The Michigan Daily - Monday, November 18, 2002 - 7A Strips indicate rlsk of drivig after dnizkbzg ALCOHOL Continued from Page 1A Angel Vice President Jeff Scult. "The product is not intended to green-light driving, but rather to help people understand the risk they're taking if they do." But if people are drinking and driv- ing, they already know the risks involved, said Gail Epstein, bartender at Ashley's on South State Street. "(The strips) are not going to deter people from driving. If they're going to drink and drive, they will anyway. Actually knowing their blood alcohol level will not stop them from starting the ignition," she said. "The strips have some utility, but when you're drinking, you have to know your own limit and have friends that will tell you when you've reached it. I have friends I would trust over a test strip," said Rackham student Paul Bohensky. Scult said the product is actually intended as an intervention tool for people who think their friends aren't OK to drive. "Every friend has a friend that is more sober than them," he said. He added that the strips are also meant for well-intentioned adults who use the product throughout the evening to monitor their drinking. Whether the strips are encouraged by friends or purchased by the drinkers themselves, the drinkers' sense of judgement must be used, Bohensky said. "My question is, how accurate are they?" Scult said the strips have been proven reliable in lab tests and by law enforcement agencies in at least 15 states. Tim DeGlopper, a bartender at Red Hawk Grill on South State Street, believes differently. "I've heard they're not very accu- rate," he said. "If you compare them with an actual breathalyzer, the strips show a couple points lower." "Of course, that doesn't mean breathalyzers are right either - they could be purposely too high," he added. Whether or not they are reliable, DeGlopper said the strips are not a bad idea. "A lot of people definitely don't realize how few drinks it takes to put you over the legal limit," he said. He added that police can give tickets for driving while impaired, which is defined as having a blood alcohol level of .08. Scult said the strips are extremely popular on campuses nationwide. Sororities and fraternities purchase them in "party packs" that they hand out at gatherings, and many campuses sell them at bookstores, he said. In and Out on East University Avenue and the Diag Party Shoppe on South State Street are the only places in Ann Arbor selling the strips. Employees at both stores said the prod- uct is not a big seller. Although Scult said the product is a popular part of DUI prevention pro- grams at law enforcement agencies, workers at both the state of Michigan and Ann Arbor police departments had never heard of the product. In response Scult said the product hasn't had a chance to get to Ann Arbor, but that the product and "party packs" are available online at www. drugstore. com. CERT Continued from Page IA He added he doesn't think anyone who is being academically honest can deny that the country is in need of a new Supreme Court standard regarding the use of race in admis- sions. "Even (the University of) Michigan doesn't think that precedent from Bakke is clear," Levey said. Although amicus briefs filed at this stage in proceedings usually do not have much of an effect, he said this brief makes a powerful argu- ment. "If I would pick one that would have effect, this would be it," Levey said. "It takes a case that was likely to get cert and makes it more likely." Jonathan Alger, University assistant general counsel, said the fact that the University has not had any amicus briefs filed on its side at the cert stage does not reflect a lack of general Uni- versity support. from it BUSINESS demand Continued from Page 1A culturet resource management practices. sociallyj Change in corporate culture "cannot Whil be accomplished overnight," she said. improve "It takes a fundamental shift in how a Busines firm conducts its business and learns Develop "There is nobody on our side that has filed an amicus brief because we haven't asked anyone to," he said, adding that the University had sup- port in the lower courts from a broad array of institutions and corporations. Alger said if the Supreme Court does grant cert, the University plans to request amicus briefs to be filed on its behalf. "It's much more important when you're deal- ing with the merits of the case," he said. "Right now it's just a (procedural) question of whether the Supreme Court will review the case." Alger said it was important to note that in fil- ing their brief on behalf of Barbara Grutter, the states were not necessarily agreeing with her on the merits of the case "In fact, I expect quite the opposite," he said, adding that any group requesting cert would at this stage have to file on behalf of Grutter. The Supreme Court has yet to rule whether it will hear either the case facing the Law School or that facing the College of Literature, Science and the Arts, which is still awaiting a decision in the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals. METEORS Continued from Page 1A trast of the skies is less hindered by street lamps or other sources of light. Even after escaping city lights, overcast condi- tions and fog may prevent the meteors from being viewed. "I'm praying for good weather," he said. Rackham student Joe Bernstein, a doctoral candidate in astronomy and astrophysics, said the presence of a full moon tonight may also dull visibility. "There will likely be over 3,500 meteors, but you are only going to see the brightest ones," Bernstein said. Nevertheless, producing 2,000 or more visible meteors per hour, the second wave of meteors is predicted to be the more spectacular. Seeing the astronomic spectacle will be an historic event in its own right. The trail of meteoric debris that will be visible in Europe was emitted during its passage around the sun in 1767 while the second wave of the storm will feature debris emitted in 1866. The University Lowbrow Astronomers will host an open house at Hudson Mills Metropark in Dexter tonight beginning at sunset to allow the public to view the Leonid meteors through telescopes. The park will stay open all night until dawn for the event. ts environment. This may moving from a bureaucratic to one more humanistic and responsible." e companies still have room to e, Al Cotrone, director of the ss School Office of Career pment, noted that many posi- tive changes have been made in the past two decades. "Everyone's doing a better job," he said, in regard to minority recruit- ment. "People are more accommodating. Companies are always looking for top talent and they seem to be very con- scientious about making their work environment open and inviting to anyone." Wooten said she plans to conduct further studies in the future regarding this subject, including one on strate- gic implications of human resource management. BODY IMAGE Continued from Page 1A finished rushing a sorority, but found that weight issues were not a major issue during the process. "I felt like rush was judging you totally, but you have to remember that the girls went through it the year before so they're not as judgmental as you think." As 16 percent of the University's campus is involved in the Greek system, there are many women living together in sorority houses. Brzenchek has made presentations in many of these houses and finds the educational outreach present at these houses a very positive thing. She said support from fellow sisters is critical when dealing with weight and eating issues. "They help you through it. They make you feel so much better, so much more important than weight," said LSA freshman Kristi Paris. "Panhel tries to empower its members through edu- cation," Panhel President Monica Rose said. Brzenchek said working with a well-organized group of women helps with her programs because the women are more receptive and they can form collec- tive empowerment. "They're asking me to come," Brzenchek said. She has tried to make contact with women in the residence halls but it is harder to concentrate on developing programming there because the women are disconnected. Brzenchek develops and presents interactive pro- grams that focus on the prevention of eating disorders. When speaking, she focuses on empowerment and advocacy. In an effort to develop long-term programming that will actually change the socialization of women, Brzenchek works with the University Media Aware- ness Coalition, an organization that works on "chal- lenging destructive media messages through literacy, activism and advocacy." Brzenchek feels that socialization and mass media portray unrealistic images of what a woman should look like, leading to problems with body image. An average woman is 5-foot-4, 144 pounds and a size 12. An average model is 5-foot-lI and 117 pounds - a weight that is 23 percent below the recommended weight-height chart. "We all sit around and read magazines and you'll see girls that look perfect and just when you start to feel badly about yourself, your friends are there to remind you that you don't need to look like that and they're probably fake anyway," Paris said. the michigan daily RENTS AS LOW AS $540 A MONTH FOR YOUR OWN BEDROOM** NOVEMBER SPECIAL $100 Off Security Deposit Offer Expires 11/30/02 Present this coupon when you sign your lease - - - - - -""-"."- -"-" ---as - Furnished studio, one, two & three bedroom apartments Excellent location Heat & Water included - Access to High Speed Internet in ALL apartments -Excellent maintenance - 24 hour on-call service ".24 Hour Lobby Attendant -In house laundry facilities, study lounge, swimming pool, and much more...
