Swiss woman .taken hostage BERN, Switzerland (AP) - A Swiss woman was kidnapped in northern Lebanon Sunday, two days after the abduction of two Swiss Red Cross workers, the Foreign Ministry said yesterday. Ministry spokesman Clemens Birrer said the part-time flight atten- dant was kidnapped by armed civil- ians during a visit to the Mediter- ranean port of Tripoli. The woman's name and age were withheld at the request of her par- ents, Birrer said. Her disappearance brings to 19 the number of Westerners missing in Lebanon, including Americans. Most are believed captives of Shiite Moslems loyal to Iran. Birrer said the woman's parents asked authorities not publicize the case, but he confirmed the kidnap- p ng after being asked to comment on unattributed news reports. SSwitzerland requested help from Syria because Syrian troops control much of northern Lebanon, he added. * Last Friday, two Swiss Interna- tional Red Cross workers, Elio Er- riquez and Emmanual Christen, were abducted in southern Lebanon. There have been no demands and no claims of responsibility in the kidnappings so far, and Birrer said Swiss officials did not assume the woman's abduction was connected to the most recent kidnappings. r- t r The Michigan Daily - Friday, October 13,1989 - Page 5 Collegiate Alcohol Awareness week begins tomorrow By Jennifer Hiri Daily Staff Writer This Saturday marks the begin- ning of National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week in which various groups will try to change student at- titudes on drinking and make them aware of the dangers of alcohol abuse. The Panhellenic Association, the Michigan Student Assembly, and the University Health Service will spon- sor videos and speeches on the dan- gers of alcohol, and hold non-alco- holic beverage giveaways throughout the week. Several area bars and restaurants will also participate in the festivities by offering reduced prices on non-al- coholic beverages. "Pressure is in every school and too many students turn to alcohol to release themselves from tension," said Michele Thompson, an LSA senior, who is the Panhellenic coor- dinator of Alcohol Awareness Week. "The purpose of the entire week is to show students that they can have a lot of fun and at the same time ask themselves, 'Do I really need to drink for entertainment?"' she added. The theme of this year's program is "Think if you drink," a change from last year's slogan, "Think be- fore you drink." "We wanted to stress the impor- tance that students should think about what they are doing while JULIE HOLLMAN/Oaily drinking, not just before," said Thompson. Because of the reputation that sororities and fraternities have for drinking, Thompson is counting on; the Greek system to play a vital part in Alcohol Awareness Week. Workshops featuring speakers from the Substance Abuse Peer Educators will be held at fraternities and sororities throughout the week. All students are invited to the sesj sions. "I think this week is especially, good for the Greeks because their goal is to change this reputation fy' promoting that they are aware of the alcoholic dangers," said Thompson; All students are invited to share in a non-alcoholic party with fret Little Caesar's pizza and soft-drink& Wednesday in the Diag, she added. The University Health Service is donating promotional posters which will be displayed in residence halls and the local campus bars and restau- rants that are participating in the week's programs. "Looking at the whole week as a whole, I'm hoping that everyone will have fun with the absence of al- cohol," said Thompson. Alcohol Awareness Week runs through next Friday.

Search uncovers key clue in investigation of DC-10 crash WASHINGTON (AP) - Federal safety investigators said yesterday they had found a pre-flight crack in the DC-1O engine disk recovered from an Iowa corn field nearly three months after the crash of United Flight 232. James Kolstad, acting chairman of the National Transportation Safety Board, said the precise "size, nature and reason for the crack" were not yet determined. But he said investigators are hopeful further examination of the engine part will lead to the cause of the July 19 crash that killed 112 of 296 people aboard as the plane was landing at the Sioux City, Iowa air- port. "There has been no determination on whether this crack was detectable before the accident. Nor has there been a determination whether this crack is the point of origin of engine failure," said board spokesperson Ted Lopatkiewicz. F I I I I I I I I I I I I I I.
