MADD holds
campaign
for holidays
By Jena Atchison
Reporter
The approaching holiday season
brings thoughts of vacation and re
laxation, and this may mean that
some people will “tie one on”, abus
ing alcohol or driving drunk.
To encourage people to drive
carefully and avoid abusing alcohol
during the holidays, The Brazos
Valley chapter of Mothers Against
Drunk Driving is conducting a “tie
one on” campaign, said Anita Fried
man, an administrative assistant for
MADD.
“Tie one on” in the context of
MADD’s campaign does not mean
another drink, but a reminder — in
the form of a red ribbon — to use al
cohol responsibly.
The local MADD chapter is join
ing the national MADD “red-ribbon
campaign,” Friedman said. The red
ribbon — which will be tied on the
hood ornament, antenna or mirror
of vehicles — is designed to remind
people to be careful when driving
during the Christmas holiday.
MADD is distributing red ribbons in
the community.
“We hope people will tie a red rib
bon on their car to show others they
are hoping for a less violent future,”
Friedman said. “It’s a subtle re
minder to be careful and we hope
people will stop and think when they
see a ribbon.”
Friedman said ribbons are avail
able at the Bryan and College Sta-
don police departments, the Brazos
County Courthouse, the Post Oak
Mall Information Desk, Chimney
Hill Florist and Bally’s Aladdin’s
Castle in the Manor East Mall.
In keeping with this effort, the
College Station City Council plans to
sign a resolution Thursday that will
designate next week as “Drunk and
Drugged Driving Awareness Week.”
To help promote the campaign,
MADD had an entry in Sunday’s
Bryan-College Station parade.
“Both high schools are joining the
campaign,” Friedman said. “The
Students Against Drunk Driving
chapter is distributing ribbons to stu
dents and faculty.
“Many people are involved in this.
We hope it will make a difference.”
Along with the red-ribbon cam
paign, MADD also is involved in the
annual candlelight vigil at the Col
lege Station Community Center, to
be held Monday at 7:30 p.m.
“Every year, in a special way, we
remember those killed in drunk
driving incidents,” Friedman said.
“This year the national vigil will be
in San Antonio.”
Friedman said the national chap
ter of MADD in Hurst sends out
ideas for public-awareness cam-
paignS. She said it is up to individual
chapters of MADD to decide which
campaign they want to sponsor.
But she said the candlelight vigil is
a national event in which all chapters
participate.

Answers to overcrowding
in prisons elude officials
AUSTIN (AP) — Gov. Bill Clem
ents and county judges from Dallas,
Houston and Fort Worth met pri
vately Monday, but failed to find an
answer for county jails that are
jammed with felons awaiting trans
fer to crowded state prisons.
“What we’re trying to do is seek
and find new solutions to an old
problem,” Clements said.
“We’ve exchanged a lot of ideas,”
he said. “Some are acceptable, some
need further exploration.”
Under a hurry-up building plan
now in the early stages, the state will
add about 11,000 beds within two
years. County officials say that will
help, but they said it’s not soon
enough.
“We may look at 20 different ad
ministrative improvements, each of
which has the capacity for Dallas
County to impact 20 to 100 jail
bunks,” Dallas County Judge Lee
Jackson said. “Those things add up
over time, but they’re not as dra
matic as if there were an opportunity
to build a 2,000-bed state prison to
morrow.”
Clements said counties might
have to look at increased use of
work-release programs for non-vio
lent prisoners.
“Those are low-risk prisoners we
are talking about. The alternative to
that is to release more of the higher-
risk prisoners out of TDC (Texas
Department of Corrections),” Clem
ents said.
