This years alcohol aware- CT' IjT mmk I*jj
ness week was a Big P"* M 111 I
success. On Sunday October #% m m m ™ I I
b~l. dauuhuo awareness
The film was outstand
ing, it was on alcohol
ism and the destruction
it can cause.
Then on October 16th
students gathered in
the cafiteria to the
fine music presented
by Jumping Jeff Walker,
at our annual Mocktail
Party.
On Tuesday, the
following night a
video was about Suzanne
Summers and the al
coholism that almost
destroyed her family.
The show was very
educational and made
alot of students
think about their own
life situations.
Then on Wednesday
the 18th, we held our
famous statistic's day.
This is when every
twenty minutes a student,
faculty member and also
staff volunteers to be
white-faced in order to
recognize all the people
who die as a result
of drinking and driving.
BACCHUS would per
sonally like to thank
all that were involved
in this day and also
for making it so
memorable to all of us.
On that night our
advisor Shirley Knelly,
the president Michele
Carlin and the vice
president Laura Delong
presented an educational
program for the local
cubscouts and broenies in
the Drums area concerning
saying no to drugs
and alcohol.
Finally, our week closed
with our annual poster
contest. Our winners were
Ist place went to
Anna Spraque, 2nd place to
Jenn Ryan and 3rd to Kelly
Lieberman. Congratu
lations to all who entered
and a personal thanks
to our board of judges.
BACCHUS would like to
apologize for cancelling
our mock accident. How
ever, the inclimate
waether could have
created a real tragedy
and that would have
defeated our purpose.
Please keep our eyes and
ears open, for our
mock accident in the
Spring semester. I
guarantee that it will
be a sucess and something
you shall never forget.

Benefit Patients
Dear Students,
A special event takes
place on Nov. 13, from Ipm
to 6pm at the Physical
Educationßuilding, the
annual American Red Cross
Bloodmobile. This year we
are very excited about a
new change - the theme for
this bloodmobile is the
"Penn State - Pitt Challange
." You'll be hearing this
more in the coming weeks.
The importance of your
bloodmobile is reflected in
the following facts:
As of Jan. 1989, the
Northeast Regional Blood
Center in Wilkes Barre has
begun importing blood from
Europe at the rate of 100
units per week.
Our relatives, friends and
neighbors who are patients
in area hospitals depend on
a "readily available blood
supply".
The Hazleton area has a
population of over 72,000.
The Chapter has difficulty
in collecting 3,000 to 4,000
units per year.
Bloodmobile targets are
important; they (when met)
help to give a consistent
blood supply.
Our community blood
supply is something each
of us depends on.
Your school has taken
action to support this
worthwhile program. We are
asking the students to help
us by participating in the
"Challange". It's thanks to
people like you we can con
tinue to save lives. On
behalf of the patients who
depend on all of us, I
thank you.
Lynn Hinkle
Blood Service Coordinator
Sincerely,
