              Goldsmith announces anti-drug campaign
Marion County Prosecutor Stephen Goldsmith, MZB, Inc., Vice Chairman Allan Zukerman and Hook Drugs Executive Vice President Newell Hall have an¬ nounced the beginning of a 10-week, anti-drug abuse public service campaign.
"Drugs: It Takes Guts to Say No" is the message which will be conveyed on prime television and radio as well as newspapers, bill¬ boards and Metro bus advertise¬ ments.
"The scope of the problem is pervasive,   with   11-and-a-half
years the average age for beginn¬ ing drug use," Goldsmith said. '^Therefore, this cooperative community-wide effort, one of the largest campaigns of its kind, is necessary to confront the abuse." He added, "The problem effects all of us and the participating In¬
dianapolis media should be com¬ plimented for their strong in¬ volvement."
Zukerman explained that the
Prosecutor's   Office   has   given

Freshman combine college, high school experiences in program
The Bridge Program, a new cooperative arrangement be¬ tween Wabash College and At¬ tucks, has been added to the cur¬ riculum this year. Wabash is located in Crawfordsville, In¬ diana.
All students involved this year are freshmen, since the program is planned around four years designed to combine campus ex¬ perience with educational and cultural experiences. This is to help prepare the students for col¬ lege acceptance with more ex¬ perience in the fields they are studying.
This year the program is based on science, and throughout the school year students involved will visit Wabash five weekends ex¬ ploring academics in the field of science. They will work in labs
and attend classes at the college.
Students from Wabash will also be involved in the program as tutors and will visit Attucks in that capacity.
Principal Earl Donalson and William Harrison, guidance direc¬ tor, have worked with professors from Wabash since last spring planning and organizing the pro¬ gram.
Harrison screened all the fresh¬ man records, and selected stu¬ dents were invited along with their parents to participate.
The program will continue into the summer months, and during that time, students will spend several weeks at the college ex¬ perimenting in labs and taking classes and workshops.
Participating students include Adrienne Adams, Lisa Atkinson,
Rosalind Beckles, Marcus Carson, Tracey Clay, Ivylene Dillon, Susan Ethridge, Charisse Evans, Tammy Frye, Sammie Griffin, Sharon Harrison, Forrest Hines, Thomas Holt, Terrance Jackson, Wendi Jacks, Alicia Jones, Troy King, Stephanie Meredith, Daniel Morris, Christopher Mundy, David Oliver, Tammy Pierce, Kelvin Sisk. Johnny Stansberry, Lisa Todd, Khai Trinh, Donna Turner, Latonoy Zinerman.
Teachers involved are Christine Morton, Dr. Barbara Williams and David Hammer, English; James Burch and Bruce Laetsch, social studies; David Banks, foreign language; Ralph Tyler and Richard Soendlin, math; R.C. Johnson, science; and William Harrison, guidance direc¬ tor.
Trightening Strikes' Indianapolis in October
Strange and mysterious noises have been resounding from the Children's Museum Guild's Haunted House all summer and fall. What has been going on in¬ side? Who has been stirring up all of those devious devils, witches and warlocks? The only way to answer these questions is to visit the 1981 Haunted House when '^Frightening Strikes" In¬ dianapolis on October 17-31.
Getting the public more in¬ volved inside the house has been a major goal of year's guild members and seventeen business sponsors, who decorate the house. This will be accomplished by opening up rooms, constructing a tunnel and maze to walk through and innovative sound and lighting effects.
Frightening will begin to strike each victim on entering the house this   year.   Sounds   of   thunder.
wind and rain suggest a storm will be brewing thoughout everyone's visit. An electrically warm greeting will be given to all by the wicked witch in residence stirring her bubbling caldron. Those with an attitude of mind toward the supernatural will come to a dead stop in the room with black cats and ladders. A freaky flick theatre, featuring ghosts appearing and reappear¬ ing and a human head changing into a lizard creature will cer¬ tainly set the spine-a-tingling.
Feeling dizzy or squeamish? Try walking in a striped room with a strobe light or finding the abominable snowman in a all- white room. For those who like spiders, a room full of spider webs and a giant spider will be hanging around.
A creepy swamp creature will be   lurking   somewhere   in   the
swamp, while a mummy and skeleton will be waiting to greet everyone in the cemetery. If these goblins don't leave knees weak, visitors might be able to escape from a devious devil in a fire-red room.
Screeching birds, skeletons in closets, hairy creatures in a cage and more will be waiting at the Haunted House to strike Indiana¬ polis with fright in October.
