Irresponsible driving, unsafe sex and alcohol abuse are spring break behaviors that Safe Break, a series of events slated for next week, aims to prevent.
The slogan for this year's program is "Operation '99: Your mission is to make smart sensible choices, which in turn will result in a safe spring break."
Safe break, which is sponsored by Watkins Memorial Health Center and the KU Public Safety Office, has events scheduled for March 15, 16 and 17.
"It is important to educate and inform students so that they can completely enjoy spring break and not have unforeseen consequences," said Aimee Foppe, a health educator at Watkins.
SAFE BREAK EVENTS

"The Rollover Machine," demonstrated from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday at Wescoe Beach. Watkins Memorial Health Center employees also will distribute spring break care packages.
Said, She Said”—a discussion on sexual communication—will take place from 8 to 11 p.m. at the main lobby in Corbin Hall, Adam Yarbrough, former resident assistant, and Laura Bennett, director of scholarships at Watkins Scholarship Hall, will lead the discussion.
"Perspectives can differ when seen through a man or a women's eyes." Bennett said.
She said they hoped to spark a lively and open discussion.
There also will be a drawing for prizes, such as T-shirts, food coupons and a free message.
On Tuesday, mock-cocktails,
such as non-alcoholic margaritas,
pifa coladas and daiquiris, will be served from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at Ekdahl Dining Commons.
Also Tuesday, the 1975 thriller Jaws will be shown at 9 p.m. at the pool area in Robinson Center. At the event, called "Jaws in the Pool," students either can float in the pool or sit in bleachers while they watch the movie.
Thirty flotation devices will be provided, or students can bring their own. Lifeguards will be present, and students wishing to enter the pool must wear proper swim attire.
"The rollover machine" will be
set up in front of Wescoe Hall Wednesday to show students what happens during a crash when a person isn't wearing a seat belt, said Sgt. Troy Mailen of the KU Public Safety Office.
At a 10 a.m. presentation Wednesday, Chancellor Robert Hemenway will sign a certificate to show KU's support of safety belts and child safety seats. The certificate is part of the Kansas Department of Transportation's "Buck Up Kansas" effort to educate citizens about the importance of these devices.
Wednesday in front of Wescow, representatives from Watkins will give away 500 care packages containing sunscreen, condoms, antibiotic cream, band-aids and general information about keeping safe.
Safe Break has been a part of prespring break student education for eight years.

Students, faculty hear plans for Regents restructuring
By Kristi Reimer

Kanson staff writer
Board of Regents staff members offered faculty and students a rundown on higher-education issues before the Legislature at a meeting of the University Senate yesterday afternoon.
Marvin Burris, director of planning, budget and governmental affairs, explained and answered questions about three plans to restructure the way post-secondary education is governed in Kansas.
One plan is Senate Bill 345, which would abolish the Board of Regents and re-establish a new nine-member board Aug. 1. The new board would comprise three subboards — one to oversee public universities, one for community colleges and technical schools and one for coordination issues.
Faculty members questioned certain aspects of the plan.
psychology
Mary Hawkins, Spencer Research librarian, asked how disputes would be resolved when all three boards had parallel power.
"The three-three-three plan sounds like a formula for a tremendous amount of infighting," said Bob Hohn, professor of psychology.
"It's my understanding that the full board would have final authority," said Tom Bryant, Regents interim director.
Burris said he had read the draft of another plan prepared by Sen. Dave Kerr, R-Hutchinson, chairman of the Ways and Means Committee. Burris said the plan would transfer governance of community and technical colleges to the Board of Regents and implement performancebased funding for those schools.
He said a plan created by the Governor's Task Force for Higher Education Structure for Excellence was stuck in the House Taxation Committee. The plan would require a constitutional amendment because it calls for two new boards.
"As far as we know, it's DOA," Burris said.
When asked if the Regents favored one plan, Bryant said the board was opposed to any plan that would require a constitutional amendment. He said the board would discuss the plans at its meeting next week.
rine Regents staff members also reaffirmed their commitment to raising faculty salaries.
"The government has thrown us a little bit of money, and we are appreciative, but we are not backing off." Bryant said.
