Safety ed program
offers 1-hour credit
in drug prevention
By Denise Thompson
STAFF WRITER
In addition to various campus
programs aimed at preventing alco
hol and drug abuse, the industrial
vocation and technical education de
partment offers a one-credit class
for students interested in learning
more.
Safety Education 489, Preventing
Alcohol and Drug Abuse, is a result
of a six-year program with the Texas
Commission on Alcohol and Drug
Abuse, Dr. Maurice Dennis, coordi
nator of the safety education pro
gram at Texas A&M said.
“We’ve been working with the
TCADA for about six years to pre
vent alcohol abuse with A&M stu
dents,” he said. “And this is just one
more direction we’ve gone to try and
reach that goal.”
Because vast amounts of informa
tion are available on alcohol and
drug abuse prevention, the safety
education program decided to teach
it on a more formal basis in Spring
1986.
“We were going to sororities and
dorms,” he said, “trying to teach
them everything about the subject in
a 30-minute time period. We devel
oped the class so we’d have 15 weeks
to really inform the students.”
Dennis said the 400 number on
the course is misleading because 489
is the number given to any class
when it is formed.
“Before we can get a regular num
ber for the class, we have to keepitat
489 until we develop the curriculum
and determine whether we ll have
the students necessary to fill a regu
lar class,” he said. “So the class has
got a 400 number on it, but the cur
riculum is no more difficult than a
200-level course.”
The course explores the physio
logical and psychological effects of
alcohol and other drugs on humans,
means of preventing problems, rec
ognition of problems and sources of
assistance.
The course outline is broken into
10 objectives and includes legal con
siderations,, symptoms and coping
with alcohol and drug-related situa
tions.
Because the course is an elective,
students from all majors can register
for the course. However, enrollment
is limited to promote student inter
action, he said.
Dennis will teach the class in the
fall. For more information call Den
nis at 845-3019.
Killings
(Continued from page 1)
death, said Oran Neck, agent in
charge for U.S. Customs in
Brownsville.
The case is being investigated by
Customs, the U.S. Attorney’s Office,
Mexican federal authorities and lo
cal law enforcement agencies on
both sides of the border.
It is the second drug-related mass
killing discovered near the border in
less than two weeks.
Mexican authorities found the
bodies of three women and six men
March 29 on an abandoned ranch
near Agua Prieta, Sonora, just across
the border from Douglas, Ariz.
Five were at the bottom of a well,
and four, covered with lime to de
compose them, were in an earthen
septic tank. All nine had been tor
tured, mutilated and bound, officials
said.
On April 1, the bodies of three
more men killed in similar fashion
were fished from the well. All were
believed to he Mexican nationals.
I nvestigators said possible motives
for the Agua Prieta slayings range
from revenge for lost narcotics or
drug money to discouraging infor
mants to fighting between drug-
smuggling factions.
At a Tucson news conference on
Thursday, Pima County Sheriff
Clarence Dupnik termed as “rea
sonable speculation” the likelihood
that the Agua Prieta deaths were
linked to those of five Hispanics.twi
from Arizona and three from So
nora, found March 27 bound and
stabbed in a Tucson shed.
Law officers on both sides of the
border had been stumped by theKil
roy case, with no clues despite an in
tensive search, the questioning of
nearly 10.Q,people and a $15,000 re
ward.
Kilroy’s disappearance also was
re-enacted for a segment on Fox
Television’s America’s Most Wanted
program.
Wine
(Continued from page 1)
Research revealed that certain
molecules in red grape skins that are
released during a processing tech
nique affect the amount of quercetin
in the wine, Leighton said.
After discovering the mutagen,
Leighton said, he and other scientists
decided more should be learned
about it before publicizing the find
ing.
“It was found that it would com
pletely block the action of a whole se
ries of carcinogens,” he said, describ
ing the substance as having “a Jekyll
and Hyde personality.”
Cancer cells develop from the
“initiation” phase to the “promotion”
phase, in which they proliferate over
time into a cancerous mass. Querce
tin has been found to act on cells in
the promotion stage, Leighton said.
It also has been determined that
the onion family of vegetables con
tains high rates of quercetin, a spe
cific discovery compared to previous
general findings that lots of fruits
and vegetables in the diet are linked
to lower cancer rates, Leighton said.
Furthermore, recently published
reports indicate that Chinese people
who have eaten large amounts of on
ions and garlic have high levels of
quercetin and low rates of stomach
cancer, according to Leighton.
“We have shown that the bacteria
in our gut can carry out these molec
ular activities,” thus activating anti
carcinogens, he said.
But Leighton said only if the mol
ecules in the gut process the sugar
Syphilis

except for themselves,” said Dr.
Howard Minkoff, a physician at
Brooklyn’s Health Science Center.
In Dallas County, the number of
syphilis cases increased 22 percent in
the last three months of 1988 and
nearly tripled in the first two months
of 1989, said Don Hutcheson, pro
gram manager of the disease-inter
vention staff of the county’s Health
Department.
“Since 1982, we had been in
steady decline,” Hutcheson said. “E-
ven in the first two or three quarters
of 1988, it was going down. Then all
of a sudden in the last quarter of
1988, we started seeing an increase
in syphilis like a lot of places in the
United States.”
off of the quercetin are the anticarci
nogens seen.
Research indicates such reactions
are occurring in humans, he added.
Leighton declined to say whether
drinking large quantities of red wine
would guard against cancer. “Hav
ing a large helping of onion rings
might he more beneficial than drink
ing a lot of red wine,” he said.
lie did say that quercetin’s power
as an anticarcinogen outweighs any
possible health risks of the mutagen.
David Jacobson-K ram, an asso
ciate professor of oncology at Johns
Hopkins University and director of
the Center of Toxicology at Micro
biological Associates Inc., said Leigh
ton’s study indicates quercetin's and-
carcinogenic activity apparently is
unrelated to the fact that it is a muta-
g en "
“So what you have is this chemical
is really having a dual effect,” he
said.
Jacobson-Kram said mutagenic in
gredients have been found in a vari
ety of alcoholic beverages. “ The real
issue is these things are found in
very small quantities compared to
ethanol,” he said.
There currently is debate over
whether ethanol, the substance that
makes a person intoxicated from
drinking alcohol, is a carcinogen,
according to Jacobsen-Kram.
He also said there is no indication
people should drink an abundance
of red wine in hopes of fighting off
cancer.
Ingram said the American Cancer
Society encourages moderation in al
cohol consumption.
House OKs bill
against taking
officer’s weapon
AUSTIN (AP) — Prompted in
part by incidents of law enforce
ment officers being killed with
their own guns, the Texas House
tentatively approved a bill Tues
day that would make it a felony to
take or attempt to take a peace of
ficer’s weapon.
Concern was expressed about
police brutality during debate on
the measure, but Rep. Bill Black
wood said he planned for an
amendment before final House
passage that would address such
concerns.
