Daniels, who is concerned with speech and hearing problems, has found the incident of stupedial otoscloris, one of the most common diseases of the middle ear, much higher in areas of low fluoride concentration in the drinking water. As a result, Daniels, Simpson and LeDoux went to Tennessee to learn the process of taking the stapes from the ear of a guinea pig. Lipscomb, who is an authority on the ear and hearing mechanisms, demonstrated this operation to them. After returning from. this trip, they plan to set up a series of experiments in which they hope to be able to observe the effect of water with a high fluoride concentration on guinea pigs. @ Renovation set The Flanagan Building will soon get some ‘‘badly needed” modernization F.D. Duncan, vice president and business manager, said the space vacated by the physics and biology departments will be converted to classroom and laboratory space for the chemistry, science education and industrial education departments. The plans also allow for improved office space and research laboratories. One of the major changes will be the renovation in the heating system. The old radiators will be remeved.

With the great passer’s this year’s opposition have to offer, one might come in handy. This weekend the Pirates will entertain Tony Passander and the Citadel Bulldogs. Passander is nothing like Louisiana Tech's ‘Terrific Berry’’ Bradshaw in the eyes of the nation, but he is just as dangerous in the eyes of the coaching staff here. Last weekend, Bradshaw used the Greenville battlefield to complete 12 of his 22 aerial attempts for 227 yards and three touchdowns. This weekend, the passes will be fewer in number but if the record stands, the completions will be greater and just as important. On the season, The Citadel’s “Mr. Big’’ Passander has put the ball in the air only 30 times, but his receivers have grabbed 20 of those for three touchdowns not to mention the 237 yards they have covered. Passander, a senior, is not a big quarterback but he is smart and almost invariably comes up with the big play. At 5-11, 185, he is not as big as Bradshaw but he is as valuable to the Citadel’s veer of fense | and just as dangerous as far as > the Pirates are concerned The Bulidog quarterback set records at the Citadel last season as a junior and will undoubtedly set more this season. Last year, he completed 79 of 185 passes for 1,083 yards, an individual Bulldog record for most yards passing. He also had a total ‘Class’ players invade Ficklen (continued trom page 6) and eight assists. Charlie Waller, former Clemson backfield coach and now with the San Diego Chargers, says, “‘his size/speed ratio and ability are among the - qualifications that make him Pan outstanding college linebacker and candidate for the professional ranks.” Gil Brandt, the director of » Player personnel, says Small will without question be the first linebacker to be drafted in the winter. ‘‘He has the size and speed to be an outstanding middle linebacker in professional football,’’ Brandt said. Last weekend, D.C. (Peahead) Walker, who was in Greenville to take a look at Terry Bradshaw for the New York Giants, said of Small: “He is the finest looking linebacker in the Southeast. He "has all the qualifications the " pro people are looking for.” Small’s coach, Jim Parker, ' says he is the complete football ~ player. “he may be the best One I’ve ever had the Opportunity to coach,’’ Parker says. offense that read 1,159 yards, another record. Along with Passander, the “Citadel Veer’ offense features senior fullback Tom Sanchez, and sophomore tailback Bob Duncan. With Sanchez in the backfield, Passander has turned to Gene Shields, a senior end, as his number one receiver. Shields has pulled in eight of Passander's aerials for for 133 yards and one touchdown. But by many football experts, Passander and his “veer’’ offense is not the piece that makes the Citadel football machine click. The major part to that machine is John Small. At 6-4, 230, he is what many pro scouts are calling the number one linebacker in the country. “Eor his size he is very quick,’’ said coach Harold Bullard, who scouted the Citadel's first two victories of the season. “he is mobile and a very aggressive football player.” Small’s counterpart at linebacker in the Citadel defensive lineup is Charlie Baker, a 5-11, 180 pound junior, who played his high school football under Clyde Walker at Needham Broughton This year’s opposition could mean passing trouble in Raleigh. Saturday night's game between the two Southern Conference Schools is the first league game for both. The Citadel is 2-0 and East Carolina is 0-2. In the past, games between the two schools has always proved exciting. Two seasons ago, the Pirates were rolling along undefeated after six games when the Citadel made their visit to Greenville. It was the homecoming game for the East Carolina eleven. Before the largest crowd to view a football game in Ficklen Stadium, The Citadel erased all hopes of the Pirates gaining a third bid to the Tangerine Bowl in Orlando, Florida, or even gaining a share of the Southern Conference title. The Bulldogs rose up and handed the Pirates gaining a third bid to the Tangerine Bowl in Orlando, Florida, or even gaining a share of the Southern Conference title. The Bulldogs rose up and handed the Pirates their first defeat of the season by a margin of two points, 21-19. Last season the Pirates pulled exactly the same trick in Charleston.

Saturday's football game should match the last two encounters in the excitement department and if history can be counted on to repeat itself, the Pirates will spring an upset. Two years ago, East Carolina was rolling along on a six-game winning streak and a favorite not only to beat The Citadal but to go on and at least gain a share of the Southern Conference championship. But the Bulldogs had their day and spoiled homecoming before what might well have been the largest crowd in Ficklen Stadium history.

The Citadel has won its first two games of the season and East Carolina has lost its first two. But for both, it will be the opening conference game of the season and a loss will spell the end of any dreams of Tangerine Bowl in December.

Many of them are perosns who believe in civil disobedien orid of today is one of confusion on the international scene International relations have drastically changed with the development of nucleat veapons that can destroy the world many times over. Peopie are beginning to re-evaluate traditional theories and values, and they are changing their lives to accommodate the world around them. The rise in the number of CO's in the past twenty years is one result of this change. But there seems to be some question about the validity of the viewpoint of the CO Traditional freedom of conscience From the beginning of the history of this country, the right of conscience has bean recognized as a right that cannot be taken away. Many of the first settlers came to this country for that reason. They were looking for a place where freedom of conscience was allowed. The Declaration of Independence declared that man was endowed with certain tnaiienabie rights. And the Constitution of the United States guarantees freedom of conscience in religious matters--only ne area of conscience protected by that document To quote Professor Harrop Freeman of Cornell University, ‘Every federal nilitia law or draft law from the country’s founding has recognized the right of conscientious objection-sometimes giving absolute, sometimes qualified exemption. Virtually every state constitution protects the rights of conscience.” The Selective Service Act of 1940 also provided for conscientious objectors in such a manner that they would have some alternative, if only slight, to participation in combat as a fighting man. The problem involved then, as now, was in the definition of conscientious objection. The latest revision of the basic 1940 law, the 1967 Selective Service Act, provides fer the following “Nothing contained in this title shall be construed to require any person to be subject to combatant training and service in the armed forces of the United States who, by reason of religious training and belief, is conscientiously opposed to participation in war in any form. As used in this subsection, the term ‘religious training and belief’ does not include essentiaily political, sociological, or philosophical views, or a merely personal code. Any person claiming exemption from combatant training and service because of such conscientious objections whose claim is sustained by the local board shall, if he is inducted into the armed forces under this title, be assigned to noncombatant service as defined by the President, or shall, if he is found to be conscientiously opposed to participation in such noncor | itant service 4 the President may prescri prescribed in ection thus go to prison in order to dramatize the problem : Most of these persons would be good citizens, if only they were gi chance. There is something tronic in the fact that they are punished fot v8 compassionate toward their fellow man, for refusing to kill without 4 i simply because their government says someone ts an enemy OF because some wears a different uniform or has slanted eyes : Any effort to place all CO’s in categories according to ther beliefs 0 ¢ other criteria will be doomed to failure from the beginning. A CO belief is by very nature an individual thing. ‘The law seeks to set aside the religious 08 from the non-religious, calling the latter “essentially political, soc philosophical’ or followers of a ‘‘merely personal code.’ But even ml difficult undertaking, for how is one to judge what ts religious oF not? ; Before a further discussion of the plight of the CO, let us look at procedure for getting CO status. In my previous article on the structure ° functioning of the Selective Service System, |! wrote something - ’ classifications and procedures for obtaining them, but | deliberately bee topic unfinished on the subject of CO's. When filling out the forms to be with your local board, the form entitled SSS Form 100 will have 4 pe (Series VIII) which will ask if the registrant has any reason to believe that iB conscientious objector, and if so, he may begin the application for CO stale asking for and filling out SSS Form 150, a special form for CO's Procedure for application 5 issu i F or | You can request the CO form anytime before an induction orde ie an who t but the earlier this is done, the better for the registrant.

But anyway, bac- to establishing a CO claim Form 150 may be requested anytime before an induction order 15! the form is requested within that time limit, the board mt classification. If it is made after the induction order is received, tl eceivel ist reo? ye boate our forefathers came to this country to get out fro Hicse tent Of conscription in Europe. 1 have yet to hear th ; ] COLIC to Cd to as ‘draft dodoers,’ or the men nou ——— SN onscience ? “3% probably not reopen the file. In any case, the registrant would have the rights of ae appeal as stated in the first article of this series. © stn addition, if a registrant asks for a form 150 and fails to fill it out and Y return it within the allotted thirty days, it will be assumed that he has waived his right to claim CO status. The board will judge the claim of the registrant on the basis of this form and the other material in his file. This is the reason that any contact with the local board should be in writing, or summed up in writing later = in the case of an interview, and sent to the local file. In the case of appeals, @ interviews are usually not called, but may be in special cases. f The form itself includes several parts. One is a statement in two parts, one of E which the registrant must sign. One of these parts is the application for E non-combatant service as a CO, and the other is an application for alternate civilian work as a CO (1-A-O or I-O status). The draft law says that opposition must be based on religious training and belief. This has been the center of controversy for many years. What is belief? Many moral and philosophical definitions have been expounded. The closest b thing there 1s to a legal definition is found in the case “U.S. v. Seeger (380 U.S. 163) eh es U.S. v. Seeger In that case, the Supreme Court stated: “...Under the 1940 Act it was necessary only to have a conviction based upon religious training and belief; we believe that is all that is required here. Within that phrase would come all sincere religious beliefs which are based upon a power or being, or upon faith, to which all else is subordinate or upon which all else is ultimately dependent. The test might be stated in these words: A sincere and meaningful belief which occupies in the life of its possessor a place parallel to that filled by the God of those admittedly qualifying for the exemption comes within the statutory definition...While the applicant's words may differ, the test is simple of Papplication. It 1s essentially an objective one, namely, does the claimed belief occupy the same place in the life of the objector as an orthodox belief in God holds in the life of one clearly qualified for exemption?...In such an intensely @ personal area, of course, the claim of the registrant that his belief is an essential part of a religious faith must be given great weight.” Nonteligious objectors are not at this time eligible for CO status. Whether ; is good or bad is a different question entirely. While there is nothing in the law or the draft regulations that would require a to be a pacifist, abhoring the use of violence in any form, local boards still ton the reqistrant about the use of force in any of a number of hypothetical jtions. Thus, if the CO claimant believes in the right of self-defense, he be prepared to carefully explain why this does nut conflict with his ideas use of violence in war. Another such case is explaining why one believes there 1§ a need for a domestic police force when there is no need for an Questions asked applicants ne local board os Sampres of other questions asked of registrants claiming to be CO’s include: and any sith (many of them are stupid, perhaps designed to frustrate the registrant and thus order from hi F cause him to give conflicting answers on important questions) ‘What happens to f this title, to people like you in Russia?” ‘Do you object to killing, or being killed?” (You quired of him Ve tigui e that one out). “If everyone held your view wouldn’t the Communists take “gan over the world?” 3 For those who are awarded the I-O classification, work must be performed on Te the civilian level if a draft notice is received. This notice will take the form of a oo to report for civilian work instead of the usual order to report for einduction. Of course, the CO must take and pass the physical just as any other pdraftee before he can perform this work. Appropriate work is defined as employment by the U.S. government, by a subdivision thereof, or by the District fof Columbia. Employment must by by a nonprofit organization of a charitable nature or one that does work in the public interest, such as a service involving the public health, safety, and welfare. Private employment Is specifically ruled pout ; Employers must be approved by the State Director of Selective Service or the § National Director of Selective Service. One approves employers inside the United at States and the other approves employers outside the United States.

The employer may fire a CO. If this happens the CO must get the same kind of job with another employer. The CO has no right to quit his job before the two years are up. However, of those who have quit for a good reason and immediately found another job of the same kind, none have been prosecuted by the Selective Service. After civilian work is satisfactorily completed, the CO is classified either |-W or V-A, depending on the situation. The 1-A-O classification provides that the CO is willing to serve in the military, but will not serve as a combatant (technically anyway, for the CO medic serving in the battle zone is just as much a combatant as the soldier with a gun.) CO’s who recieve this classification are trained at San Antonio, Texas Their training is practically the same as another draftee with one exception -the CO's are not given weapons training. Instead, they are given training as mdics or an another ‘‘noncombatant.” They are then assigned to a base just as any other military man would be assigned (at least, in theory there is no mititary discrimination against CO's), and after their two years of service, they are classified just as any other person who had completed his military ‘‘obligation.” The man who thinks over the various alternatives to the draft and decides that the only correct course for him is resistance will be the man who suffers most from the Selective Service System. There have always been a small number of these men, but the number is now growing. Some act from a strong belief that the draft is immoral, corrupt, and that the peacetime draft is unconstitutional. Others act out of a belief that the Vietnam War is an evil that must be ended by any means, some act out of a strong belief that the military should be done away with in its present form, and that the need for militarism is obsolete. On the other hand, there are many men who co-operate with the draft, but when they do not get a classification that they feel they are entitled to, turn instead to resistance. Penalties for resistors The penalties are severe, in fact, they are absurd in their severity. Draft evasion or resistance, upon conviction, will bring a maximum sentence of five years in prison and a $10,000 fine. Punishment for fleeing the country to avoid the draft, if the ‘‘criminal” ever dares to return, will bring this penalty almost automatically. The courts traditionally have not been sympathetic to the conscientious objector, but hopefully this will soon change. The attitude of the judge is the all-important factor in any trial involving the draft law. Finally, | will discuss briefly the policy of emigration to avoid the draft--a plan that has been very popular with the resistor. Many others chose this course of action not to specifically resist the draft, but because they do not care to confront it and still do not want to be drafted. Few return, but those who do face immediate arrest on crossing back into the United States. Emigrants look for a country that they feel will provide them with economic security, that will not extradite them for their draft offense, that does not have a draft of its own, and that will give them the right to live ther permanentiy. The fact that the home must be permanent must be emphasized. Very rarely can the resistor return, even for a short visit. If he renounces his United States citizenship, he may be able to return and he may not. It is hard to tell. If the resistor has not broken the draft law before leaving and renouncing his citizenship, he will have a better chance of returning than if he has broken the law. In conclusion, the author wishes to point out that the sketchiness of this article is due to its natue--that of a survey. As such, it cannot deal completely with any one phase. There is also the fact that the draft law is a very complicated one and needs the interpretation of a lawyer before taking action on military alternatives. Careful thought and consideration must be given to the law. But in the end, the decision is a purely personal one. Each of you must make a decision. Have you?

The Bulldogs have an outstanding passer in Tony Passander, and a formidable running attack. Tom Sanchez, who caught the bomb that led to East Carolina’s downfall two years ago, is back but as a running back this time and he’s averaging six yards a carry His partner in crime is a rather light (173 pounds) tailback who is averaging 5.9 per carry. Without a doubt, unless both defensive teams come up with super collosal efforts two school records will fall during the ballgame, one for The Citadel and one for East Carolina. Butch Colson, who already owns the Southern Conference single season rushing record, is within 53 yards of the career rushing record for East Carolina.

Passander, The Citadel's quarterback, is even closer to a schoo! record. He needs only 20 yards passing to break the school record of 1900 for a career. The Pirates, despite two straight losses, have played well enough to win in the last two weeks. Although scoring but six points, the offense has rolled up more yardage than the opposition and in general dominated the statistics in every phase except the vital point total. Senior tailback Billy Wightman is the ieader in total offense. He has gained 229 yards rushing for an average of five yards a carry and has picked up another 43 on passes. Colson’s total is only 20 yards less. He has gained 185 yards rushing and another 69 The pass attack, defensively, on passing. offensively and foes don’t fade away commanded considerable attention from the Pirates during the week.

The lowly Pirates suffering through a es) loses, The Citadel had been thinking about hristmas vacation in Orlando before the Pirates arrived and a near capacity crowd was there to see the Bulldogs continue their jaunt toward Orlando. The Pirates had something else on their minds. They remembered the season before when the Citadel had erased their chances so why not turn the tables. They did exactly that, handing the Citadel a 23-14 licking thus erasing their chances of a share of the conference title or a Christmas trip. If the record goes as it has in the past, the Pirates will hand the Citadel their first loss of the season as well as winning their initial contest. Ss The Dust!
