"It leads to all sorts of problems that can sometimes last a lifetime for students." 1. francis said the week's activities would urge students to think about their actions and not to drink in excess. "I think the idea that drunk driving is dangerous has reached the majority of students," said Burdel Welsh, police officer. "But the idea that it's dangerous to drink to excess has not yet sunk in." Tim Marks, GAMMA president. said that mature management of alcohol on dates would be promoted in a game Programsthisweek Today — An information table with free gifts and non-alcoholic drinks will be set up from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in front of Wescoe Hall.

New justice Ginsburg jumps into questioning The Associated Press WASHINGTON — Judging by her energetic questioning from the bench. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is quickly hitting full stride in her new job. "She basically pushed him to concede the case," said Georgetown university law professor Susan Deller Ross.

"She has hit the ground running," said Stuart Gerson, former acting attorney general. "Being on the court is awe-inspiring, but she is not awe-struck." Ginsburg's performance is being likened to the equally fast start in 1986 by Justice Antonin Scalia, her former federal appeals court colleague. New justices often hold back when just arriving on the bench. "It's not just that she's asking lots of questions. It's that she's asking outstanding questions that get to the heart of the matter," said Georgetown law professor Susan Low Bloch. Justice David Souter waited three weeks to ask his first question in 1990. Now a frequent and incitative questioner. Souter admits finding the job over- In the sexual-harassment case, the lawyer representing the woman, who filed the lawsuit against a Tennessee company, did not escape close questioning either. Ginsburg suggested he was making the case more complicated than it should be. - ABORTION ASSISTANCE- LowCost Early Abortion Services Wichita Women's Center • BC/BS • Mastercard • Visa Toll Free Dial "1" & then ...800 467 4340 Software Sale Why Macintosh is Ranked the Highest in Cornering Ability computer that can give you the inside track to success.
