COLORADO: MORE TESTING FOR CADETS
The United States Air Force Academy has stepped up drug testing and is
putting more classroom emphasis on ethics as it deals with the biggest drug
scandal in its 47-year history. Thirty-eight cadets out of 4,300 have been
implicated in the case, which mainly involves the use of Ecstasy and
marijuana. In addition, six cadets have been charged or convicted of crimes
like sodomy and larceny, including the former president of the class of
2003, who is accused of stealing $9,000 from a class activity fund.
