Youth of Today Mature by 18
One of the major issues being age in Pennsylvania,
expressed in this area is that of Attorney Wendell Good feels
lowering the drinking age from 21 that the youth of today are
to 18 years of age. With recent ma ture at 18, and that they are
legislation, all of the mmor s age entitled to adult privileges and
limits were dropped to 18, with responsibilities. He stated that
the exception of the consumption the minor’s age was first
of alcoholic beverages. Local and established at 21, because that
state senatorial candidates were was the average age that men
questioned on their position were first able to carry their own
regarding lowering the drinking armor. David DiCarlo, believes

In favor of lowering age to 19
that "you can’t be half an adult,”
referring to the fact that the
recent legislation excluded the
drinking age being lowered.
“Bills must be consistent.”
Benjamin Dombroski is un
decided on the issue because of
the fact that some 18 year olds
are still in high school. He also
added, “During 1971, 112,000 18
year olds graduated from high
school’’.“Therefore, should a
person of 18, still in high school,
be allowed to drink legally?”
Many times I sit in a classroom
and listen to a teacher’s lecture
and I know he is trying to tran
smit many ideas into mind but I
cannot understand a word he is
saying because this lecture is so
confusing. 1 used to think, it was
because this teacher was so in
telligent and well-learned in his
subject matter that he could not
come down to my level of thinking
to teach it. But now I am begin
ning to think differently. I wonder
how many teachers ever took
methods courses in school on how
to teach their particular subject.
I realize this does not apply to all
teachers, but for the ones to
which this does apply, something
must be done.
Teacher evaluation is about the
only way in which teachers
themselves can find out where
their problem area is, if one does
exist. I do not mean a com
puterized list of 50 questions to
which the students answer “I
strongly agree or disagree.” I
feel each teacher should conduct
his own evaluation and have it
contain questions that pertain
exactly to the particular course
being taught. There should be
room provided on the evaluation
for lengthy answers and-or
suggestions by the students. The
Improvement of Teaching
Committee this year is providing
many services for the teacher so
he may conduct his own
evaluation. I hope most of the

November 7
A Day of Reckoning
There is only one issue in the
1972 Campaign. Richard Nixon.
Everyone knows what the word
“Nixon” means. It means slogans
and image making. PR instead of
programs. Talk instead of action.
Scheming and manipulating and
hoping the public won’t find out.
Even the “Committee to Re-
Elect the President” is afraid to
use the name Nixon—they’re
afraid the people will remember
Nixon today is the same “Tricky
Dicky” he has been all along.
In his four year occupancy of
the White House, Nixon has made
one thing perfectly clear-that he
has no intention of keeping any of
the promises that put him there.
Nixon promised a secret plan to
end the war. The war continued
four years later. (Now it looks as
if we will have an election day
peace.)
Nixon promised a war on
crime. Instead violent crime has
gone up 33 per cent.
Nixon promised control of in
flation. But prices, especially of
food, still soar.
Nixon promised help for the
elderly, for the poor, for

In addition to the films, there
will be critical seminars con
ducted by film-makers, critics,
students, educators and labor
leaders. Arrangements are also
being made for several book
publishers to be present at the
screenings.

Learning by Doing
Dr. Ptaschnik’s Sociology 7
class will soon be in the field
collecting the data for their
projects. Each member of the
class is doing a social research
project concerning some facet of
Behrend Campus. The projects
concern problems of the campus
such as the social, academic, and
extracurricular. Each of the
students of the class is engaged in
an individual “learning by doing”
process in order to gain a
workable knowledge of social
research. For the next few weeks
the members of the class will be
approaching certain students and
faculty with questionnaires. The
recipients of these questionnaires
are urged to answer each item as
best they can. Additionally, some
students and faculty will be asked
for an interview. The reason that
cooperation is requested from the
students and faculty is that ex
perimental “side effects” could
result from information supplied
by less than the best available.
Your cooperation is requested to
insure the best possible results
for each of the individual
projects. Thank you.
education, for cities-and vetoed
the bills Congress passed to give
that help.
Nixon pretends to be a friend of
labor. But he has frozen the
workingman’s wages while
allowing record corporate
profits. He refuses to support
legislation that labor put at the
top of this year’s agenda-pension
security (voting record, Nixon 14
per cent, McGovern 94 per cent in
favor of labor).
Nixon promised to “bring us
together”. But his deliberately
polarizing rhetoric and callous
neglect of real problems are
tearing the fabric of this nation
apart.
Nixon promised a climate of
respect for law and order. Instead
he’s shown contempt for law by
illegal snooping on citizens, trying
to pack the Supreme Court with
mediocrity, secret big-money
political deals-and now outright
burglary in the Watergate caper.
Nixon has kept one promise
though. He told the American
public if elected we will not have
to choose between unemployment
and inflation, for he will have
given us both.'
On Nov. 7th, exercise our right
and vote the only way feasible-
Vote McGovern.
