An appeal to abolish all col­ lege d r a f t deferments and change to a random lottery sys­ tem of drafting 19-year-olds was presented to Congress yesterday by the Council of Graduate Schools in the United States. The council represents major universities in the United States. Its position paper pointed out that the rule barring future draft deferments for graduate students presents serious plan­ ning problems for universities which utilize graduate teaching assistants to teach some fresh­ man courses. DR. WILLIAM J. Burke, dean of the Graduate College here,' voiced the same ideas last week when interviewed by the State Press. Dean Burke expressed thé opinion that the earlier draft ruling, which provided for the granting of 1-A classifications to all students just finishing their first year of graduate study, would disrupt the graduates’ ed­ ucation and would press the graduate student into military sendee at a time when his abil­ ities could be of more value as a civilian. The graduate school council strongly opposed designation of certain subjects through which students would be eligible for deferment. Under die new rul­ ing only graduate students in medical or related fields may be deferred. THE COUNCIL emphasized its acceptance of the belief that m ilitary service is an obligation the lives of those eligible for in­ of every able-bodied citizen. duction, the statem ent said, and “We believe this obligation selection should take place at a should be borne equally by all natural time of transition. citizens and that neither gradu­ Under the present law, stu­ ate nor undergraduate students dents who have been deferred should be deferred or exempt­ to obtain a baccalaureate or ed,” the paper stated. higher degree should not be “We believe that draft-eligible drafted until they have complet­ men should be inducted on the ed their immediate objectives, basis of random selection upon the council statement said. reaching the age of 19.” Last year President Johnson A SYSTEM OF selective ser­ proposed lottery selection of 19vice should create a minimum year-olds, but it was not acted of disruption and uncertainty in on by Congress. Primary Contest Needed In Three Election Races Next Wednesday’s primary election to whittle down the num­ ber of candidates for March 13’s general election will leave few shavings, as only three of the 18 available categories will need the trimming. As the race shapes up, without confirmation on the number of qualifying primary candidates, the most contested student gov­ ernment post will be that of president with five candidates squar­ ing off in the primary. The other two contested offices are administrative vice presiident and architecture senator with one candidate needing to be dropped from the three running for each position. Eleven of the 18 positions will be filled with the qualifying prim ary candidates, unless they face unexpected write-in compe­ tition in the general election. There will be general election but not prim ary races for the offices of AS activities vice president, AWS president, and liberal arts senators where 15 candidates are contesting for 12 seats. ' At press tim e, the names of the qualifying candidates for the prim ary election were not available. Potential candidates wanting information should contact Ilene Lashinsky, Election Board chair­ man, at 2959.

Because, many young adults from 18 to 21 are fa d in g the adults’ war and resent that they have no representation at the polls. Because, many young adults are responsible enough to work in Peace Corps or Vista and resent that they cannot sip the adults’ martipi. Because, young adults receive the same penalties in the courtroom as adults and resent that they cannot sign con­ tracts which are valid in the courtroom. Because, young adults can leave home and resent file double standard that require males have parents’ permis­ sion to m arry and females must live on campus. And finally, because these and sim ilar laws prevent young adults from participating in the most rudimentary aspects of our way of life. Employers cannot or win n of hire persons under 21. Landlords cannot or will not rent to persons under 21. Entertainment establishments cannot or will not cater to persons under 21. Politicians e —wt or will not listen to persons under 21. The three years from 18 to 21 are a twilight zone during which a person is expected to quietly perform the tasks the adult likes the least and abstain from those fn *Hmw he enjoys the most. This inequitable situation causes young adults and a M k to become alienated, distrustful, and to work agam d m i* other. Young adults are not being prepared for the a W t world, but rather are learning to work agahnd it. It is true parents have a right and duty to gni*» and discipline their children. However, the government ha« n right to inherit parental authority and become a *Big Mother’ to its citizens. Either a person is a juvenile parental control or a total adult citizen with all the rigMs of other citizens. If adults are going to entrust the responsibilities cf the future of the nation to young adults, they must aim gran* young adults those freedoms which they are being to guard. To deny these rights is contrary to die ideals of this nation. Improved education and com m unication have produced knowledgable individuals at 18 far superior to tie 21-yearold of the past. To lower the voting age to IS would d—n«n_ strate the adults’ faith and thereby create » y J iu action on the part of young adults. Young adnh« m nwfd legal, constructive outlets for their opinions.

But today, Amerita is making it her business to op­ pose and defeat so-called wars of liberation wherever they break out, and in some cases she has actively supported re­ actionary and unrepresentative regimes in other countries. (Playboy, April 1967, p. 58) PO W ER A PPR O A C H In contrast to the conclusions of those who feel that we can achieve no truly meaningful m ilitary victory in Vietnam, there are the ideas of those who see the whole situation in sim­ plistic power terms. For ex­ ample, in 1965 President John­ son asserted: “There is no human power capable of forcing us from Viet­ nam.” Commenting on this ex­ ample of the “arrogance of pow­ er,” Toynbee (as quoted in the Arizona Republic, 9 May 1965) said: The Présidait manifestly be­ lieves that he is speak in g with Churchill’s voice—the nm w w n of 1940 — but to the ears of people who have suffered from Western domination in tiw pa«» his voice sounds like the k««e r’s and like Hitler’s. ‘There is no h u m an ppwc i capable of forcing os from Vktnam.’ An ancient Greek would have shuddered to hear his leader thus provoking Hi» and the spectacle of over­ whelming American military power will not impress an Eng­ lishman who has lived throifah two world wars an d , fa partic­ ular, through the years 1911 and 1941.

If I were a South Vietnamese guerrilla fighter today, I should remember 1940 and con­ tinue audaciously to resist the mighty United States. The president of Continental Airlines is Satan in disguise. And toe archangel Michael wiD be elected president of the United States in 1976. THESE ARE two of God’s re­ cent statements and predictions, as relayed to us by Larry Klein of Chicago. Airline proxy Robert F. Six is the leader of the 77 fallen angels currently piloting flying sauc­ ers. He and Defense Secretary Robert McNamara, another of Satan’s disciples, conspired to m u r d e r President Kennedy, K irin says. . Each of these evil characters has murdered a man and com­ mandeered his body to pilot a saucer. Each saucer has a crew of humanoids — devil souls lock­ ed in the murdered bodies of kidnaped children. FURTHERMORE, according to Klein and God, the saucers can travel as far out in space as Alpha-Beta Centauri and no farther. They are capable of traveling at the speed of light, bid “the evil angels lack the courage to go b e y o n d 60,000 miles per second.” , What’s even worse, the evil a n g e l s broadcast telepathic commands to our minds when we sleep. Then, when awake, we’re subject to poskhypnotic suggestions. These broadcasts are beamed down on m ankind by magnetic space transm itters located on Venus and Jupiter. BUT THERE’S hope — these evil invaders can be identified! Their eyes and blood are artifi­ cial and non-fanman. So any sus­ pected alien should be g i v e n blood tests in the ulnar; tibial and popliteal areas to ¡move it.

Assuming the world isn’t incmerated by one of these cal­ amities, O vist will return on Christmas Eve fa 2004. His ac­ tual birthday, Klein insists, is January 17 fa 4 AD. How Christ born four years after the beginning of fag Christian era stamps us, but who are we to
