programs by meeting with the

Curtis said
The effectiveness of the
council is its representation of
various aspects of mental
health care, including the
Georgia Hospital Association,
he added.
An important concern for the public with the best care
Curtis is "the coordination of possible.''
private and public sections of “A push tor less hospitaliza-
mental health care to avoid tion through prevention, early
costlv duplie.*»t*n»’ »"rt nmvidp intervention and out-patient
care is important.” Curtis said
in reference to both profes
sional and consumer concern
for better care at lower costs.
He added that a prerequisite
to less in-patient care is
•'cutting the stigma of seeking
mental health care."
Curtis' background includes
service as a consultant psychi
atrist at the National Institute
of Mental Health, Berea
College and the University of
Kentucky His honors include
Outstanding Educator of
America in 1971.
Curtis is also associate
professor of psychiatry in the
University’s Department of
Psychiatry, and associate pro
fessor of psychiatry at the

“an impressive model” for
mental health programs. He
cited the effectiveness of the
University’s program for alco
holism awareness as an
example.

"That's their way of saying drink.” Ullom says. To help
reduce ignorance that surrounds the use of alcohol, the AAG
came up with the idea of a festival.
“We re not in favor of or against alcohol use,” says Susan
Copeland, a member of the AAG who is helping to organize the
event. “We just want people to be aware of what alcohol is, and
does."
Over 50.000 items are to be given away, including T-shirts,
recipe b<»oks. posters, balloons, soft drinks and snacks
“Everything is absolutely free,” according to Pat Coughlin of
the AAG “Come over, have a good time and take something
back with you."
The fair will feature demonstrations and exhibits on such
topics as making wine and beer, cooking with alcohol and
creative bartending. Wine and beer tasting will also be featured.
The Sierra Club and Athens Cycling will present
alternative-to-drinking programs, and kite making and flying
demonstrations are scheduled.
Medical aspects of alcohol use will be illustrated in a puppet
show, and a panel presentations on the Fetal Alcohol Syndrome
is planned
Local and state police officers will administer breathalyzer and
driving tests and discuss legal aspects of alcohol use.
Representatives from Al-Anon. Alcoholics Anonymous and the
Council on Aging will be available to answer questions.
The Alcohol Action Group is a non-profit University
organization whose goal is to promote responsible drinking.
“If people think about drinking responsibly just while they’re
at the fair, that’s more than they might otherwise," says Ullom.
In the event of rain, the fair will be held in Brumby Rotunda.

Relaxation therapy to help
students relieve tension
By LAURA Ll'EDTKE
A special program to teach students how
to relax will soon be offered free of charge
by University Health Services.
The program will involve physical
exercises designed to help students cope
with anxieties and tensions that interfere
with students’ performance
The relaxation therapy should help such
problems as insomnia, tension headaches,
stress, ulcers, and other psychosomatic
problems, according to physical therapist
Janet Byrum
The exercises involve learning to tense
and relax different muscle groups through
out the body to reduce muscle tension
Byrum hopes to show patients how to
identify their feelings of tension so they can
learn to relax By learning how to control
muscle tone, low levels of anxiety and stress
can be maintained, say proponents of the
relaxation exercises, and needlessly wasted
energy can be focused and conserved.
The tentative program involves group
therapy in which graduates of the group
sessions can help other groups
The program will probably start in the
residence halls, with the resident assistants
instructing the hall residents. Byrum said.
No date has been used for implementing the
program
The program is still in its formative
stages due to the small staff in the Physical
Therapy department. Byrum said.
REFERENDUM-
From p. 1
"I don’t approve of doing
away with SGA—I want to
make that clear—but I will
support sending it to the
students.”
Senate President Lynn
Johnson agreed. "If a senator
is afraid to vote for this thing
and let the students have the
vote, then we can’t be
effective. After all, we’re not
here to represent ourselves,”
she said.
Regardless of whether it is
passed as a constitutional
amendment, the motion will go
for
vote
to students
Thursday
According to SGA President
J. Harold Mulherin. a vote by
the students "is all that is
needed.” regardless of the
form it takes
"I don't think it <an
amendment) is necessary,"
Mulherin said. "Student
government is based on
students, and all that’s needed
is a student vote."
There are numerous seen
arios for what could happen if
the motion to abolish SGA
passes. Many senators, in
cluding Johnson and Jocoy,
have said that they will resign
immediately if the students
vote to kill SGA. But some
senators might choose to stay.
"I think resigning is the
intelligent thing to do,"
Johnson said. "It’s important
for us to have an amendment
to force some of the senators to
face what’s happening "
Mulherin feels that any
senators who try to remain
would run into trouble. "If any
of them try to hold on (after a
yes vote on the referendum)
that wouldn't be too bright.
