" It doesn't conflict with religion but enhances it." A TM group was estahl.shed on campus in early October last yt-r. It has grown to over 200 student and faculty members. Weekly meetings are available for members v.ith films ad r-n-s Mahanshi. A series of le.tures for th .v.- interested in finding out more about the eroup is being run through the year. 'I he le.tures are tree and involve r.o commitment to begin TM. 'I here are seven .steps m the learning pro. ess. In the first step, the introductory lecture, a teacher discusses TM and its benefits. Then a preparatory lecture introduces the mechanics of "I M. Short interviews with the --tudents are then held. followed by personal instru.tion by the teachers as third and fourth steps.

"One may possibly be taught at a university m North Carolina, either a: L'NC. Duke or Wake Forest." said Michalove. -The value of TM :n terms of education is tremendous." said M:chaloe. "TM expands the container of knowledge. Without this students seem to be trying to put an ocean into a pint bottle, so to speak." TM also integrates fields of learning by taking a student's awareness to the source of knowledge, according to Michalove. "'This is important now because of great specialization today." he said. Benefits also come to the business community, according to Michalove. "One corporation in Germany whose employees have begun TM report they found workers were more efficient, more productive and more content in their work after going through the program."

General Assembly adjourned. As a result, North Carolina became one of the seven states in the country which have declared adulthood for 1 8-year-olds. Michigan, Vermont and Tennessee are the only states which have given all legal rights of adulthood to the 18-year-olds. North Carolina, Washington. Kentucky and New Mexico have given full legal rights, except for the purchase of alcohol. In North Carolina, the battle to lower the age of legal adulthood was almost lost. The fight started the first day the ll71 General Assembly convened. On Jan. 13, Sen. Zeh Alley (D-Hayw'ood) introduced a bill that would grant majority status to anyone 18 years of age or older. This bill was ratified by the Assembly on July 1, and went into etfeet as soon as the 26th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution became law. At that time. Alley introduced an omnibus bill that would straigthen out the N.C. General Statutes dealing with age as a qualification. This bill was then referred to the Senate Committee on Courts and Judicial Districts. At this stage, the battle took on a new dimension. Sen. Ruffin Bailey (D-Wake) introduced a bill that would strip all rights of adulthood except voting from persons 18 to 21 years of age. Bailey introduced the bill because he felt the passage of the adulthood law "created more problems than any of us realized." However, when the bill first appeared on the Senate floor on July 15, Bailey offered an amendment which would immediately halt the privileges of .elves mere relaxation :.n 15 minutes of Meditation than :r. a full r. gb.t - sleep. "TM has some extreme ph si ologoca! implications that are very sxnigicant. according :o the medical journals. "" ?a:d Michalove. "Some doctors are referring some of their patients :o begin TM " TM has also beer, reported to brmg relief from msomnua. migraine headaches and psychosomatic ailments. An introductory lecture was held Wednesday. Sept. !. m the Great Hall cf the Student Union at S p.m. A second preparatory lecture will be held Sept. I" m Gerrard Hall at S p.m. followed by another introductory lecture m Gerrard at 8 p.m. Sept. 2U and a ecor.d preparatory lecture October 15. Instruction will begin Sept. 1 and O.:. 16 for those wishing to join the program. Three things are required to begin instruction, according to Mi.haloe. first, there is an obligation of time. "The student must attend all four days of instruction." he said. Second, a contribution of $75 for working adults and S35 for students is asked. The contribution covers a two-year program, with weekly and monthly meetings. Third, anyone using non-prescribed drugs must abstain for at least 15 day prior to their instruction. "This is required for physiological reasons." sid Michalove. means adulthood for 18-year-olds, but would renew them on July 1, 1973. The day before, Bailey had submitted a resolution calling for a legislative research study of the problems associated vsith changes in the age of majority. The resolution called for a report to be made to the 1973 General Assembly. On July 15, the Senate approved Bailey's amendment but delayed its consideration of the over-all bill. On July 16, the bill reappeared on the Senate floor, and was defeated by three votes. With the failure of this bill, the legislators realized they must find a solution to the problem before the Assembly adjourned. So on July 19, Representatives John S. Stevens (D-Buncombe) and Lawrence Davis (D-Forsyth) introduced a second omnibus bill in the House. y. 2 1. -i f 1 1r- v- r A N-LJ i N N 5 An Indian Maharishi 6 get a la wyer The bill cleared the House on July 20. and was then sent to the Senate. Thus the two omnibus bills which could resolve the controversy were both in the Senate. On the final day of the session, the Senate passed the House version, since it prohibited 18-year-olds from buying liquor. Sen. Alley's bill would have prohibited the sale of alcoholic beverages to those under IS r3ther than 21. This would conform with the legal age for buying beer. Basically, the new law means that every place in the state statutes which refers to minors now refers to persons under 1 8 instead of persons under 2 1 . But no one has yet worked out whether and how the law will affect such things as the income tax exemptions for dependents, the definition of dependent in the laws dealing with welfare programs and the statutes concerning guardianships and property or tunds held in trust. The problem in the latter area is basically with written instruments deeds, wills, insurance policies signed before July 5. the day the definition of a minor changed. In general, in caseN where the written document says a person is to receive control of certain monies when he reaches adulthood, the new law would apply. It lhe instrument specifies 21 or another age, the new law probably would not change that age. The law could also affect students in North Carolina public colleges and universities. for instance, since a person is legally an adult at age 18, he could change his residence status if he were from out-of-state, and pay in-state tuition at any North Carolina university.
