A CSTIN, March 24.—In express
ing hi* attitudes on the ever-pres
ent problem of drinking, the aver
age American college youth is
quit4 a liberal. ' ' '
Briefly, result* of one of the
most significant studies yet con
ducted nationally by the Student
Opinion Survey of America show
that! : 1
1. Eight out of every ten are op
posed to the return of prohibition
2. Only 34.8 per cent think col
legians drink too much.
S.i Almost six out of every ten
admit they drink.
Although prohibition and drink
ing in genera^ are not such news
worthy topics as when the Eigh
teenth Amendment was still part
of tie Constitution, one often hears
the comment about the excessive
indulgence of Joe College. Per-
hspa the inhabitants of American
campuses are biased about them
selves, but a rather large majority
of them holds that college students
as a whole should not be classed
with those who habitually go over
the line. The country-wide poll
token for The Battalion and other
member publications, points out
that 65.2 per ceat are of the opin
ion that students are moderate
driMIMb / *’
While aware that liquor does
create a social problem, a still
greater majority holds that a law
against it la not the way out To
the question, “Do you favor the
return of prohibition?"
YRS, said a 21.6 per cent
m>, said 78.4 per cent
In asking, “Do yon ever drink?"
interviewers for the SURVEYS
meant any kind of indulgence in
alcoholic beverages. The poll, of
course, does not reflect the degree
of drinking, but rather attempts
to present the attitude of college
youth on the subject and to dis
cover actually how many do drink,
or at least admit they drink. The
results show that almost 60 per
cent say they do. But exact figures
cannet be arrived at, because in the
tabulations have to be included
who may have wished to con
ceal what they consider their
gui|t” or wanted to be boastful.
Thom who refused to answer were
not Included in the results.
TV returns also may have been
influenced by local conditions, for
in ofder to aiVive at a truly rep
resentative cross-section of all col-
1< g. $ and universities, “wet” and
“dry'’ areas were included.
9 Less women say they drink than
do ipen, aa is ordinarily expected,
the results paralleling cloeely the
polls taken by the American Youth
Commission last year. Slightly leas
than half of the students in south
ern and west central states say
they drink, the only group# report
ing extent of Indulgence below the
50 Bar cent mark.
Why are collegians opposed to
prohibition ? A greet number points
to the “last unsuccessful attempt.”
Others state, “People will drink
anyVay,” “You can’t legislate
against morals," "If you drink the
right staff it won’t hurt you, ’
“When drinking is illegal youag
people will try It t^ be daring."
'Those who would like to see the
amendment come back believe "it
would decrease accidents," “there is
a Hoed for discipline of human be-
tngA" "We need control ..tat not
like 1 the system we hafevthe
last time.’’ r i. 1
