by Karen Jurgensen
Staff Writer
Experts on drinking behavior
concluded at a symposium here Thursday
that the present laws on alcohol
consumption have relatively little
influence on drinking habits.

University last weekend with nine other
UNC students. The group went to Smith
as part of the Smith-UNC Exchange, a
program to allow whites and blacks ' to
live in the other's college culture and gain
insights into the way each lives.
Following is Miss Lafferty 's account of
her experience.)
The tables were turned last weekend

presented a summary of a preceding
two-day symposium to examine legal
influences on the use and abuse of
alcoholic beverages.
Present at the meeting were authorities
from California, Kentucky, Canada,
Virginia and North Carolina.
Some conclusions given by John A.
Ewing, UNC professor of psychiatry,
were that "alcohol consumption is here
to stay," and that the costs in terms of

Members of the Smith-UNC Exchange,
they were hosted at the black institution
while 10 Smith students visited UNC.
Tree-shaded and dominated by the
memorial buildings typical of most
less-than-wealthy private schools,
Johnson C. Smith University lies in the
black community in Charlotte, N.C. and
draws its student body of 1,000 from all
over the United States.
What was the Exchange like?
Educational in the broadest sense of the
word.
As junior Sally Taylor expessed it,
"Overall I think that everyone would :
agree that through the Exchange and
being thrown with someone you've never .
seen, you end up learning a lot about,
yourself."
All the participants in the Exchange
were paired with a student from their
host school with whom they lived during

Ewing emphasized the need for
alcohol education. It should be, he said
"education with emphasis on knowledge
and freedom of choice." Students and
adults must be taught that alcohol can be
consumed with moderation and that

their three-day stay, attending classes and

Insofar as possible, participants fit into
daily life at the school they were visiting
No special events were planned for the
weekend and most activities just
happened.
And this was the point of the
program: its value lay not in specific
activities but in the awareness which all
gained. This increased understanding
came in seemingly contradictory areas.
Certainly, because of the Exchange,
they are now probably more at ease
around people of another race.
As freshman Margaret Bobo
commented, "Always before they were
my black friends. After the Exchange,
they were my friends."
However, most of us also realized
anew the emphasis that American society
places upon race.
Said another freshman participant,
Libby Henson, "Before I felt that color
didn't matter; I had always gone to
school with blacks and had had black
friends. But when I went to Smith, I
found out that it does."
Everything of which we were made
aware, both at Smith and at UNC, was
made possible by a group of people
willing to engage in frank and
free-wheeling discussion.
Explained senior Linda Ayscue, "It
was a unique "group of people, in that
most of us really knew how we felt about
things and could really come across."

alcoholism is escapism.
The long-range goal of education,
Ewing said, should be the development of
relaxed and objective attitudes towards
drinking that would lead to moderation.
"If social and economic aspects of the
law outweigh the benefits of the law then
it should be repealed," concluded Ira
Cisin, professor of sociology at the
Western Office of George Washington
University in Berkeley, California.
He said such factors as age, sex,
customs, peer groups and economic status
have greater effects on drinking than
minor changes in the law.
In North Carolina, Cisin said, there is a
"mixed bag" of vague laws passed with
no intention of enforcement. The
passage of a law accomplishes very little
unless it is vigorously and sympathetically
enforced."
Speaking of various hypothesis
concerning alcohol consumption, Robin
Room, a research scientist also from GW
at Berkeley, said only modest laws have
an appreciable effect on drinking. The

Chancellor J. Carlyle Sitterson and
several officials from the Carolina
Population Center will be traveling to the
University of Ghana next week.

Universith of Ghana, UNC and the
Carolina Population Center, according to
Dr. Moye Feymann, director of the
Carolina Population Center.
Sitterson was invited by the vice
chancellor of the University of Ghana

strongest effect, he said, is good times

Room went on to say studies have
shown regional differences within the
United States in drinking patterns.
The heaviest drinking was found to be
centered in the Northeast and the West
Coast. Drinkers in these two areas tend to
be steady drinkers. Diseases associated
with habitual drinking were found to be
more prevalent in these areas also.
Social consequences of drslking were
found to be the greatest in the South.
The social attitude, he said, is that getting
drunk is considered a "time out" from
normal behavior. Consequently, drinking
tends to be explosive, uncontrolled and
violent.
It is this behavior while drunk that
must be dealt with in the South, Room

Speaking of the Jnnkir.g patterr.s of
the yOur.g in affluent communities.
Globetti aid the young are irttroiucd to
alcohol outside the home and that their
drinking is isolated from jocial norms,
thus leading to more dangerous behavior.
The attitude of the people in a pven
state has more bearing on drinking than
laws do," said Wayne Werner. Executive
Director. Middle Atlantic Institute for the
Study of Alcohol and Drugs.
Womer said also that there are four
states, of which North Carolina is one.
which do not allow the sale of liquor by
the drink.
The per capita consumption of alcohol
is lower in those states, Womer said, not
because of the laws but because of the
attitudes of the people.
In discussing the pros and cons of the
influence of advertising on drinking, the
point was raised that 10 per cent of the
American population consumes 60 per
cent of the alcohol and, of that, six per
cent consumes 41 per cent.
