Sounding Board . e S O . Gleanings from the Goldpan : The week on NUHS campus — AS WE SEE IT ARE YOU READY FOR CHRISTMAS? The Senate refused by a 9-14 vote to approve a constitutional amendment to lower the drinking age from 21 to 18.The bill was by Assemblyman Robert Cline, R-Canoga Park, A reason for not passing this bill’ was that it would result in more traffic violations and accidents .involving. drunken driving. Yet, legislators gave final approval allowing youths (teenagers) to get contraceptives from physicians without parental consent. In following their line of thinking, will this not encourage further promiscuity? Our servicemen between the ages of 18 and 21 are responsible and ADULT enough to defend, represent and many times die for our country. These very same "adults" are refused the right to drink because they aren't responsible enough to handle it. We were given the right to vote which is an adult privilege and responsibility. Many of us between the ages of 18 21 are on our own, earning a living, and in many cases raising and supporting a family, all adult responsibilities. We feel that since we have many responsibilities of the adult world, we have earned their privileges too. By I STOBER ‘ HEARD ON CAMPUS _.
