New Jersey, Ohio
may lower voting age
Washington (CPS)
Hopes for lowering the voting
age nationally may hinge
upon the outcome of two
hotly contested reierendums
Nov. 4 in Ohio and New
Jersey.
The two states are the first
to put the issue before the
people, and the results are
expected to give a strong In
dication as to how voters in
other states will react, says
Youth Franchise Coalition
Coordinator lan McGowan.
Thirteen slates have ap
proved public refereudums
on the issue so far.
The New Jersey campaign
hopes to lower the voting age
to 18. while the Ohio contest
is over the 19-year old vote.
"It looks very, very close."
according to Stewart
Rothskin, executive director
of the New Jersey Voting
Age Coalition. "We may be a
tiny bit ahead, but only a few
per centage points."
In Ohio, the campaign
seems to be in a little better
position, but it is expected to
race to the wire, according
to Fat Kcel'er, assistant ex
ecutive director of Ohio
Volunteers for Vote 19. Re
cent polls In Ohio show ap
proximately 53 per cent of
the voters favoring the
younger vote with 55 per cent
of the people in metropolitan
Cleveland supporting it.
In both states student
campaigners have waged
heavy door-to-door canvass
ing campaigns. In Ohio the
final two weekends before
the vote have been planned
as "Vote 19" weekends for
canvassing of up to 811 per
cent of the voting popula
tion. The Ohio campaign is
somewhat less vocal and
dramatic- than the New
Jersey effort, due in part to
"the more conservative
nature" of Ohio voters,
Rothskin maintains.
While In Ohio rallies have
been used only to encourage
volunteers to canvass, a
massive public rally was
organized for Trenton -
New Jersey's capital to
excite the state's voters.
Several thousand 18-to 21
year olds were expected to
participate in the peaceful
rally Oct. 26.
Rothskin said the rally was
planned to "prove that the
people under 21-ycars old
really want the vote." To
appeal to the youth-fearing
patriots across the state, the
student marchers were to
carry American flags. "A lot
of people think students just
burn flags; we've got to
change that Image,"
Rothskin said.
There is no organized op
position to the referendum,
lie said, just a "quiet pro
blem with the image of
youth,"
Miss Reefer said the turn
ing point In the Ohio cam
paign was Vietnam Morator
ium Day. Oct. 15, which was
"tremondouslv successful" in
the stale. "Had it been
disruptive things miglrt Umk
a lot worse (or us today."
Press coverage, both news
and editorial support, has
been favorable, particularly
since the Moratorium, she
said. ,

constitutions that would go
into effect in January.
Youth Franchise Coalition
organizers feel a show of
public interest in lowering
the voting age at this time
could result in an "early and
favorable" consideration of a
national Constitutional
amendment.
Only two states, Kentucky
and Georgia, presently grant
the vote to persons under 21.
Both have the 18-year old
vote, But every state except
Mississippi (and the
federally dominated District
of Columbia) has devoted
study to the voting age issue
since June, 1908. In the entire
six years before only 27
states considered the issue.
Twenty states this year
have defeated bills which

would have put the issue
before statewide referen
dums. Three other state
legislatures have killed bills
without ever voting on them.
In several other states, bills
are still pending.
Of the state legislatures
which have approved
referendums to consider
lowering the voting age,
seven have set the minimum
age at 19, five at 18, and one
at 20.
In Pennsylvania, the two
houses of the state
legislature passed con
tradictory bills earlier this
year. The House passed a bill
to set the voting age at 18,
while a Senate bill passed
establishing the age at 19. A
joint committee from both
Houses was set up to resolve
the difference.

Haircuts from EL TORO
only look more expensive.
Because El Toro is lavishly decorated, has four good
barbers, a shoe shine man, a talking parrot, and a pet
alligator, people think our haircuts cost more.
Not true.
El Toro charges regular prices for haircuts.
We feel you're entitled to a little atmosphere when
you get your hair cut. The atmosphere of New Spain in

Kuzma offered several
apologies for material which
sounded alike to the amuse

category of works having like
structures.
One talked about a girl
from Missouri with Missouri
lips and Missouri ideals, etc.
The second portrait was
somewhat lighter as it told
the almost epic tale of one
who was born in Alaska and

became sick of Florida and

involving marriages, visits to

finally rejection, by the

Press.
Kuzma's final reading was
of a work which was inspired
by an old Leadbelly Song,
"Let's not go down to the
well no more, Hannah."
Kuzma admitted that this
song could easily have been
picked up by a protest group
of some sort- and the words
of the poem would lend
themselves to it.
Although the crowd was
small, it was appreciative.
More importantly, trie
performer seemed pleased
with the whole thing which
will definitely help in the
