INVESTIGATION Although not commenting on the investigation being conducted at the University,' Sargeant Wayne Rowe, head of the Drug Control Division of the State Patrol, outlined the nature of the division's drug investigations in gen eral. "First we try to determine if there has been a violation of the law," Rowe said. "If we do determine this, only the arrest and gathering evidence remains." Forms of evidence include eyewitness accounts, state ments and actual proofs of a crime, he said. EVIDENCE "Evidence is really any thing that proves or dis proves, charges," he added. "We rely primarily on con scientious citizens to report vi olations," he said. "This is a part of their civic responsi bility." Rowe added that "under cover" agents of the police are another form of investigation. Ross had said Wednesday that, to his knowledge, no such "student spies" have been on the University cas put.
