Two areas that required decision making were smoking and drinking, According to freshmen students, they drank for a variety of reasons: 'fl drink because everyone else does. lt makes me happy. 'fl wanted to try it. The first two quotes became the main reasons explaining why 31? of the 604 freshmen drank. There was no set pattern present in replies about how often they drank, Freshmen stafed that they drank as often as every weekend to as little as every few months. One favorite response was, Nl drink on special occasions. As far as how they got the first drink, the majority stated it was their friends who gave or experienced the first drink with them. Freshmen replied that they didn't want to be left out of the group while others drank for fun, Parents were the second major cause for freshmen drinking. One freshman was quoted saying his parents gave him some wine or other drinks on special occasions because it was a tradition. This freshman drank only twice a month but he was not sure he wanted to quit. Other freshmen students in the same situation were not sure they wanted to quit either.

Many of the freshmen continued drinking because the liquor was there, Family problems seemed to be another cause. The majority of the freshman class didn't think drinking was cool . But the majority of drinkers didn't want to stop. On the other hand, the majority of 17'X, of the freshmen who smoked cigarettes did want to stop. Many freshmen replied that they really didn't know why they started, but their first puff was from friends. Some freshmen indicated that their smoking started because they were bored and there was nothing else to do, while other students stated it was because of problems and nervous tension. Most freshmen smokers ,were light smokers. Many of the 171, who smoked averaged only one or two cigarettes a day. One freshmen admitted to one after every class. Others stated they smoked every other day, weekends or only a few times a month. When asked if they thought smoking was acceptable, the majority of the 172 replied, no. One student who smoked twice a day stated that he didn't want to quit, but even he had reservations. He stated, Nobody thinks you're cool if you smoke. Q Various pamphlets on alcoholism were availa- ble, while smoking information was scarce. Sm0king!Freshmen

Deb- bie Tobiassen, a freshman, had par- ticipated in horse shows since she was 11. Debbie and her older sister Shari worked with thoroughbred horses owned by their parents and they learned to ride them. By 11, Debbie had started to enter horse shows and had since won various awards. She had shown in Chino and at the L.A. fairgrounds. She rode English and Western, two-forms of riding, and had ridden in some highly rated shows but usually participated in local events. At age 14, she was working towards a silver trophy and had been saving high points. With the high points she would later be able to enter state competitions. Practice took one hour every day and the day before the shows Debbie gave her horse Marzett, a female Ara- bian the day off. On the day of the competitions, Debbie rode Marzett for a few hours before the show. In the competitions she had been judged on pleasure equitation, which was based on the rider. Debbie planned to continue riding and competingin horse shows and hoped to surpass her sister Shari in the amount of high points. When asked what career she would choose, Debbie replied, l would be involved with horses such as teaching people to ride, or become a veterinarian. Q QSHOWING THREE YEARS OF HARD WORK, Debbie Tobiassen has a large display to show for her achievements. With enough high points she will soon be able to enter state competitions.
