Past surveys have found that over 80% of males attending college see themselves as "inadequate" in male traits. The common obsession with achievement and success results in a sense of failure, futility, and cynicism. Role Restrictions/Identification Pre-school boys learn to restrict their interests and activities significantly more than girls. Stereotype behaviors and attitudes stay with boys/men more than women. A loss of Individuality and personality and work options result. Power and strength become associated with the role (e.g.,job title,wealth) ratherthan the person. A male's sense of Importance and power are often experienced by himself as superficial, dependent on factors other than one's own resources and self worth. Loss of Self Most males don't know who they really are or what they really want. The Industrial Revolution and other factors have separated boys from their fathers. Boys today learn about masculinity primarily through the media and their mother's view of men rather than their father or older men. Pain/Defensiveness Many males find themselves confused and defensive about male related behavior like war, assault, and rape. Men too suffer from the dominance of, and competition with, other men, and from the stress of winning or losing. Males experience hurt and pain but aren't encouraged to openly express it or ask for help so It often goes unnoticed or understated. In conclusion, males need an avenue to explore and enhance male/masculine awareness and growth. Male/masculine traits have been misunderstood and misused. Men need and deserve better physical and mental health, intimate love and friendship relationships, freedom and support for their individuality, a clearer and deeper sense of who they are, and more joy and pride in the full expression of their male- ness. If you're Interested In exploring and experiencing your maleness and masculinity, please join the MEN'S GROUP offered by the Counseling, Testing, and Psychological Services Office (7469). Or if you'd like to deal with men's issues on an individual basis, call and set up a counseling appointment. There is also a Men's Group for faculty, staff, and community males which is not sponsored by the Counseling Office or Western Carolina University. If interested, please call Dr. John Ritchie (7469). POTTS Supermarket PAR.T.Y. ByYOLANDAFEIMSTER Staff Writer Q. Where can you find a Virgin Mary in 1987? A. At any of the Non-Alcoholic bars sponsored by P.A.R.T.Y. P.A.R.T.Y. is an organization sponsored to promote responsible alcohol use by students. Originally named BACCHUS, the name of the organization was changed to P.A.R.T.Y. which stands for Promoting Alcohol Responsibility Through You. P.A.R.T.Y. isstill affiliated with the national BACCHUS association and retains the constitution and the bylaws that were adopted when the organization was know as BACCHUS, Two semesters ago when PA.R.T.Y. was known as BACCHUS SADD the organization began working with high school students, in cooperation with area high schools WCU's program has sponsored several activities to promote responsible alcohol use and awareness of the problems associated with alcohol, including the DWI Rodeo. This event involved volunteers who agree to drink and then drive to show the effect alcohol has on a driver. All of this naturally occurs under a highly supervised environment with police and EMS personnel. This event begins with the volunteer consuming a small amount of alcohol and then driving. His progress is monitored by the policeman and then he takes another drink. This type of event is very helpful in disproving the "Just one drink won't hurt me" theory. Other projects sponsored by PA.R.T.Y. sometimes In conjunction with the WCU housing department are non-alcoholic bars which are set up during parties. These bars are available to be set jp upon request for other campus organizations. The play " How To Throw A Responsible Pa rty" was performed by the organization last year, and this year they are planning another play which will be video taped to be shown throughout the year. Oneof the events sponsored by P.A.R.T.Y. and well known to all campus visitors is The Great American Escape during Alcohol Awareness Week. This Is a concerted effort to make university students aware of the dangers of alcohol abuse. During this week Contracts for Life are made available. The two parties signing the contract agree that if either one of them Is unable to get safely home the the other will pick them up or find them a safe ride home. P.A.R.T.Y. is involved with a special Interest in alcohol education and making high school students aware of the dangers of irresponsible drinking.
