New Look at College Drinking.
Shea, Christopher
Chronicle of Higher Education, v41 n16 pA39 Dec 14 1994
A survey of 17,592 college students on 140 campuses indicates considerable alcohol abuse, which is adversely affecting the social and academic environment for nonabusers. Results also show variation by region, student age, and institution. The study suggested that students' drinking was not affected by differences in school policies. Some schools reported rules to protect the rights of nonabusers. (MSE)
