UNLV' UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA LAS VEGAS July 3, 2001 Paul Moradkhan, President Student Government MSU 160 Box 2009 Dear Paul, I am writing t o ask f o r your assistance in reducing alcohol and other drug abuse and the associated negative consequences at UNLV. The survey I administered Spring 2000, Survey of College Norms £r Behavior, found that UNLV students are at high risk for serious alcohol and other drug problems. Reported alcohol and other drug consequences include: hangovers (33%), falling behind in school work (16%), unprotected sex (12%), and driving a car while under the influence of alcohol (27% within the past 30 days). Results from our CORE Alcohol £r Other Drug Survey, Fall 1998 found t h a t the majority (67%) of UNLV students perceive using alcohol as a way to enhances their social activities, reduces stress (3 7%) and have more fun (53%). Unfortunately, the majority of UNLV students reported they believe the social atmosphere on campus promotes substance use (67% alcohol 33% drug). These finding are validated when considering the use of alcohol and marijuana (82% £r 22%) by students living in the Resident Halls compared with students living off campus (69% £r 13%). If UNLV students' substance abuse does not change they will continue to experience these types of negative consequences. A proven substance abuse intervention is t o provide extracurricular activities, giving students more choices for leisure time, particularly for those students from out of town or not living with their families. Each semester I coordinate a "Natural High" Program designed t o promote health, reduce stress, and introduce fun Student Life Student Counseling & Psychological Services 4505 Maryland Parkway • Box 452005 • Las Vegas, Nevada 89154-2005 (702) 895-3627 • FAX (702) 895-0149 ) activities where t h e use of alcohol or other drugs are clearly incompatible. The "Natural High" Program has been very successful in the past and is growing in popularity. Last semester, the "Natural High" Program activity, for example, was hiking Ice Box Canyon in Red Rock. Some of these students had yet t o see Red Rock even though they had been living in Las Vegas f o r several semesters. Often, students living in the Resident Halls can not afford transportation and activities off campus. Unfortunately, t h e number of students we can offer t h e "Natural High" Program to is limited by our budget constraints. It is imperative we keep the cost low, which mean subsidizing the activity. It is easy t o imagine how difficult it is to sell an expensive natural high activity when the competition across the street is selling $1.00 all you can drink beer. High costing natural high activities can easily look too inconvenient and expensive. It is my hope that participants in t h e "Natural High" Program will learn alternative ways t o socialize, have f u n and relax without depending on alcohol and other drug as their primary source of entertainment. With extra funds we will be able t o provide a healthy, safe and fun experience f r om which participants' interest in t h e chosen activity can grow. I am requesting Student Government to contribute $3,400 toward the expansion of t h e "Natural High" Program for t h e Fall and Spring 2001 £r 2002 semesters. With t h e additional money we could add activities such as bungie jumping, Big Shot rides, horseback riding, sailing/boating, water skiing, go-cart driving, and Wet £r Wild outings. CAPS will continue t o commit $1,500 toward the "Natural High" Program, but an additional $3,400 contributed by Student Government would give us t h e opportunity t o offer many more stimulating activities, which would support more of UNLV student's choice t o be naturally high. The funds will be spent on the following: • Transportation $500 • UNLV bus and van rental fees • Promotional items $600 • Tee shirts, water bottles, hats, key chains... • Advertisement $450 • Fliers, posters, ads in The Rebel Yell, brochures... • Subsidize activity fees $1500 • Horseback riding, bungie jumping, hiking, Big Shot, Lake Mead boat tour... • Beverages £r snacks $350 • Trail mix, fruit, beverages, popcorn, mocktails, sandwiches... Thank you in advance for your consideration and I look forward t o hearing f r om you. Should you have any questions or comments, I can be reach at x3627. Warm regards Arlene Thomas Maurer, LCSW Int.
