Juan is not alone among our nation's youth. The problem of adolescent al- cohol abuse and alcohol- isra is a growing concern at a nïational, state and mu- nicipal level. National esti- mates suggest that a haîf - million young Americans under the age of 18 are suffering from alcoholism. A study released in Feb- ruary 1975 by the New York City Advisory Coun- cil on Adolescent Alcohol ansd Drug Abuse Prinblems stated "that 12% of the 176,000 high 'sehool stu- dents studied were sufer- ing f rom alcoholism." The surprising tnat the in- creasingnumber of this group are beîng affected by alcoholisma. As an ex- ample, in the period be- tween 1968 and 1972 pop wines, which are part 0of our youth culture, in- creased their sales frous 3,000,000 bottles annually to 33,000,000 bottles an- nually. According to the Second Report to the United States Congress on Alco- hol and Health, "the lar- gest group of drinkers are in the age group under 24 years." Alcohol is as inte- gral a part of the Ameri- can culture as the auto- mobile, basebaîl and apple pie. One might say that alcohol is our accepted national tranquilizer. Increased consumption of alcohol and the growing Hard hats and business suits for gais Co-eds, the traditional mainstay of the teaching and home economies de- AVAl LA BLE A partments, are expandîng their înterests and their career opportunities by enrolling in previously4 "maie only" fields, f romn diesel mechanies to f or- estry. According to the Amer- iean Association of State Colleges and Universities, - a combination- 0f new JEAN S eniployment opportunities,, special counseling pro- grams and increasing self - assurance among students îs having its effect upon enrolîment patterns in the 318 state colleges and uni- versities which are mem- bers., Enrolîments in many of the technical fields are disproving the mnyth that ,women "areni't mechani- cal."' Although the number of women enrolled in new fields is stiil a small per- centage of the total, the reports from the campuses indicate that the tradi- C5 tional barriers have been broken, and that career opportunities can be se- lected by interest, not hab- it. The potential seemns limitless. At the University of Wis- consin-Whitewater, five women are studying to become qualified athletic trainers; at present, only 40 women in the country are certified athletic train- ers. One of the oldest con- servation progr ams in the country, located at the University of Wisconsin- Stevens, Point, now has women enrolled in wildlif e management, soil science and forestry. University of Wisconsin-' Stevens Point provides speclal counseling to these women' students; such special efforts demonstrate a new awareness by state colleges and universîties to expanding opportunities for women.
