FRUG SPREADS ACROSS CANADA Girls in Montreal dance the frag in a discotheque, a club or hall where up-tempo rec- ords play continuously and customers dance variations of the twist. A fluttering slightly fitted shift dress, called the discotheque style, designed for modern dances is being worn by these girls. The craze started in Paris and is spread- ing across Canada --CP Photo Alcohol Said Problem On Higher Education By JIM NEAVES WINNIPEG (CP) -- Univer- sity may be the key to higher education but it may also open a door of another kind --one leading to alcoholism. Bob C., 23, in his second var at the University of anitoba, has had ample op- portunity to study drinking on campus. "University is a potential ground for alcohol- ics," he says. "If a young person had had experience with liquor in high school but has not started to drink heavily, there's a pretty good pe be the bottle will get him in university." Bob's.own drinking problem reached its peak during the interval between graduation from high School and start- ing university. After two un- successful attempts to start his studies, however, he has managed to stay clear of liquor for two years with the help of Alcoholics Anonym- ous. He says he and most of his friends started to drink in high school -- "most kids in high school think a non- drinker is a square." "J. didn't know it then but I was on the road to a real problem. I was shy, even scared of people, and drink- ing helped give me enough courage to attend dances." SUFFERED BLACKOUTS At 18 he entered university for the first time and lasted 11 weeks. before he quit. In the period before the next term he worked at several laboring and clerking jobs as his drinking increased. "It was at this time that I began to drink heavily on weekends with my friends, I never reached the stage of drinking alone. But I did start to get blackouts, became vio- lent and anti-social during my drinking bouts." _--____--_ Making another try, Bob, then 19, entered university for the second time. This was less successful than the first and he was out after seven weeks. Still drinking, he worked for three months before enrolling for an architectural draught- ing course at a technical in- stitute. "No one knew for. two weeks, but after the second day I didn't attend classes; I just hung around downtown." Bob, who was four when his father was killed in an air crash a month after the Sec- ond World War ended, was raised by his mother, who worked part time. "T don't know whether she realized I had a drinking problem, I know I didn't. But she persuaded me to see a psychiatrist. He suggested I take shock treatments be- cause he felt I had a nervous condition. But I got scared when I saw the treatment machine and left the hospital where I was supposed to be treated." LIVED WITH UNCLE After learning Bob had left technical school, the psychia- trist suggested he go live with an uncle in the country. "He thonght my fatherless upbringing had some effect on my feeling of inferiority. But after one month with my uncle I returned to the city-- accompanied by my drinking problem." It was at this point, Bob says, that he became "lucky," agreeing to attend meetings of Alcoholics Anony- mous at the psychiatrist's suggestion. Since then he has managed to stay away from the bottle. During summer vacation he worked as a railway sleeping car porter and says the con- tact with people helped give him confidence. He now talks easily to strangers. He says he realizes that one drink would probably lead to the failure of his third at- tempt at getting a university education. And while trying to lick his own problem, he feels his own experience may help others. High school students with a feeling of inferiority or shy- ness, instead of drinking to bolster their courage as he did, should attend open meet- ings of AA. "They will find most people at the meeting will tell of similar problems and of the futility of trying to solve them through a bottle."

The pair, both active in the Greater Winnipeg YMCA, spent two weeks summer teaching swimming at a re- mote Indian camp in north- ern Manitoba. And the Winnipeg Y al- ready is working on plans to mer. Keith, 19, is a second-year arts student at the University of Manitoba and Jim, 17, is in his last year of high school in the Greater Winnipeg city of St, Vital. They volunteered their time for two weeks in July to work without pay at a settlement of about 1,000 Indians on the Is- land Lake reserve, 250 miles northeast of Winnipeg. Although hampered by poor weather and lack of facitities, the pair taught classes of 40 to 50 young Indians.' At the end of the stay most of the pupils had learned to stay afloat and about 10 had be- come fairly good swimmers. FEW CAN SWIM Although the Indians in the area are fishermen and trap- pers who depend largely on the water for their livelihood, they don't think of the water as a source of recreation and almost none can swim. But Keith says that reports from the camp since they left indicate their young .pupils have continued to swim for pleasure. The project was sparked by Peter Lazarenko, owner of @ fish-processing plant in the Island Lake area. He approached officials of the Greater Winnipeg YMCA and told them Indian fisher- men in the north had some- times drowned because they -couldn't swim. He' also sug- gested the YMCA might help the Indians to develop a lead- ership program. Mrs. Lazarenko flew the boys into Island Lake and paid the cost of their stay. In addition, Syd Glenesk, 40, a Winnipeg YMCA physical ed- ucation director, spent his two-week vacation conducting a similar program et Norway House, 276 miles north of Winnipeg. His wife and four children went with him. At Island Lake, Keith and Jim Bishop Invites You to see their |} Complete . Line of Ski, Curling and Hockey Equipment.

Attention m Indians Jim stayed with the Hudson's Bay Company trader. They found that the Indian chil- dren, who attend a Roman Catholic mission school, all spoke English well. The Indians, said Keith, were quieter and _better-be- haved pupils than the ones he is used to teaching in Win- nipeg YMCA classes. "They paid attention well, and they learned quickly." Butto get a good swim- ming area, Keith said, in- structors and pupils had to cross the lake by boat to an island. Several days during their two weeks the lake was too rough to be crossed, EAGER TO RETURN Both boys are keen to go back to the north next sum- mer. "We _ enjoy 'teaching swimming," said Keith, "'and it gave us a chance to learn something about the Indians. "We got as much out of the two weeks as we put into it." Alex Owen, program and staff development secretary of the Greater Winnipeg.
