“It starts out rather benign, but it
can build up to be a problem,” Bur
khalter said.
Reasons people drink vary. Clark
says one reason the alcoholic drinks
is a poor self-image.
One alternative to drinking is in
volvement in campus activities, he
said. These include sports and va
rious clubs.
“Non-alcohol abusers are involved
in activities. Alcohol abusers have a
tendency to drop out,” Clark
pointed out.
Treatment for college students
with drinking problems is usually in
the form of individual or group coun

Handicapped treated
equally here- adviser
By CINDY COLVIN
Battalion Reporter
Federal law requires institutions that receive federal funds to
provide services to physically handicapped students equal to
those provided to other students. And Jim Moore, veterans
counselor and adviser for the handicapped, believes Texas A&M
University does a good job.
Moore said that the University provides handicapped stu
dents with an intra-campus shuttle bus service that makes five
stops on campus. The bus is equipped with a wheelchair lift and
stops at Zachry Engineering Center, the commons, the west
campus, Reed McDonald, and at the Intra-campus stop near the
Memorial Student Center. The service operates from 7:30 a.m.
to 5:30 p.m. at no charge.
The law provides that new construction on a campus must be
accessible to physically handicapped students, which is being
done at A&M. Any old buildings,when they are remodeled,
must be made accessible by building ramps or installing chair
lifts. Much of that work already has been done here. Moore said
wheelchair lifts must be installed where ramps cannot be built.
If a handicapped student has trouble getting into a building,
Moore is available to help the student and try to correct the
problem. One such solution, says Moore, is to have a class
attended by a physically handicapped student rescheduled and
assigned to a building where the student can easily enter. He
can also make recommendations to the University to have ramps
built where students need them.
Other problems for the University arise from the law that
protects the handicapped students from discrimination, Moore
said. For example, students learning a foreign language need to
spend a prescribed amount of time listening to lessons in the
language laboratories, but deaf students are allowed to take
written tests to substitute for the recorded lessons. Moore said.

served for them. He also tries to
teach them to deal with problems
without alcohol, he said.
“A lot of people use religious
counseling” as their only form of
mental aid, Burkhalter added.
In the dormitories on campus, it is
mainly resident advisers (RA’s) who
deal with drinking problems.
If a person has a drinking prob
lem, the RA will make a strong sug
gestion for that he seek counseling,
Mears explained.
He doesn’t know how effective
this has been, he said.
Clark remarked that the most suc
cessful of all treatment programs is
Alcoholics Anonymous.
“There’s no cost involved to be
long. The only requirement for
membership is to stop drinking, ” he
said.
and minds, before they join,” Clark
said.
Severe drinking problems can re
quire drastic measures.
“Alcohol withdrawal is probably
worse than most drugs. Barbituates
is probably the only one worse,”
Burkhalter said.
“Only two types of withdrawal can
kill you: Barbituates and alcohol.
“If you drink enough, long
enough, the chemical substance will
take over,” he added. “You become
addicted to it.
“The worse part isn’t the with
drawal, but the social consequ
ences ” Burkhalter said. “Particular
ly for the college student.
Places students may go to seek
help with a drinking problem in
clude the following:
On-campus:

— Academic counseling center in

Clark said he thinks because of
today’s extremely fast living pace, a
drinking problem will bring young
people down faster than it would
have 20 years ago.

NEW YORK — Consumers who
do their grocery shopping after 5
p.m. “tend to be upscale, young and
almost always in a hurry, ” says Joann
Zbytniewksi, a grocery trade maga
zine editor.
More than three-quarters have
full-time jobs, Zbytniewski writes in
a recent issue of Progressive Grocer.
Many shop on their way home from
work. They prefer one-stop shop
ping “and have a mania for getting
into and out of the store quickly.
“Not all after-hours shoppers have
groceries on their minds,” she adds.
A few of those questioned for the
article said supermarkets are great
places to meet people.
“Shopping ignorance, feigned or
inherent, is one method males use to
get sympathetic attention from
female customers.”

District hires tax lawyer
The A&M Consolidated School
Board Monday night approved a new
contract with a local attorney to
handle delinquent taxes for 1980.
The contract is with attorney John
L. Sandstedt of College Station, who
has handled the collection of delin
quent taxes for the district in the
past, said Superintendent Bruce
Anderson.
One of the changes in the new
contract, according to a memo pre
sented to the board, would provide
for a continuation of the contract af
ter the first year.
Previously, such contracts with
Sandstedt have lasted for one year.
The present contract expires on
Dec. 31.
Both contracts — current and
proposed — give Sandstedt six
months after the expiration date to
conclude any litigation relating to tax
collection.
The board also approved modified
bus routes for the current school
year.
Before the semester began, the
district staff drew up projected bus
routes for the year. The revised bus
routes show the mileage driven by
district buses travel to pick up stu
dents.
The bus route revisions are re
quired for approval by the Texas
Education Agency before the school
district can be repaid for bus service.
