Teen drinking levels off after mid-1960s say experts
Dr. Morris E. Chafetz and Dr. Howard T. Blane warn policy makers not to overreact as surveys show teen-age drinking stabilized since the mid 1960s and that labeling youths as alcoholics is misleading. They urge careful, evidence based action and oppose precipitous policy shifts while noting mixed results on minimum drinking age effects.

Organizations keep students out of trouble
University Park reports a Penn State study finds that high school students involved in athletics and other after school activities show lower delinquency. Across 521 New York teens from 1959 to 1972 those active in both athletics and clubs had 7.6 percent arrest records versus 3.3 percent for no activities, with all 10 felonies in the no activity group. Other findings show activity correlates with college success, and no one activity outperforms others in building character.
