New Voter Law Creates Dual Voting Dilemma for College Students
Analysis notes that liberalized 18-year-old voting statutes raise risk of college students voting in both home communities and campus towns. Officials fret about costly cross-jurisdiction checks, while some urge absentee or home-town registration. The piece cites Maryland's Eastern Shore election results and notes a trend toward undeclared or cross-party voting among youth, with broader implications for local referenda.

Costly federal buildings spark a Senate probe
Senate Public Works chair Jennings Randolph plans an inquiry into federal building costs after findings that HUD headquarters cost 38 per sq ft to build while private firms charged 22. The report cites lavish lighting, long elevators, excess fixtures, and inflated budgets. It argues government construction lacks value and seeks savings on thousands of facilities.

Letters Correcting Monocacy Church Location Shift Debate
A reader presents new research asserting the Old Monocacy Log Church built in 1743 stood on the Moser Road site near Thurmont, not on the Monocacy River west bank near Creagerstown. The letter traces historical misstatements, cites Muhlenberg and Diehl sources, and urges preservation of the Moser and Ross Stull farms as central to the church site.
