By Milo Dr ussa i William F. Buckley Jr., noted conservative columnist and political commentator, spoke here in San Jose last · Wednesday. Covering such varied fields as the 18 year · old - vote, local education, Richard Nixon, and the recent situation in the United Nations, Buckley engaged student reporters at the Hyatt House Regency Room. When questioned about the educational vouc~er program Buckley said, "I am very much in favor of it." Buckley continued 1 " I am in favor of attempting to give people who use a public school the same advantageS that are had by people who use private schools. To the extent that this can be done we would have in my judgment, the ideal situation and one in which there would be a diversity of approac hes , educatio nal approac hes, standards, achievements." " I' ve al ways assume d that the presumptive case is the case in favor of the individua ls not having to suffer in virtue of the fact that he elects or needs to elect to patronize a public school. So as you individualize the public schools you are, I think, giving them the same advantages that are now exercized only by the rich." Replying to a question about his feelings on the 18 year old vote, Buckley stated that he feels the action taken by Congres s "was pretty clearly unconstitut ional." Continuing, Buckley said that he didn' t feel that it was a positive evil that 18 year olds should vote, but that he never had been convinced that the 18 year old of
tOday could be compared with the 18 year of two - hundred years ago, because the young people of that time seemed to have a much more general outlook. Buckley mentioned that the effect of the enfranchising of twenty - seven milJion more young people could swing either way in the next election. Figures
