SADD Looks for Commitment by Roger Lee The SADD chapter here at PSU Delco is having a hard time getting off the ground. There are only 12 official members, but according to President Eric Voigt, “I would rather have a few committed people than 100 that don’t care.” Voigt says the chapter receives state funding, but the only other support it gets are flyers and sales packets. The chapter plans to expand its recognition on the campus by putting up posters and having a film. The anti-drinking and driving film will be held on October 30, in 101 main. At the start of this year, meetings were held only one time a month. To become more effective, the group decided that the chapter will meet every other Monday, 12:30-1:20 in 217 main. The next planned meeting will be held Monday, November 4. The goals of SADD (Students Against Drunk Driving) are to: 1. Help eliminate the drunk driver and save lives. 2. Alert and inform students of the dangers of drunk driving. 3. Help students deal with the peer pressure which too often promotes reckless and drunken driving. ~~ 4. Organize a peer counseling program to help students who may have concerns about alcohol.
