There aren’t that many people living in this country so most people are affected directly by at least one alcoholic.” Locally, the Center for Drug Pre vention and Education is sponsoring Drug Awareness Week Monday through Friday at Texas A&M, CDPE coordinator Dennis Reardon said. An open house is scheduled for today from 1:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the A.P. Beutel Health Center. “At the open house, we are going to talk to University and community people who have shown an interest and support in the center,” Reardon said. “We’ll let them see our offices to see that we are open for business and help them understand how we can interface with their different areas and different agencies. We will also try to help them deal with the prevention of alcohol and drug use problems.” CDPE also is having a drug- awareness game show at noon on Thursday in the MSC Flag Room. “It is going to be similar to the game show on MTV in the af ternoon,” Reardon said. “Our host and moderator is going to be Charles Goodman from student ac tivities. CDPE works to inform students and educate them about drug and alcohol abuse. “One of our efforts is to train peo ple — students in particular — as peer presenters to take the informa tion out to these organizations,” Reardon said. “Since the pressure to use alcohol and drugs comes from peers, then the information about how not to use drugs (and) how not to use alcohol irresponsibly should come from peers also.” CDPE also has alternatives for stu dent involvement other than drugs and alcohol, Reardon said. “Sometimes it is reported to us that students turn to drugs and alco hol abuse as a way to alleviate the bo redom and stress of the everyday pressures of university life,” Rear don said. “We are going to try and have a list of organizations that we can match people up with to get them involved with something that would not necessarily include alco hol or drugs as recreation.” Reardon explained that in educat ing the students, the legal risks are also a concern. “There are legal risks, personal safety risks and safety risks to other people in the society,” Reardon said. “That’s why we have laws for alco hol, drug abuse and DWIs to keep control over it.” Baas said that according to na tional statistics, from 9 p.m. Friday until 10 a.m. Sunday, every week end, one-third of drivers have been drinking and every fifth driver is in toxicated. “The people who get DWIs are just the unlucky ones," Baas said. Baas said caffeine and nicotine are the primary entry drugs, fol lowed by alcohol and marijuana. “I’d say in our society, caffeine is the most abused drug,” Baas said. “Especially among students wii of the aspirin, Coke, coffee chocolate they consume." Reardon said CDPE also wil velop educational material tobek in a resource library. “The resource developmem dissemination will involve ourea lishment of a library of resource eluding video tapes, research ties, books and pamphlei Reardon said. “This information lx* used by students, faculty and to build their knowledge anda»ti ness of the alcohol and drugats problem.” Reardon said the information be available for checkout, the p; phlets will be free and centers cials will he more than willingtoh a student with a presentationfe class.

The three speakers were part of the Women in Business symposium sponsored by the College of Busi ness Administration. The Executive Women of Dallas is an organization of about 100 women who provide information, give ca reer guidance and serve as role mod els for students. Lanelle Latendresse, Executive Vice President of the Lomas & Net- tleton Financial Group, helped found the company in 1960. It went from less than 10 people to a na tional corporation, Latendresse said. Before founding the Lomas & Net- tleton Financial Group, Latendresse worked for a title agency, a titled in surance agency, a real estate agency and a property management com pany. “I’m probably the only member of Executive Women who didn’t grad uate from college,” Latendresse said. “But I made it anyway.” Latendresse said there were two things in life. Living as social crea tures and relating to others is one, she said. The other is financing the process, she said. “We all have to make choices,” La tendresse said. Ka Cotter, Executive Vice Presi dent and Manager of the Corporate Services Division of The Staubach Company, agreed with Latendresse. Both she and her husband have careers, she said. “We felt we could handle a family as well,” she said. “Both of us were from a traditional background.” Cotter said she and her husband decided that she should stay home for a few years until they felt com fortable with her returning to work. She stayed home for five years and returned to work in the late ’70s. “I had lost a lot of confidence as far as my business confidence was concerned,” Cotter said. “ I was shot down lots of times.” She said she felt guilty leaving her children, especially when people told her .that she should be home with them. “Mothers invented guilt,” she said, laughing. Camille Keith, vice president of special marketing for Southwest Air lines, said a career, friends and fam ily responsibilities and concerns can be a juggling act. “I tell you that, not to be a downer on life, but to tell you that life is real,” Keith said. Latendresse said time manage ment is very valuable. “Take a pencil and paper and write down all the responsibilities of both career and personal life,” La tendresse said. “Then write down the things you don’t have in your life that you would like to have life. The important thing, I feel, is to be flexi ble. “It’s up to you to decide what you want.” Latendresse said the speakers’ purpose was to help students set priorities. “We increasingly hear the phrase ‘women want to have it all,’ ” she said. “I’m sorry to say I don’t think you can have it all. “If you’re trying to be all things to all people in your personal life, de cide who’s important to you and spend time with those people.” Communication is the key, Laten dresse said. Good communication with the family should be main tained, she said. Keith said that one must contin ually prove himself to his company and his peers. She said that people also want to give back to the higher being in their lives. “Some of the things that happen we cannot control,” Keith said. “Fortunately we all have within us the ability to stretch far — the ability to go further.” In a question-and-answer session after the discussion, Keith said the time to deal with problems is when they first start. “To my way of thinking, it’s all goal-setting,” she said. Cotter had strong feelings about authority. “I think pow’er and authority aren’t given to people,” Cotter said. “They are earned.” If you help someone get what they want, it will come back to you, Cotter said. Latendresse described the best way to deal with job discrimination. “Ignore as much as you can and keep going,” she said. Cotter expanded on the topic of dealing with discrimination. “You cannot fight it,” Cotter said. “If your defenses come up and you attack, you lose,” she said. “You always lose.” Cotter said that one should sort out what is really important and then get help from those around him. Society will get better about de stroying stereotypes in the working world, Cotter said. Latendresse said it was important for people to plan time for them selves. “I call this ‘alone time,’ ” she said. “Don’t be too hard on yourself if you don’t get everything done*. There’s never a perfect balance.” Flight delay! skyrocket in Decembe off WASHINGTON (APH Flight delays increased sharpli December, partly because harsh weather that disruptedts ffic at some' of the busiest ports, the Transportation partment reported Monday.

Eighth-graders who have main tained a 90-point average the last 2 l /s> years will each get a watch that is en graved with the student’s name and has a custom clock face. The watches are intended as a re ward for the deserving students, but they will also function as a goal for students who need motivation top good grades, John Kiel, BrenfcJ Middle School assistant princ$ told the Houston Chronicle. “We want these (watches)inC balls, to establish competition,"fe said. “We want them competing grades.” Ben Seeker, middle school pro pal, said the incentive program^ out of discussions by teacher cm mittees planning for theschoolyci “It’s one thing kids like,'Se(i said. “It shows off well."
