HEALTH TIPS
Planning can help eliminate
a negative spring break
By Erin Foley
A. P. Beutel Health Center
Spring break is a great time to
take a vacation from the pressures
of school.
Many Texas A&M students will
be hitting the beach or the ski
slopes March 11 through 15 for a
week of rest and relaxation.
Students should remember a
few tips to ensure that spring
break is enjoyable.
One of the decisions that stu
dents will have to make during
spring break involves their alco
hol intake.
Do they want to drink, and if
so, how much? Who will drive
and look out for their safety? What
will they do if their friends drink
"too much?"
Bacchus and Gamma have some
tips regarding alcohol to help stu
dents have a safer spring break:
•Remember you do not have to
be "drunk" to be impaired - even
one or two drinks affect your dri
ving skills.
•Stay out of dangerous situa
tions involving alcohol, whether
in a car, a bar or a bedroom.
•Drinking, drugs and driving
do not mix.
•Take your turn being a desig
nated driver to get everyone
where they are going safely.
•Respect other people's right, and
your own, to choose not to drink.
Many students will also need to
make decisions regarding their sex
ual health during spring break.
Will you engage in sexual activi
ty or will you practice abstinence?
Making early decisions about
sexual health can help students
when they face situational pressure.
Some additional tips are:
•Avoid oil-based lubricants,
such as tanning oil, because they
weaken latex rubber.
• Avoid anyone who does not
respect your decisions.
Students should remember they
are the only ones who can make
these decisions. They are the only
ones who can know the right an
swers to these questions.
Making some decisions before
the week begins and sticking to
those decisions can help eliminate
negative spring break experiences.

topics contact the A.P. Beutel

Hazing
Continued from Page 1
Jason Jordan, Interfraternity
Council president and a junior
marketing major, said the stereo
types of Greek organizations and
the Corps puts them under a
stricter policy for hazing regula
tions.
“There is always the argument
that when hazing comes up we get
nailed faster than anyone else be
cause of the negative stigmas,” Jor
dan said. “In the press, especially
newspapers, its easier to pin things
on the Greek system and the
Corps.”
But Christi Moore, chair of the
Student Organizations Hearing
Board, said the University does not
single out any campus organiza
tion and treats them all equally.
“I think the problem lies in the
fact that the fraternities and the
Corps are such large, visible orga
nizations, so more attention is paid
to them,” she said. “But it’s the
same in any situation. No one here
has given any group special treat
ment.”
Tyson Voelkel, Corps comman
der and a senior industrial distrib
ution major, said he has not per
ceived a double standard on cam
pus, but his impression could
change with the outcome of the
Fish Aides hearing.
“I really don’t think there’s a
double standard,” Voelkel said.
“But that also depends on if (the
University) lets everybody off
(without punishment).”

BENEFIT BBQ
Jason Burnett, junior agricultural economics major, slices up
brisket. Texas A&M Corps of Cadets Company E-2 held a bar
becue Saturday on behalf of Reggie Harper, a former mem
ber of E-2 and a senior wildlife and fisheries major. Harper
suffered second-degree burns on 40 percent of his body earli
er this semester. Neither he nor his family have insurance to
pay for the medical expenses. About 800 people attended the
barbecue, which featured brisket, sausage and beans.
