Show Messenger-Enterpris- This vehicle, an example of what happens when alcohol or drugs are mixed with driving, was on display on the Snow College campus during Drug and Alcohol Awareness Week. Officials hope to see Awareness Week last all year at Snow College BY DEAN ODRISCOLL I know a lot of you are probably going to have the chance to do drugs but I wish you would dare to be different and stay away from them," were the words of Cincinnati Bengals punter Lee Johnson while speaking to Snow College students Thursday night Several hundred students gathered in the old gym to hear the professional football player tell about his observations of how drugs and alcohol ruined the lives of fellow members of the NFL Its a problem," said Johnson, and my solution is simply, Dont do it." Johnson told the Badgers about how his former Bengals teammate Stanley Wilson ruinedhiscareerbygettinghigh on cocaine the night before the Super Bowl in Miami in 1988. He said, I dont really think that Stanley wanted to be getting high and missing the Super Bowl, but I think that showed he had a real problem. It's called addiction. He added, I just heard that Stanley was recently thrown in jail for stealing in Los Angeles. At one point he was a millionaire and now I know he doesnt have a penny. Its really sad and its all because of drugs. Johnson told the students the greatest moment of his life was being able to play in the super bowl and he couldnt understand how anyone would want to mess that up. Drugs can and do ruin lives... and now with all the drug testing in the NFL a lot of players are turning to alcohol, and thats just as bad." The talk by Johnson was just one of many events on campus as partofthe awareness week. Monday night students attended a Mocktail Party" where students enjoyed entertainment and a dance while drinking drinks. The whole point was to non-alcohol- ic show students that alcohol is not necessary for a good time. An automobile smashed in a drunk driving accident was placed in the middle of a sidewalk so students had to look at it and walk around it all week long. The car was covered with statistics about drinking, driving and death. Saturday night, the week ended with a dance sponsored Jon Judkins, by Coca-ColDirector of the weeks activities, was pleased with the events. I think we tried several different tactics to get the kids attention. We tried to shock them with the serious results of doing drugs and we tried to show them that you can have a good time without putting substances in your body. If we can just make them think about it maybe we can help save some from a bad experience." a.

Snow Forensics squad filling up trophy case BY DEAN O'DRISCOLL The Snow College Forensics team returned to Ephraim from Provo last weekend with a trunk full of trophies they had just won at the Intermountain Invitational held at Utah Valley Community College. Its the second straight weekend the wizards of words have returned to campus with more than a handful of hardware. All six of the people broke (advanced from the preliminary round) at least one thing they took to the tournament into the final round and I think that shows we have a strong overall team, said Coach John Vitullo. Snow College finished third in overall team sweepstakes, just six points out of first place. Vitullo pointed out the fact team only that his had half as many competitors as Ricks College and College of Eastern Utah who edged them out for top honors. We were really delighted to beat Dixie because Dixie has a huge team. I think they had 20 kids on their squad and they have been winning all year. So that felt good and was a real compliment to our kids." This success comes on the heels of the teams outstanding performance at the Great Salt Lake Tournament the previous weekend. In Salt Lake, Snow won Top Junior College in Individual Events and Fifth overall among all 86 colleges er and Universities from around the country. Team members captured six second place prizes, two thirds, a couple of fourth places and one sixth place. That is a remarkable accomplishment at the largest tournament other than a designated National Tournament The individual results from the Provo tournament are as follows: Mixed Oral Interpretation, Michael Corry, 1st place, Angela Hess, 2nd place, and Ron Stewart, 4th place; Dramatic Interpretation, Nicole Nielsen, 4th place; After Dinner Speaking, Ron, 2nd place; Impromptu, Brian Sullivan, 6th place; Prose, Nicole, 4th place, 5th Ron, place; Duo Interpretation, Nicole and Ron, 1st place, Angela and Mike, 3rd place, Debbie Whitehead and 4th Brian, place; Persuasion, Angela, 2nd place; Poetry, Nicole, 1st place; and Readers Theatre, which is a team event, Nicole, Ron, Brian, and Mike, 2nd place. The Badgers will now have time to write a few new speeches and fine tune some of their work before they travel to the Regionals, held in Price on March 5-- 7. The national tournament is March 29-Ap- ril 4 in St Louis. We hope to be able to have our team make a presentation here at Snow in between the Regionals and the Nationals," said Vitullo. It would be good practice for our team and it would give local people a chance to actually see what we are doing."
