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. three times men's singles world finalist, and Lin Hui-ching, who a year ago won the women's world singles, the women's doubles and the mixed doubles championship.

"The individual cannot ask Congress to intervene so that they don't have to tell the kids to turn off the set,' or to watch NEJAI something else." 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- volving social responsibility with- out more loss of individual free- dom," she states. One further comment was that removing violence from television might not be an effective move, for the effects of alternate pro- gramming have not been studied. ,I r cleans rvictory an Rights Party (HRP) a clean-up campaign ernoon to collect the HRP campaign mate- posted around town. interested in helping t at the party office, ?r, at 2 p.m. the clean-up efforts, host a potluck supper t 6 p.m. in the HRP ryone who comes is ring food.

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."
