3. Have you ever wondered if you drink too much? 4. Do you drink more than you intend to? 5. Has there been any change in your tolerance of alcohol? 6. Has drinking ever caused any problems in your life? 7. Has a family member ever been concerned about your drinking? 8. Have you ever decided to quit drinking for a while or cut down on your drinking? 9. Have you ever felt guilty about your drinking? 10. Have you ever used sleeping pills, tranquilizers or other drugs? If you answered question number 2 in a straight forward, non-defensive manner, it usually indicates that drinking is not a problem. But if the answer appears defensive, evasive, or reveals that excessive amounts of alcohol is consumed, then the remainder of the ques tions should be answered. If two or more questions numbered 3-10 are ans wered yes, there is a good possibility that the person answering the questions may have a drinking problem and further evaluation should be sought from profes sionals dealing with this condition. ABOUT WOMEN A voice from Kenya. The United Nations Decade for Women will culminate in an international Conference scheduled to be held in Nairobi, Kenya this summer. Guided by the Commission on the Status of Women, a preparatory body appointed by the Economic and Social Council of the U.N., the Conference is slated to review what has been learned and achieved during the Decade, examine shortcomings and failures, analyze problems and discuss and propose strategies for the future which will promote the ad vancement of women. The Honorable Phoebe Muga Asiyo, the only elected member of the Kenyan parliament, visited the United States recently and spoke about the Conference. "We are hoping very sincerely that the world’s women will want to focus attention on the priorities of women, especially in the developing countries,” said Mrs. Asiyo. She is a member of the Kenyan organizing committee which is planning activities for Forum ‘85, a series of meetings to be held in connection with the Conference. Forum is sponsored by an independent Non-Govern- mental Organization (NGO) and will focus on women in the Third World. A mother and a grandmother, Mrs Asiyo is a teacher and a social worker by profession. She has been a member of her country’s legislative body for the last five years and was the first African president of the Kenyan women’s organization, Maendeleo ya Wanawake, suc ceeding a British president. Kenya won its independ ence from Great Britain in 1963. In her country Mrs. Asiyo was the first woman to hold the post of superin tendent of women’s prisons, the first woman to sit on U.N.’s Subcommission on the Protection of Minorities and the Prevention of Discrimination, and Kenya’s re presentative to the U.N. Commision on the Status of Women. Phoebe Asiyo is very much concerned with the sta tus of women in her country and Africa in general. She hopes that development issues will be foremost on the agenda at the Conference, which, she projects, will host more than 8,000 men and women from all over the world. She says that many African women are eagerly anticipating the advent of this global meeting and know what they want to achieve there. ’’The awareness among women of their rights really impresses me,” she went on to say. ’’Women are very much aware of themselves as a people and as a com munity. We reached a stage now where, I feel, women are looking beyond their boundries, their own national boundries. And this is very positive.” The real power in the USSR. Soviet women may well be the USSR’s true power holders, according to Soviet Nationality Survey, a news-
