Martin Luther King Jr.
Monday Jan. 15,
Martin Luther King Jr.
was remembered in
services nationwide.
King led non
violent marches
through the 1950 s and
1960 s to end
discrimination against
blacks and other
minorities. He was
assassinated on April
4, 1968, in Memphis
Tenn.
Dr. King believed
that people should be
judged by their good
will and their deeds.
Many prominent black
leaders have voiced
concern that Martin’s
dream has yet to be
realized, and have
voiced the need to
live up to it.

GOLDEN, Colo
College students from
across the country are
drinking alcohol more
responsibly, according
to the Coors Light
College Survey of 750
college students.
Conducted among
students age 21 years
or older, the Coors
Light Campus Survey
measures students’
attitudes about issues
affecting them today.
Surveys were conducted
at the University of
Texas, the University
of Colorado, San Diego
State University, Penn
State University,
Florida State
University and the
University of Vermont,
Contrary to the
common stereotype,
college students say
they are concerned
about drinking
responsibly and the
majority believe their
fellow students share
their concerns.
Sixty-one percent
of survey respondents
say they are concerned
about drinking in
moderation. Of that
group, 30 percent say
they are ’’very
concerned” about the
issue. More than half
of the students
surveyed <53 percent)
say students have
become more concerned
about drinking in
moderation during
recent years, and nine
out of 10 respondents
say they are concerned
about having a
designated driver.
