European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - May 25, 1992, Darmstadt, Hesse Page 20 a the stars and stripes monday May 25, 1992 Ann Landers dear Ann Landers you recently printed a Bunch of responses from people commenting on the fact that the nations 23 million College students each consume about 34 Gallons of alcoholic beverages per year. I almost choked when i read the letter from the Penn state student who said the students there Are too Busy with their schoolwork to abuse alcohol or drugs. While i Admire his loyalty to his school i cannot let his letter downplay the problem of alcohol abuse on that Campus. I live in the Penn state College area and in a telling you that its never been As bad As it is today. The abuse is More blatant than Ever and widespread. Is it just Penn state of course not. In a 1990 time Magazine interview Donna Shalala Chancellor of the University of Wisconsin stated that the biggest problem today on College campuses is alcoholism. Every morning the streets in our town Are strewn with Beer cans and broken Beer bottles. Penn state athletes wearing their team jackets Are seen unloading kegs of Beer from pickup trucks. Apartments that according to the fire code Are Only supposed to hold 25 people Are jammed with four times that number for a party. Done to Tell melts always been like this. In be lived Here All my life and it gets worse All the time. And done to Tell me its a freshman thing. Many of these students Are juniors and seniors who should have outgrown the immature party animal phase. Young lives Are being changed by a whole Range of problems associated with alcohol abuse a Date rape sexually transmitted diseases including aids unwanted pregnancies and abortions Drunken driving and for some a lifetime of alcoholism. Something needs to be done. Alcohol awareness pro today s crossword he died two dear Abby dear Abby . Navy it. John Calvin Crawford stationed in Saigon with the coastal surveillance Force was killed on March 10, 1967. Although there were conflicting reports of the circumstances surrounding his death officially he was one of 24 passengers killed in a plane crash Over Nin Thuan five Miles North of Pha Nrang. It. Crawford was my father Days after my third birthday. Like thousands of other sons and daughters of the More than 58,000 americans lost in the Vietnam War i never really knew my father a but i was always proud of him and As a child i thought of my dad As a hero. But when i was old enough to be exposed to society a attitudes about Vietnam i began to feel isolated and rejected. In the fourth Grade the teacher asked each of us to describe our parents. When i said my father was killed in Vietnam i was slapped in the face with silence a it was As if i had a disease or something. I Felt an immediate distance Between myself and everyone else. Through sons and daughters in touch a program of the friends of the Vietnam veterans memorial i have met others who understand the pain because they too have experienced a similar rejection. This father s Day Grams reach very few students and the real drinkers would never attend them anyway. Pennsylvania recently enacted new Laws governing alcohol use and abuse. Penalties for All infractions include Drivers License suspension and fines. Offending students should be arrested for underage drinking providing alcohol to underage drinkers and or ignoring fire code regulations a to name a few. If Law enforcement with the full backing of College administrators and coaches would begin Large scale arrests we could Send the proper message to students everywhere. I reiterate the plea to you from the student in Michigan a please dear Ann done to add to the problem by playing it Down or denying its its real and its heartbreaking. These kids need our help. Cut this letter if you must but please keep my name out of it. If my identity were revealed someone would surely sic the Kittany lion on me and hang me from the goal posts in Beaver stadium.
