Under the Influence
Alcohol-related car accidents are the number one killer for those
younger than twenty-five, causing one death every fifteen minutes
in the United States. The Mount Holyoke College Medical Emergency
Response team and the Alcohol and Drug Advisory Committee are
joining South Hadley High School in cosponsoring "Every
Fifteen Minutes," a national program to promote awareness
of the consequences of drinking and driving. The program, scheduled
for Wednesday, April 2 (rain date Tuesday, April 8), will include
a "vision goggle" demonstration that simulates driving
under the influence, 10 am–5 pm in Wilder Basement; a mock
accident and information table, 12:15–1 pm on Skinner Green;
a panel presentation, 7–8 pm in Dwight 101; and a memorial
service honoring those affected by alcohol-related accidents,
8–8:30 pm in Abbey Chapel. For more information, contact
Karen Jacobus, coordinator of health education (kjacobus@mtholyoke.edu
or x3200).
