Eller also holds some very bad memories of that period of his life. A former Minnesota Viking defensive end, Eller became addicted to drugs and alcohol, and that addiction caused him to lose ins carecr, his health, his family, friends and almost his life. Now a recovering addict and a consultant to the National Football League on alcohol and drug abuse, Eller tours the country lecturing at colleges, high schools and industries, relating his experiences and offering advice on how to help those who have chemical dependencies. Eller said addiction in sports is a continuing process which usually starts in high school with alcohol and escalates to the professional level with cocaine or heroin. "Seldom do we find anyone who started with cocaine as the JOB moJ NOR. TTT </i-F /T\ PL|ASE_? ~T PLASMA son us nil be sold, as fol t Office, ool, ^rhnnl A I v/ JL ^ t ? ? ?

"But what we're finding now is that because of the increasing availability of drugs to younger people, the first drug they could come in contact with could be cocaine." Filer founded Chemical Dependency Awareness and Training programs for the NFL and its 28 teams. He said now basically all the teams have some sort of drug counseling and abuse program. Although he said the problems usually start before college, he thinks drugs in college sports are becoming a big problem. "One thing that has happened in college is that most universities have no understanding of the athlete, and primarily the people on the academic side have very little interest in the athletes except whether or not they fill the stadiums or have a winning program," he said.

And the athlete is very often forced to make a choice between their own education and their potential for a career in sports. That's a tremendous conflict for a person and one that almost 100 percent of colleges have not dealt with yet." Ellcr speaks in his lecture, which he calls "the fifth Super Bowl," about the importance of placing sports in the proper perspective with academics in high school and college. He said he thinks too much emphasis is placed on winning and not enough on balance between the two. "I can see the motivation to become an athlete, with all the priority that society gives to sports, but I think they should make that pursuit a realistic one." He said athletes need to get an education while they are in high school and college so that they will have a career to fall back on when their playing days arc over. And the onlv wav thev can do that is to keep sports in perspective and balance in their lives. ? ? ? 1 I >$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ I $ ' >n is worth $ j I LLAR3 $$s ! $ ! on your first * I receive * j ' ' HYLAND I I ! r person) pi.asma j ' 1 1 OCKS J ~L egistration | i 27. 1986 I - 4:00 PM I OO fO Q? 1-1 frOf I70U - 4:00 PM I 29. 1986 I - 4:00 PM I 30. 1986 I f available ; j MENT J
