The first bonfire cutting weekend begins Saturday, he says. Work be gins at 8 a.m. at the Grenada Cattle Co., but no one will be allowed on the site unless he has a safety card, Loftin says. “The cards are issued at the safety classes which only last about 30 to 45 minutes,” Loftin says. Greg Royal and Joe Janssens, Corps of Cadets members in Squad ron 6 and senior coordinators of the safety classes, say even if the stu dents have attended the safety classes before, they need to renew their cards for this year. Ax safety, chain saw usage and how to safely cut down trees and limbs are a few topics to be discussed at the classes, Janssens says. Loftin adds that the classes will teach basic common sense in carrying and using the instruments. “We had some accidents last year due to the rainy weather and people playing around,” Loftin says. “We want to make this the safest bonfire yet.” Rides out to the cutting site are by private vehicle again this year, Lof tin says, and directions to the site will be given at the classes. In the past, 18-wheeler, fiat-bed trucks used to provide transporta tion tb the sites, but as a safety mea sure in 1981 the trucks were elimi nated for this purpose, Loftin says. The trucks still haul the loads of logs from the cutting site to the Univer sity. Several coordinators will be at the site tb help with bonfire, Loftin says. The “redpots,” Loftin being one of them, are eight senior studerits in charge of bonfire construction. The “brownpots,” next in the hierarchy, are five senior students in charge of division coordination. For example, there is a coordinator for each of the three major divisions of the Corps—- BATTALION FILE PHOTO regiment, wing and brigade — and two civilian cbordinators. Next in line are the “yellowpots” whb coordinate the dorms ana the bff-campus Aggies and are Chosen according to the number of people in each of these divisions. Library to hold book collectors' contest By NELDA PENA Reporter If the majority of books on your bookshelf deal with a hobby or par ticular interest, you might consider entering them in a contest. The Friends of the Sterling C. Evans Library is sponsoring the 13th Annual Student Bbok Collectors’ Contest to promote interest in the li brary, says Rosemary Rousseau, con test chairman. The contest is open to all students currently enrolled at Texas A&M. “They (contestants) Can be staff members if they are students,” she says. Four $250 awards and a $50 li brary faculty honorable mention award will be presented, Rousseau says. The Library Binding Com pany, Mavis and Mary Kelsey, Charles Thurston and the Gould- Hoffman Memorial have donated the awards which will be given to the four winners. The group hopes that the increase in award money from last year’s $100 to this year’s $250 will draw more entries to the contest, she says. “The jump is one way of getting people interested in book collec tions,” she says. Rousseau stresses that the collec tion of books does not have to be old or rare. Past collections have been on such varied topics as horses, Ameri can history and science fiction. She says she is confident that there will be a wider variety of subjects in this year’s contest. “I believe one winning selection happened to be on chocolate,” Rous seau says. She says it is important that each contestant enters his own collection of 25 titles. “Last year, some contestants had to be rejected because they didn’t follow instructions,” she says. A typewritten list of the 25 titles and a snort description of the entire collection must accompany the entry form, Rousseau says. Examples of the contest entry requirements are available at the library reference desk. The entry deadline is 5 p.m. Oct. 18. Entries, bibliographies and col lection descriptions can be submitted to a member of the contest commit tee, she says. Contest committee members Rousseau, Don Dyal, Joyce Hood, Mikey King, Tim Prather and Mar garet Sylvia will accept completed entry forms in their offices at Ster ling C. Evans Library, Rousseau says. A panel of three local judges will announce the winning entries Nov. 1 in the conference suite of the library. It is imperative that all 25 books be on the same subject, Rousseau says. , “The judges will be looking for a unifying theme in deciding win ners,” she says. Rousseau says she has been Spending a lot of time planning and preparing for the event. A luncheon for the Friends of the Sterling C. Evarts Library and judges will be held prior to judging. A reception following the results of the contest will also be held. “Dr. Arnold Krammer of the his tory department will be the speaker for the ceremony,” she says. “We’re real excited about that.” Library visitors may view the win ning entries in the display cases on the first floor far two weeks in No vember, Rousseau says. Entry forms may be obtained in 110 Sterling C. Evans Library. Foday is Monday, Sept, 30. the 273rd day of 1985.

In 1927, Bal homer of the season to t own rw‘ Teenage alcoholic overcomes problems, graduates with honors Associated Press • SAN ANGELO — Deanna Am- burn didn’t let her drinking and drug abuse stop her from making straight A’s and being a varsity ath lete in school. Then last spring the alcohol and drugs caught up with the 18-year- old. She had to face the fact: her life was Out of control. “I was addicted to drugs, had ano rexia and bulimia and I was suicidal, and I thought I was just drinking too much,” she sakL While many alcoholics prefer to remain anonymous, Deanna has found she can better deal with her alcoholism and drug addiction by being candid with her friends and by helping others who might have the same problem. Bonnie Amburn, Deanna’s mother, said she and her husband, Gharles, are totally supportive of their daughter in her recovery. “She is handling what has hap pened to her very well,” Mrs. Am burn said. “She has decided that the way she needs to handle this is with total honesty.” The spring graduate of San An gelo Central High School said: “I started drinking and smoking pot when I was 13 and taking speed when I was ,15.” She gradually drank more, until she consumed a 12-pack of beer on days she drank or a half-fifth of li quor at parties. She said she would drink at night, then take ampheta mines in the morning to stay awake in class. She also began sniffing paint, all the while maintaining good grades and playing on the varsity volleyball team. “We never suspected the drinking was as heavy as it was, and knew nothing about the drugs,” her mother said. “I have learned since we have been through this they can be cunning. They’ll only let you know what they want you to know.” Deanna remembered the first time she drank alcohol. It was at a party hosted by high school students at a lake. “The main reason I started drink ing is I was always a shy person,” she said. “At the party I had threO beers, and I had fun that whole time talk ing to people. “I would never go up and talk to a guy unless I was drinking. That’s the reason most people start — they ei ther want to get over their shyness, or somebody tells them that’s what everybody else is doing, SO they ought to be doing it, too. “My home life was pretty good, I guess. I didn’t do it at home, but I came home that way. But I guess my parents never knew about it or sus pected it.” She has one older brother. “He drinks, but not very much at all.” She said her parents drink “maybe once a year.” Mrs. Amburn said it was the end of November when she and her hus band began to realize Deanna had a problem. “We knew she was going to parties, knew kids do try to drink when they are teen-agers. “It seemed like the pressure was building up for Deanna. There were lots of offers for scholarships. As the pressure built up near the end of school, she pitnicked. Our pride in her made a lot of pressure, too.” Deanna said: “I was coming home drunk a lot, going out during lunch at school and drinking with friends.” Then she was suspended from sports. Soon after that, Deanna and her parents decided she should get help. She was taken to BrOokwood Recov ery Center Villa de Tejas in San An tonio and admitted to the adolescent unit for a 42-day treatment pro gram. Deanna does not pretend that she is not art alcoholic. Part of her on going therapy is working with others who abuse alcohol and drugs. Deanna worked part-time this summer and plans to attend barber college. Next year she plans to at tend ASU, applying for an athletic scholarship. This summer, Deanna she was no tified by the National Merit Founda tion she graduated in the top 3 per cent of high School seniors.
