Texas has the second largest
highway death toll in the nation,
with about 2,694 deaths a year.
The major cause of traffic death is
driving while intoxicated, better
known as DWI. The national per
centage of traffic deaths caused by
DWI is 50 per cent a year and climb
ing.
Research studies indicate that the
DWI offenders are predominantly
working-class males between the
ages of 20 and 54 with a median age
of 37. The Brazos County Probation
Department divides DWI offenders
into different groups.
“The first type of offender is the
‘Party Boy’ DWI, said Fred Maddox,
adult probation officer.
“The Party Boy’ is the offender
who occasionally drinks and drives
on New Year’s Eve, Fourth of July
and other special occasions.”

“The second type of offender is the
‘Dropout,’ a young male that has no
job skills or training and is frequently
arrested for DWI,” he said.
“The third kind of offender is the
Veteran,’ a middle-aged, responsi
ble working alcoholic,” Maddox
said. “This type of person sees the
chances he missed earlier in life and
realizes it is too late for change.”
He said that the last two types of
offenders are the most persistent and
can be helped through a voluntary
rehabilitation process.
In Texas, DWI fines range from
$100 to $5,000. Sentences from 10
days to 2 years in jail. The maximum
sentence is 5 years in prison.
The Texas Department of Public
Safety and local law enforced
ficers are teaming up
DWI offender. The mandaton
screening test is used as a deli ir e -
This test determines alcokij
centages in the blood. Themij
legal percentage of alcohol i
in blood is .08 percent.
Another deterrent is tlie|
test, which also meastim
amount of alcohol consumed
driver. The United States,! isketball
and Australia are the only on
using this test
Other preventive measuresi
study include the lowering^ [offering
blood-alcohol concentration
using random breath-testioj
large scale.

“Seamus Cullen has created a world similar in some
ways to that of Tolkien: it possesses that certain shim
mer. Yet he has done Tolkien one better by making his
world deliriously erotic.
“The tale is both classic and fresh, the story of a quest
beginning ‘once upon a time, many years hence’ when
our world has been reduced to atomized ashes.
