of CSU students, as well as children attending 13 elementary schools and five churches in the area. "The contest is aimed at young children to encourage them to say `no' to drugs before they start to use them," said Delta Sigma Theta Chapter President Kelly Garrett. She said the chapter decided to concentrate on the younger age groups because the majority of them are less likely to be using drugs, making them more susceptive to anti-drug influence. Garrett and Delta Sigma Theta Publicity Chairperson Kim Wilbert said the contest will be judged in three age categories, 5-6-year-old, 7-8-year-old and
9-10-year old. The 5-6-year-old category will be judged on posters using the "Just say no to drugs" theme, while the other two will be judged on essays stating the theme in 75 words or less, they added. Garrett said entries must be submitted by April 15, and must include the following information: student's name and age, school and teacher. Entries may be mailed to Delta Sigma Theta, P.O. Box 325, University Center, Edmond, Ok., 73034. Garret said the national sorority began the contest two years ago in an effort to aid foundations and the government in fighting the increasing use of drugs among younger citizens. Contest winners will be chosen from each category, Garrett said.
Working for the students, Shilling said, is one of his most important goals. He hopes to have the student senate represent the wishes and needs of the students, he said. The student senate seats for next year were filled by acclamation.
