UPD offers alcohol safety tips
Texas A&M’s Crime Preven
tion Unit of the University Police
Department offers information
about spring break and driving
while intoxicated.
Spring break is nearly here,
and many students will be travel
ing to beaches and narks to relax
and enjoy the sunshine and festi
vities. Alcohol is often involved,
and it is important to understand
the consequences of overindul
gence.
Intoxication jeopardizes per
sonal safety. Every nine minutes a
young person is killed, crippled
or disfigured by riding with
someone or driving under the in
fluence.
A person who drives or oper
ates a motor vehicle in a public
place or on a public beach while
intoxicated commits an offense
punishable by a fine, loss of li
cense and jail time.
A first offense is punishable by
a fine of not less that $100 or
more than $2,000 and a jail term
not less than 72 hours or more
than two years.
Responsible drinking includes
not driving while under the influ
ence of alcohol.
For more information on alco
hol and liability, contact the UPD
Crime Prevention Unit or the
Center for Drug Prevention and
Education in the Health Center.
Tax increase for parks gains support
AUSTIN (AP) — City, county and
state officials Tuesday joined envi
ronmental and health groups in en
dorsing a 2-cent increase in the ciga
rette tax for more parks.
“The creation and support of lo
cal parks is an important part of the
lives of millions of Texans,” said
state Rep. Rene Oliveira, D-
Brownsville, who filed the bill.
“Our local parks deserve the at
tention and the funds to ensure that
all future Texans will have the op
portunity to enjoy this valuable re
source,” said Chet Brooks, D-Pasa-
dena, the senate sponsor.
The 2-cent increase would pro
duce about $14 million in additional
revenue for the Texas Department
of Parks and Wildlife and boost the
state cigarette tax from 41 cents per
pack to 43 cents.
Texas’ cigarette tax is the second
highest in the nation behind Hawaii
at 44 cents per pack, according to
the state comptroller’s office.
Oliveira’s bill would also establish
a permanent Texas Park Trust Fund
and designate indoor recreation cen
ters as eligible to receive matching
grant assistance.
The trust fund would remain un
touched until it totaled $250 million,
then the interest would be used for
parks, Oliveira said.

Authorities say
Texas capsules
show no signs
of tampering
DALLAS (AP) — Cold medication
capsules from a shipment linked to
cyanide poisonings in the state of
Washington have been purchased
here, but authorities said the cap
sules do not exhibit evidence of tam-
pering.
A Dallas man said Monday that he
purchased a 10-capsule package of
Sudafed 12 Hour capsules with the
same lot number as the tainted cap
sules blamed in two deaths and an
injury in the Tacoma and Olympia,
Wash., areas.
On Sunday, Burroughs Wellcome
ordered the recall of about 1 million
packages of' Sudafed. Customers
were advised to return the product
to the store where they bought it.
“Despite what appears to be a lo
calized situation, the company has
decided to institute a nationwide re
call,” said Phil Tracy, president and
chief executive officer for Bur
roughs Wellcome.
