percent of all on-campus students —
about 2,000 — will be of legal age
once the new law goes into effect.
And some committee members
feel that no alcohol would provide a
clear cut policy that will be easier to
enforce under the circumstances,
she said*
Most A&M committee members
do not want to take a restrictive view
point because they want students to
learn to be responsible about their
drinking, Winniford said.
“We feel that social drinking is
going to be a natural part of campus
life,” she said, “and that students can
be taught to be responsible in its
use.”
Winniford said the committee is
keeping all its options open. And she
said most of the committee’s dis
cussions have focused on giving stu
dents of legal age the right to drink
in the privacy of their rooms.
Committee members also are
working on ideas for special pro
grams as alternatives to parties with
alcohol.
Theme parties, with food rather
than alcohol, and dormitory compe
titions will be emphasized, Winni
ford said.
The committee is planning an
April workshop to give student lead
ers and residence hall councils a
chance to review the new ideas. A
comprehensive programming guide
will be developed on the issue.
Another of the committee’s goals
is to educate students on the new
laws regarding state alcohol policies.
To do that, the committee has com-
f josed a summary of the new Texas
aws scheduled to take effect next
September.
The new Texas laws make it a mis
demeanor for anyone under the age
of 21 to purchase, consume or pos
sess alcohol, punishable by a Fine of
no less than $25 and no more than
$200 for a First of fense. A second of
fense is punishable by a Fine of $100
to $500.
The same punishment for First
and second offenders also applies if
a minor falsely represents himself as
being 21 or older under the new law.
The 10-member committee is
comprised of four students, one
head resident and representatives
from the departments of Student
Affairs and Student Activities.
Before the law was passed, argu
ments as to whether or not the law
should be enacted were heated, but
that’s no longer the issue, Winniford
said.
“At this point we need to Figure
out how we can best work with the
law and be prepared for it when it
goes into effect,” she said.

■Odv Thursday following a 14-
anth investigation that resulted in
Bizure of about $10 million in
Hetamines and illegal drug lab
Bment, authorities said.
Be drugs and equipment were
IB during a series of raids by lo
cal authorities, the Texas Depart
ment of Public Safety and the Drug
Enforcement Administration in Dal
las, Perryville, Mineola and Hope,
Ark., said Marshall Smith, a spokes
man for the Texas Department of
Public Safety in Tyler.
Other seizures took place near
Lake Cherokee in East Texas and in
Oklahoma, Smith said. The raids oc
curred Tuesday and were an
nounced Thursday.
A Wood County man, identified
as Richard Paul Hass, 34, was held in
Dallas on a federal charge of con
spiring to distribute amphetamines,
authorities said.
Another man, 46, was arrested
during a raid near Mineola on Tues
day, Smith said. David Loyd Tapley
was being held in lieu of $25,000 on
a charge of manufacturing metham-
phetamines, Smith said.
During that raid, officers seized a
complete laboratory and chemicals
capable of making 100 pounds of
amphetamine, Smith said.
