GAMMA supports responsible drinking
GAMMA
grocks advocating tho mature management of alcohol
By SANDRA STEPHENS
Staff Writer
With the onset of Homecoming
Week and the Georgia-Florida
Game, Greeks Advocating Mature
Management of Alcohol (GAMMA)
are hoping National Collegiate Al
cohol Awareness Week will help
students make responsible deci
sions related to alcohol.
GAMMA President Kristin
Dwors, a senior education mqjor,
said a car from a Clarke County
DUI accident will be placed on Le
gion Field during the alcohol
awareness week, Oct. 15-19.
“Every 22 minutes one person
dies in an alcohol related crash,"
she said.
Dwors said the car will be a re
minder not to drink and drive.
Many people think that it can’t
happen to to them, she said.
Students who are arrested by
University police for DUI also have
a record with the Athens Police De
partment, she said.
Dwors said her organization
isn’t trying to say not to drink.
“We promote responsibility," she
said.
Vice President of GAMMMA
Erika DeLemos, a junior mar
keting m^jor, said the car can pro
vide a stimulus because alcohol
and drinking isn’t something
people think about on a daily basis.
Seeing a car that’s actually been
in a drunk driving accident can be
scary, she said.
“We just want people to be more
aware of the consequences of
drinking," she said.
Monday from noon to 3 p.m. •
GAMMA, Mothers Against Drunk
Driving, Charter Winds Hospital,
and the Athens Regional Medical
Center Commencement Center
will be offering information on al
cohol awareness and alcohol treat
ment at the Tate Student Center
Plaza.
GAMMA advisor Carole Middle-
brooks, coordinator of alcohol and
drug education at the Gilbert
Health Center, said people usually
don’t have a chance to talk to
people and be aware.
“We’re really just trying to
create an awareness of services
available,” she said.
Monday at 8 p.m. there will be a
“Candle light" held at several fra
ternity and sorority houses. Lumi
naries, paper bags with sand and
candles, will be placed outside the
houses.
Middlebrooks said the lumina
ries will bring attention to making
responsible decisions about
drinking during homecoming
weekend, the Georgia-Florida
weekend and on to the holidays.
“We’re not prohibitionist nor
pro-use,” Middlebrooks said.
;< We’re promoting responsible deci
sions about alcohol abuse."
GAMMA, which was established
about four years ago, is competing
for the first time with other chap
ters around the nation during the
Alcohol Awareness week.
Middlebrooks said the organiza
tions are graded on their cam
puswide activities and the
involvement of the academic and
local communities.
GAMMA has asked University
teachers to include some type of as
signment or discussion in their
classes.
They also asked the All-campus
Homecoming Committee to include
non-drinking themes in their ban
ners and window competitions.
“We thought that was a pretty
good step," Dwors said.
flu early
Students should be vaccinated for
By STACEY MclNTOSH
Staff Wnter
With the onset of flu season,
University Health Services opened
a clinic this month to vaccinate
students, faculty and staff, Di
rector Jacqueline Kinder said.
Kinder said there isn’t a flu epi
demic at the University yet, even
though health services officials
have treated a high number of
upper respiratory infections typ
ical during this time of the year.
“Students are under a lot of
stress when the weather changes
and new classes start,” she said.
‘They are more vulnerable now to
viruses because their resistance is
low.”
Few students have been inoc
ulated because most aren’t con
cerned about flu season — which
starts in early November, Kinder
said.
Flu shots are available week
days at the AllergyTravel Clinic
on the second floor of the Health
Center, which is open from 8:30 to
11:30 a.m. and from 1 to 4 p.m.
They cost $6 for students and
$10 for faculty and staff. Appoint
ments are not necessary, but for
more information call 542-5575.
Who should get flu shots?
• Adults and children with long
term heart or lung problems re
quiring a doctor’s treatment.
• People of any age who have
regularly seen a doctor or have
been admitted to a hospital for
treatment of kidney disease, cystic
Few students have
been inoculated since
most aren’t concerned
about flu season.
fibrosis, diabetes, anemia or severe
asthma during the last year.
• Anyone over 65 and all
nursing home residents and resi
dents of other institutions housing
patients who have serious long
term health problems.
• People who have a type of
cancer, immunological disorder or
use certain medications that lower
the body’s normal resistance to in
fection.
• People who work in health
care facilities.
The flu vaccine becomes effec
tive two weeks after the shot is ad-
ministered. Immunity may
decrease after several months.
Although flu shots are not man
datory, measles, mumps and ru
bella vaccinations will be required
by summer of 1991 since the Uni
versity System Board of Regents
recently passed a recommendation
by health services directors.
Kinder said the recommendation
was brought before the regents for
a second time because of last
spring’s measles outbreak.
“With 4,000 new students on
campus, if one student contracts
measles, it could start the epidemic
all over again," she said.
