Continued study of the Student Center Board's newly proposed
constitution prevented a deciding vote Tuesday night, and the
document was tabled until next week.
More revisions are needed in
the body and the bylaws of the
constitution before a vote is
taken, Susan Pillans, Center
Board president said. A vote
is expected to be taken next
week.
Miss Pillans explained the
week-lon- g
period also was necessary for a review of the document which was introduced
Tuesday for the first time. "We
want all the Board members
to understand it fully," Miss
Pillans said.
The Board decided to revise
their old constitution when a

two weeks ago.

Acting Dean of Men Jack
Hall announced that any fraternity wanting to have its house
open during the summer session
will be required to have a housemother and an officer present.
This pertains to fraternities only

then becomes their responsibility.
In this case Dean Hall said no

it's difficult to do more than drop

Better Determination
Hit

American Civil Liberties
Union this week proposed amotion
to establish exemptions from the
draft for
who are opto war on moral, social, and
posed
philosophical grounds, and whoop-pos- e
a particular war for any of
these reasons. A person may
presently qualify as a conscientious
objector, if he is able to prove that
he objects to all war, at any place
and time, on the basis of a religious
non-pacifis- ts

behef.

This at tern; at a major revision
the philos.ooh of conscientious
objection ma very well have been
prompted by the liberal Supreme
Court decision in the Seeger case
in
when the curt stated that
it w as not necessary for a person to
believe in a traditional suprerrje
being in order 'to qualify as a religious objector to war. Unfortunately, the ACLU fails to realize
that, while the courts' attitude
toward the intention of the conscientious objection law may be
becoming much more liberal others
are not. The Selective Service System, and primarily the local draft
boards, which are the determiners
of whether an individual qualifies
as a conscientious objector, do not
share such a position.

The selective service has adequately demonstrated its conservative attitude toward conscientious
objection in its action against the
demonstrators. Its
Ann Arbor sit-iattempts to reclassify the demonstrators shows that the System does
not yet agree that political, social
and moral opposition to war qualify
a person as an objector under the
intention of the law.
Thus, a lengthy and expensive
court battle will have to be fought

or that a particular war is morally

The conscientious objection
originally established to allow-anperson, w ho felt that he had a
personal obligation not to kill
another human being, to exercise
his constitutional right not to be
forced by the government to do so.
The restriction that he must believe
in a supreme being essentially
means that conscientious opposition to war requires a belief that

However, the recent Supreme
Court decision illustrates that this
philosophy has become outdated,
and interprets "religious belief to
be any ordered pattern of action on
the part of the individual that
guides his life. This interpretation
would seem to pertain as well to
those w ho base their actions on the
principle that it is morally or
socially wrong for either an individual or a government to wantonly
take others' lives.
The real crime lies in the fact
that the draft boards have failed to
realize tliat a
of their
philosophy is necessary. Until this
takes place, perhaps
the only solution would be to take

Bill Of Rights May Insure Charter Vote

By WALTER GRANT

A clause In the Hill of Nights

the validity of voting on Kentucky's proposed new constitution in the November general
election.
Defense of the proposed charter became necessary Tuesday

in Franklin Circuit Court to test
