DraSo aflctoBt'dl rarasirainn) seelkninis c By GRANT PARSONS Staff Writer The UNC-CH Drug and alcohol Outreach Program is looking for students to act as peer counselors so it can become fully operational this semester. The program now is operating with a minimal staff and shortened hours, said Thomas Mills, who co founded the Outreach Program with his brother Fetzer last spring. "Right now, I don't know if we can handle an overload of students," Thomas Mills said. "But right now I'm more worried about a student coming in here and not getting the counseling he needs." Students interested in becoming peer counselors would have to complete a training seminar given by Orange-Person-Chatham Mental Health Center, and would have to devote about 10 hours per month to the program, Mills said. "We would have to ask for a commitment from S! anyone who decided to go through the training," he said. "It's training that would otherwise cost money." The Outreach Program now is open from I until 7 p.m., Monday through Thursday, and from I until 4 p.m. Fridays in Room 228 of the Student Union, but Mills said he hoped to operate 24 hours per day with the new counselors. There will be a meeting for all interested students in the Frank Porter Graham Lounge on the second floor of the Student Union Thursday Sept. 5, at 7:30 p.m. Students can call 962-1400 for additional information. The Outreach Program, started in an effort to give students with drug problems a place to turn for help, originally was staffed by doctors from OPC and students, but the doctors are not involved in counseling this semester. "I'm not sure where they went," Mills said. "This summer was an organizational period, and at the end tors. of the summer nobody offered (professional) volunteer help." The center still will provide outpatient therapy, and if needed, inpatient therapy, Mills said. . "If we can get enough counselors with proper training to staff the office, it will be better (than with doctors)," he said. "Students are more willing to talk to other students than with professionals." At the end of the spring semester, the Outreach Program was averaging one phone call or student walk-in per day, Mills said. "If one persons calls in a day, at least I feel that you are reaching out to someone. It probably means that there are many more out there who need help. It shows a real need for a program like this. "We're not in the business of telling people what they are doing is wrong," Mills said. "We're here to help them define their problem, and help them find the answers." Grace period may make Oct 1 buckle up less painnfuiB By CRYSTAL BAITY Staff Writer It's downright uncomfortable at times, but wearing a seat belt may save your life. On Oct. 1, wearing a seat belt means abiding by the law. That's the day a mandatory seat belt law will most likely take affect in North Carolina, for drivers and their pas sengers under 12. The bill has already won approval by a Senate Judiciary I committee and goes before the full Senate this week. The bill allows a 15 month grace period, leaving time for motorists to accustom themselves with the straps. The $25 fine for breaking the law would become effective Jan. 1, 1987. Officers will probably be giving verbal warnings during the grace period since it will take the officers themselves some time to get used to looking for violators, said Keith Lohmann, police planner with the Chapel Hill Police Dept. "The first thing we will do is check at accident scenes," he said. "The second thing is we will have officers checking while they are on routine patrol, the same way as when they check for speeders or red light offenders." Seat belt infractions will be consi dered an equipment violation, reulting in some type of fine, said Lohmann. He said it would take people a few months to get adjusted to wearing seat belts and that he believed a grace period was fair. "I sincerely hope they do provide a grace period, because it will take a while to get used to," Lohmann said. "We will certainly not go out on Oct. 1 and set up roadblocks on Airport Road to see who is wearing their seat belt." Lohmann said Chapel Hill already has a high percentage of residents buckling up and statistics by the Highway Safety Research Center show the same. Fifty-two percent of all Chapel Hill Carrboro drivers are wearing their seat belts, according to Bill Hunter, program manager for engineering studies at the Center. Part of the credit goes to a successful "Seat Belts Pay Off" campaign con ducted by the Center between April and October of 1983. "It (seat belt usage) increased from 24 percent to 41 percent by October of 1983," said Hunter. "It fluctuated after that from 37 percent to 40 percent until recently while legislature debated over the law," he said. The Center's staff members spot checked motorists and gave them coupons for wearing their seat belts. The campaign was copied in several areas, including Waynesville and Winston-Salem, Hunter said. "I expect to see a large public information program set into affect if the bill becomes law," he said. "We will continue looking at usage rates across the state to determine who is wearing their seat belt." Be prepared to buckle up. Volunteers are the front line in the battle against birth defects, our nation's major child health problem. In schools, offices, homes, factories, and civic organizations, it's people power that makes the difference.
