It used to be that newspapers depressed me - you cduld
only take so much about rape, murder and International
terrorism.
I tried to alleviate the problem by boycotting everything
In the paper except the sports pages. Unfortunately they,
also have become somewhat depressing with Individual and
team drug scandals showing up In the sports sections
almost every day now. . •

There certainly is a problem these days.
Yet; I don’t think it is reflective of athletics
but of society in general. For every jock
hooked on. drugs, there are 100 other
abusers out of the spotlight.

In all, some 6.000 people would have been directly af

President Donald Tehr resisted major league player par
ticipation in the program, terming It unconstitutional and
unfair to the players union.
The players themselves will not participate until the
union gives its OK.
