WORLD NEWS BRIEFS COLOMBIA

Study shows underage smoking law unenforced WASHINGTON A 1992 law aimed at ending sales of ciga­ rettes and other tobacco products to minors through rigorous slate-level checking has not been adequately enforced. a private analysis says. The Department of Health and Human Services said Wednesday that the report is based on old data. Before the law look effect, 60 to 90 percent of teens were able to successfully purchase tobacco. After a year, the national average had fallen to 40 percent, and it's expected to be close to 20 percent this year, said Mark Weber, an IIHS spokesman. But the study argues that most states and U.S. territo­ ries have neglected to investigate properly if their own laws prohibiting the sale of tobacco to minors are followed and to prosecute when the laws are broken.

Afticentrlc Spirituality could go on .... Sophomore lntro Now let's think about "love." You can love your cat Sunday, October 31, back at home, you can love your Dad's '64 Chevy, you can love the Indigo Girls and love shooting hoops. You can love your roommates. You can love your significant other. You can love your parents. Same verb. Infinitely different shades of meaning. Of course, in our culture, we can sometimes compre­ hend these nuances. We understand the difference between loving a Blizzard at Dairy Queen and loving a grandmother. But in human relations, there are many subtle layers to loving. Love can manifest itself in many ways - through friendship, through gentility, through mentoring. Love can also manifest itself through sacrifice, through selfless giving. C. S. Lewis named four loves: companionship, friendship, romance, and the last and greatest, Christian love. And he felt so strongly about the uniqueness of this kind of love that he renamed it: caritas. What's equally perplexing (and yet wonderful as well) is that, with all the strands of emotion and experi­ ence that make up the fabric of our world, sometimes there are several different facets of love working at the same time.
