Today more than 7 million students are heing taught by more than 500,000 professors and instructors. compared with half these numbers 20 years ago. The purpose of the polariz- ers is to plant in millions of minds the idea that contem- porary American life is funda- mentally evil. The ‘“‘cure” they offer is so- cialism, to be accomplished by revolution or a massive re- structuring of existing insti- tutions through redistribution of wealth, state ownership of the means of production, guaranteed incomes for.non- workers and the creation of a totalist state — one that con- trols every phase of human activity. Also, the cessation of mili- tary action against Commun- ist armed forces on the attack and the establishment of friendly relations with Com- munist countries based on trust of their governments. This is what polarizers want. They are all too close to getting it. Higher education in Ameri- ca is in urgent need of a thor- ough house-cleaning. The Am- erican people have a right to d>mand that the job be done. It should be done by the cus- tedians of higher education. It should be started at once. —Indianapolis (Ind.) Star LETTER To The Editor 214 Marietta Avenue Mount Joy, Pa. June 25, 1970 Editor Mt. Joy Bulletin Dear Sir, After reading your editori- al in the Bulletin of June 24, 1970 (Vol. 753 No. 5) I feel 1 must respond to the point of view expressed over the issue of the lowering of the voting age to eighteen. Firstly, let me say that your analogy between playing football and fighting for one’s country is very inconclusive. Eighteen-year-olds do not only fight but frequently die for their country. Conscrip- tion forces these young men to do so, many times against their will and - without the chance to vote on the. very is- sues that send them to their deaths. Few young men are ever forced to play football against their will, to the death. But this is only a frag- ment of the reasoning behind the lowering of the voting. Reportedly, there are some 14 million young people who will be enfranchised by this act. These young people must pay income and other taxes which ate imposed on older people as well. This is about four times the population of the 13 Colonies at the time of the American Revolution. One of the main grievances of the colonial leaders was the policies of Taxation with out representation. Perhaps, this act is finally the realiza- the ideals for which tion of fought our forefathers and died The part of your argument I take the most your ° statement young people of also with which exception is that today’s 8 to 21 are not smarter than ration. Although some cut biological stu- dies would tend to disagree with me, I won’t go as far to say that this i your words ‘inherently smart- er’ than the last, but better educated and beiter informed on today’s political situation? Yea verily! The rate of the young people who finish high school and voung people who indulge in higher education is is much higher for this gene- ration than the last. Not only the amount of time spent en- 1 1» v4 C the last gens rent generation 1s, 1n gaged in formal = education but the education itself is THE BULLETIN, MOUNT JOY. PA. more conducive to a more mature understanding of cur- rent issues. Course work in the public schools, ie. Penn- sylvania "history, World Cul- tures, Problems of Democra cy, stress the importance of maintaining a working know- ledge of current political con- ditions. I would venture to say that today’s young people are much better aware of the issues surrounding political elections. And with the con- stant change of candidates who favor or are opposed to current legislation experience takes a back seat to a solid knowledge of current trends. I dare say there is much more to the reasoning behind the lowering of the voting age to 18 than fighting for one’s country or short-sighted politicians catering to the loud pleas of smart-alec youngsters.
