To ensure that students adhere to a training program that bars the intake of illegal and performance-enhancing drugs. 3. To assure the safe operation of student-driven vehicles on campus. 4. To undermine the effects of peer pressure by providing an additional legitimate reason for students to refuse to use illegal drugs.
