These Good people of Galveston a they be got magic about i organizers expected about 120,000 people to wind their Way through the Booths of More than 20 vendors while entertainers performed on eight stages Ann Landers dear Ann Landers recently you printed an interesting letter from the Mother of a College student whose Roommate entertained her Boyfriend in their dorm room All night. The Mother did t know what to do and blamed the school authorities. You enlisted the help of some heavy hitters to respond a the Rev. Theodore he Burgh president emeritus of the University of notre Dame Derek Bok former president of Harvard University Benno Schmidt jr., president of Yale University and George Roche president of Hillsdale College in Michigan. Each of these educators gave thoughtful and relevant responses but a column by Magdalena and Thomas Naylor makes it Clear that there Are far More serious problems on americans campuses than roommates with sleep Over guests. Magdalena Naylor is a psychiatrist and Thomas Naylor is a professor of economics at Duke University so they should know what they re talking about. The Taylors cited a recent study by the . Surgeon general reporting that the nations 23 million College students drink nearly 4 billion cans of Beer and enough wine and liquor to bring their annual consumption of alcoholic beverages up to 34 Gallons apiece. It also was noted by the authors that there is a far More serious problem than alcohol and drug abuse and that is a Lack of purpose or meaning in these students lives. The authors claim College students have no incentive to delay gratification because they have so Little Faith in the future. They want to Quot have it ally a now. The Taylors also Point to the conclusion of a recent study by the american medical association and the National association of state boards of education a never before has one generation of american teenagers been less healthy less cared for and less prepared for life than their parents were at the same their most serious problems Are alcohol and drug abuse promiscuity and violence. I find All this frightening. You have your pulse on the american Public. Is this a super gloomy assessment or what . Dear . I have read the Naylorsr piece. It is provocative and raised some very salient Points but in my opinion they Are inordinately pessimistic. For example Northwestern University in Illinois now requires students to show a Drivers License birth certificate or passport before being served alcohol at any student function. The school says this change is part of a nationwide College trend to Cut Down on Campus drinking. The Taylors cannot speak for All College students. I know Many who Are drug free energetic focused and eager to take on the world. Id like to hear from the College students. How about it Are the Taylors right dear Ann Landers recently you told a woman who Reform her husband a you can to make a silk purse from a sows in 1921, a Boston chemist obtained a Batch of female pigs ears from a slaughterhouse. He reduced the ears to Gelatin and spun it into thread. From the thread he wove two purses one of which is now in the collection of the smithsonian a National museum of american history. A Kenneth w. Beckman president invention inc. Of Arlington a. Dear or. Beckman i Bow to the venerable smithsonian. Apparently my advice Wasny to exactly Kosher. Thanks for letting me know. A creators Syndicate dear Abby my Nephew a ill Call him Neil a is Gay. 1 be came out of the closet to his family a few weeks ago on his 20th birthday. You would never suspect that Neil was Gay by looking at him or talking to him but when his Brothers were outside playing baseball Neil would be in the House drawing pictures of rowers. Neil s father says that Neil is Gay because All the Lime his Mother was pregnant with him she kept praying for a Little girl. She already had four boys and no girls Abby can praying for a Little girl have anything to do with having a Gay boy Neil a aunt dear aunt according to or. Judd Marmor eminent psychoanalyst and past president of the american psychiatric As dear Abby Soei Atlon there is no scientific evidence that supports the theory that a boy could become homosexual because his Mother while pregnant prayed for a Little girl. It is More Likely however that Neil was born with a predisposition toward becoming Gay and his mothers Strong wish for a girl contributed to his preference for doing a Little girls activities rather than a Little boy activities during his childhood years. Thus Neil a ultimately becoming Gay was a combination of nature and nurture. Woman dear Abby this is in response to the letter from the whose Mother had a painful Lump in her breast.
