like pregnancy or STDs that remain after spring
break is over.
Shields said the Web site provides helpful
guidelines to follow such as advising students to
drink responsibly, stay in groups and abide by the
laws.
If a minor attempts to purchase an alcoholic
beverage, it is a Class C misdemeanor punishable
by a tine of up to $500. In addition, the minor
must enroll in an alcohol awareness class, perform
eight to 12 hours of community service and have
his driver’s license suspended for 30 days.
Police say students need to take appropriate
measures concerning safety before leaving town.
Lt. Mark Langwell. public information officer
for the College Station Police Department, said
students need to take time to make important
preparations before they leave, such as checking
flight information or road conditions.
“Being prepared for a road trip or flight can
save time and headaches, not to mention your
life,” Langwell said.
Overall, Ford said she wants students to use
good judgment while enjoying the break.
“Have a good time and relax, meet new people
and enjoy the week away from school,” Ford said.
“Just watch out for yourself, your friends and your
stuff and be aware of your surroundings.”

to support Soderberg and help
with the campaign. Hernandez,
who is one of Soderberg’s fra

Soderberg as outgoing.
“The key to getting a posi

one,” Hernandez said. “Grant
got to know lots of people.”
In the three-day election
process, it is very hard to get to
know everyone, Hernandez
said.
The campaign process
involved convincing other
schools in the region that he
was the best choice, Soderberg
said.
“It’s all about the first
impression you make,”
Hernandez said.
The job of the director is to
learn how to motivate and
improve Greek councils,
Methony said.
One of Soderberg's goals is
to increase the participation of
Arkansas and Louisiana
schools while putting A&M's
association with Greek life at
the national level.
“This will help put our
name on the map. “ Hernandez
said. “He'll get to meet people
all over the country and talk to
them about their Greek sys
