The Catholic priests said 'You're
a drug addict,' which is exactly
what I was.
"Until wc treat alcohol as we
do drugs, nothing positive is going
to be done," Durcn said.
Durcn, who was in Columbia
on Wednesday to speak as par t of
Alcohol Awareness Week at
USC, now devotes his time to
speaking out against alcohol and
drug abuse.

Alter alcohol abuse put an end
to his baseball career, Durcn said
he nearly died.
"I ended up in San Antonio,
Texas. I almost died down there.
I wanted to die very, vciy much."

psychological need for alcohol
before I started drinking, and I
started becoming addicted lo
alcohol in my adolescent years." '
"We give youngsters the right j
o drive and the right to buy and
:onsumc alcohol at the same age,
ind that is two tremendous
esponsibilities to handle ai the
taine time. Kids should gel experience
with alcohol first and

"We've never clone our
lomcwork on alcohol. 150 of the
5uys that played baseball when I
lid arc dead today because they |
ibuscd alcohol, some ol whom I
Irank and partied with. That's
00 percent of the national norm
- docs that tell you something?

"We were laughing and winkng

Soccer. Continued from
for senior team members Warren

Glenn Witt and Danny (ioggins,
it was their last appearance at

"It feels great to end it this
way," said Witt, a midfielder
from l or I Collins, Colo. "It's
hard to say that this is the best
team I've played on here, but
when we get on the field this team
has the confidence to do the job,
whatever it is."
