Those Over Age 26
May Receive Call
Many University professional and graduate students who previously felt secure from the draft now have new reason for concern,

concern.

The Selective Service has
ordered
physical
examinations for about 70,000
men between the ages of 26
and 35.
Those given the examination
will be single or married men
with no dependant children and
who are classified as
(available for military service) or
(consciencious objector available
for noncombatant military serA

vice only).

A man's draft liability normally ends at the age of 26,
but if he has been deferred for
any reason, such as to continue
his schooling, which is usually
the case, he is draft eligible
until age 35.
In recent years, deferments
past age 26 meant draft exemption because the Selective Sei- vice has not inducted men from
the older group.

Col. Everett Stephenson, director of the Kentucky Selective
Service, and Dr. Elbert Ocker-maDean of Admissions and

Now, feeling a pinch for manpower, the Selective Selective
Service's recheck could produce
about 50,000 potential draftees.
But officials emphasized there
are no present plans to put any
of these men into uniforms.

In a telephone interview, Col.
Henry L. Bethel of the state
Selective Service Board in Frankfort said the manpower situation
in the past was so that there
was no need to induct those
between the ages 26 to 35.
"Now," he continued, "there
is a probability that they would
be

taken."

Bethel said the call for the
physicals is the
government's way of taking a
"look-see- "
to find which men
will be available if there was
a need for them.
A spokesman for the board
in Washington said 28,153 men
in the previously deferred 25
to 35 bracket have already been
found qualified for service.
In an unpublicized move two
weeks ago, local boards were
ordered to give physicals to the
remaining 41,780 men in this
category.
About 1,100 Kentucky men
will be affected by this order,
a spokesman for the state Selective Service said.
Some will be called in November, he added, and the rest
will be called in the following
months.
Miss Winifred Phillips, Selective Service coordinator for the
Louisville area, said 365 of the
Kentuckians called will be from
Jefferson County, with the remaining 735 from throughout the
state.
Those who pass the physical
will be placed in the fifth priority
category for induction.
Some men in the fourth categorythose married in recent
years during a period of automatic deferment for married
men are now being called.

Students First Concern
Of Plans, Governor Says

Gov. Edward T. Breathitt said
this week the University's first
concern in relocating the football stadium should be the student.
He said the University must
be concerned with getting students to and from the proposed
site regardless

of where

it is

located.
In an interv iew, Breathitt said
the stadium should stay in the
college town.
"I believe the stadium should
stay as close as practical to the
campus," he said.
Breathitt said he has seen it
work where students were transported away from campus to the
stadium by university-furnishetransportation.
But he said he did not feel
it was feasible to leave the stadium at Stoll Field because of
the value of the land for academic
d

purposes.
"I believe the campus planners have said the land is to
valuable to be kept for the stadium," he said. "1 think we need
a new stadium."
Breathitt said now that we
have a chance to build we should
go ahead.
"The stadium is an image
builder for a university," he said.
"But it will be built so as to
not divert funds from academic

needs."
"Funds that will finance a
new stadium will not be the same
ones as funds used for academic
building purposes," Breathitt
said.

"Funds from ticket sales

supporting the football program
should pay for most of the stadium."
He said the University was

Human Rights Group To Survey
Businesses On Job Discrimination
The Campus Committee on Human Rights will
conduct a survey of Lexington and University to
see if discrimination exists.
The decision was made Tuesday night at the
group's second meeting of the year.
Specifically, the committee decided to form
field research teams to take surveys of local and
campus business' records.
The group is seeking to discover if groups
rightly claim they do not discriminate in hiring
while assigning Negroes only to menial tasks.
A member of the committee suggested that
Negro waitresses are not generally seen in Lex

ington while a large percentage of the kitchen
help in many restaurants is Negro.
The CCHR said they felt it is important to
see how far the stereotyped image of the Negro
as maid or porter and only being capable of
maid or porter positions is affecting present-dahiring procedures in Lexington.
"We need more complaints," Mike C.
a field representative of the state Human
Rights Commission, told the group.
Any person w ho feels he. has been discriminated
against because of race, color, creed, or religion
can submit a report to the campus group for

"wise to carefully study the planning with local offic ials and planners before going beyond the
point of no return."
Breathitt said he had no personal preference where the stadium site should be but he said
the site should be changed.
"When I brought the governors up here from the conference
it took almost an hour for us
to get to the stadium for the
game," he said. "That's a bad
situation."
Recently

officials

hinted that the stadium may not
be moved from its present Stoll

Field site if four possible locations under consideration are
found to be unsatisfactory because of traffic conditions and
community planning.
Vice President for Business
Affairs, Robert F. Kerly said "Before we can definitely say the
stadium will be moved, we first
have to find a site that will

work."
Kerley said the final decision
on the site will come in
following a survey of
traffic and student transportation

Perkins, who presented the
bill to the House and has often
had reservations about federal
aid to church schools, said that
"in the area of private school
participation the record is a remarkable one. Congress made
it clear that the law was to
help all educationally deprived
school children regardless of the
school they attend."
Perkins had originally asked
r
for a
extension of the
program, however, in the committee, Republican members and
several Democrats, cut it to two
years. It is also likely that an
effort will be made to cut the
financial authorization, although
final say on this will come from

grade schools and high schools
from the $1,415 billion approved
in 1965 to $1,677.
After the first increase there
would be another the following
year bringing aid to $3,046 billion.
One controversial issue added
in the "Perkins formula" for distributing assistance, is a method
by which poorer states would
receive greater assistance.
By this method, Kentucky
would recieve $21.93 million more
than if all states are treated
alike. This and other factors
would bring Kentucky's allotment to $67,504,941 for the fiscal
year starting in July, 1967.
Another obstacle, wHIcTi has
plagued the House on education
bills before has been the issue
of whether parochial schools
should receive funds.
The bill passed last year
allowed that many benefits, especially in the poverty areas,
should be 'extended to church

Would Go To Prison
Not To Violate Ideals
From Combined Dispatches
Conn-- Lt.
NEW HAVEN,
Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, director of Selective Service, told a
hostile audience of Yale University Law School students Monday

night, that, rather than support
something he found morally impossible, he would go to jail.

Greeted with light hissing on
his arrival, Gen. Hershey made
the statement when asked what
he would do if he were of draft
age and found he would be forced
to perform military acts he "found
morally impossible to support."
Hershey said that his office
has little to do with the country's policies and that students
who object to its policies
"should change the law rather
than hammer the administrator
over his head for doing his duty."

Strangling The Teacher Corps
The Senate's vote to give the
National Teacher Corps $7.5 million is not an appropriation. It
is a liquidation payment.
Some Administration sources,
apparently in order to save face,
have spread the word that this
grant of funds represents a victory
for one of President Johnson's favorite projects. The fact, as Senator Wayne Morse so bluntly stated,
is that it is a rebuff to Mr. Johnson and, more important, a blow
to education in the rural and urban
slums. The amount thus provided
will pay for existing commitments,
mainly the salaries of the 1,250
trainees now attached to schools,
but will not carry the Teacher
Corps beyond the end of the current academic year.
This means that, instead of supporting the corps, the Senate has
given notice that there is to be no

continuity. Financially embarrassed and otherwise harassed by legislative hostility from its inception, the once promising venture is
now prevented from undertaking
the kind of planning and recruiting essential to success. Idealistic
young men and women who might
have committed themselves to this
vital service will turn away from a
plan that is being strangled by

Congress. Surely, if the Peace Corps
had been similarly treated, it
would now be remembered only as
failure.

At this time of the most severe

of desperate need to infuse new

not tainted by pork barrel expenditures. For the moment, the best

LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS

New Approach To Welfare
Features More Local Rule
By Joseph Kraft
WASHINGTON
The congressional debate on
the poverty program this year provides further
evidence of a new approach to public welfare that
is finally coming to supplant the now outworn
philosophy of the New Deal. It also reveals that
in the politics of poverty there is a great gap
between local and national leaders.
The New Deal approach featured centralized
governmental action to help poor people and
communities. Washington developed programs for
insurance, public works, job training, and relief,
insurance, public works, job training and relief.
Funds were shelled out either directly by federal
bureaucrats or indirectly by these bureaucrats
to local officials. The state was the doctor, the
individual the patient and, in some cases, the
victim.
The political advantages of that system, particularly to congressmen, are obvious. It gives
congressmen the maximum opportunity to intervene on behalf of their constituents with appropriate government agencies.
The new approach features direct participation
in the formulation and administration of programs
by groups of local citizens.
To a large extent, moreover, local people have
a voice in running the programs they have chosen.
This local emphasis has an obvious appeal
for local political leaders.
n
The local support includes" not only
Democratic players of welfare politics
well-know-

such as Mayor Daley, but also even some conservative Republicans.
Indeed, because of the
emphasis on decentralization and in line with a
recent article in Life magazine by Hugh Sidey,
the Republican mayor of Tulsa, Okla., J. M.
Hewgley has said of community action that
"this is a Republican program, if we only had
the brains to know it."
But local control leaves Washington politicos
out in the cold, particularly congressmen whose

bread and butter has been intervention with

federal agencies on behalf of constituents. And
the debate on the poverty measure in the House
of Representatives this year has largely turned
on efforts by congressmen of both parties to get
back in the game of welfare politics.
The Republican proposal which has been defeated would have vested most of the programs
now in Sargent Shriver's poverty agency in old-lin- e
departments that are so responsive to congressional pressure. The liberal Democratic bill
approved by the administration also moved to
