An evening at Carnegie Hall
By Claire Armetta Staff  Writer
With  spring  break  quickly  approaching,  University  Police  and  the  Alcohol  and  Other  Drug  Abuse  thought  it  would  be  the  perfect  time  to  spend  a  week  re- minding  students  to  be  safe  while  they  soak  up  the  sun. Amanda  Krentz,  Wellness  and  AODA  drug  educator,  helped  organized  the  event.   “The  coalition  wanted  to  make  sure  students  got  infor- mation  about  alcohol  and  other  drugs  before  they  went  off  to  spring  break,â€?  Krentz  said. From  March  11  to  15,  there  will  be  different  activities  every  day.   On  March  11,  students  can  register  for  a  chalking  event  indi- vidually  or  with  a  group. Krentz  said  students  can  “chalk  about  an  alcohol  related  message  they  would  receive  from  the  wellness  staff  to  raise  aware- ness  on  how  to  party  safe.â€? The  “Party  with  the  Policeâ€?  section  of  the  week  will  take  place  March  12.   “The  Univer- sity  Police  have  a  representative  Krentz on  our  AODA  c o a l i t i o n , â€?  Krentz  said.   “Their  representa- tive  thought  it  would  be  a  great  idea  for  the  University  Police  to  put  on  an  event  for  one  of  the  days  during  the  week.â€? One  of  the  events  during  “Party  with  the  Policeâ€?  will  con- sist  of  a  booth  where  students  can  take  sobriety  tests  and  ask  police  RIÂż FHUV TXHVWLRQV LQ D FRPIRUW able  setting  at  the  mall  west  of  the  University  Bookstore.

There  will  also  be  a  self-Âde-Â
