Smokin, < By Rita D.Ford Qamacock Staff Wrttar students living in fraternity and sorority houses are more likely to smoke than other students. Certain majors have more smokers than others. College students know the adverse effects of smoking, and will seek assistance in changing their smoking behavior when given the opportunity. ITiese hypotheses, formulated in 1968 by the American College Health Association, will be tested by a group of researchers who are _ ? ? conuucimg a vramecocK smoiong survey. Five-page questionnaires were distributed Tuesday morning to approximately 300 randomlyselected males and females enrolled in summer session I. The researchers are Rhonda R. Reinhardt, program director of the S.C. Lung Association; Jerry Busmeyer, research consultant of the Social and Behavioral Sciences Lab at USC; E.K. Aycock and Jay Wolfson, advisers at USC's School of Public Health; and Archie H. McLean and Eugene M. Crouch, public health graduate students. "WE WOULD like to find out the _ ? A-\- 11 ? - iiwua ui uie couege population ana their smoking habits and trends and see if they feel there's a need to have smoking withdrawal clinics on campus for the students," Reinhardt said. "The Lung Association offers smoking withdrawal clinics and programs throughout the state but we don't aim them specifically at one age group."
