And 57 percent welcomed information that would persuade their children not to do so. The study was conducted for the Partnership for a Drug-Free America by Audits Surveys Worldwide, a market research company in New York. This survey, like one done two years ago, was based on confidential questionnaires in schools and homes across the country. Six earlier surveys done by another company had relied on encounters with young people in shopping malls.

"We find parents strongly antidrug and committed to their children's non-use," the survey said. "However, we do find that parents are suffering from a 'not my kid' syndrome." As evidence that greater parental involvement discourages drug use, the survey found that teenagers were twice as likely to use marijuana in the past year if they had not learned about the risks from their parents. But one-third of the.

Rio's Lagoas de Fre-ites overflowed, flooding cross streets and trapping residents who were trying to reach the city center. Another week of flooding across many parts of South Africa killed at least 42 people, mainly in the north and east of the country. Due to two months of drought-breaking rainfall, the Vaal Dam, which serves Johannesburg, has gone from 14 percent of capacity to overflowing since early December.

The government dispatched 39,000 soldiers to conduct rescue operations in the worst-affected parts of the country, including the normally temperate Black Sea coast. Heavy snow and icy winds also affected much of Turkey, Bulgaria and Romania. Unusually cold weather this season has killed hundreds of rare birds in Ukraine, and threatens horses and goats with starvation in the overcrowded Askaniya-Nova nature preserve. Sbark-off An electronic device developed by a South African inventor is being touted as the first effective repellent against man-eating sharks.

Australian diver Valerie Taylor told reporters at the invention's unveiling in Durban that "there is tremendous potential of not just turning away sharks and saving lives, but also in saving the lives of the sharks. The "Shark-off" device, due to be commercially available in May, comes in two parts. One is strapped to a diver's air tank and the other to a flipper. An electric field generated between them has been proved to provide a save zone of up to seven yards in tests by Taylor and her husband, Ron, at various underwater locations. Tropical storm A weak tropical cyclone formed over northern Australia's Gulf of Carpentaria and was expected to dissipate over the Cape York Peninsula late in the week.

Cyclone 13P packed maximum sustained winds of only about 40 mph at the height of the storm's intensity. Indian elk NILE, Wash. (AP) Marcie Desserault and three friends slowed their snowmobiles to watch a herd of elk that were drawn to a state-operated feeding station. As they turned a corner, they saw a dead elk, shot by a Yakama Indian hunter, in the back of a truck. "To hunt is one thing, but to watch them eat at what should be a safe place and then say, 'I guess I'll take that one just seems wrong," Desserault said.

The Jan. 27 killing of two bull elk near the feeding station has set off protest meetings and letter-writing campaigns by more than 100 non-Indian residents of the Chinook Pass area, southeast of Mount Rainier in the Cascades. Yakima County Prosecutor Jeff Sullivan is considering whether to file charges against the hunter, former Yakama tribal police chief Joe. Young.

Bunny power Scientists at the Australian National University in Canberra have designed a silent, self-fueling and environmentally friendly lawn mower powered by rabbits. Visiting fellow Dr. Nigel Wace built a rolling rabbit run from recycled bicycle wheels, large-gauge wire, netting and buckets. Powered by Flotsam and Jetsam, two large male rabbits, the device is rolled to new pastures after the rabbits have nibbled the lawn beneath them, fertilizing as they go. Water and feed supplements are also given to the animals.

Earlier trials involving a male and female rabbit were abandoned because the animals kept having sex. Additional Sources: Australian Bureau of Meteorology.

Non-Indian hunters also complain that while they are limited to hunting "spikes," young male elk with single-prong antlers, the Yakamas are killing mature breeding bulls with five- and six-prong racks. "It's awful pathetic when the state and hunters in Washington want to preserve what elk we have and they're (Yakama hunters) allowed to come in here and kill our breeding bulls," said Rick Law, owner of Squaw Rock Resort in Nile. "They even had the nerve to ask the people feeding the elk if they'd help them load the elk into their truck." Sheriffs Deputy Paul Wilson said he hopes the tribe is embarrassed by the public outrage. "It's not all the Indians doing this. It's just a few.

But it gives all the Indians a black eye," Wilson said.

Non-Indian hunters see if from a different perspective.

"It's more of a moral issue than their ceded rights. The way they're taking these elk right off a feeding station where they're trying to survive, it's not fair to the animal or the sportsman," said Todd Huck, a Naches or-chardist and hunter. "That's why people are upset," said John McGowan, a state wildlife official in charge of the elk feeding station. "It just goes against their sense of morality that we attract them down here and feed them and then someone harvests them." Some hunters complain elk hunting shouldn't be allowed at all under the treaty because the animals aren't indigenous to this part of Washington but are descended from a small herd shipped in from Wyoming in 1913.

government. The Yakamas have 8,000 registered members, most of them living on a reservation in the area. Under their treaty, they can hunt year-round within the 10 million acres of central Washington that they ceded to the federal government. The tribe retained rights to fish, hunt and gather medicinal plants on that land, now a checkerboard of federal and private property used mostly for logging. For non-Indian hunters, elk season lasts only a week to 10 days in November.

Archery hunting is also allowed at various times. Young defended his killing of the two elk. "This treaty gives us our right," he told the Yakima Herald-Republic. "We can hunt, fish sought $5 million in damages. Jacquelyn Allen, the mother of Tim Allen, 20, one of the plaintiffs, called the settlement a "blessing" and a vindication for the young people.

She said they were labeled as troublemakers because of racial prejudice in Union Point, which is 43 percent black. Each of the 16 plaintiffs will get $10,000, while five people who did not join the suit will get $1,000 each. The two lawyers representing the plaintiffs will get $44,000 each plus expenses.

Merchants and elected officials have settled a lawsuit brought by more than a dozen local residents who were banned from local businesses because they were thought to be troublemakers.

The residents, all of whom are black and most of whom are in their teens and 20s, sued 16 businesses 'and the town. The plaintiffs said that being named on the list when they had never been convicted of a crime violated their civil rights. The list was posted in December 1994, and rescinded in February after the federal suit was brought Under the settlement, the defendants agreed to pay $265,000 in damages and attorneys' fees.

No one was seriously hurt political level where political ambitions prevent them from actually taking a Western, democratic and objective approach." The war-ravaged economy is another source of concern.

Only a minute fraction of people earn decent salaries, governments have little revenue, most factories are idle, foreign aid ha been patchy. The woes will worsen as tens of thousands of soldiers leave the army and begin seeking jobs. Unless the demobilized, and often traumatized, soldiers see that peace is worthwhile, war nostalgia could arise, Steiner-said. Then there's the ticking clock. IFOR's 60,000 soldiers have only a one-year mandate, and little chance exists NATO will extend it, although some smaller international force might step in.

On paper, the peace accord creates a unified Bosnia, grouping together a Serb republic and a Muslim-Croat federation. But the Serbs have severed contacts with the federation and the federation itself is in trouble. Croats in Mostar have balked at efforts to reunify the southwestern city devastated by Muslim-Croat fighting there in 1993-94. One reason is continued Croat animosity toward Muslims; another is the influence of crime gangs and corrupt police in Croat-ruled west Mostar who flourish in a divided city. The NATO-led force has no mandate to grapple with Croat-Muslim tensions, since the two sides nominally are allies.

Walker said it wouldn't do any good anyway "to bang their heads together" if there were no goodwill. Many of the military and Chilian experts deployed in Bosnia sense ordinary people are more open to reconciliation than their leaders.

Sir Michael Walker, commander of NATO-led ground forces, said all three sides have cooperated well in military aspects of the peace plan. He gave them a grade of 90 percent But he acknowledged it can be frustrating to see non-military problems arising that could unravel the successes. Like Steiner, Walker cited the often halfhearted commitment to peace displayed by political leaders. "They are not indicating that they want peace at any price," he said in his headquarters in Flidza, a tea Serb suburb outside Sarajevo.
