SADD Goals SADD enables concerned, respon sible students to respond in a proactive way to a major killer of their age group - drunk driving. The program combines abuse prevention with practical solu tions to DWl situations. The major objectives of the SADD College Pro gram are to: 1. Help eliminate the drunk driver and save lives. 2. Promote responsible behavior by college students by not mixing driving with drugs or alcohol. .1. Reduce the number of alcohol related deaths, injuries, and arrests in college communities. 4. Encourage responsible use of alco holic beverages by students of legal age who choose to drink. 5. Demonstrate that the majority of college students are responsible adults with a genuine concern for alleviating the DWl issue. SADD on Campus Recognizing that drinking has tra ditionally been a part of college social life. SADD promotes respect for all laws relating to the use of alcoholic beverages, and hopes to raise aware ness of the drinking and driving problem so that students will be better able to deal with or avoid potential drinking and driving incidents involving them selves and others. The SADD College Program has three major components; campus activities, community aware ness. and the SADD College “Contract for l.ile."

In Time For Easter A little boy came home from school all excited because a beautiful white rabbit named Snowball, used in na ture study class, was to be given to some pupil in the class. To take part in the drawing, each child had to bring a note from home saying his parents would let him keep the animal if he won it. The thought of another pet to cope with unnerved Willie’s mother, but rationalizing that the chances of los ing were rather good, with 28 others in the class, she gave Willie the note. That afternoon Willie rushed home and wildly announced that Snowball was his. “You mean that out of the whole class, you won the bunny?" his mother asked incredulously. “Well, not ’zactly,” Willie said. “1 was the only one with a note!” RIDDLES /, WAen does the teacher wear sun-. glasses? tVhen she has bright pup Us. 2.

What occurs once in every minute, twice in every moment, yet never in a thousand years? The letter M. by Diane Marcum Why Bother Being Kind? Be Kind to Animals Week is May 6-12, 1990. Ever thought why one should be kind to animals? Surely not just because you should or because you might be punished in some way for not being kind. Why then? Chew on these six reasons: First - Because animals are sentient creatures. They feel pain and are ren dered unhappy even by hard words. Second - Because it is the worst form of cowardice to ill-treat creatures who can neither make complaint nor ask for redress. Third - Because every act of cruelty and cowardice deteriorates and degen erates the character of the perpetrator. Fourth - Because there is abundant proof that such debasement is liable to lead to crime. Cruelty is a constituent part of all the worst crimes. Fifth - Because society is composed of units and as a whole would be incalculably improved and elevated if the individuals composing it refrained from cruelty and adopted the practice of kindness to every living creature. Sixth - Because the practice of kind ness to every living creature or humane ness involves the universal and specific application of the Golden Rule, which would bring permanent peace between nations and radically change for the better the entire social order. First Stamp Issued In 1840 On May 6, 1840, the first govern- ment-issued postage stamp was born. It was a one penny stamp, the famous “Penny Black” which was sponsored by Rowland Hill, in connection with postal reform, when uniform penny postage was introduced. The stamp shows a profile of Queen Victoria, the words “Postage” at the top and “One Penny” at the bottom. The name of the country was omitted, because the face of the Queen was adequate identification. Also, it was intended for use within England only and no other country had issued stamps at that time. However, up to this day, not one stamp issued in England shows the name of the country. By 1855 most civilized countries had followed Great Britain’s lead in re forming their postal system and in issuing postage stamps. Passover, the most ancient of all the Jewish festivals will be celebrated by Jews all over the world beginning April 10 this year. For more than two thousand years, Passover (Pesach) has been considered by Jews everywhere to be the great holiday, the festival of redemption. Originally, it was a spring festival at the dawn of history when Jews were still nomadic shepherds in the wilder ness. As time went by, however, it became a historic and national holiday, commemorating the deliverance of the Jewish people from their bondage in Egypt. For Jews today it mirrors a hope for freedom and equality for all mankind. Jews everywhere celebrate Passover with a ceremonial meal called the “Seder” (which means “Order of Ser vice”) which takes place in most homes in some synagogues. During the Seder the story of the Exodus is recited, songs and ceremonial prayers are performed, and symbolical foods of Passover are eaten. The most important Passover food is “matzo,” unleavened bread, called by Jews the “bread of affliction.” It is unleavened as a reminder of the Law Day USA - May 1 “Where law ends, tyranny begins,” observed William Pitt. He recognized that throughout history the rule of the tyrant meant oppression and brutality. Here in America we believe there is a law higher then the rule of the strong or the greedy. We believe in a moral force, a higher law. This is not a purely American concept. The ancient Greeks believed in a law higher than man. So did the Romans. Our politcal ancestors, the English, did too - and they acted on that belief. Do you remember how the barons got fed up with King John’s arbitrary use of power? And how they forced him to sign the Great Charter of 1215 - the Magna Carta? No longer could an English ruler put a man in prison without due process of law. No longer could he take away his liberty without a trial by jury. And 500 years later, a group of men in Philadelphia wrote that very same principle into the world’s greatest politi cal document. They referred to it as “equal protec tion under the law.” They made sure their new, exciting, inexperienced gov ernment would observe certain basic rights. Todaythe U.S. Constitution protects our lives, our property, our liberty against arbitrary seizure by a central government. DOWN: 1. Children do this to eggs: They them. 2.

Its thinness, too, is a reminder of the meagerness of the fare of the dispossessed, the poor, and the outcasts of society. During the ceremony Jews also eat “bitter herbs,” which recall the bitterness of the years of oppression under Pha raoh. A sprig of parsley on the table is a survival of the prehistoric days when Passover was a festival of spring. A roasted shank bone serves as an emblem of the paschal lamb; and the “charoset,” a mixture of apples, nuts, raisins, cin namon and wine, is a symbol of the mortar from which the Isarelites made bricks for the Egyptian Pharaohs during their slavery. Each person present must drink four cups of wine; the wine is intended to recall the four divine pro mises of redemption made by God to the children of Israel and to remind Jews that, despite the bitterness of exile, there is sweetness in the word of God. The Last Supper in the New Testament was probably a Seder meal and the Passover matzo and wine were percursors of the communion wafer and wine. A smile increases your face value Two students at North Carolina State University took a textile chemi stry course together. One day 1 heard them discussing the poor grades their whole class received on an exam. “Do you think the professor will grade on the curve?” one asked. “No,” the other replied, “not after the comment he made when handing back the tests.” “What comment was that?” “ if ignorance is bliss, why aren’t more of you smiling?’ ” College is a fountain of knowledge — where some come la drink — and others come just to gargle. A biology instructor at Temple University in Philadelphia told us about a student who placed his term paper on the roof of his car while loading books and packages. He then got in his car and drove off, forgetting about the paper. Realizing what he had done, he drove back to his starting point, placed a magazine of the same size on the car roof and retraced his route. When the magazine blew off, he stopped the car and found his paper only a few feet away. ACROSS: 11. The Easter bunnies name. 12. Easter is in 13. 90/ 25 +1. 14. What color is the Easter bunny. 15.
