Oklahoma State Students focusing up with Adderall HIPSXXHEARTS/FLICKR

Adderall, stimulant abuse putting OSU students on edge

Carlie Hasty Sta ff Rep o rt e r

It’s another all-nighter in the Edmon Low Library as students stock up on coffee, sugary sweets and any other energy stimulant they can get their hands on.

As the demand for wellrounded, busy collegians continues to grow, students are turning to extremes when it comes to staying awake.

One of those extremes is the prescription drug Adderall, which is most commonly known as a way to treat those with hyperactive brain functions. The medication comes in pill form and allows users to focus with greater ease.

However, Kara Niccum with Oklahoma State

University Counseling Services said students who are not prescribed the drug are buying it off friends and classmates for just a few dollars.

“From what I’ve been told, the prices of the pills vary, depending on the time of year,” Niccum said. “During finals and midterms or times of high stress, each individual pill can range from $5-$20.”

Niccum specifies in alcohol and substance abuse, and she said though the university doesn’t track Adderall abuse, she has seen an upward trend in familiarity with the drug.

“I can’t say I’ve seen a large number of students come in solely for stimulant abuse,” Niccum said. “I think it comes as part of a bigger risk-taking tendency.”

Niccum said students occasionally tell her they use Adderall recreationally, but the majority use it as an academic steriod.

“I think that the students I see abusing it tend to be the students who struggle with

the social life and academic balance,” Niccum said.

“They’re probably just students who haven’t evolved in their use of time management and study skills.”

ment freshman, has used Adderall consistently for years, and said she understands why students feel the need to use it.

“I was prescribed in middle school, but I only took

Adderall off and on until I got to high school,” Hunter said. “I needed something stronger to help me get through my workload.”

Hunter said she balances 12 hours on campus and

“College is hard, especially as a freshman because of the adjustment from high school to college,” Hunter said. “Adderall helps me to prioritize my life and get things done now, so it’s very understandable why people take it.”

Although Adderall has side effects that are desirable to college students, such as alertness and appetite control, Niccum said that the long-term effects aren’t worth the risk.

“When you start using Adderall as an academic aid, it becomes your go-to and interferes with your natural ability to develop your coping and learning skills,” Niccum said.

“There’s a perception that it’s not dangerous because it’s a prescribed drug and not a street drug.”

Niccum said because students consume a medication that is not prescribed to them specifically, it has the potential to cause anxiety, hostility, STORY CONTINUES ON PAGE 3

depression and an unhealthy increased heart rate.

The American College Health Association conducts a yearly survey evaluating the overall health of college campuses across the nation.

Oklahoma State participated in the evaluations in past years.

In 2015, a randomized study of 407 participants at OSU who were asked a series of questions about their health choices and habits, focusing primarily on the use and abuse of prescription drugs that had not been prescribed to them within the last year.

The results showed 5.9 percent had used some type of prescription stimulant in the past year that was not prescribed for them but fell under the national average of 7.3 per-

cent of students abusing the same variety of stimulants.

OSU’s numbers have decreased in multiple areas of drug abuse from antidepressants to stimulants since 2014 as the average percentage of students using one more of the selected drug categories fell from 13.3 percent to 11.4 percent in 2015.

The director of University Health Services said the university is doing everything it can to prevent the improper use of Adderall and other stimulants like it. Chris Barlow said the process at UHS is stringent.

“There’s a standardized process that you have to go through to get Adderall,” Barlow said. “You have an evaluation, see a physician, but on campus we also work with counseling services to prescribe people.

You often don’t think about down the road, but you are thinking about how badly you need to get your work done now.”

“Here at Health Services, we have a health education department and within that we have a health education coordinators, and a team of student who target all kinds of issues on campus. We try to teach students what can happen as a result of taking stimulants or similar drugs.”

Barlow said students feel the need to use stimulants or caffeinated drinks to study more or get a paper done, but it can often be counterproductive because it can cause later addictions.

Data from 2007 showed the number of overdose deaths from prescription opioids outnumbered deaths from heroin and cocaine combined, according to a 2014 National Institute on Drug Abuse report.

The NIDA also estimated 2.4 million Americans used prescribed drugs nomadically for the first time, with more than half being female, and of those females, about 1/3 ranged in age from 12-17.

Hunter said though she has needed the medication to help her focus on a day-today basis, she is aware of the growing addiction on campus.

“You often don’t think about down the road, but you are thinking about how badly you need to get your work done now,” Hunter said. “We want to know what other people are doing, and we want them to accept us. “ Niccum said that students also tend to forget the detrimental legalities that come with illegally buying and distributing medications. With a large amount of students on and off campus, it’s common a few students can slip under the radar.

But Barlow said stimulant abuse isn’t only an on campus issue.

“I think that if you look at data on a national level, there is a growing prescription drug abuse in general, and this is one piece of that,”

Barlow said. “This whole phenomenon of prescription drug abuse isn’t just campus wide or Oklahoma wide, it’s a growing national issue.”

Abuse of prescription drugs is highest among young adults from 18 to 25, according to the NIDA. “We live in a culture where a quick fix is the desired outcome, and often times that quick fix comes in a pill form,” Niccum said.

Niccum said the demands on students to chase that state of being good enough is primarily what she see’s causing the intake.

“College is such a time of growth, and a place to develop yourself,” Niccum said. “Introducing drugs to this growth really skews your perception, especially

with Adderall because it makes you assume that you can’t study or perform well without it.”

Niccum said her best advice for students is to take on less and learn to say no.

“We have to combat those societal expectations to perform, perform, perform, or achieve, achieve, achieve,” Niccum said. “You really have to look at the way you perceive yourself.”

Barlow said it’s hard to combat the drug with OSU patient population.

“We’re such a large campus, but we just have to keep educating as best we can,” Barlow said. f o l l o w o c o l ly : @ o c o l ly

OSU PART OF GLOBAL EFFORT TO KEEP FOOD SAFE FROM FARM TO FORK Oklahoma State University’s Jason Young, quality management specialist for OSU’s Robert M. Kerr Food & Agricultural Products Center (FAPC), is scheduled to leave for Berlin, Germany Sunday for the Global Food Safety Conference next week. WThe conference is part of the Global Food Safety Initiative, which strives for continuous improvement of foodsafety management systems to ensure safe food and consumer confidence.

Young, the only attendee from Oklahoma, is a member of the GFSI Technical Working Group for Regional Outreach.

These groups are composed of experts from retailers, manufacturers, food-service operators, service providers, standard owners, certification bodies, accreditation bodies and industry associations. They provide technical expertise and advice to the GFSI board, work independently on a range of

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 2016

food-safety topics, and come together three times a year to share knowledge and discuss their work.

“Part of our objective is to help GFSI establish an application process to form new regional groups. Additionally, we want to construct a method for the groups to be sustainable and directed by a local team with support from GFSI.” With a growing demand for safe quality food products, the need for food-safety programs is more important than ever. Professionals within FAPC, a part of OSU’s Division of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources, recognized this need and embraced the opportunity.

Oklahoma’s food-industry leaders and FAPC’s Industry Advisory Committee, center faculty and staff implemented a Global Food Safety System program to assist Oklahoma food companies in meeting GFSI requirements.

This program focuses on food-industry assistance in training, auditing, pre-third-party audit preparations, education, and in-plant technical assistance for food safety and quality programs.

Young helps food companies by conducting internal audits.

“Globalization of the food industry has significantly affected almost every Oklahoma food processor directly and indirectly with mandated food-safety and security regulations and policies that cut across all food-processing sectors,” says Chuck Willoughby, FAPC manager of business and marketing relations.

“Our FAPC Global Food Safety System program provides services to meet the foodsafety and security needs of Oklahoma’s food industry.”

Since establishing the program in 2011, Young has assisted 12 companies and provided more than 600 hours of GFSI services. With Young’s help, nine companies have passed their GFSI audits.

FAPC’s program is continually growing, leading to fewer food-safety incidents with the implementation of these systems.

BLAST ROCKS WHITEHURST HALL In the late morning of November 13, 1936, the campus was shaken by a natural gas explosion at Whitehurst Hall. Four individuals were hospitalized after the blast ripped through a six-inch-thick concrete floor above an underground tunnel. As a result of the blast, new state laws were passed that required all gas lines enter a building above ground and that an odor had to be added to natural gas to help detect leaks. Renovation work on the building included the addition of a fourth floor in 1937.

My brother was diagnosed with cancer last year and that is how I got involved with the program. They reached out to my family and he got to go to a football and basketball game.

He got to tour the locker rooms and actually got to try on Mason Rudolph’s helmet. At the basketball game he got to meet Eddie Sutton and they became really good friends.

Just recently he was announced at a wrestling match. They go through so much everyday through chemo or radiation and its just great to be able to put a smile on their face.

Teeters’ powerful journey nearing its end OSU Track What: Big 12 Championships When: Friday through Saturday Where: Lied Recreation Center in Ames, Iowa

M at t McClain Spo rts R ep o rt e R

It was the first time anyone saw the sheer power of John Teeters.

Teeters was a freshman at the University of Tulsa. It was the offseason, and Teeters was working on lower body strength.

Tulsa sprints coach Clif Mitchell told Teeters to squat whatever weight he lifted in his summer workouts. Other athletes in the weight room caught Mitchell’s attention. Mitchell looked back at Teeters 15 minutes later.

There was 420 pounds on Teeters’ bar.

Mitchell was shocked because Teeters had never done lower body lifting until six weeks before getting to campus.

“John,” Mitchell said.

“What are you doing?”

“What do you mean,

coach?” Teeters said. “I did 500 over the summer.”

Teeters went from never squatting to lifting 500 pounds in six weeks.

It was freakish, Mitchell said.

The sheer power on display that day can be seen on the track when Teeters is running as a Cowboy at the Oklahoma State University Track and Field Complex.

When Teeters came to OSU, there wasn’t a sprints coach.

It wasn’t a problem because others had sprinted for the Cowboys without a coach. In fact, OSU didn’t have a sprint coach for 30 years. Then, Teeters’ new mentor, Diego Flaquer, was hired a week after Teeters joined OSU track.

The coach and athlete relationship started by chance and has blossomed into

something special.

“When you have a coach and athlete relationship like me and John have, it’s much more complex than just telling a person what to do,” Flaquer said. “We look at our situation more as we thrive off of each other’s energy, passion, direction and our vision for what it is that we want him to accomplish here and beyond in his career.”

That vision has been turned into reality.

Teeters has steadily im-

CAB OSU .pdfhis 1career 1/27/16 proved throughout as a Cowboy.

He broke the OSU record in the indoor 60 meters in his first season.

Teeters’ outdoor season was better. He took third and ran an OSU-record 9.91 seconds in the 100 meters in the Big 12 Outdoor Championships.

Teeters cemented his legacy in the 2015 indoor season.

He ran a school-record 6.52 seconds in the 60 meters and finished second at the NCAA Championships.

The powerful sprinter has maintained his time at a collegiate best 6.52 seconds this season.

“We changed our training and polished some technique,” Teeters said. “I’m a power sprinter, so I was focused on weights. To get to 3:03 PM gear, we needed to the next lay off the weights and work

on some other things.”

Teeters’ work has led up to the next three weeks.

He will compete in the Big 12 Championships on Friday and Saturday and in the NCAA Championships on March 11-12.

Winning would be a powerful end to a powerful career.

“It would mean everything,” Teeters said. “I’ve hit something good, but something was missing every time. I never ran 6.5, win a national title and run the fastest time of the year.

I’ve never done all of those so the next step is to take home a title.”

The O’Colly is independent from the university and entirely student run, with more than 100 students on payroll. A staff of three professionals advise, guide, educate and provide support.

The O’Colly is governed by the Student Media Board, which is made up of faculty, staff, students and Oklahoma media members.

In 2015, the O’Colly was honored for the fourth year in a row as Oklahoma’s best college newspaper by the Oklahoma Press Association.
