Youth rights approved B y Joe N istler Sports E ditor
In a state-wide ca ll-in program last night. Montanans approved of giving 18-year-olds full legal rights, including the right to vote and hold office. By nearly a two-to-one margin. they stated their faith in the maturity of high school seniors and college freshmen to act a responsible po!Hical observers and participants.
Following are some of the comments in favor of the extension of these rights:
• "Most of the 18-year-olds are as responsible as most other Montanans. I! the public doesn't like candidates of this age, they won't vote them into office. "
• "ff they're old enough to die in Vietnam, they should have the right to hold office. J believe if an Incompetent 18-year-old is elected to office, then he later will be voted out by this same age group."
• "They couldn't do any worse a job than some ot our present legislators, who are so senile they can't make decisions wisely.·•
However. there was some rather vehement opposilion to the proposals . Most of this opposition centered on the idea that 18-year-olds do not have

enough experience or knowledge away from their families and high school to act responsibly.
• One teenager stated, "Eighteen-year-olds should have the right to vote, but not to hold office. Some of those radicals might get in. America should remain American. They should go to college at least one year before running for office, because it takes brains to be a legislator."
• An adult further commented, "The only danger in allowing them to hold office is in a college town where college students elect college kids to city government and then raise all the laxes because they don' t have to pay them."
• Another adult, quoting from the Bible, said, "When a nation becomes weak , princes will be ruled by babes."
Bob Campbell, a member of the bill of rights committee of the Constitutional Convention, stated he was in favor of the proposed measure for two reasons: "lf Montanans adopt this law. it will be a first in the nation, similar to when Wyoming gave women the vote in 1869,
"Also. in granting political equality, we are presenting the fir t plank in bridging the generation gap. "
