Health care personnel will also be required to ask about patients tobacco use during All routine physicals and Den Tal appointments and advise them on the risks associated with smoking and where to obtain help to quit. The directive also states that participation of Dod components with manufacturers or distributors of alcohol or tobacco products will be disallowed in promotional pro Grams activities or contests aimed primarily at Dod or. William Mayer assistant Secretary of defense for health affairs and Chapman Cox assistant Secretary of defense for Force management and personnel among others have supported the idea of removing cigarettes from military commissaries in an Effort to reduce tobacco consumption. Weinberger agreed there Are undesirable inconsistencies in the government s policy of Selling products that arc known to be health hazards at prices lower than those in civilian stores. But he said commissary and Post Exchange privileges Are an old established and valued portion of military compensation. For that reason i have concluded we should give this education plan a reasonable Chance to persuade people of their own free will to decrease or eliminate their own he said that after a reasonable trial period he will review the situation to see whether changes in the present policies of tobacco sales in commissaries and exchanges Are needed. David Newhall Iii principal Deputy assistant Secretary for health affairs said the program would run for at least a year and probably until the a next smoking Survey is done in 1987. The 1985 Survey showed that about 47 percent of Active duty military personnel smoke compared to 30 percent in the civilian sector. Newhall said Weinberger s directive goes beyond what Dod has done before to curb smoking because now the military will attempt to change people s behaviour. He said no one will be forced to quit smoking. The directive is Clear about the fact that no one will be ordered to Stop smoking Newhall said. We re not going to Force behavioural changes Newhall said. But we re going to go out of our Way to encourage behavioural changes. Secretary Weinberger wants tobacco consumption Down and he believes this Campaign will make a significant Dent in the smoking in addition to the new anti smoking Campaign the health directive also addresses physical fitness stress management alcohol and drug abuse and hypertension.

Temperatures return trip. Teachers report dramatic be Havior improvement. Of the 80 pupils sent to the Center during the fall semester 61 went Only once. But a fifth grader was sent five times. The first grader is on her Way to being a Success Story. Although she was a continual discipline problem in january her visits to the Center Are now Only once a week. They see we Are serious and the teacher is serious and we Don t see them again Hillenbrand said. The program works Best she said when parents help by reinforcing school discipline efforts. When parents Don t become involved the Center is less effective. No particular problems prompted the creation of the Center. But school officials decided the old system of suspending troublesome youngsters was cumbersome in addition to being possibly ineffective. The kids would literally be stacked up in the hallway while we tried to Contact parents said assistant principal Wayne Verny. It was not a Good when Hillenbrand was hired the Center was opened As part of the school s assertive discipline program. The program rewards pupils for Good behaviour but hands out Dif Ferent amounts of punishment for different types of infractions.

They Are Given the work and they do parents Are informed by letter when their children Are sent to the Center. Working parents like it very much principal Frank Calvano said. We keep the children Here. They Don t have to make extra arrangements for care of the teachers also appreciate the program Hillenbrand said because it removes troublemakers from the classroom and makes another teacher responsible for disciplining them. The program works because it establishes consistent rules for children to follow and immediate consequences for bad behaviour Verney said. It makes children responsible for their own behaviour he said. We re consistent. The rules Are consistently applied As Many older children relish a break from classroom routine but elementary school children generally like school and want to be in their regular class with their friends Calvano said. They Don t want to be removed from class. Very often they cry he said. The enthusiasm for school at this level is a sixth grader said other reasons made him decide to mend his ways. It s not the Best thing in the world he said. When you re in this room you can t say a word. They give you a lot of work. I Don t like being scrunched up in but More importantly the 13-year-old said he could t eat lunch with his friends or play at recess when he was in the Center. Now i be settled Down.
