Spring Break Missions & By Paul Neale The Battalion As spring break approaches, many students can hardly wait to don their ski apparel or swimming attire. Others, however, look forward to getting down to work. Several Texas A&M religious organizations will spend their spring break lending helping hands to extra workload for the break communities north, south, east and west of College Station. Aggie Sisters for Christ (ASC), a women's Christian association, will send 22 students north this weekend to Kansas City, Mo., to tidy up the Forest Avenue Baptist Church shelter for women and children. ASC will clean and paint during the day and focus their attention on the women and children in the evenings. Such outreach programs as ASC's provide opportunities for students to serve those in need. ASC missions officer Alicia Elson described outreach at the shelter as "a lot of hard work, but a lot of fun." Elson said her religious convictions motivate her to work during spring break. Photos Special to The Battalion Laura Smith, president of Aggie Sisters for Christ, hugs Travis, at the Forest Avenue Baptist Church shelter in Kansas City. "I'll work out of desire to serve the Lord and do what I believe we're commanded to do," she said. For its third year, ASC will spend the week of spring break at the Kansas City shelter. A second group from ASC will travel to Houston to serve at Impact, a church in downtown Houston which provides clothing and food to those in need. In addition to preparing lunches and leading a worship service, the three days ASC will spend with the kids in that area include a trip to the beach and the zoo.

Many women wish they didn't have to remember their birth control every day. If you're one of them, you might want to know about Depo-Provera. Some of the benefits of Depo-Provera. Depo-Provera is an injection you get from your doctor or nurse, every three months. When taken as scheduled-just 4 times a year-it's more than 99% effective. So it's one of the most reliable contraceptives available. Depo-Provera has been used for many years by millions of women in countries like England, France and Sweden. And Depo-Provera is reversible. Once you stop using it, you can usually become pregnant within one year. Depo-Provera from Upjohn is a prescription product that costs about the same per year as birth control pills. But before you consider any birth control method, you should discuss the risks and benefits with your healthcare professional. Some of the side effects of Depo-Provera. Most women experience irregular or unpredictable menstrual bleeding and weight gain. With continued use, many women stop having monthly periods, but your healthcare professional can explain why this happens, and that it is not a medical problem. Use of Depo- Provera may be associated with a decrease in the amount of mineral stored in your bones, which may be considered among the risk factors for development of osteoporosis. Depo-Provera is not right for every woman. Women with a family or personal history of breast cancer, blood clots, liver disease, or those who think they might be pregnant, should not use Depo-Provera. Remember, Depo-Provera does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases. But it does provide highly reliable birth control you only have to think about 4 times a year. If you have any questions or concerns, talk to your healthcare professional. •: < Birth CoNtROt Options: a ; Call 1-800-861-8618. Ask For Our Free Brochures. .
