ISR REPORT:
Survey shows student drug
use no higher than average
Chinese ping-pong team
to visit U', tour campus
By PAUL RUSKIN
Male college freshmen use il-
legal drugs no more frequently
than do non-students of the same
age - at least according to a re-
cent survey conducted by Lloyd
Johnston of the Institute for So-
cial Research (ISR).
- Furthermore, Johnston found
that among those youths surveyed,
a number of other trends "which
contradict popular belief" also
manifested themselves.
Among these, he named the
"relatively low rate of illegal drug
use while the students were in
high school" and the fact that use
of non-addicting drugs doesn't
seem to lead to crime or low
grades.
The 1,600 participants in the
survey are members of a largerJ
group of 2,200 people who were
chosen randomly from 87 high
schools to participate in a broad,
many-faceted ' study of young
males. The study began in 1966,
when the participants were in the
tenth grade.;
The drug survey, which was
conducted in 1970, a year after,
the students had graduated high
school, was designed to test atti-
tudes toward and usage of alco-
hol and tobacco, both of which
Johnston termed "legal drugs",
and of five "illegal drugs": Mari-
juana, heroin, hallucinogens, bar-
biturates, and amphetamines.
According to the report, 22 per
cent of the respondents said they
had tried an illegal drug at least
one time during high school. Al-
most all of these people had tried
marijuana, although less than two
per cent had used it daily.
Also, 10 per cent of all those
studied had tried amphetamines,
seven per cent hallucinogens, six
per cent barbiturates, and less
than two per cent had used her-
oin. The two legal drugs, alcohol
and tobacco, were used on a regu-
lar basis by 22 per cent and 33 per
cent respectively of the respond-
ents.
A year after high school, the
number of users of illegal drugs
jumped substantially to 36 per
cent. The number who used alco-
hol on a regular basis rose to 33
per cent, and use of illegal drugs
besides marijuana increased from
13 per cent to 18 per cent.
Another finding of the study
was that 37 per cent of the college
freshmen experimented with ille-
gal drugs, and that 16 per cent.
had tried illegal drugs other than
marijuana.
According to Johnston, "Over'
two-thirds of the sample said they
strongly disapproved of the regu-
lar use of any of the illegal drugs
except marijuana. Half of the re-
spondents disapprove of the regu-
lar use of marijuana.
Johnston noticed a very high
correlation between the use of all
seven drugs. Fof instance, 62 per
cent of those who used marijuana
regularly also smoked cigarettes
regularly, as opposed to only 32
per cent for those who never used
marijuana.
Johnston admitted that a corre-
lation existed between delinquent
behavior and drug use, but he
claims that most of the individuals
who fit into this category had
manifested delinquent tendencies
in thertenth grade,dbefore they
had started to take drugs.
Thus the study says that "the
more delinquent are considerably
more likely to become users, but
the users do not appear to become
more delinquent." Johnston uses
the same argument to explain the
high correlation between poor high
school grades and drug usage. He
also reports that there was no cor-
relation between poor grades in
college and drug usage.
University officials will be roll-
ing out the red carpet next Sat-
urday as they welcome the Peo-
ple's Republic of China table ten-
nis team to a tour of the campus
and their exhibition game at Cris-
ler Arena.
The 14-member team, ranked as,
the world's best, will breakfast at
the Union, tourthe campus on
foot, and have lunch at Bursley{
Hall during their six hour stay.
The University is the first major
American college to be toured by
the Chinese groups.
Accompanying the team will be
Chinese sports federation officials,
newsmen and interpreters. The
group will, be here from 9:15 a.m.
until 3 p.m., meeting with students
and faculty and touring the cam-
pus, as well as participating in
the Crisler Arena exhibition.
First stop for the Chinese dele-
gation arriving on campus will be
the Union ballroom. They will be
greeted by University officials and
will attend a briefing on American
universities, led by faculty mem-
bers and students.
At 10:15 the group will tour
the central campus on foot before
leaving by bus for the North Cam-
pus, where they will lunch atj
BursleyHall. Following an 11:30
luncheon with the students, the
players will leave for Crisler
Arena.
Chuang Tse-tung, three times
men's singles world tabletennis
champion, leads the 14 players.
Others in the delegation include
Chang Hsieh-lin, the mixed dou-
bles world champion; Li Fu-jung.

parents. "The individual cannot
ask Congress to intervene so that
they don't have to tell the kids to

Ball-Rokeach says violence is
"a terribly profitable thing," and
that censorship of violence would
probably hurt the industry. Also,
she believes that such censorship
would violate an individual's per-
sonal freedoms.
"I believe in an alternative in-

One further comment was that
removing violence from television

However, she stresses that CHS
hopes to "get away from the com-
petition of getting of an 'A'"
by creating hetrogenous classroom
groups.
Every student would be respon-
sible for a certain task and then
would be graded according to
their own ability rather than ac-
cording to how they stand in the
group.
Bodley cites adults' "fear of
adolescent maturity" as an ob-
stacle in the educative process and
adds that a "student's individual
progress shouldn't be determined
on the basis of time."
Specifically, Bodley supports the
