Students learn how to handle alcohol
The two groups hosted the program to educate the University community about taking responsibility when the lives of

friends may be in danger.
Erica Upshaw, founder of Keep Friendship Alive, was the keynote speaker at Friday night's event. The Keep Friendship Alive program is designed to equip students to be prepared for situations similar to those that Jason Wren's friends may have faced.
"After Jason's death, it hit the KU community pretty hard that there is a cultural drinking problem at KU," said Matt Abraham, president of the Sigma
Alpha Epsilon fraternity and a sophomore from Overland Park. "We want to shed light on it and hopefully be able to prevent something like that from happening again."
More than 200 students attended the event. Upshaw, who told the story of her own brother's death from the over-consumption of GHB, known as liquid ecstasy and used as a date-rape drug, challenged the students to "party smart." Her guidelines included knowing
when to stop drinking or to call emergency services for help.
"Our campus has come a long way since last spring," said Tara Truitt, president of Delta Gamma and a junior from Spring Hill. "We still have far to go, but this is a step in the right direction."

ODD NEWS
Government buys flood-prone land
CHELSEA, Iowa — Experts say one of the most cost-effective ways of limiting damage in flood-prone areas may be to simply move residents to drier land.
The federal government has spent about $1.5 billion since 1993 to help buy 40,000 flood-prone properties, a majority of them in the Upper Midwest. It works with state and local governments, who tear the homes down and replace
them with green space, parks or wildlife refuges. The initial cost saves money down the road on sandbagging, emergency shelters, rescues and cleanup.
But some homeowners say they don't want to move and prefer to take their chances, rebuilding as needed. In other areas, officials aren't interested in managing the teardowns and open space or haven't been able to find a place for residents to move.
