Safety workshops
required for those
cutting for bonfire
By TAMMY KIRK
Staff Writer
People planning to cut timber for
the 7bth Texas A&M Anniversary
Bonfire must attend one of the log
cutting classes at the Grove at 6 p.m.
or 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday and
Wednesday or at 6 p.m. bn Thurs
day of this week, says Scott Lbftin,
head civilian and senior bonfire
coordinator.
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.

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.
