targe majorities of seniors in
all ethnic and racial groups used

during the past year, and nearly
two-thirds of all seniors used
alcohol within the past 30 days,
according to the U-M study.
"Use among white and Na
tive American males and
females is relatively high at
more than 60 percent for all
groups in the last month, while
among Qlack and Asian
American seniors only about
half of the males and one-third
of the females report usc of al
cohol during the past month."
Bachman says.
"The most important sub
group differences, however, in
volve frequent or heavy use of
alcohol: Almost half or the
white and Native American
males report having five or
more drinks in a Single sittin
once or more during the two
..feeks preceding the survey, and
the rate is nearly as high for
Mexican American males," he
says.
Instances of heavy drinking
are significantly less common
among Puerto Rican and other
Latin American males and even
lower among Black males and
Asian American males.

the Legislature with more
progressive tbinking,"
Vaughn said. "It's almost
insulu ng to ask' you to vote
for me and you still can't
run' for office."
The concept of 18-year
olds running for office is
not unprecedented. Vaugbn
'aid 19-year-old Stevens T:
Mason was elected as'
Michigan's first territorial
governor in 1835. Otber
s ta te 0 rices sucb a_
secretary of state and attor
ney general have no age
limitations. Candidates for
governor and lieutenant
governor must be at least 30
years old.
Vaughn's re olution is
co- ponsored by Sen. David
Henigman, R-West Bloom
field. Honigman, who i 34
years old, agrees with
Vaughn that the re elution
is the right thing to do.
,"P�ople who are 18 are
regarded as adults in every
other way; if people want to
run they hould b ve that
option." Honigman said.
Vaughn has a long his
tory of supporting the rights
of youth in Michigan. 'He
led tbe drive to give 18-
year-olds the right to vote
about 15 years ago. Vauabn
said be twice bas won legis
la tive approval for
eliminating tbe age limit for
Senate and House offices.
On those occasions, it was
the public that defeated tbe
effort in the general elec
tion.
Va ughn �s resol ution
would require legislative,
and public approval to
amend the Constitution. He
said be' read y to continue
introducing tbe concept
again and again until it wins
approval. Vaugbn s.id it
took him 10 years to win
approval for the Martin
Luther King Jr., holiday, but
he' confident that the age
requirement resolution will
win approval.
"Once tbe public realizes
that we have deliberately
disenfranchi ed tbe youn
people, I tbink th� public
support-will grow " Vaugbn
aid.
The re olution DOW

Government Operation . If
the Legi lature approves
tbe resolution, voters could
see the constitutional
amendment on tbe ballot
soon as tbe 1992 election.
