of young voters on his re-election
"an unknown."
"My own analysis," Smit says,
"is that the student body as a
whole" is more concerned with
the quality of government serv-
ices than their cost.
"Many people have misinter-
preted this to believe that there
i5 going to be strong support for
a Democratic candidate but I
find that the student body is not
looking at me as a Republican
or somebody else asa Democrat
but they're looking at the indi-
viduals and the kinds of issues
they support," he says.
Smith discounts any threat to
his bid for re-election from the
Human Rights Party, which or-
ganized last year to provide a
left-wing alternative to the two
parties.

"I don't see such a tremend-
ous bloc of students that is going
to carry into the Human Rights
Party," he says. "The history of
third parties has not been very
successful, having little effect on
the final outcome of elections.
Many voters are apprehensive
over losing the power of their
vote if they throw it in the hands
of a losing candidate."
Smith stresses his involvement
with environmental issues. An
active backer of water and air
pollution control legislation, he
warns of a build-up of reaction
against environmental legisla-
tion.
"The state of the economy
causes the citizenry at large to
ask the question of whether we
can afford to lose jobs at the
expense of improving the en-
vironment. The business com-
munity is now lobbying aggres-
sively with some success against
this type of legislation," he says.
Smit, who has introduced legis-
lation aimed at strengthening the
state's air pollution program,

reform issue, Bursley says,
"young people are able to throw
their weight around" for the
first time.
He has supported and intro-
duced several bills for abortion
reform during the past several
years.
Since the bills have been de-
feated, abortion reform advo-
-cates are now conducting a
state-wide petition drive to place
the issue on the November bal-
lot. According to Bursley,
though 214,000 signatures of
registered voters are legally
needed, the drive aims for 250,-
000 signatures due to the usual
amount of invalid signatures.
He estimates that about 80,-
000 more signatures are needed
by early March.-Bursley is op-
timistic that the voters will ap-
prove the abortion referendum.
On the women's movement,
Bursley expresses cautious sup-
port, which falls short, however,
of sympathy with what he terms
"the extremist suggestions that
the more ardent women's lib
supporters make."
However, Bursley concedes
the women's movement has "fo-
cused our attention on the need
for equal opportunities for em-
ployment in certain kinds of
careers."
On another controversial is-
sue - liberalization of drug
laws - Bursley cites his sup-
port for the recent bill which
reduce penalties for possession
of marijuana and reclassifies
some drugs.
"But I don't think I would
favor legalization of marijuana
at this point," he says.
"I don't think we've entirely
resolved the question of how
harmful these drugs are, just
what the medical side-effects
are," he says: "I don't think the
argument that since alcohol,
maybe our most dangerous
drug, is legal that marijuana
should be also. But if you did
legalize it, taxing it like ciga-
rettes, I suppose it would pro-
vide a lot of revenue for the
state."
Bursley, chairman of the Sen-
ate Education Committee, op-
poses mandatory cross-district
busing to achieve racial integra-
tion in the schools,"but has no
objection to voluntary plans.

it works but we're sure not go-
ing to find out by not doing it."
Even the candidates who many
think are least likely to woo the
vote of the young are waging
intensive efforts.
Mike Daniels, George Wal-
lace's 27-year-old youth coordi-
nator, is extremely confident
that youth are responding with
fervor to his candidate.
Daniels maintains that the Al-
abama governor has been well
received on college campuses,
noting that the candidate's posi-
tion on the war in Vietnam may
be among the most enticing.
In Florida, where Wallace is
considered the front runner for
the Democratic p r i m a r y in
March, Daniels attributes his
good position largely to his pop-
ularity among youth.
Not to be outdone by anyone,
President Nixon has set up one
of the most elaborate and so-
phisticated youth campaigns.
A young 12-member paid staff
has compiled detailed computer-
ized analysis of young voters.
Banking on the fact that only
one out of five new voters is a
college student, Nixon's forces
will aim for non-college youth,
emphasizing more low-key is-
sues such as taxes, interest rates
and crime.

ing the youth vote in different
ways.
George McGovern, for example,
is concentrating on college cam-
puses. Youth coordinator Ed O'-
Donnell freely admits that Mc-
Govern's forces expect college
youth to vote in significantly
larger proportions than work-
ing youth: McGovern has al-
ready picked up 600 endorse-
ments from college student gov-
ernment presidents and student
newspaper editors.
John Lindsay, who is vying
for a young constituency similar
to McGovern's, demonstrated
considerable strength this week
in Arizona, where student sup-
port gave him a surprising sec-
ond place finish in the choice
of Democratic precinct delegates.
If youth is to have a notice-
able impact on the national elec-
tions, it may well come in sena-
torial congressional campaigns.
Large college town concentra-
tions of student voters make a
number of Republican congress-
men susceptible to a large po-
tentially liberal youth vote.
Ann Arbor is a case in point.
Rap. Marvin Esch (R-Ann Ar-
bor) won re-election in 1970 by
a 36.000 vote margin. In Novem-
ber. he must face the prospects
of more than 40,000 potential
new voters.
Esch's position, however, is not
nearly as precarious as that of
another congressman in a Big
Ten district. Rep. Earl Land-
grebe (R-Ind.), who won 1970
re-election by a thin 1,200 vote
inargin, must now contend with
30:000 newly enfranchcised Pur-
due University voters.
And Landgrebe's ability to at-
tract the youth vote is question-
able at best. When a loyal aide
was asked whether his man was
conservative, the response was
"Conservative, hell! Landgrebe
is to the right of Attila the
Hun !"
What this year's national elec-
tions may best indicate about
the enigmatic youth vote is just
how many young people are in-
terested in voting.
And this may just have more
interest than the question of
whether the youth impact will
allow a Muskie to edge out Nixon
or whet-er a handful of liberals
grab some conservative congres-
sional seats in November.

MERCHANDISE ON SALE FROM SELECTED GROUPS OF OUR
with the Iris Bell Adventure
People are not just the cause
of the population problem
They're also the victims.
Traffic jams. Overcrowded
schools. Inadequate housing.
Increasing unemployment.
Pollution. Almost any urban,
social and environmental
problem you can name is fast
becoming a nightmare.
And in one way or another
affects us all.
Of course, these problems
would still exist even if popula
tion growth were zero, because
population growth is not their
basic cause. Therefore solving
them must obviously become
society's number one priority.
However, the pressures of an
ever-increasing population tend
to intensify our problems. And
make them harder to solve.
(By the year 2000, Census
Bureau projections estimate
our population could grow close
to 300 million. That's about 100
million more people to house,
transport, educate, feed and
clean up after!)
This intensifying of problems
by sheer numbers of people can
also occur in individual house-
holds. For just as "too many
people" make society's problems
more difficult to solve, the
problems of raising a family
are not made easier when there
are "too many children."
Under the circumstances, we

There's also only one time to
have that child: when it's
wanted. When it can be a
welcome addition rather than
an accidental burden.
Unfortunately, research has
consistently shown that not
enough Americans (from every
walk of life) are aware of the
benefits of family planning.
Or even how to go about it.
That's what we're all about.
And frankly, we can use all
the help we can get.
Especially from thoughtful
people who understand how
unplanned pregnancies can
intensify the already severe
problems society has still
to solve.
People who will, at the very
least, help others understand
that the population problem not
only has a ca ute. It has victimis.
