Only statistics, research and the possibility of sav
ing lives are involved in considering a raise in the
drinking age, not ethics, said Sen. WUliam Nichol of
However, many UNL students oppose the
legislation.

UNL freshman Chris Evans, who would be affected
by the change. "If you can fight fervour country and
die for your cour.tr', you should be able to drink in
your country."
The UNL Government Liaison Committee is
optimistic about the possibility of blocking the bilL
GLC lobbyist Ruth Boham said the committee's
strongest argument will be that the bill will have
little effect since Nebraska's neighbors have lower
drin.-ar g agss,
Andy Carothcrs, GLC legislative vice-chairman,
agreed with Be ham.
"GLC recognizes there is a problem with alcohol,
but LB56 is not the solution," Carothers said- "In
actuality it might put more teenagers . . . driving to
neighboring states under the influence."
Evans said he thought the bill was unfair.
-We can vote, be drafted and get married at lb,
but we can't sit in a bar until we're 21," Evans said.
They treat us like an adult on one hand and turn
around and say we dont know right from wrong
when it cornea to drinking, like a child."
Jen Under, an 18-year-old non-drmling fresh
man, said the inconsistent ages at which one b
labeled an adult are annoying.
The best thing to do would be to decide an age
when a person would be considered an adult, com
plete!"; an age when everybody is legal for every
thing," Linder said. He supported a national drink
ing age to settle the dispute.
Maura Kenny, a 19-year-old sophomore, said she
would support raising the drinking age only if it
would reduce the number of traffic deaths.
I dent see how raising it from 20 to 21 is going to
affect the fatalities of teenagers," Kenny said.
UNL senior Les Greer, 27, said that although 20-year-clds
would not be able to go to bars, they still
would continue to drink.
The session is so short," Boham said. "I would
rather see our state legislators spend time on ether
policy items."

Quadriplegic cuiTaro cctback
SAN FRANCISCO Quadriplegic Elizabeth
Bouvia suffered a setback Thursday in her
long-running campaign to starve herself to
death when the California Supreme Court
rejected her appeal against being forcibly fed.
The 25-year-cid Bouvia, a victim cf cerebral
palsy who says she is tired of living in a "useless
body wants to commit suicide by starvation
under medical care at the hospital in River
side, near Los Angeles, where she has been
since last September. The hospital has refused
to allow this and she has been force-fed since
late December.
A one-sentence ruling by the State Supreme
Court in San Francisco refused Bouvia's request
for an order that would allow the force-feeding
to be stopped. Lawyers for Bouvia are expected
to make further appeals.

NEW YORK President Ream's Budget
Director David Stockman says he does not
believe it is possible for any U.S. administration
to make any more big cuts in federal spending,
even in the face of enormous deficits. Stockman-said
in the latest i. v ue of Fortune maga
zine that the idea that government spending
could be cut by rooting cut waste, fraud and
abuse was a fantasy.
"Some still think there are vast pockets of
fraud, waste and abuse out there. In fact,
nearly even- stone has been turned over," the
director of the Office of Management and
Budget said in a rare, on-the-record interview.
His view ran counter to recent conclusions of
Reagan's so-called Grace Commission, which
said the government could save billisns cf dol
lars by cleaning up wasteful prcranis.
