Williamsport High School students think the voting age should stay where it is, and they do not want to enter into politics, and they think that politicians are as honest as anybody else.

These opinions were revealed in a cross-section poll in a series of Institute of Student Opinion surveys sponsored by Scholastic Magazine.

Three questions were asked: “Do you think the voting age should be lowered to 18?”

“In choosing possible careers for yourself would you choose politics?”

The third was five statements concerning the characteristics of people in politics from which the student was asked to choose one.

Of the students participating in the poll, 92 thought the voting age should be lowered to 18. 119 thought it should not be. One even ventured to say that he thought it should be raised. There were four students who had no opinion.

The question brought mostly the same reply. Seventeen of the 213 would choose politics as a career, 183 would not.

The third question as mention before, consisted of five questions of which the students were asked to choose one. The students were asked indirectly if they thought politicians were corrupt and out for easy money, or moral integrity was a high as anyone else.

The majority of the students (85 out of 203) voted for the idea that politicians were as honest as anyone else.
