Good Counsel is active in working with student and parents through a number of alcohol-awareness programs. Students are constantly reminded of the dangers of drinking by Good Counsel's chapter of Students Against Drunk Driving. The Counseling Department has organized the Student Assistance Program, which is mandatory for all freshmen in order to educate them on the dangers of substance abuse. Before the prom, Good Counsel parents are required to attend a meeting in which they are given suggestions on how to protect their children. In order to assist them in this, the telephone directory at Good Counsel designates parents who have pledged to keep parties at their homes alcohol-free. No mention of any of these points is made in the article. It is disheartening that, as students today, the only publicity we receive is negative.
