Although a bill lowering the age of majority in Kansas from 21 to 18 was recently signed into law by Gov. Robert Docking, the law will have no profound effect on oldfathers. Oldfather, University attorney,
The bill lowers the buying for everything but the buying and drinking of liquor. Oldfather said Monday that, because they will
be considered adults 18, 19,
30-year-olds will not need
parental consent to do some
things they couldn't do before.
Oldfather said that this bill was "consistent with some aspects of the changing times."
When students get to be this age, he said, they consider themselves adults, and, it should be that they should be given adult rights.
According to the agenda there will actually be two meetings, one by each body of senators.

MIKE ELWELL, Douglas County attorney, said Tuesday that the bill would have no effect on future criminal prosecutions. The dividing line for adults in criminal cases is already set at 18.
Elwell said the bill simply conformed the adult division line for civil cases to that already established for criminal cases. The bill, introduced by the Senate committee, will go into effect July 1.

Why doesn't General Electric talk about thermal pollution when they talk about nuclear power plants?
General Electric has been talking nuclear power plants ever since we pioneered them in the fifties. And we think they can help solve America's energy problems in the 70's and 80's. But they're also aware that nuclear
power has problems of its own. Problems worth talking about. Like the environment. Actually, we felt one of the greatest advantages of nuclear power was environ- mental.
Unlike fossil-fueled power plants, there is no smoke to nodule the air.
there is no smoke to pollute the air.
But like fossil-fueled plants, there
is warmed water released to sur-
rounding waterways.
Cooling it.
We recognize thermal pollution as a serious problem. And GE and America's utilities are working on thermal problems at nuclear sites on a plant-by-plant basis.
Many people don't realize, for example, that utilities are required by federal law to design and build in temperature limits prescribed by the states.
So utilities are spending millions of dollars on dilution control systems, cooling towers and cooling towers to comply.
But, in addition, utilities are sponsoring basic research on heat exchange and its $ e^{r} $
Good effects:
It's been found, in some cases, adding heat to water can actually be beneficial. Warm irrigation water has extended habitat conditions.
Warm water has created new wintering ponds along water-fowl migration routes. Florida is using it to grow shrimp and lobster. In Texas, it's increasing the weight of
fact on aquatic life. More than 97 utilities have been financially involved in over 300 such studies.
Good effects?
Listing these benefits is not to beg the plants, because they remain a tough problem to solve at many sites. Each plant must be considered individually, in its own environment, and this is being done.
Work to be done.
General Electric, the utilities and environmentalists will continue to work hard. Because we think the ad campaign is more effective far outweigh the disadvantages.
Why are we running this...
It's one of a series on the problems of man and his environment today. And artificial technology is helping to solve them.
The problems of our environment (not just nuclear power problems) concern us because they will affect the future of this country and this planet. We have a stake in that future. As businessmen. And, simply, as people.
Why are we running this ad?
If you are concerned too, we'd like to hear from you. Write General Electric, Dept, 901-CN, 570 Lexington Avenue, New York, N.Y. 10022.
