This year Kentucky followed suit. During and since World War II, agitation to ex-tend suffrage down to the 18- year-old age bracket has contin-ued at both the state and na-tional levels. The right to regu-late voting age requirements is, however, a state perogative, and nothing short of a federal con-stitutional amendment can change this. Therefore, it would seem likely that future demands for a lowered voting age will be directed at individual state leg-islatures. To gather collegiate opinion on this issue Associated Colleg-iate Press asked the following questions of a representative na-tional cross-section of college students: Foreign Students Present Program The International Relations Club met last Wednesday, Nov-ember 7, in Brown Hall Lounge. The meeting centered around a foreign student panel, with Dr. Noblitt giving a few remarks at the close of the program. In many cases, students feel 18-year-olds should not have the vote because they are immature and inexperienced. Here's the way a sophomore at MSTC puts it: "The years between 18 and 21 are years of great maturing for the average youth." Many students feel that 18- year-olds are still under the in-fluence of parents, and haven't been out in the world on their own enough to form sound judg-ments. Others believe 18-year-olds are just not interested in politics. A University of Nebras-ka junior has this reason for refusing suffrage to 18-year-olds; he says: "Not with Elvis Presley available as a write-in candi-date." "If he is qualified to serve his country he is qualified to vote" has, of course, been a strong ar-gument since World War II. But a surprisingly large number of students feel 18-year-olds are just as prepared, or in some cases better prepared, to vote intelligently because they are still receiving their formal edu-cation. The thoughtful opinion of a small nucleus of students is echo-ed by a California freshman who says: "I don't feel that the age difference has any relation to the judgment of the individual." A Michigan State senior feels that age should not be the basis for voting, but mental maturity, which could come at any age. In general, the issue can be summed up in the statement of a Christian College freshman coed: "It depends upon the in-dividual." African Art Shown Thirty-five pieces of African sculpture representing a total value of $5,350 were placed on exhibit Thursday by the Concordia art department. Loaned by the Segy Gallery of New York, the exhibit includes ritualistic and symbolic cups, statues and bracelets. The exhibit scheduled to show until November 21, is on view to students and the general public in the reading room of Berg Art Center. The room is open from 9 a. m. to 5 p. m.

Israeli View On Mid-East Crisis Cited By Leaders (Editor's Note: The following is a joint statement released to papers by National Jewish Or-ganizations. There was no state-ment available from the Arab viewpoint.) "The conflict in the Middle East is not simply between Egypt and Israel, but between democracy and an expansionist dictatorship, between the free world and Nasserism backed by Moscow. "The Middle East has been plunged into turmoil by the Egyptian dictator's ambitions for aggrandizement and empire. Un-der his leadership Egypt has vol-untarily opened itself and the whole Middle East to Soviet penetration and Communist sub-version. He has incited nation against nation, peoples against peoples. "The evil spirit which moti-vates him revealed itself in all its malice when he told the American people 'may you choke to death on your fury/ "Evenli have demonstrated Nasser's implacable hostility to the Western democracies. Events also have demonstrated the basic idsntity of interest of Israel and the free world. It is in our own national interest to recognize this truth and to act upon it. "We therefore call upon our government to shape its policies and chart its course in the light of these facts and this challenge. We pray that the traditional moral stature of our country may be sustained in this solemn hour."
