According to the survey, 5.8 percent of the high school seniors questioned this past spring had used cocaine in the most recent month, up from 4.9 percent the previous year. Among students in the northeast section of the country, (he figure jumped from 6.9 to 11 percent. But use of all other drugs on the survey ? including LSD, PCP, cigarettes, alcohol, marijuana, sedatives and tranquilizers ? was down. THE PERCENTAGE of regular marijuana smokers, for example, rlronned one-half a percentage noint to five percent, down from the 1978 peak of 11 percent. The continuing decline stems from an increasingly widespread view that drug use is risky and unacceptable behavior, said survey director Lloyd Johnston of the University of Michigan. "In the long run, this may be the only battle in the war against drugs that society can really win," Johnston said of the bid to change students' altitudes toward drug use. The attempts to control the supply and price of drugs arc likely to fail, he said. iliut others, while accepting the n n i o.t. nouse ci By Associated Press A resolution expressing the General A cern and regret" over a judge's derog blacks easily passed the House yesterda> for trouble in the Senate.

Iiy ilium LULdllll validity of Johnston's methodology, suggest other factors may account for the continuing decline. "THE USE of achiever drugs, such as cocaine, is going up, while the use of relaxing drugs is going down," said Kevin Zeese, director of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, which discourages the use of controlled substances but favors making marijuana legal. "We're not so much solving the drug problem as changing it, Zeese said. Joanne Gampel, director of the Center on Marijuana and Health, said students' increased emphasis on learning marketable skills is changing drug use habits. "People want to be energized," she said. "Marijuana doesn't do that. Students can't work while on marijuana, but they can while on cocaine." THF.RK ARK even signs of an increasing cocaine habit among politically conservative college students, not normally drug experimenters, Ciampel said. "One student at the University of Maryland told me the word on campus is lhat students don t teel cocaine is a drug," Ciampel said, "it's just something that gi\es you strength and energy. They want to get ahead in the world, so using something that gives you energy is okay."

What's more, Johnston's survey indicates students arc increasingly wary of cocaine. In 1983, 74 percent of them said they thought there is great risk in regular cocaine use. In 1984, that figure jumped to 79 percent. THE FIGURES on cocaine use, though up from 1983, do not reflect all-time highs. The percentage of students reporting using cocaine during the previous month was the same as in 1981, and the percentage who said they had used it during the previous year was nearly a percentage point lower than the 1981 figure. The survey also found: seniors use 01 seuuuves ami iranquili/crs declined ;igain. While there was no discernible change in students* use of heroin and other opiates, their use of LSD contained a steady decline that began in 1980, and the use of PCP remained low after a precipitous drop between 1979 and 1982. There are no indications students are replacing illegal drugs with alcohol. The number reporting having five or more drinks in one sitting during the two weeks before completing the questionnaire declined two percent to 39 percent. The number of smokers, which dropped by a third between 1977 and 1980, fell another two percent from IU?1 i,\ 1DWJ l-??\i i?r ilrni .in.>.I il l h <r I he seniors said thev smoke daily. s racial slur RENT resolution passed the Mouse on a ring held up briefly Thursday on a rules tied retired Chief Justice Joseph Moss for mn niggers" to describe a group of blacks viction of a black defendant in Anderson g court as a special judge, and his remark n open microphone and recorded in the ofthc court stenographer.
