Hypnotic Intoxication demonstrates perils of alcohol abuse

Keith KarkutHypnotic Intoxication, a program that teaches alcohol awareness through hypnosis, will be presented at California State University, Fresno at 7 p.m. Wednesday, March 18, in the Satellite Student Union (2485 E. San Ramon Ave. at Maple Avenue).

The event, sponsored by USU Productions, is open to the public. Tickets are $3 for Fresno State students with a valid ID and $5 for general admission.
