Cadets tour Texas base While most University students were heading home for the Christ mas holidays, eight Air Force ROTC Cadets were southbound for San Antonio, Tex., to join other AFROTC cadets from seven Northwest schools for a five-day visit. Cadets were provided with an opportunity to see part of the Air Force in action as they toured Lackland Air Force Base (AFB) and Randolph AFB. While at Lackland, the cadets toured the Defense Language School, which teaches English to people from more than 36 foreign nations. At Randolph AFB, the group received briefings on Air Force man ning and the promotion system. All seniors met with their career coun selors at the Military Personnel Center. The cadets also had one day to explore San Antonio and tour sights such as the Alamo and the Tower of the Americas. Transportation to Texas was provided by the Air Force, and each cadet paid his own traveling costs.

Firms can help drinkers How employee assistance programs can help employees with drinking problems will be the topic of the next Community Alcohol Education Program tonight at 7:30 at the Central Presbyterian Church, 1475 Ferry St. Ric Brown of Weyerhaeuser Personnel Department will be the speaker, and the film “Case 7201” will be shown. The free program is designed for the general public and coordinated by Lane County Coun cil on Alcoholism as part of its weekly series. A successful program of help for employees, according to Brown, requires cooperative effort of the business and its employees, often represented by their labor unions. He says help is offered to those asking for it on a voluntary basis, and may be required of those whose job performance reveals a problem. ■ PEANUTS HOW CAN WE PLAV MOCKBf' WITH THAT 5TUPID 6fRL LVlNGONTHE ICE? -Ui b\ ( h«rlr« M Srhul/ 00 VOU \ 51/RE!

Project seeking smokers Interested in kicking the habit? The Oregon Smoking Control Pro ject will now accept people, especially those who smoke cigarette brands with high levels of tar and nicotine, like Marlboro or Salem. The stop smoking program consists of six weekly small group meetings. A nicotine fading technique will be used whereby smokers gradually reduce their tar and nicotine intake over the six weeks. Craig Beaver, with the Smoking Project, says smokers using the technique “have enjoyed over a 50 per cent abstinence rate at long term followup in previous smoking control studies." In the past, adversive smoking techniques have been used in the program; however, they have been discontinued. Other components besides the nicotine fading may be added to the program, according to individual need. The program charge is $5 for six sessions, with a $25 refundable deposit. Those interested should call the smoking clinic at 686-4964 between 3 and 6 p.m., Monday through Friday. Beaver suggests calling soon, as a limited number of people can be accepted at this time. briefs MEETINGS The Campus Zen Fellowship wet meet tor lunch today from 12:00-12.30 p.m. in the EMU.
