STUDENT HEALTH SERVICES
GREAT SAFE HOLIDAY BREAK
Approximately 25,000 people are killed each year in alcohol-related auto crashes in the United States. That means one person loses his or her life in an alcohol-related crash every 20 minutes! Moreover, the alcohol-related fatal crash rate of young drivers between the ages of 16 and 24 is three times greater than that of older drivers. During the Holiday Season the rate of both drinking and driving increases for students, many of whom are going home to relax, unwind and get away from the pressures of school. You can help make this a GREAT SAFE HOLIDAY BREAK by observing the simple common sense suggestion outlined below.
Suggestions for staying alive & having a GREAT SAFE HOLIDAY BREAK:
Don't Drink and Drive. Remember, the leading cause of death for young people is alcohol-related auto crashes.
Don't ride with an alcohol or drug impaired driver. Over 20 percent of the fatally injured victims in alcohol-related crashes are passengers in the drinking driver's vehicles.
Don't let a friend drive drunk.
(PLEASE DETACH)
THE GREAT SAFE HOLIDAY BREAK
PLEDGE CARD
Always buckle up your seat belt. On weekends between 7pm and 3am in some parts of the country, 10 percent of all drivers are legally impaired or drunk. Your seat belt is your best defense against the alcohol or drug impaired driver. Buckle Up!
...a student at the University of Kansas,
hereby sign this pledge for a GREAT SAFE HOLIDAY BREAK. During this Holiday
Season, I will not drink and drive; I will not ride in a vehicle with an alcohol or drug
impaired driver; I will not let a friend drunk drank and I will always buckle up my seat belt

KU reviews pilot teacher program
By Tracy Wilkinson Kansan staff writer
School of Education deems state-ordered support unnecessary
A November report by the School of Education confirmed the need for an informal, but not state-mandated, support network for new elementary and secondary teachers.
The report reviewed a state government pilot program designed to evaluate and determine certification for first-year teachers in Kansas, said John Poggio, associate dean of education.
He said the program's roots reached back to the 1982-83 education reform movement.
The pilot program had two primary goals. One was to provide continued professional development for teachers. The other was to protect the public trust in the educational system.
The first-year-teacher program began in 1884 and ended this month with the review.
implemented from 1985 to 1988 and evaluated this year.
The teacher internship program was defined in 1984, constructed and
Carol Laskowski, a KU graduate, is a first-year teacher at Quail Run Elementary School, 1130 Inverness Dr.
The findings of the evaluation did not deny the importance of an induction program, Foggio said, but showed that 94 to 98 percent of first-year teachers said that informal support networks already existed.
Poggio said some new teachers had reported a bad experience or a lack of network support.
He said those incidents were relatively rare, from 2 to 4 percent, and were not enough to merit a state-mandated internship program.
Laskowski graduated in 1984 with a degree in secondary education but chose to work in other fields until last year when he was certified in elementary education;
"At that point the program took on an assistance and evaluation aspect," he said. "It has a much bigger better defined assistance flavor."
Poggio said that part of the pilot program, a one-year certification system for new teachers, was dropped in 1988.
Laskowski said her experience as a first-year teacher has been positive.
"There is a period when you traverse from being a student to a working professional," Poggio said. "An induction program is unques-
tionally necessary, but we don't need a state mandate."
A state mandate would incur unnecessary expense, he said.
"It's been great," she said. "The staff has been really supportive, open and wanting to help."
Laskowski said that although she realized the reception of new teachers might vary from school to school, she did not think a state-mandated assistance program was necessary, especially for KU graduates.
"People who graduate from KU have a good basis for what they're doing anyway," she said.
