SOUNDS FROM WITHIN ( HEATING NOW AND THEN by Jennifer Danielson IS AND VOTING by Stacy Kessel Should 18-year-olds he allowed to vote? I would say no. Most 18-year olds pay no attention to what goes on in federal and national voting. Eighteen is a young age now days than it was w hen this amendment was made. I believe that they should, how - ever. vote for state and local issues. I be- lievT this because we pay more attention to local issues because they concern us. Eighteen was once an age when people w ere married and out on their ow n with a job and a family to support. This w as also a time w hen our nation was being made into w hat it is today. I believe at one time it was important to vote at age IS. but now many people are still in high school and they're worred about football, basketball and w hat to w ear the next day of school. There are few people that are interested in federal or national issues in high school these days. I believe they should he allowed to vote, but limited to certain issues. PR ESI DEN TIA L TER MS by Gonzalo D'Angulo I feel most students cheat now and then. Hut I don't think the students look at it as cheating . The word cheat sounds so dirty, it might he used when associated w ith a test, but not w ith daily assignments. Most students these days have part or full-time jobs while they’re going to school. This leaves little or no time to study. Students are under a great deal of pressure to get good grades, so if one w orks late one night and their assignment is due the next day, their only way out might be to borrow someone else's as- signment. To the student, it is only logical. Teachers are not very sympathetic to ex- cuses of w hy they 're homework is not com- pleted. This can he very aggravating and unhealthy for the students who arc trying to please their parents by getting good grades and earning money for college at the same time. Teachers seem to think that their particular assignment should take priority over everything else, whatever it he work, church, or tests in other classes. It is no wonder students borrow assign- ments every now and then! I have not yet found a sympathetic teacher to such cir- cumstances. Talking about politics, I'm not too good, but I can say that if a president wants to go another term, he may. 1 think he could go another term, as many as he wants to go out to he a president. First of all, he is not going to reelect himself, and he is not go- ing to say to anybody that you have to vote for him. because this is a FREE GOUN- IR) '. you can do w hatever you want to do. If you don't want to vote for him, you just don't do it: vou will vote for the other FA MI I. V LIFE by John Sa turley i, haven't really given it n I guqss I'll make a pretty good far her one thought though; but I guess that if my parents can do it. I'll be capable of it c aniliilate. You have the choice in your hands.'! Mv parents have done a pretty good job of raising my brothers and me, least they’d like to think so.
