"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. For the Student Body: SALE * Jeans 9 Bells "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, See SMIT, Page 10 (Continued from Page 1) 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. of new Yo1 (Continued from Page 1)j 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.

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.

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 A 4 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. .4 * I
