Rotary Club Forum Debates Giving Pl-Year-Olds the Right to Vote £ A rip-shdrtiof, slam-buif, knock-

Chkrles Beuyhill, Dr. William Small and William Gratz representing' the negative team! In favor of (educing the voting age were Nicholas Manzarie, Roger Wojcik, Don-ild. Barker and Clair Chapman, all
Jgh school students. • -• Mr. Wojcik began with the argument that'if 18A ear-old bo>s are eld enough to defend the republic {hey are • old enough to vote. He was seconded by Mr. Barker who

makes them more fully equipped (o weigh issues and understand the

' preparation for citizenship than <Ver again.

Into the .fray with the tongue-in-. cheek statement that he "resented
the implication a person ceases to • learn' upon graduation. And., fur*

'ability to-fight,: why I have seen • ihany prjie examples of fisticuffs
among seven and eight-year-olds." • Father Sutherland then observed
that Richard Melnotte and William •:-Marshall," student greeters, were
fining members for being late at 12110 /p.m.—five . minutes before the customary deadline. *i don't think that anybody who can't tell time/should be allowed to vote," be quipped.-. .
Mr. Chapman bounced back with ; the observation that in same states

into contractual agreements which are legally binding. He said that in many Latin American countries the voting age is 18 and that the custom of making 21 the required limit is "a concept that has "been carried over from the Middle Ages."
The Rev. Mr. Bcrryhill stepped in with the remark that **even the wisest of young men have limittd experience and experience is essential for intelligent voting. We must understand that it is more difficult to vote right than to fight."
Dr. Small added that the gratitude of a people to its young fighting men is a different thing from the rights and obligations of citizenship. In order to vote intelligently, he said, one must have experience which is not wholly in-school experience. ' "This is a matter which has been brought up in almost every war. Actually, people who already are able to vote ought to do a much better job than they do today. This means more information, more experience and more mature judgment."
"Yes, but docs the period between 18 and '21 give that much more knowledge and experience?" Mr. Manzarie querried.
Dr. Small replied by saying that unfortunately about 50 per cent of the voters in the 21-25 age group do not vote and that the voters in, that bracket are actually working out their apprenticeship as citizens.
Another student joined in with the remark that young people are more likely to see issues clearly by virtue of the fact that they have not formed business alliances which color their political thinking.
"The businessman is likely to vote for the party that gives him the best deal where the. young voter will vote for that which is best for the country." He concluded by referring to oldsters' tendency to be governed by prejudice in choosing their candidates.
Fathdr Sutherland said it is true older people may have prejudices, but the 18-year-old is governed mainly by emotion—based on- his observations at the Tecent appearance here of a nationally-known crooner.
"I would prefer the stability of prejudices as opposed to the instability of emotions."
Undaunted, Mr. Barker rejoined

Robber, Robbed M e e t -In Police Station Lobby : BUFFALO, May 26 Oft—Police today considered the stickup of a Buffalo gas station solved ' after two men—the robbed and the robber—met in, of all places, the lobby of police headquarters.
Station Attendant Joseph Williams, 38, of Buffalo, had come down to police headquarters to give details of the $211 robbery and look over some possible suspects. He had been heldup by three men.
"Hey," he shouted as he walked through the lobby, "that's one of the men who held me up."
He was pointing at Albert J. Gasek, 20, of Buffalo, who had been in the .station on other-charges. 1 After the initial break, police
quickly rounded up .William H. Faulkner, 36, also of Buffalo, and were seeking the third member of the trio. , .

that It is the fact that 18-year-old lads are not allowed to participate in government which prevents them from becoming "emotional" about civic matters when called upon to fight for their country. Says Young People Take Parents' Views
Mr. Gratz said that as a general rule.young people take the same viewpoint as their parents. "Lowering the age limit will increase the number of votes, but will it change the support which parties receive?"
- He also asked whether young people, being in the service or at college or elsewhere, would have the necessary period of residence to qualify at the polls.
But this line of argument was met by the students citing a proposal that the new voters could employ absentee ballots as long as they maintained a permanent residence.
And so it went, back- and forth. One student asked if he was declared a minor why should he have to.go to war. The Rev. Mr. Berry-hill replied that "in this dizzy, crazy world in which we live we need you in our armed forces because the best fighters are the youth. But that docs not necessarily make you a good voter."
Another student replied that at the time this nation was founded 4he cry went up, "No taxation without representation." He wondered if there weren't people in that day who said, "They arc the best people to tax, but they shouldn't be allowed to vote."
The debate over with neither side declared victor, Arnold Zim-mer, acting president, called upon Robert Litchard, who thanked the club on behalf of the students for having invitedt hem to its luncheons during the year. Particular tribute went to Paul Max.son, Rota-rian in charge of the student guest program.
Other students taking part in yesterday's program are William Van Loans, Edward Apcn, Larry Steele, Darryl Watson, Rodger Hillman, Jim Williams, William Russ, Keith Foran, Joseph Bacceli, Robert Metone and Don Fose.
Guests introduced included Elton C. Schwinger, principal of La-Salle high school; Frank Jack, principal of Niagara Falls high school; Morison Brigham, head* master of DeVeaux; the Rev. Daniel Earley, OSFS, vice principal of Bishop Duffy high school, and Earl Sharpe, principal of Trott Vocational high school.
