Mary Burrows (R Eugene), a sponsor of the bill, explained in a Friday news conference that the present “legal limbo” is the result of past Oregon legislatures granting “18 year-olds partial statutory privileges and obligations.” Currently 18-year-olds can vote, enter into contracts and serve on juries, she said. p=TYPING=| Typing & easy shorthand Monday thru Friday Two courses in one $25 per month Night courses also available Adapt to any schedule Eugene Business College 383 E. 11th 345-3413 You'll increase vour reading speed on the spot! • Actually participate in techniques that will increase your reading and study speed on the spot. • Learn how you can cut your study time in half • Learn how you can comprehend and remember more. • Learn why over half a million people have taken the Read ing Dynamics course.

Subscription rates: (tl University of Oregon student and faculty staff subscription rates are based on annual contracts between the Emerald and the - —i—t- — — a-ij-xo -ii-_r,nj-u-u-i_rL-u-\j-TrLj-_--_ ASUO and the Emerald and Ml* University administration. The rat* of these subscriptions is approximately U.N per year. (II) Special subscriptions tor persons not included in category (I) are available at a rate of $10.00 per year. $9.00 per academic year and S3.SO per term. Bill Bucy Al Phelps Editor General Manager Burrows explained that the practical effect of the bill, HB 3167, “is to grant 18-year-olds the same rights that adults now enjoy.” This would include giving 18-year-olds the right to buy and drink alcohol, form corporations, marry without parental consent and obtain licenses for professions such as attorney, doctor, dentist and public ac countant. Though a similar bill, SB 27, has been introduced in the Senate, ASUO President Bill Wyatt said young persons in terested in the issue saw a need for the House bill “because SB 27 has received less than en thusiastic support and con sideration in the Senate.” Wyatt said, “We feel there is support in the House which will hopefully spill over to the Senate.” He observed tnat ine recent action of the Washington legislature lowering that state’s drinking age to 19 years should help similar legislation in Oregon. Rep. Stephen Kaffoury (D Portland), another sponsor of the House bill, said that Oregon citizens won’t want young per sons going across the state border to drink. Kafoury, who chairs the Alcohol and Drugs committee, indicated that hearings on HB 3167 and SB 27 will be combined at an April 12 committee meeting. Any University student wishing to testify April 12 should contact the ASUO legislative coor dinators office in 309 EMU, Wyatt said.
