MADD meeting
Ion DWI laws
If
by Angie Kerr
Battalion Reporter
BProblems within the driving-
while-intoxicated laws will be
p|cussed tonight at a meeting of
the Mothers Against Drunk
Drivers by District Judge Brad
ley Smith, of the local 189th dis-
pct.
|| The meeting will be held at
7130 at the A&M Methodist
Church.
I Dr. Donald E. Clark, vice
president of the local MADD
chapter, said that part of the
problem with drunk driving is
public awareness. Many jurors
laren’t aware of certain quirks in
Texas law, he said.
H “If a person is picked up and
charged with driving while in
toxicated, he can refuse a
breathalyzer test and a blood
test,” Clark said. “When the case
comes to trial, the fact that he
refused the tests cannot be
brought up before the jury.
■ “The jury can’t even know
that he was offered the breath
test.”
h Clark also said that MADD
! members are not just mothers as
the name might suggest.
B “It’s called Mothers Against
fDrunk Drivers because it was
started by a mother, and the
icronym fits nicely,”. Clark said.
MADD was started three
years ago when a woman’s child
was killed in an automobile acci
dent involving alcohol and she
discovered that nothing was
being done about it.
“Customarily, a drunk driver
just gets a slap on the hand, and
is turned loose and back on the
streets again,” Clark said. “It’s
socially acceptable homicide.
“We’re not opposed to drink
ing and we’re not opposed to
driving. We’re opposed to driv
ing while intoxicated.”
A vigil commemorating indi
viduals who died in alcohol-
related automobile accidents last
year in Brazos County will be
held on Sunday at 7 p.m. in
front of the Brazos County
Courthouse. Clark said that
vigils will be conducted all over
the nation Sunday night by
MADD chapters.
Along with MADD, Holli
day’s Ahead Campaign, spon
sored by the Brazos Valley De
velopment Council, wants to
educate the public about social
drinking and its hazards.
Clark said that any organiza
tion interested in becoming
more aware of the hazards of
drinking and driving, or learn
ing how to be a more responsible
party host can call the local
MADD chapter or the Brazos
Valley Development Council.

Now you know
United Press International
A new gel that liquifies when
chilled and solidifies when
warmed has great medical
potential. If impregnated with a
topical drug, for instance, it
could be poured on a skin
wound. There it would harden,
giving support to the damaged
tissue and medicine to the
Wound. Later, it could be re
moved simply by washing it off
with water.
This aqueous gel is called
Pluronic Polyol F-127 and re
searchers at Ohio State Univer
sity believe it has great potential
because, due to its chemical and
physical properties, it readily
gives up the drugs dissolved in
it.
