'Foreign Aid Paid For In Blood'

Educators Condemn New Draft Regulations

NEW YORK (AP) -- Educators at several large universities say the abolition of draft deferments for most
graduate students could threaten research, reduce the
supply of future teachers and cripple graduate school
enrollments.
Some administrators denounced the new policy as
d
and several said other systems of drafting
from the affected group could have cushioned the
impact.
They spoke out Friday after the Johnson administration abolished graduate draft deferments except for
medical and dental students, students in related fields

Sthool, has said that new Selective Service regulations

aitd those who will have completed two or more
years of their studies by June.
At the same time the National Security Council suspended indefinitely the official list of essential activities and critical occupations that Selective Service
tlraft lxards have used as a guideline in making occupational deferments.
Administration officials estimated that 150,000 or
more men would be drafted as the result of the changes
in graduate deferments.
Logan Wilson, president of the American Council
on Education, the leading association of colleges and

universities, said of the change, "In my judgement
this is a short sighted decision.
"In addition to the handicaps it places on advanced
level education, its implications for the long-rang- e
trained manpower needs of the nation are alarming.
"The decision means that most college graduates in
1968 and students ending their first year of graduate
school in 1968 will be drafted in the near future,"
Mr. Wilson said.

"This means that our graduate schools in the future
will be increasingly populated by women, older persons, those who have physical disabilities and, ironically enough, foreign students," declared Maurice Mitchell, chancellor of the University of Denver.
"U.S. draft boards are turning over educational
facilities in this country to foreign students while our
boys go off to fight,' Dr. Mitchell said. "This seems
to me to be foreign aid paid for in blood."

Harvard President Nathan Pusey said the decision
"threatens the country with an inordinate reduction in
the first two years of graduate student enrollment"
and said it "cannot fail to have unfortunate consequences in the future by interrupting the flow of
college and university teachers and research workers
at a tims when the need for them is accelerating."
Robert H. Baker, dean of Northwestern University's
graduate school, said, "a significant portion of future
teachers and researchers will be siphoned off which

will have profound implications to the country as a
whole."
"The limitations of this ruling and other policies is
that they may lead very shortly to a shortage of trained
people in diverse fields, especially teaching," said Dean
Colin S. Pittendrigh of the Princeton University graduate school.
"The Defense Department may be dissatisfied with
its new group of recruits. They're going to have a
group of older men, primarily intellectuals, who are
not the most useful kind of troops," he said.
Several administrators said their schools would be
hurt financially as well as academically by the change.
"The financial consequences could be catastrophic
for Georgetown, for almost no reduction in operating
costs will be possible," declared the Rev. Thomas R.
Fitgerald, academic vice president of that university in Washington, D.C.
Dr. Baker said Northwestern would have financial
problems next year because "commitments of space
and faculty for the graduate school would not be olfset
by enrollment income."
A number of educators, including Yale President
Kingman Brewster, said they believed there should be
no student deferments and the nation should employ
a system of random selection for the draft.
"It would be better to eliminate all deferments and
to draft by lot across all years of students' careers,

Who Will Il Called? Who Will Be

Some Questions And Answers On The Draft
The Associated

Fret

Perhaps no subject is of more
immediate concern to college men
today than the draft.
Faced with the prospect of
death or injury in a war whose
virtue seems obscure or nonexis- tent to them, many students explore every loophole of Selective
Service regulations and some
actively defy draft laws at great
risk.
Blood has been spilled, prison
terms meted out, fines assessed
all as repressive measures against
the most rebellious element, those
w ho will not serve in the Vietnam
war under any conditions.
Most, of course, will follow
the decision of their draft boards,
serving if they must, escaping if
they can.
But draft calls are climbing
again as the armed services face
the task of replacing the two-yemen drafted at the start
of the Vietnam build-u- p
in late
1965 and early 1966.
Who is being drafted now,
how many draftees go to Vietnam, who is being deferred? The
answer to these and other questions appear below and come from
Selective Service headquarters
and the Department of Defense.
The material was assembled by
the Associated Press.

Q. Precisely who is being
drafted now what age?
A. Most inductees are between
20 and 21. In recent months,
the average age has been 20'2.
But special, individual circumstances have meant the induct-- ,
ion of much older men.
Q. Is marriage or fatherhood
ground for deferment?
A. Neither is ground for deferment without further qualification. If a man maintains a bona-fid- e
family relationship with a
child or children he has ground
for deferment whether or not he
is actually their father. As for
marriage, it is frequently a factor in deferment on grounds of
hardship.
Q. What are the ground rules
for student deferments?
A. The law provides that anyone "satisfactorily pursuing a
e
course of instruction at
a high school or similar institution of learning" shall be deferred until he graduates or
reaches age 20, whichever is
earlier. Regulations permit the

studies.
Q. What docs "satisfactorily
pursuing his studies" mean?
A. He must be steadily earning credits toward obtaining his
degree in normal time.
Q. Arc students being drafted
out of college?
A. Dropouts, including those
who have failed to earn their
credits, may be drafted but we
are not taking satisfactory students out of college.
Q. What constitutes a hardship case and how is it handled?
A. The regulations provide for
deferment for "any registrant
whose induction into the armed
forces would result in extreme
hardship to his wife, divorced
wife, child, parent, grandparent,
brother, or sister who is dependent on him for support, or to
a person under 18 years of age
or a person of any age who
is physically or mentally handi-- .
capped whose support the registrant has assumed in good faith."
The term "extreme hardship" is
not defined.
Q. How big arc draft calls expected to be in 1968?
A. We are not in a position at
this time to comment on the outlook for the next fiscal year but
calls so far this year totaled

34,000 for

January,

23,300 for Feb-

ruary and 39,000 for March.
Q. How does this compare
with last year?
A. For the first half of 1967,
the calls were at a relatively
low level, averaging about 15,000
per month. In the last six months
of 1967, the average rose to alout
22,000 a month.
Q. Will the calls balloon when
it becomes necessary to replace
the two-yemen rushed into
uniform at the beginning of the
Vietnam build-up- ?
A. With the Army now in the
midst of a major replacement
cycle for draftees originally inducted in the calendar year
1966, we can expect a relatively
high level of draft calls to be required through June. Beyond
that it is difficult to project because of variations in enlistment and
and because planned military force
levels also affect draft calls.
Q. When is a boy supposed to
register for the draft?
A. Within five days after he
reaches 18.
Q. Where must he register?
A. A local draft board or special registrar.
Q. What happens if he fails to
register in the specified time?
A. He is subject to possible
delinquency
proceeding which
could result in his classification
as
and his being put on a
priority list for induction. In an
extreme case, he may be prosecuted by the Justice Department and face prison and fine.

Q. What actually happens
when a boy registers?
A. He goes to the local Ixnud
or special registrar and signs
his name in a register. A clerk
prepares a registration form.
The lxy signs it. This fulfills his
legal obligation to register.
Q. What happens next?
A. Either immediately or, under unusual circumstances, within the next few weeks the registrant fills out a questionnaire
with information affecting his
draft status.
Q. When does he get his classification?
A. As soon as his draft Iward
meets after it receives his questionnaire and any other pertinent evidence he may wish to
submit. In a simple case, he
would be classified about a
month after registration. A complicated case could take longer.
Q. Does being ordered to take
a physical examination mean
that induction is near?
A. Generally, yes. It is usually
given about 60 days before prol-ablinduction.
Q. How does a boy appeal a
classification he disagrees with?
A. His notice of classification
tells him that he may notify his
local board in writing that he
desires to appeal.
Q. How docs joining a reserve

A. All members of the military components of the reserve
are deferred from the draft it-

NASA P rograms Also On The Wane

Defense-FundeBy WALTER GRANT

WASHINGTON (CPS) -Troubles may be just beginning
for university graduate students
and professors who depend on
the Defense Department and the

space agency for fellowships and
funding of research projects.
The Federal Government's
budget problems have forced
both the Pentagon and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration to reduce support
to universities during the current
fiscal year. And the outlook for
fiscal 1969 is not much brighter.
Although some universities
are already feeling the pinch,
most will not feel the full impact
of the decrease in financial support until April or May, according to an official in the Pentagon's office of research and engineering.
The budget cuts are having
a wide variety of effects on universities. Some graduate schools
may be forced to accept fewer

year."
Bostick, who is something of
a novelty on the Morehead campus with his
blond hair, encountered at least
one unpleasant incident while

circulating the petition.

That occurred in the student
grill when he became involved
in a heated discussion with some
service veterans about the war
in Vietnam.
A large group of students
crowded
and some
around,
started shouting "Cut his hair"

and "Kill the
tard!"

he says, he has

had no problems with the students. But he said he is planning to get his hair cut "for
the sake of the movement."
Bostick has had trouble with
the school's housing system. He
moved from one dorm to another
over the weekend because of what
he called "repressive measures"
in the first one.
He said he continually has
been fined 25 cents during room
checks for having an antiwar
poster on the wall of his room.
He moved out of that dorm,
and when he went back the next
day to get his mail, he was told
that the dorm had been declared
to him by the dormioff-limi-ts

tory director.
He said he went in anyway,
though.
Bostick said plans for the future atMorehead include handing
out leaflets and working for an
open forum for students in the
campus newspaper.
"But we're trying to work on
one thing at a time," he said.

Draft Rule Condemned
Continued from Tare One
undergraduate and graduate,"
said James M. Moudy, chancellor of Texas Christian University in Fort Worth.
"It would have been preferable . . . had the decision been
to select a portion of the required numbers from each of
the seven age groups from 19
through 26," said Harvard's Dr.
Pusey.
Graduate schools have been
worrying about the drought of
deferments since
Johnson signed the 1967 Selective Service Act nearly eight
months ago.
The act provides for deferments only for graduate students in "medicine, dentistry,
veterinary medicine, osteopathy
or optometry, or in such other
subjects necessary to the maintenance of the national health,
safety, or interest as are identified by the director of Selective
Service upon the advice of the
National Security Council."
Graduate students for the

ooo l

ministry are exempted without
regard to the council's views.
The effect of the suspension
of the lists of essential activities and critical occupations on
persons with occupational deferments was not immediately
clear.
Lt. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey,
national director of the Selective Service System, noted in a
telegram to all state draft directors that local boards would
retain "discretion to grant, in
individual cases, occupational
deferments based on a showing of essential
community
need."
The security council made no
mention of changing rules for
deferring students seeking baccalaureate degrees.
The graduate student change
applies to incoming und first-yegraduate students. There
are an estimated 400,000 male
students receiving their bachelor's degrees this year and an
estimated
100,000 first year
graduate students.

There's certain campus talk that claims
individuality is dead in the business world.
That big business is a big brother destroying initiative.
But freedom of thought and action, when
backed with reason and conviction's courage, will keep and nurture individuality
whatever the scene: in the arts, the sciences,
and in business.
Scoffers to the contrary, the red corpuscles of individuality pay off. No mistake.
Encouraging individuality rather than
suppressing it is policy in a business like
Western Electric where we make and pro

vide things Bell telephone companies need.
Because communications are changing fast,
these needs are great and diverse.
Being involved with a system that helps
keep people in touch, lets doctors send cardiograms across country for quick analysis,
helps transmit news instantly, is demanding. Demanding of individuals.
If your ambition is strong and your abilities commensurate, you'll never be truly
bappy with the status quo. You'll seek
ways to change it and -- wonderful feeling! -some of them will work.
Could be at Western Electric.

The ( Campus Mock Election Comes Of Afje

College 'Primary' Could Be The 2nd Largest

By PHIL SEMAS .
WASHINGTON (CPS)
In
any flection year there are always numerous mock primaries
and elections on college campuses.
In 1968 these individual local
primaries will be pushed into the
background by Choice '68, a national primary to be held April
24 on more than 1,000 college
campuses. The organizers of the
primary say they already have
1,100 schools with
million students signed up to
participate, including almost all
of the large schools. They hope
to have at least 1,500,
