VST Plugins in Logic Pro Academic

I have Logic Pro 9, the academic version, and I am attempting to use a vst plugin. I have searched online and found that I need to locate the logic folder and drop the vst plug in I want to use in the vst plugins folder. I cannot seem to find the "vstplugins" folder within the logic folder nor can I find the AU insert where I would choose a vst plugin. Am I too thick to find what I need or is it possible that the academic version does not support this function? If so, is there any other way I could use a vst plugin? Please help!
Much obliged

OK, in Logic, the Help menu, Logic Pro Help, the Logic user manual, do a search for VST for some important info about wraping VST's into AU's (and for Audio Units, also.

[System Drive] > Library > Audio > Plug-ins > VST

Logic cannot use VST plugins, only Apple's AU format.

There used to be a VST wrapper but that was early on, have no idea if it's Snow Leopard compatible.
