For every one alcoholic, the lives
of 20 others are affected, said Roy
Baas, program director for the
Sandstone Center for Recovery in
College Station.
“According to the Surgeon Gen
eral’s Office, there are approxi
mately 18 million alcoholics in the
United States,” Baas said. “You take
18 million times 20 and that’s 360
million people. 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

to build their knowledge anda»ti

Reardon said the information

Speakers advise students
on balancing family, career
By Pam Mooman
Reporter
Three speakers from The Exec
utive Women of Dallas gave students
advice on balancing a career with a
private life in a panel discussion
Monday afternoon.
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.”

Schools launch programs
to foster student competition
BRENHAM (AP) — Student in
centive programs that once used
free food and drinks as rewards will
instead be giving away $ 120 watches
in an effort to increase competition,
school officials said.
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
