Objective knowledge tells us that man has to develop a soul - the third possibility given above. It further states that a belief system is a deter rent to this possibility. A belief system can be based on imagination and the power of suggestion which plays upon the suggestibility and credulity of the human be ing. If this third possibility be true, than a man or woman would have to know ^ow to do this - then work on himself on herself. Such ; method has been left to us b> George Gurdjieff. There ar no guarantees with this bui there are possibilities. Fur thermore, if Mr. Gurdjieff i; correct in his assessment of the human situation, then the possibility of having eternal life will have to be based on practice not belief.

And a recent National In stitute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism study found the number of alcohol-related in juries has dropped in states with new, higher drinking ages. West Virginia legislators reacted by introducing six different bills to raise the drinking age there, aiming to hah “the slaughter of West Virginia’s young drivers,” as state Motor Vehicle Commis sioner Virginia Roberts put it. State student groups are generally opposed to the hike. “Raising the age to 21 doesn’t address the problem at hand,” contends Michael Queen, a student government official at Marshall Universi ty and one of the lobbyists fighting the increase. The real problems, he says, are the few students over 18 who abuse alcohol and those under 18 who are already experts are getting booze illegally anyway, regardless of the legal age. Students “are adults and should be given the same rights and privileges just like other adults,’ ’says Bill Stanhope, head of the University of Oklahoma’s lobbying task force. Tennessee student body President Gary Harmon takes a more pragmatic ap proach. “We’re not a party school” so a higher drinking age won’t stop that many people from abusing alcohol. Tennessee’s Harmon ex plains, “I’m not talking about B-grade horror films, but a program that in telligently addresses the pro blem (of alcohol abuse).” “That’s really what we’re pushing for,” adds Melissa Kinsley, a University of Maryland freshman who heads her campus chapter of Students Against Drunk Driving. When Maryland raised its drinking age last year, she says, “we were for it. But we think public awareness, responsible use of alcohol and better enforcement of drunk driving laws are the real answers.” “I would raise it to 80 if I could,” says Charles Drew, the state representative of the area encompassing the University of Tennessee. “Young people should have some kind of direction.”
