Wednesday, April 12,1989
TV characters
enter fight
against DWI
National Briefs
BOSTON (AP) — JR. Ewing
slept off a night on the town before
heading for the ranch. And Alex
Keaton agreed to be “designated
driver” as prime-time stars took on
new roles this season in a campaign
against driving drunk.
The message — that drinking and
driving is socially unacceptable —has
been written into 32 television pro
grams since the season began last
fall, including an entire episode of
ABC’s top-rated “Growing Pains” to
be broadcast Wednesday night, Jay
Winsten of the Harvard Alcohol
Project said.
“You don’t change social norms
overnight, hut we’re off to a good
start,” he said.
The Harvard Alcohol Project, be
gun in late 1987, is trying to harness
the influence of Hollywood and
Madison Avenue in making drink
ing and driving as socially passe as
smoking cigarettes.
Last year, Harvard researchers
targeted the small screen, making a
low-key appeal to television exec
utives to write in occasional refer
ences to designated drivers. The
proposal was endorsed in April by
the board of the Writer’s Guild of
America-West.
“One of our goals was to increase
public awareness just of the concept
of designated driver to introduce it
into the American lexicon,” said
Winsten, assistant dean of Harvard’s
School of Public Health and director
of its Center for Health Commu
nication.
Having characters casually refer
to picking a designated driver, some
one who stays sober to drive the
drinkers home, reinforces what is al
ready becoming accepted partying
behavior, Winsten said.
“Our role really is as a catalyst,” he
said. “Producers, like the public, are
primed and ready to respond to this
issue.”
The message was broadcast in va
rious ways this season.
On one episode of CBS’ “Dallas,”
a bedraggled J.R. Ewing arrives at
the family ranch one morning and
explains to his young son that he
couldn’t drive home the night before
because he’d been drinking. Of
course, J.R. isn’t telling the whole
truth about his nocturnal adven
tures, but the message is dear.
On NBC’s “Family Ties;” Alex
Keaton, the character played by Mi
chael J. Fox, visits a restaurant fea
turing a tank of live fish.
When a member of the group is
soaked in a mishap in the tank, Fox
is asked to take her home. He re
sponds by saying he is the desig
nated driver, but he had expected to
drive home someone who drank like
a fish, not someone who was hit by a
fish.
Weather changes help fight against oil spill
VALDEZ, Alaska (AP) —-
Rough seas that helped stall and
break up some of the giant oil
spill from the Exxon Valdez be
came calmer Tuesday and winds
shifted away from fish-rich Ko
diak Island, the Coast Guard said.
“Kodiak still seems to be
saved,” said Jim Hayden, the state
of Alaska’s cleanup coordinator.
Coast Guard spokesman Ken
Freeze said the spill appears to
have stalled and is breaking into
tar balls. “That’s better than ooey,
gooey oil,” he said.
Equipment continued to pour
into the area aboard military
transports. About 67 tons of
material, everything from con
tainment booms to absorbent
pads, were scheduled to arrive
I uesday.
A huge ^oviet oil-skimming
vessel, the Vay Dagursky, was ex*
pected to arrive Saturday stale
officials said. The ship can skim
200,000 gallons an hour and
store 2 million gallons of oil on
board, according to the officials
But it remains unclear how diet
live it might be against the Alaska
spill.
Despite the favorable weather
a light sheen of oil seeped into the
Kenai Fjords National Park at
scattered inlets and fjords, Freeze
said. With a thickness measured
in molecules, the sheen does not
threaten serious environmental
damage, he said.
House panel votes to stop gas price regulation
WASHINGTON (AP) — A
House panel approved legislation
Tuesday to end 35 years of fed
eral control of natural gas prices,
a step cheered by the energy in
dustry but criticized by some con
sumer groups even though de
control could mean slightly
cheaper gas for the nation’s con
sumers.
The House Energy and Com
merce Committee, on a voice vote
without dissent, sent the measure
tVi4“ full Mouse urh ****** **\'**r\ its
strongest critics say approval is
likely.
A similar measure has been in
troduced but has not yet been
acted on in the Senate.
The legislation would complete
a price decontrol process that be
gan in 1978 with the Natural Gas
Policy Act, which removed price
limits on certain kinds of gas
while also establishing two dozen
categories of gas, each with a ceil
ing price.
Bush S&L reform meets stiff opposition
WASHINGTON (AP) — A
House banking panel voted Tues
day to gut the key reform of the
Bush administration’s savings
and loan proposal but then rolled
back in several follow-up votes on
some of the changes that most
weakened the plan.
By a 24-23 vote, the House
Banking subcommittee on finan
cial institutions diluted a require
ment to force S&L owners to back
loans with more of their own cap
ital.
Cornell group tackles summit as class activity
Try this for your next college
outing: the summit of Chimbo-.
razo in the Ecuadorean Andes, at
20,703 feet the highest peak in
North America.
A Cornell University group
made a successful ascent of Chim
borazo in December as part of the
school’s outdoor education pro
grain.
Led by Dan Tillemans, director
ol Cornell’s outdoor education
program, the group’s four rope
teams climbed the summit in nine
hours, starting from a base camp
at 15,000 feet.
Adjusting to thinning oxygen
above 18,000 feet was the most
difficult part, the climbers say.
“Some people took one step for
every three breaths because
there’s so little oxygen up there,”
Tillemans says. “ When we got
there, some people were too tired
even to take pictures.” Tillemans
planted a red and white Cornell
banner at the summit.
The group made three ascents
during their trip. Ruminahui, at
15,455 feet, was regarded as a
“practice” climb. It also climbed
Cotapaxi, 19,348 feet, before tak
ing on Chimborazo.
The climb to Chimborazo be
gan at midnight to take advan
tage of calmer conditions though
temperatures dropped to about
20 degrees at night. During the
day, temperatures warmed to
about 50 degrees, and the most
serious risk wasn’t frostbite but
sunburn. The wind blew fiercely
at the summits, the climbers say.
Tillemans says the Andes views
are breathtaking. While climbing
over the Catapaxi glacier at night,
he watched lightning storms in
the clouds below him.
