THE U.S. NAVAL ACADEMY'S reaction to an LSD incident involving two upperclassmen this week shows how much the academy has changed since the major cheating scandal there two years ago. Academy officials who met that debacle with a flaccid combination of foot-dragging and denial have been replaced with tougher, more responsible leaders. Their response the drug incident -- a minor embarrassment so far -- was swift, sweeping, candid and designed to get to the root of the problem.First, the Navy did the right thing by acting promptly on a tip that a small group of midshipmen were involved in illegal drug use. These mids face expulsion if they are found guilty, and there seems little doubt the academy will not protect them in that event.

All 4,000 Naval Academy midshipmen were tested for illegal drug use within 48 hours after Navy investigators caught two upperclassmen with LSD at a Glen Burnie motel Sunday, Navy officials said yesterday.The testing was unprecedented in scope and swiftness."In the past, we have tested two companies a week randomly and half the brigade over a couple of days right after a leave period," said academy spokesman Capt. Tom Jurkowsky."While we have no reason at this point to believe more than the two are involved in this, we view this seriously.

Gary Cofflin, regional supervisor of the state police drug enforcement division, said the alleged seller and two buyers were taken to the principal's office and a search of the 17-year-old girl's books revealed marijuana and cocaine, plus a mirror and a razor blade, paraphernalia used in the dealing of drugs.
