them:
— In Hawaii, hazardous-materials teams were
called to Lihue Airport after passengers on a flight
from Los Angeles discovered a white powder on
their luggage after they arrived. Tests were being
conducted on the powder.
— In Uniontown, Pa., a 49-year-old woman
was given Cipro, an antibiotic for anthrax, and
was tested for exposure after receiving an enve
lope containing a powdery substance. She was
later released from a hospital.
— In England, several hundred people were
evacuated from Canterbury Cathedral after a
worker said he saw a man dropping a white pow
der in one of the chapels. Workers wearing chem
ical protection suits cleared up the powder and
took samples for analysis.
In New York, Giuliani said the officer and two
technicians were exposed while working on the
anthrax case involving Erin O’Connor, 38, the
assistant to NBC News anchor Tom Brokaw.
O’Connor is expected to recover from the infection.

The guide establishes three

ASB qualifies as an affiliat-
d organization. According to
fie guide, these groups are less
trictly regulated because their
ctivities involve a “moderate

The guide also states “affili-

Many of the so-called ‘date rape'

Jones said. “A lot of the time
ievictim states that she had mul-
ple drinks or ‘shots’ and passed
ut and then was assaulted.”
Jones said these types of cases
difficult to investigate because
is almost impossible to prove
lat the assault was not consentu-
andthe victim, due to her intox-
:ated state at the time, makes a
oor witness. In some cases, the
Jung woman cannot remember
assaulted and does not find
ut until she begins to suffer from
implications and visits a doctor.
One thing both Dennis and
mes warn students against is the
ver-consumption of alcohol on
-'§eir21st birthday.
“I don’t really think in order to
ave fun you need to drink so
luch that you pass out, or run the
sk of getting assaulted or arrest
or make yourself sick,” Jones
aid. “We’ve had cases right here
College Station where people
debating birthdays actually
rank themselves to death.”
Jones said the over-consump-
on of alcohol may result in acci-
ents, injuries and even deaths
om alcohol-poisoning.
It can be easy to over do it
hen celebrating a 21st birthday,
tudents should pace themselves
ad be aware of how much they
ave had to drink and how much
iey can handle.
Aside from the legal and safe-
aspects, students have to worry
bout lighter issues, such as
here and how to celebrate. The
Ityan-College Station area is
ome to several bars and fun
laces to celebrate. Before going
to celebrate, students should
e aware that these bars regulate

stablishments.
“We don't serve to people who
ome in at midnight the night
efore their birthday,” said Daniel
“Since the group is affiliat
ed, we should be able to choose
our own adviser, and student
activities is not letting us do
this,” Guyton said. “We do want
her (Gray) involved in our
organization, but we don't think
that they have the right to tell us
who and where and what.”
Guyton said she asked
Latham to allow Luza to con
tinue as a primary or secondary
adviser, but said she was told
that Luza is not qualified.
Luza said he understands
why ASB officials are upset.
“It’s not about me as adviser
— it’s about them having the
choice of who they would like
it to be,” he said. “I don’t
understand, because they
(Student Activities) haven't set
their criteria. They just told our
president that I didn’t have the
skills,” Luza said. “Beth and
the officers want to have input
into where the group is headed
and they feel like they are hav
ing none right now.”
Luza also said that he has
repeatedly asked Latham what
qualifications he lacks, but that
Latham has never responded.
On Oct. 14, Guyton said
she sent a letter of grievance to
Jackson, detailing ASB's con
cerns about the process of
choosing a new adviser for the
group.
“We feel that the action to
appoint an adviser to an affili
ated group falls outside the
Department of Student
Activities’ own definition of its
role,” Guyton said.
Brightwell, a manager at the Hole
in the Wall. “We don’t want to
chance someone having too much
and getting sick.”
Many of the bars in College
Station have the same policies.
Bars also have the right to refuse
to serve someone if the bartender
feels that person has had too
much to drink already. It is also
important to remember that just
because someone is turning 21
does not mean they have to drink.
It can be fun to celebrate by going
dancing, going out to a nice din
ner, or just having a few friends
over for pizza and cake.
But Jackson said the depart
ment has not overstepped its
bounds.
“Part of our responsibility is
to look at the type of resources
they have,” Jackson said. “One
very important one is their
adviser. We want to work with
this group, they do great pro
grams, and we’ll make every
effort to do that.”
