Findings indicated that counselors manifested an average, but not positive, perception of their ethical environment. Job satisfaction was highest among counselors employed at small institutions. While variable, communication conflict styles indicated possible power struggles occurring within counseling centers. Implications for campus‐based counseling centers are discussed.

Alcohol Use and Drinking Motives Among Sanctioned and Nonsanctioned Students
This study examined differences in the relationship of drinking motives to drinking behavior among sanctioned and nonsanctioned 1st‐year students (N = 298). Results of hierarchical regression analyses indicated that for both sanctioned and nonsanctioned students, alcohol use was predicted by social and enhancement motives, and alcohol‐related consequences were predicted by social, enhancement, and coping motives. High levels of conformity motives predicted alcohol use and alcohol‐related consequences for sanctioned students only. Counseling implications are discussed. (Source: Journal of College Counseling)

Meaning in Life in College Students: Implications for College Counselors
The authors examined the relationship between meaning in life and college adjustment in a sample of 96 college students. In line with previous research on meaning in life and positive psychosocial functioning measures, presence of meaning was positively correlated with adjustment, whereas searching for meaning was negatively correlated with adjustment.

Recommendations for college counseling services are discussed. (Source: Journal of College Counseling)
