The Freshman Class has the opportunity to reflect on the first year of college at Widener, while the graduating class has the privilege of looking back on their undergraduate career here. Whether freshman, sophomore, junior or senior, there is a measure of growth in each of us that can not be denied. Each passing year brings us closer to our goals and the reasons why we enrolled at Widener in the first place. Every year at this time we are forced to let go of friends and confidants that have been our companions for at least one year, if not more. As diverse as this University is in the home town areas of students who enroll here, many of us will be saying Off To Washington. · · goodbye for the last time.

DRINKING ... cont. from page 3 How do you know if you have, or may develop, a problem. There are three indicators that I always look at when trying to help a student figure this out. 1. Do you have a history of alcoholism in your family? The genetic history is usually (but not always) present in someone who is at risk. 2. Tolerance - Is the stu­ dent able to drink more and more without getting "wasted?" The body. in an attempt to handle the alcohol. builds a resistance to it. Someone with a very high tolerance might tell me, "I can drink 7 beers and I barely have a buzz!", "I never get sick, no matter how much I drink," or "I can drink a whole lot more than when I was a freshman, even more than last year." Lastly, I look at dependence. Often times at Deee with tolerance comes dependence. Dependence can be physical - the student may need "a few" to feel "normal" or they may exhibit SUMMER I _ withdrawal symptoms when they May 15 - June 22 don't drink. These symptoms can in­ Walk-In Registration and clude nausea, dizziness, shakes, sweats, feeling agitated, loss of ap­ Advising: May 9 and 10 petite, msomnia, depression and a craving for a drink.

Also the dependence can be psychological- "I just feel more Walk-In Registration and at ease when I have a few," "I can't Advising: June 27 and 28 stand being sober at the party," etc. If, after graduation, you feel your drinking may be out of hand or you are becoming concerned I urge you to talk to someone you trust; your family doctor, a friend, a profes­ sional, or a family member.
