Brown said MADD’s only con cern in advocating the change is reducing drunk driving. “We have been accused of be ing prohibitionists, but anybody who knows anything about MADD knows that we are only interested in saving lives,” he said. “If people drink, that’s their business, but when they drive and put people’s lives in danger, then it’s our business.” Brown said that if people have half-price drinks as an in centive, they will drink three to nine times more than normal and then they will drive. “If banning ‘happy hours’ saves one life, it’s well worth it,” Brown said. “Happy hour” is currently banned in five states: Okla homa, Massachusetts, Kansas, Arkansas and Illinois. “These states are doing just fine,” Brown said. “They haven’t suffered withdrawal symptoms or culture shock.” Heather By JL Out There By JD v GRoVER, Look AT THIS ARTICLE oti A STtlAfilbE RED 0005 CULT...

Also, by incor porating the University’s auditing system, students will always know their graduation status.” Wendy Vinzant, a junior environmental design major, said she thinks the expansion of the Teague Building is going to be helpful to the students. “Right now, many computer facilities are difficult to find around campus,” Vinzant said. “By having one loca tion, many problems will be avoided.” Bonfire Continued from Page 1 obtain equipment during the sum mer instead of early in the fall, he said. “We have to do more stuff this summer that we used to do in the fall since bon- He said cut classes will be taught at summer fish camps.
