SAT. & SUN, al 2:30 Mast discusses legal problems By RICK NELSON Collegian City Editor Have a legal problem? "We'll try to help you with anything you can get into," Yates, Mast, Uliiv i ersity legal adviser, told a group of about 20 students yesterduy. At an orientation meeting in Thompson, Mast described everything from the effects of the change in the age - of; majority to legal problems in which students might find them Selves involved in town. The change of the age of majority in Pennsylvania is not really. a change at all, Mast ex plained. He said that, while surrounding states simply lowered the age of majority to 18 in: all cases, Pennsylvania kept it at 21 and lowered it to 18 in Most cases. He , said 19. separate laws were pasSed allowing 18 year olds to become jurists, fireman, policemen, driver education in structors,• school board mem bers or even district attorneys, assuming an 18 year old could have Completed law school. He' said one ruling not beneficial to 18-year-olds is that they are now eligible for taxation. "If you become known in this town, local Tax Collector (Paul) Bender will clip you for about $23 a year," he said. He' said one way to avoid local taxation is to prove 232 EAST COLLEGE AVE 10 FEET UNDERGROUND KC 32426' KC 31996 KC 31748 The most astounding, exciting, most Lightning bright music from the critically acclaimed, spi itual rock most incredible new group around, group around.

He said that showing pover ty or a net flow of funds of less than $lBOO per year is another means of avoiding taxation. He said a case for poverty must be presented to the school board. Another area affected by new laws regarding the age of majority is the ability to enter into contracts. Mast said this area is important in dealing with "a group of landlords and merchants who in my opinion prey upon students." He said that, while before the ruling minors could not be held to contracts, 18-year-olds now are bound by them. He cited as an example of possible trouble that students renting apartments under most leases' are "Jointly and severally responsible." This means that if four men leave a five-man apartment, the man left is financially responsible for the entire apartment. He said some students have inadvertently signed leases that require 90-day notice before the lease expires to prevent automatic renewal and find themselves financially respon sible for $2,000 leases. He mentioned the drinking age as one area in which the age of majority has not changed.

As an example of other in stances in which the age of majority has not changed, Mast said, "The University and the state have a lot of strange rules where the age of majority is still 21." He said although a student over 21- can claim in-state residence for tuition purposes if he has resided in the state one year without attending school, a student under 21 has his residency imputed to that of his parents. Aside from the age of majority question, Mast cited the case of a University of Pittsburgh student, a Pennsylvania resident, who married a man from Texas and had her residency reclassified as out-of-"state by the Univer 7 sity. Mast said income as well as residency can be imputed for people under 21. He said although a parent might not contribute financially to a student's education, the student would not be eligible. for finan cial aid if the parent's income were high enough. Mast also cited drug laws as a possible source of legal problems.
