Alcohol program:
be responsible
By JULIE ENNIS
Reporter
Alcoholic beverages have been a
source ol both pleasure and prob
lems since the beginning of man
kind. They have been recognized
throughout the ages as a source of
relaxation and pleasure. Yet history
shows that irresponsible use of alco
hol can be disti nctive to individuals,
families and societies.
In 1981, Texas A&M recieved a
grant from the Texas Commission
on Alcoholism to begin an alcohol
awareness program on campus.
The program is jointly coordi
nated through the Department of
Student Affairs, the Department of
Health and Physical Education and
the Safety Education Program.
)an Winniford, assistant director
of student af fairs, says these three
areas provide a broad-based alcohol
awareness program.
“The program f unctions as a peer
group education experience,” she
says. “Student volunteers, who have
gone through training sessions, lead
presentations and discussions with
student groups and organizations.”
Winniford says the program pre- *
sents a variety of alcohol-related top
ics.
“We have presented topics rang
ing from DWI laws to fetal alcohol
syndrome,” she says. “We aren’t lim
ited and will develop a presentation
to suit the needs of a group or orga
nization.”
The Alcohol Awareness Program
also publishes two booklets designed
help student organizations and the
residence halls plan parties.
“The booklets basically inform
these groups about the legalities and
liabilities involved with alcohol-re
lated parties, and give them party
planning tips like how much food
and alcoholic and non-alcoholic bev
erages should be served,” she says.
She says the Alcohol Awareness
Program is neither condoning nor
disapproving the use of alcohol, but
emphasizing the intellegent use of it.
For the past two years the Alcohol
Awareness Program has sponsored
alcohol awareness presentations to
Fish Camps.
“It’s very important for freshmen
to base their decisions concerning
whether or not to drink on facts
x ather than peer pressure,” she says.
“We just try to give them the facts.”
Winniford says in addition to pre
sentations the program provides
newspapers, pamphlets and flyers
about alcohol and its effect on social,
psychological and physical aspects of
student life.
In September the Alcohol Aware
ness Program will sponsor an alcohol
awareness week.
“One day we plan to set up a non
alcoholic bar at Rudder Fountain,”
she says. “The pina coladas and te
quila sunrises were a big hit last year.
We just want to show people that
non-alcoholic drinks can be very
good.”
Winniford says a driving simula
tor will be brought on campus for
students to test their driving reac
tions in a controlled atmosphere.

CORPUS CHRIST I — Scattered
showers fell Sunday, die second day
of this city’s water rationing plan
forced on residents by an extended
drought.
Lake Corpus Christi is the only
water supply for the city of 235,000
and for a dozen other coastal bend
communities. The lake is currently
at 41 percent of capacity
“I don’t expect that they’re going
to get a whole lot more. The heavier
stuff (rain) is off the coast,” said a
forecaster commenting on Corpus
Christi weather.
The city's water rationing pro
gram, approved last month by the
city council, began Saturday, calling
for strict penalties for those who vio
late its provisions.
Households with one or two resi
dents and everyone in apartments,
mobile homes and duplexes will be
limited to 6,000 gallons of water a
month, with gradual increases for
households with more occupants.
Businesses and industry must
pare down their water use by 25 per
cent from last year’s levels.
People who use more than their
portion of water will have to pay sur
charges ranging up to $25 per thou
sand gallons, and they can have their
water disconnected if they overuse
more than twice their allotment.
Martin said the full impact of the
water rationing program cannot be
gauged until one month has passed
when the next water readings are
made.
