Local 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. For more information on health topics contact the A.P. Beutel Health Center Health Education Center at 845-1 341. 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).” Gwendolyn Struve, The Battalion 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.
