females. The age of the "victim"
in each case was lowered in the
law from 21 to 18.
CIVIL LAW
Students, and others, 18 and
over are now legal adults in
many areas covered by civil law,
through seven acts passed by the
Legislature, related to the
following subjects:
1. Making a will.
2. Taking title to real estate.
3. Entering into binding
contracts.
4. The right to be personal
representatives (executor,
administrator, etc.)
5. Accepting Income from
life insurance.
6. Females working in certain
occupations.
7. Obtaining marriage license
without parental consent.
Of special consideration for
students is the "binding
contracts" area. In general, a
minor has always had the right
to enter into a binding contract
but a minor's contracts are
voidable (not void).
The distinction between a
voidable and a void contract, in
this case, means that a minor is
considered to be at a
disadvantage, when dealing with
aduls in the matter of contracts,
because of lack of experience.
Therefore, while he is still a
minor, and in fact for a time
after coming of age, he may
disaffirm any contract, with
limited exceptions, which he has
made during his minority. The
adult who has made a contract
with a minor may not disaffirm.
In other words, the minor can
hold the adult to the contract
but the adult cannot hold the
minor. (Contracts which a minor
cannot disaffirm include military
enlistment, marriage contracts
where the marriage has been
performed but not a marriage to
be performed in the future.
Certain contracts for food,
clothing, lodging, medical care,
and proper education are
enforceable against the minor to
a 'reasonable value' extent.)
But under Act No. 151,
1972, any person 18 years of age
or older has the right to enter
into binding and legally
enforceable contracts "and the
defenses of minority shall not be
available to such person. Now
the 18-20 year old person is
bound on his contracts as
persons 21 or over so that he
must now use caution in
entering into any contracts,
sales, purchases, leases, deeds,
releases, etc.

POWER PLAY
Mankind has been on a stage.
We have all been fools on and off the stage.
The curtains have been drawn.
They are of many colors- but white.
They are clean and neat and pleated.
Why no white curtains?
Don't whites get dirty too?
Can't whites see they too are on the stage?
They too wear masks.
They too are laughed at, cried at, and clapped at too.
But then whites haven't been alone on this
stage- of history.
History is the story- it's the play.
It's been played over and over again.
We know who's been on top.
But "fuck" that.
Today is a new history- a new play.
The script is not the same.
When I see these two people before me
I see a new script written
It doesn't have to be hidden under.
It's not about drug history,
drugs kill.
It's about love-like history.
My curtains are open to you.
And I hope you too mind.
That's a good beginning
We fools on this stage
of life.

Nor is the difinition of a
minor entirely in the hands of
state lawmakers. The 26th
amendment to the Federal
Constitution regarding Voting,
the equal protecting clause of
the 14th amendment, the
Federal Draft Act, all require
that 18 year olds be considered
adults. The courts, by
interpretation, may declare that
for virtually all purposes 18 is
the age of majority.

a problem and needs someone to

The Head Shop has also set
up a Drug Analysis Center where
anyone can have drugs analized
without fear of being
investigated for their possession.
Past events sponsored by the
Head Shop have been communal
dinners and the rock festival
held last spring. In the future the
Head Shop plans to sponsor and
maintain a Walk-in Center.
The Head Shop is interested
in new members and hopes that
anyone having new ideas or just
some interest in the group will
attend their next meeting, this
coming Monday night.
