Restore program funds, Alcohol Task Force says
By ALAN J. CRAVER
Collegian Staff Writer
The University President’s Task
Force on Alcohol recommended that
funds which were cut from this year’s
budget for alcohol treatment and
awareness programs be restored so
they may reach more students and
people in the community.
The task force released recommen
dations earlier this week about how
the University can reduce the prob
lems created by alcohol among stu
dents at the University and in the
community
M. Lee Upcraft, co-chairman of the
task force and division director of
counseling and health services, said
the task force recommends the Uni
versity restore the $7,000 cut, from
this year’s budget to Total Alcohol
Awareness Program (TAAP).
TAAP offers programs, including
films and discussion groups, mostly
for the 14,000 University residence
hall students. But with extra funding,
TAAP would be able to reach more
students and community members,

William Eck, chairman of the task
force’s alcohol awareness and treat
ment subcommittee, said.
At least $25,000 dollars a year is
needed for TAAP to continue and
expand its services, Upcraft said.
TAAP currently works on a budget
of about $20,000. About $lO,OOO of this
comes from the University, while the
remainder comes from grants and
fees from the services for the resi
dence halls, he said.
Eck said the increase represents a
“bare bones budget” which would
cover the salaries for a full-time
director, two graduate assistants and
some of the expenses of their pro
grams.
If the additional funding is provided
by the administration, Eck said,
TAAP would be able to expand its
services to reach more people. If
TAAP tried to reach more people
with its current budget, it would
overextend itself, he said.
“TAAP will be able to reach out a
little more,” Eck said. “It could
provide a greater amount of service
work; with management positions come hard work.”

to meet the demands that are increas
ing ”
Demands for TAAP’s services are
increasing because more people want
to become more aware of alcohol use
and abuse, Eck said. With an in
crease of alcohol abuse among stu
dents, more programs and services
are needed to help them, he said.
“We’re right on the verge of getting
the support of the administration,”
Eck said, “so we can keep doing what
we have been and to do even ipore.”
Eck said with increased funding,
TAAP will be able to increase its
existing programs including counsel
ing intervention services and pro
grams for community groups.
Upcraft said the task force also
recommends more funding for other
alcohol treatment and awareness
programs, such as On Drugs, Inc.,
236% S. Allen St., and the Universi
ty’s Counseling and Psychological
Services (CAPS).
Upcraft said 3,800 University stu
dents comprised 40 percent of the 8,-
837 clients of On Drugs in 1984. The
University currently provides $B,OOO
•Whole wheat dough available

to the agency. More University funds
are needed, he said, since On Drugs
provides services like counseling and
referrals which the University can
not.
Upcraft said the University also
needs to provide more resources to
CAPS to offer more diagnostic and
referral services to alcohol abusers.
The task force recommended that
the University create more treatment
programs and expand curricular ef
forts to teach students about alcohol
uses and abuses. These programs and
existing awareness programs should
be made more available to students,
staff and the community.
The task force recommended that
the programs should be designed to
meet the individual needs of high
school students, college students,
adults and University employees.
Eck said the University held
workshops on alcohol use and abuse
for the faculty and staff in the early
1980 s. However, these programs were
discontinued due to a lack of funding,
despite a good response to them.

Dow falls below 1,300
for three-month low
By JAMES F. PELTZ
AP Business Writer
NEW YORK A steep decline in
airline stocks led the market sharply
lower yesterday, pushing the Dow
Jones industrial average below 1,300
for the first time in three months.
Computer, auto, retail and health
care issues also were notable losers.
The Dow Jones average of 30 indus
trials skidded 10.98 to 1,298.16, closing
at its lowest level since it stood at
1,297.38 on June 19. The Dow Jones
transportation average tumbled 13.70
to 645.83.
Declines overall led advances by
nearly 3-to-l on the New York Stock
Exchange, with 79 issues setting 52-
week lows. The NYSE composite
index fell 0.90 to 104.89.
Big Board volume swelled to 111.93
million shares from 66.70 million on
Monday, when many traders were
absent to observe Rosh Hashana, the
Jewish new year
At the American Stock Exchange,
the market value index plummeted
2.87 to 220.72.
Prices opened mixed but retreated
in the afternoon when airline and
other transportation stocks began
sliding
The selloff in the airline sector
came after Goldman, Sachs & Co.
analyst Michael Armellino cut his
estimate of the up-coming earnings of
AMR, Southwest Airlines and Pied
mont Aviation.
Some other brokerage houses also
have recently downgraded their earn
ings estimates or investment recom
mendations on airline stocks, which
were among the market’s best per
forming groups earlier this year.
Some of the downward revisions have
included warnings that the airlines’
strong traffic growth is slowing.

Yeutter says inti.
trade will improve
By TOM RAUM
AP Economics Writer
WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S.
Trade Representative Clayton
Yeutter yesterday promised Con
gress major market-opening re
sults from President Reagan’s
new trade initiatives and dismiss
ed as “defeatest in nature” a
major Democratic proposal for a
tax on imports
"We would say to the rest of the
world we just can’t compete any
more,” Yeutter told a congressio
nal hearing.
His comments came as adminis
tration and congressional officials
indicated Reagan was shying
away from proposing major new
legislation in his upcoming trade
package
Instead, Reagan will call for
beefed-up enforcement of existing
laws and may lend his support to
certain selected but as yet unspec
ified pieces of legislation now pen
ding in Congress, the officials
said.
Yeutter, .testifying before the
trade subcommittee of the House
Ways and Means Committee, said
tougher negotiating with trading
partners, reducing the federal
budget deficit at home and in
creased competitiveness on the
part of U.S. industry were the best
ways to trim the nation’s trade
imbalance not import re
straints.
His testimony brought a sharp
denunciation from AFL-CIO Pres
ident Lane Kirkland. “Should a
$lO-an-hour production worker
take a pay cut to $4-an-hour in
order to try to restore his prod
uct’s international competitive
ness?” Kirkland asked.
“For the worker, no such option
is available. Continued pressure
for Third World wages will only
result in a Third World economy,”
testified Kirkland, a supporter of
the proposed surcharge.
The testimony came at a hear
ing on legislation by Ways and
Means Chairman Dan
Rostenkowski, D-111., and Rep.
Richard Gephardt, D-Mo., that
would impose a 25 percent sur
charge on products from specific
nations principally Japan,
South Korea, Taiwan and Brazil
with large trade imbalances with
the United States.
“I, along with most members of
this committee, am not a protec
tionist. Nor am I a patsy. I don’t
think we should rush out and beat
up on our trading partners. Nor do
I think we should continue to let
them beat up on us,’’
Rostenkowski said.
But Yeutter, claiming the legis
lation had “problems too numer
ous to articulate,” said: “It turns
the whole philosophy of American
capitalism upside down,” noting
that only those countries who were
competing efficiently would be
subject to the surcharge.
He also said the surcharge
would be directly passed along to
U.S. consumers in the form of
higher prices.
At the same time, Yeutter pre
dicted that the nation’s trade defi
cit, approaching $l5O billion, is
“very close to peaking out” and
would soon begin to recede.
