B e lg a r d C h o s e n B o o ze P ro b le m s To H e lp a t C e n te r Alcohol and drug abuse is this nation’s number one health problem and lately has it been Chemawa’s? Mrs. Belgard and Mr. LaBuff, who work at Chemawa’s Alcohol Abuse Education Center, not only are taking care of Chemawa’s students but are educating them in alcoholism. Every week-end there are getting to be quite a few students who are caught drinking. The question is wliv? and can anv one help them? From past experience, drinking and tfcftWg drugs do not help solve a problem. Sure it may be fun, you may forget problems, but do become aware that the actions you do while under the influence of alcohol may make’ a bigger problem, after you are sober. The Alcohol Abuse Education Center program is not being forced on you, as a student, not is it to scare you. It’s here to help you and your future. Take advantage of it, cause only Chemawa has this program to help us students. So please, Chemawa students, respect yourself and let’s open our eyes to make our world a better place.
