit
that I am highly disappointed (once again) in the DTH.
Over the past few
months, we have seen
increased media presence
from the DTH regarding
Native American issues
around campus. As the
president of the Carolina
Indian Circle, I am thank-
Apathy is encouraged
by General Assembly
TO THE EDITOR:
This is a response to
the editorial urging young
people to vote.
Voting habits are hard
to attribute to one thing
definitively. People can pick
up habits from their friends,
parents, educators, church
or really anywhere else.
Regardless of where they are
picked up, one thing remains
true: If you want young people to vote, you have to teach
them their voice matters.
This is where North
Carolina is failing.
The General Assembly
of North Carolina decided
that preparing young
people was not something
it wanted to pursue. Early
voter registration programs,
which were designed to get
16- and 17-year-olds ready
for the polls, were shut
down. The same set of rules
also ban same-day registration. Two different regulations which have the effect
of curbing the youth vote.
These same set of regulations do not only harm
the young. The voting laws
disproportionately affect
minority groups.
It is important to realize
who made these regulations. A Republican majority passed the bill, and the
Democratic voter base is
the one most affected. The
right to vote shouldnt be
a partisan struggle. It isnt
that the General Assembly
doesnt care about the
youth vote, but rather they
are afraid of it.
The mantra of One
voice, one vote isnt in affect
in North Carolina. Young
people will continue to be
apathetic, at least in part
because thats what the system we are in encourages.

Martha Isaacs, a member of UNCs

women have not chosen IUDs and
implants as their form of birth control is because they arent as accessible as other methods.
(Long-term birth control) requires
a doctor and usually cannot be
inserted personally, so this limits users
because they have to identify a health
care provider and spend the time and
money on getting it inserted, she said.

Faculty Executive
Committee members discussed new specialized education proposals for UNC athletes when they met Monday.
The proposals, headed by
committee member Erianne
Weight and professor Rudi
Colloredo-Mansfeld, include
an onboarding course to be
taken in an athletes first
semester on campus and an
elite or applied performance
minor for athletes.
Following the release of the
Wainstein report, Weight wrote
a column for the Chronicle of
Higher Education about how
the academic-athletic situation could be improved. She
said some of her ideas sparked
interest from others and have
transformed into a four-part
proposal.
I often wonder why I am
doing this, but I come back
to comparing what is to what
could be, Weight said. I see
tremendous impact potential
that could be life-changing.
Weight said she was a student-athlete at the University
of Utah, and she received
some class credit for her time
on the field. She also said
she took a sports psychology
course just for athletes and
it was the richest education
experience of her life.
