Description

To Combat Indifference: So that B. H. S. students may be more fully aware of recent events of national and community scope that directly affect them, the Oracle has turned over a section of its spring number to clarifying these issues. We do this with the hope of overcoming am alarming feeling of indifference concerning them. We present two very important pro and con features. The first deals with the issue of compulsory military training for boys and girls of eighteen. It includes six unbiased opinions of student representatives from each class. The second feature concerns the pro and con arguments for lowering the voting age to eighteen. These articles were written by students who have been studying this problem intensively as a part of the debating curriculum. These two comparatively recent national developments directly concern students all over the country. It is essential, therefore, that the many-sided issues involved and their results be thoroughly understood.
