Comedienne to Present Show on Alcohol AbuseWendi Fox, a nation-

ally acclaimed comicappearing nationwideon her “AlcoholInsanity Tour,” willstop at FSU on Tuesday,Oct. 10, at 7 p.m. inthe Lane Center Multi-Use Room. Her show isfree and open to thepublic.

For the past eightyears, Fox has touredthe U.S. as a stand-upcomic at colleges andclubs, with appearanceson radio and television.

Fox tackles the issue of alcohol abusehead-on with information, feeling and adistinctively twisted sense of humor.Drawing from her own experiencegrowing up in an alcoholic environment,she focuses on why people becomealcoholics, the painful family legaciesalcoholics create and ways for thoseaffected to heal themselves.

“I think part of the problem that wehave with alcohol and drugs is that weare trying to avoid being human,” shesays. “We are trying to avoid pain,

sadness, embarrassment, when, in fact,that is a part of evolution.”

According to Fox, ultimately, sub-stance abuse and low self-esteem areintertwined. It’s easy for those growingup in alcoholic families to feel victim-ized. Fox tries to encourage those hurtby alcoholism to realize that they doindeed have the power to improve theirlives and thus transform a legacy of hurtinto one of hope.

The sponsors for this event are theS.A.F.E. Office and BURG. For informa-tion, call the S.A.F.E Office at x4761.

new pastime at FSU, here are a fewthings to think about. Remember:

-- To think of the employees who arehelping to move your office.

-- Not to overload packing boxes.-- That if the box is too heavy for you

to lift, it may be too heavy for them.-- To request additional packing boxes

instead of overloading a few.-- That accident prevention is the

responsibility of all employees.
