'U' study reports less teen drug use by Joanna Broder s Daily Health Issues Reporter Research scientists at the Uni- versity's Institute for Social Re- search (ISR) in a new study on young adult drug use found that fewer high school seniors and col- lege students were using drugs such as marijuana and cocaine in 1989 than in 1979. The study, "Monitoring the Fu- ture," reports that about 40% of high school seniors actively used some type of illicit drug in 1979, and that this number dropped to under 20% in 1989. ". ..the likelihood of a young person in high school or college to- day actively using illicit drugs is only about half of what it was a decade ago," principal researcher Lloyd Johnston said. Johnston, with fellow ISR re- searchers Patrick O'Malley and Jerald Bachman, found while 37 percent of high school seniors surveyed in 1979 had smoked marijuana within 30 days of the survey, only 17 per- cent had used the drug in 1989. The number of college students who use marijuana dropped from 34 percent in 1979 to 16 percent in 1989. The number of cocaine users has also dropped among both college arid; high school populations, as has the number of amphetamine userse Johnston said. "The most troublesome findingis that among high school seniors th& smoking rate has not declined through most of the eighties," John- ston said. "The downturns that we have} seen are a result of reduced demaid for drugs and not reduced supply. ; Demand has declined because peer norms have been shifting," Johnston said in a phone conversation yester-;t day, after reporting the study resulis in a national news conference in Washington earlier that afternoon. "Fewer peers accept drugs (and), i more people recognize hazards of us. ing drugs," he said. Each year since 1975, the r . searchers survey approximately- 17,000 seniors from 135 high schools nationwide. They also resur-& vey a smaller sample of the higi school graduates between the ages of 19 and 28. The annual sample size of college students is about 1,200., JOSE JUAREZIDaily Lisa Schwartzman (center), an LSA junior, and Mike Walsh (right), an LSA Residential College first-year student, hold signs showing words which they said are hardly spoken in junior high school classes at a demonstration in the diag yesterday. .5 764-0553News 763-0379Arts bo 764-0562 News and Opinion 747-3334 News ;763-0376 Sports 763-2459 News '747-3336 Sports I 4U' pleased with state education budget for '91 Violin serenades woo Sweethearts -0 " I toy Christine Kloostra Daily Government Reporter y University officials are pleased with Governor James Blanchard's proposed higher education budget fer fiscal year 199.1 despite the fact tlat it falls short of the University's funding request. Blanchard proposed a 4.7 percent hike, a $265.3 million appropriation, f r the University. The recommenda- tion falls more than three percent be- 16w the University's request for an eight percent increase. University President James Dud- - erstadt, however, said the proposal is "good news for higher education." 4 "We commend the Governor for his courageous and visionary steps to restore strong public support for higher education in the face of a dif- ficult budget year," Duderstadt said. Prior to the release of Blan- chard's recommendations last week, slme lawmakers were pessimistic suibstantial increases would occur in any area of the budget. "The most optimistic increase for any budget, including higher educa- ti'on, is in low single-digit percentage increases," said state representative James Kosteva (D-Canton), chair of the House Colleges and Universities Committee. Blanchard, however, chose to propose increased funding for education on all levels because it is the "single best investment we can make," said state budget director Shelby Solomon. Although he is pleased with Blanchard's proposal, University Provost and Vice President for Aca- demic Affairs Charles Vest said it will be necessary to tighten the Uni- versity's budget despite the increase. "It will be a quite constrained budgetary year for the University. The first thing is to meet all obliga- tions for fixed costs," Vest said. Officials from the schools within the University will be holding bud- get conferences this month to priori- tize costs other than those that are fixed. State lawmakers will begin hold- ing hearings over the next few months to consider the Governor's recommendations and requests from universities. by Julie Foster Forget about bows and arrows. Modern-day Cupid carries a bow and a violin. "Cupids" Sonya Nagel and Ni- cole Willeumier, both LSA first-year students, are performing violin sere- nades for students to send to the sweetheart (or sweethearts) of their choice throughout this week. Nagel and Willeumier advertised their service across campus. LSA junior Rebecca Guldi saw the ad in the bathroom of the Mod- ern Languages Building and decided to hire Nagel and Willeumier to ser- enade her boyfriend tonight at their Valentine's Day dinner. "I thought about candy and flowers, but that was too common. Then, there I was, sitting on the can, and I saw the sign. The light clicked, and I said... That's it," Guldi said. A post doctoral research fellow in behavorial medicine, who wishes to remain anonymous to save the sur- prise, saw the ad in the lunchroom where she works and called the sere- naders to play for her fiance. "I thought the serenade would send our wedding off in a good way. Kind of like a good omen." Eun Jung Park, red-faced and smiling Monday after receiving het serenade, said "I think it's great and that's all I can think of to say. I'nV' so embarassed." The serenaders were pleased with their first performance. "It wasat smash. We had a great audienc They even sang along," Willeumier said. When asked Monday if she was, nervous before their first perfor--4 mance, Willeumier replied, "This is° nothing. Tomorrow we have to play for a frat house of 45 guys." A The serenaders charge $7 for Hill residence hall visits, $8 for central' campus residence halls and $10 fog off-campus locations includin restaurants. Both serenaders play the violin as a hobby. Nagel has been playing for' 10 years and Willeumier for 15. The Valentine's Day idea stemmed from a similar project Nagel was a part bf in her high school. "We had people come to the front of the room, stag there, and turn red," Nagel said. The serenades may cause a f, faces to turn red, but what could bea more appropriate color for faces a' Valentine's day? QTHE LIST .
