Filed in the Ottawa County Circuit Court in Grand Haven, the suit lists Donald and Jacob Anthony of Grand Haven as defendants along with the Bay Mills Indian Community and all other persons who claim by virtue of Indian treaty rights with the United States the right to fish in waters of the State of Michigan without compliance with provisions of the fish and game laws or rules and regulations of the State of Michigan. Paul Leach, MUCC director, said was filed to protect Michigan's waters from being overfished. "we consider fish a resource and we want the court to issue a permanent injunction against random taking of he said. "the Indians now are fishing in Michigan waters without compliance with Michigan fish and game rules." Michigan Indians are allowed unlimited right to hunting and fishing in the state because of an 1854 United States treaty granting them those rights.

NEW YORK (AP) Millions of boys and girls are becoming men and women sooner than ever before in the United States. It is not a biological quirk of nature, but an act of lawmakers. The process is the lowering of the legal age of majoritythat mystical moment when adolescence becomes adulthood -from 21 to 18. There are approximately 11 million 18 20-year-olds in the United States today. Besides the seven states that have declared adulthood for 18-yearolds, four have given that status to 19.

and 20-year-olds, and more than a dozen will take up the issue in upcoming legislative sessions. Being an adult means having the right to sign contracts, get married without parental consent, file lawsuits, be sued, own property, serve on juries and hold public office. Now 18-year-olds can adopt children and get tattooed in North Carolina, place pari mutuel bets at race tracks in New Mexico; claim workmen's compensation and buy and carry a concealed weapon in Michigan with proper permit. DRINKING DIFFERENT But drinking is still one adult privilege most states are reluctant to give the kids. Only five states permit 18-year-olds to purchase liquor, other than wine and beer.

Michigan, Vermont and Tennessee are the only states that have given all legal rights of adulthood to 18-year-olds. (Michigan's 400,000 18-to-21year-olds won't get adult status until Jan. 1, however. Gov. William G.

Milliken signed the bill Wednesday.) North Carolina, Washington, Kentucky and New Mexico allow 18-year-olds all rights except purchase of liquor. New Mexico still requires that a constituent be 21 to serve in its House of Representatives. Maine and Nebraska define the age of legal majority at 20, Montana and Alaska at 19. Nebraska and Montana permit drinking under 21. States that have legislation pending or expect to consider the lowered age of legal majority in 1972 include: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Illinois, Iowa, Kans as, Missouri, New Jersey, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvani South Carolina, and Wisconsin.

LITTLE EVIDENCE So far, there has been little evidence the effect of the new legislation, Montana reported an influx of youth into its 1,600 odd bars and taverns, but in Tennessee, there was no great rush into the few big city bars, and one police officer at Oak Ridge commented that the biggest problem was just getting used to the idea that 18 and 19-year-olds could now buy liquor. In North Carolina officials anticipated problems but decided to watch the effects of the new law for two years until the legislature reconvened in 1973. Already there have been some queries regarding inheritance taxes. The attorney general's office said the best advice they could give young people about their new rights was "get a lawyer." In Michigan, a special commission presented a report to the governor on the effects of the lowered age of majority. The proposal was endorsed by the Bar Association and numerous business groups, which did not forsee any 1 major complications resulting from the new legislation.

If anything, they agreed that it was bound to be for the economy to have 400,000 more installment plan buyers and credit card holders. CONCERN EXPRESSED Some people have expressed concern about 18-year-olds running for political office and winning, especially in those college towns where the 18- year -old vote might most strongly be felt in local elec- tions. New York State legislature determined that giving full legal rights to 18-year-olds would involve changes in 1,437 sections of the New York State law and the plan was dropped as being too complicated. State Sen. John E.

Flynn, a sponsor of five bills regarding certain rights for 18-year-olds argued, "One should realize the full implications of such a step. You need a thorough review of the total impact of exposing 18-year-olds to more than 1,400 changes in the law." cited as an example lowering, the offender" maximum from age 19 of "youthful to 18, thereby exposing the young person's record to the public. BIGGEST, OPPOSITION But it seems the biggest opposition everywhere concerns drinking privileges for 18- year-olds. Legislators argued still school and their that 18-year-olds were many, drinking habits might influence the younger pupils. Others argued thandle 18-year-olds couldn't their liquor as well as adults could.

Re p. Thomas Swayze, speaker of the House in Tacoma, said that lowering the drinking age was the only feature the law that the MSU Offers Expertise 21 High School Bands Sign Up for Clinics Marching bands from 21 Michigan high schools- some 2,000 young musicians will be at Michigan State University shaping up both marching and music for the fall pigskin parade in three weeklong clinics starting Aug. 16.
