W7HAr most parents dread about drinking
w by young people is that it may get
them into trouble" And of troubles many
names, the most feared is sex"
All too readily, the family's uneasy vision
appears: their college boy or girl, exhilarated
and made not quite responsible by alcohol, is
swept by the momentum of group behavior
into a sexual adventure, unhappy oonse-
quences of which cannot be undone.
Such episodes have happened, of course,
and will happen again. But parental magma
tons can stop working overtime on their wor
risome images of youthful promiscuity. For
the evidence is that those most vividly aware
of the problem and most strongly opposed to
itsoccurrence are the young people themselves.
This is one of the surprising - and hearten-
ing - conclusions of comprehensive survey
titled Drinking in College" to be published
as book October 5 by the Yale University
Press and presented exclusively here for THIS
WEEKS readers.
First of its kind, the survey seeks to prove
no particular point about drinking but simply
to gather facts in an area where previously
facts have been sadly lacking. In the course of
their project, Co-authors Robert Straus and
Selden D. Bacon of the Yale Center of Alcohol
St ,dies, inquired into the drinking customs
Evening star., 1953-09-27

The authors stress that they are dealing
here with opinion and belief rather than with
tabulations of actual sexual performance,
which was not within the scope of the survey.
They feel, however, that the opinions are not
only reliable indicators of college customs and
mores today, but that they exert strong
influence on student behavior as we'll.
Support for this is found in the reactions to
question No. l. One third of the comments
related going too far" while drinking with
some degree of morally unacceptable sexual
behavior" Typical men students object to
almost any drink-induced SICKNESS" in girls.
Flirting" "petting." acting loose in NOR
ais" sex pronliscuity" and sexual inter-
course" are all listed as excessive behavior.
Evening star., 1953-09-27

and attitudes of nearly 5000 students from
q representative American colleges.
Their primary findings, reported in last
weeks THIS WEEK, showed that contrary to
popular belief the majority of college young
sters are not frequent and heavy drinkers, but
are as moderate and temperate as the homes
and the social background they come from.
Two Questions
INFORMATION on students awareness of -
and wariness toward - the combination of
alcohol and sex came in responses to two ques-
tons: Q) What kind of behavior associated
with drinking do you feel "goes too far? and
(2) Do you believe drinking is associated with
one or another form of sexual behavior?

friends with equal strictness.
Researchers discussions with students also
disclosed that both sexes believe girls who
drink may appear to be more popular with
men but often are not taken seriously" or
respected"
Different Drinking Habits
IHIs wide, general disapproval of promis-
Guilty, plus the Double Standard, undoubtedly
operates to keep many individuals, particu-
larly college girls. from overstepping the
bounds of accepted group behavior.
Mems appraisal of their own actions while
drinking, on the other hand. seems to permit
exceptions. Asked what constitutes improper
male behavior under alcoholic influence, they
are as apt to mention violence lighting, pro-
family. reckless driving) as sex.
: Does this mean that they approve of.
or indulge in, unbridled sexual activity?
Not at all, say the authors.
The explanation, they feel, lies first in the
differing drinking habits of men and women.
Women, the book shows, drink almost entirely
in mixed company where they would be most
likely to run up against undesirable behavior
involving sex. Men, however, also do consid-
erable drinking together, so that their views
of going too far" cover the drinking activities
of two kinds of social groups. Moreover, since
most of the heavier drinking goes on in all
male gatherings violent results. such as fight
ing, would form drinking problems for men
elyeru hit &c inon0rfanf as cav
APaxadOx
If THEY take a tolerant view of sexual
activity for themselves while drinking, it is
probably because of the freedom permitted
them by the Double Standard. Yet even so,
they apparently are restrained from taking the
latitude society offers them. For DR.. Kinsey
found that the "sex outlets of college men
were the least frequent of any male group he
studied.
Why this paradox? Straus and Bacon, well
aware that combining two such little-known,
little-understood behavior patterns as drink
ing and sex may produce more cloudiness than
clarity, nevertheless offer an answer. Aside
from the small-town character of a college
community which makes privacy - and thus
opportunity "a rare achievement, there is
the pressure of broad social restrictions on
sexual intercourse These are evidently so
much more powerful for college youngsters
than for the rest of the population (as Kinsey
indicates) that their reactions to alcohol seem
likewise to be affected - not their physiologi-
cal reactions which are essentially the same
for everyone but their psychologist responses.
While drinking serves generally to reduce
inhibitions, in the college group it also pro-
vokes anxiety about sexual behavior and
tightens, rather than relaxes, sexual controls.
Anxiety is fostered by beliefs about the
connection between drinking and sex activity.
Question No. 2 asked specifically whether
students believe drinking accompanies or
Continued on page SO
Evening star., 1953-09-27

These attitudes are reinforced by pro-
nounced Double Standard. As with sex, the
Double Standard for drinking allows greater
freedom to men than to women. General
opinions on what constitutes going too far"
illustrate this clearly. One student specifies
getting drunk" as going too far" for men,
although merely getting silly" is too far"
for women Another will string along with men
until they are unable to walk but cannot
stand ''loudness" in women. A third, who
lists loss of control" for men, says that
drinking itself is going too far" for women.
Girl students agree. They consider it
neither wise, charming nor clever for girls to
be affected by liquor and they judge their boy
friends with equal strictness.
Researchers discussions with students also
disclosed that both sexes believe girls who
drink may appear to be more popular with
men but often are not taken seriously or
respected"

Pensions for Aliens
AssaiIed by Williams
BY the Assoeioted Press

Senator Williams, Republican,
of Delaware, has told the Sen
ate that unless law enacted
under the Truman administra-
ton is changed, United States
pension checks may start fiow-
ing to aliens "all over the
world" ......
AS the law now stands, Sem
ator Williams said, a major
loophole" permits alien employees
of the Government to draw full
Federal retirement pensions.
The Delaware Senator said a
sample check showed that 80
aliens became eligible and
started collecting pensions last
December-21 in the Philippines,
four in the Panama Canal Zone,
two in Germany, and one each
in Turkey, Cuba and British
West Indies.
The loophole, he said, is that
United States citizenship is not
requirement for pension bene-
fits. ,,-.
Chairman Carlson of the Sem
ate Civil Service Committee, said
his group will look into the situ-
alton.

Department experts learned
many of the worms are carrying
parasites which eventually will
become insects large enough to
kill the worms.
Farmers in this locality prob
ably gained small solace. from
learning they are not alone in
the struggle. - -
The army worms were reported
seriously damaging crops in Illi-
nois, Indiana, Ohio. Missouri,
West Virginia, Kentucky. Penn
sylvania, Louisiana and Tennes-
see.
The worms were travelling as
many as 100 to square foot in
Illinois with Staggering crop
losses" Indiana'S infestation
was called worst in history"
An Indiana farm agent recon-
mended working up soil into
strips of dust Is to 20 feet wide
in the line of march. Fine dust
will halt the crawlers, he said.

caterpillar, has caused equal con-

Army Worms Invade
Virginia Farm Areas
As Outbreak Spreads

New hordes Of destructive
army worms were sighted today
in Virginia as Montgomery
County farmers continued to
battle the costly invasion.
C. r. Wiley. Virginia State
entomologist. said the grayish-
brown worms had eaten their
way through extensive southwest
area ryefields and had leveled a
35-acre field of alfalfa and oats
in Prince George County, Va.
The Shenandoah Valley and
Eastern Shore also have been hit.
Along the shore some crops have
been sprayed from airplanes in
the battle to the death with the
army" invaders.
A little more than an inch
long, and thick as a pencil. the
worms strip a field, then move
along to another. Their regular
formation reminds one of an
army. They remain above earth
for about two weeks, then dig in
until fall to emerge as moths.
Outbreak Called Worst.
The Virginia outbreak was
called the most serious since
World War II. Even when
farmers exterminate the raw
ayers with poisons or trenches.
the crops usually have been de-
stroyed by the infestation.
Hard-hit Montgomery County.
Md. reported several new dis
coveries of the worms yesterday.
Two separate armies were
found on the farm of Edwin Fry.
jr., about a mile northeast of
Laytonsville. Six miles north of
Brookville another army was oc-
cupying adjoining farms at Sum-
shine.
They apparently broke out on
Robert T. Browns acres and
spread to the neighboring Myers
brothers property.
