With school work, home work, community work, and/or whatever, students do not have the time to read a newspaper, watch television or listen to the radio. All in all, we remain closed up in our little environment called State, unwary of what goes on around us. But if you don't have even the smallest amount of time to listen to the radio, you must stop and ask yourself, what’s going on? Recently, several bills have been brought forward and have been pass- ed. The one that comes to mind first is the legal drinking age. It is currently 19. Many students, being closed off, will not know about this and will in- evitably be caught, especially freshmen. ‘ Speaking of freshmen, how many of you know that Sunday was the first day of freshmen orientation? We’ll continue with that a little later. Under this new law, which goes into effect sometime in October, if you get caught driving under the influence or caught driving while consuming alcohol before you reach the age of 19, you will automatically lose your license until you turn 19.
