Alcohol
Continued from Page 1A
from surveys distributed by the task
force made evident that several stu
dents believe drinking to be a problem
at A&M. The data reports that more
than 60 percent of Aggies consume
between zero and three alcoholic
drinks per week.
The task force is now training stu
dent leaders about misconceptions
discovered by the survey. Members of
the task force include students, facul
ty, stall', parents and concerned com
munity members. The bulk of training
began last spring and this summer.
“We are already seeing a differ
ence. Students seem to be under
standing via educational awareness
that the stereotypical drinking Aggie
and the outrageous sales at area bars
and grocery stores are all myths,” said
Dr. Dennis Reardon, senior coordina
tor for ADEP and program coordina
tor for Student Life.
ADEP has distributed T-shirts and
posters sporting the “0-3 drinks per
week” theme, while broadcasting
that “Aggies Don’t Drink As Much
As You Think.” The educational
training is designed to distinguish
fact from fiction, and vocalize the re
alities and consequences of drinking.
Reardon added A&M President
Dr. Ray M. Bowen said that he does
not want alcohol to destroy the fabric
of A&M’s close-knit community.
Along similar lines, Kim Novak, co
ordinator of student judicial services,
said that she thinks A&M’s cama
raderie and strong base in tradition
will work in favor of this program.
Alcohol awareness programs have
also been presented at new student
conferences, Fish Camp and T-Camp
in an effort to combat the drinking is
sue before it begins.
“Student leaders are the number
one contact for new students at this
University,” Reardon said. ‘They can
be used as sources of factual informa
tion to convey accuracy, as well as to
respond to misconceptions.”
Novak said that disciplinary mea
sures need not be the only answer.
“Coupling such measures with ed
ucation allow us to take a more proac
tive stance,” Novak said.
Funding for the awareness training
is allocated through Student Service
Fee, since students and parents have
come to realize alcohol abuse should
be addressed. ADEP’s next step is to
branch out to the community to further
debunk myths and provide more
methods to disseminate information.

The USA asked faculty members to show support
by finding alternatives to holding conventional class
es during the sickout.
Cynthia Johnson, assistant instructor in the UT
English department, is among the faculty members
modifying her syllabus in light of the protest. Her class
will not meet as scheduled and instead will work on an
alternate assignment.
“Instead of [scheduled classes], the class will work
on a [sickout related] assignment for a Web forum,”
Johnson said.
The Daily Texan, UT’s student newspaper, reported
that staff workers want conditions to change and are not
afraid to face consequences from the administration.
Johnson said that, for the most part, the university
community is willing to help cure the burnt orange flu.
Students plan to rally Wednesday, and a joint fac
ulty-staff' rally is scheduled for Friday to support work-

They addressed their grief over
the Bonfire collapse and their hope to
continue the tradition without the
moratorium, “for the freshmen,”
Clark said.
The Kerlees, who moved to Bryan
from Tennessee after their only son’s
death, now volunteer in campus min
istry through the A&M United
Methodist Church. Their message
was simple.
“We lost something that can't be
replaced. We lost a child,” Kerlee Sr.
said. “He was our life for 17 years.
No slap-together off-campus bonfire
is going to do justice to his memory
this year.”

trespassing on July 27.
"He had been trespassing and he was issued a warn
ing,” Jones said. “However, he returned to the property
and they called the police. When the police arrived,be
was still on the property and was then arrested.”
The Bryan-College Station Eagle has reported that
Bynum was also arrested in 1997 for burglary of a ve
hicle and criminal mischief. The burglary charge
dismissed and he was placed on probation for the crim
inal mischief charge.
Bynum was suspended from the football team in May
1999 for failing a drug test due to high testosterone lev
els. Bynum did not play for the team during the 199 1 )
football season.
Slocum said that a final decision about Bynum’s sie
pension will be made once the legal matters are resolved
Bynum could not be reached for comment.
