Violence erupts once more
as tension mounts at Rose
By DOUGCOCKBURN
Staff Reportei
Rose High School erupted
once more eaily yesterday
afternoon, as fighting broke
out between black and white
students.
The disruption was touched
off by a brief fight between a
white and a black girl,
reportedly the result of a
previous personal conflict
between the two, according to
several black students.
The incident centered
around the gymnasium and
fed by the flow of students
moving from class to class.
Rose High Principal Glenn
Cox stated that 100-125
students were involved, but a
white student estimated that
200 blacks converged on the
scene within minutes of the
first outbreak of violence.
Some blacks estimated the
number to beat least 300.
Chief of Police Gladson
stated at 5 p.m. yesterday that
no one had been injured, and
no arrests were made.
However, Diane Worthington, a
16 year old black student, was
arrested at 6 p.m. in he. home
and charged with assaulting a
teacher with her hands and feet
and using profane language.
Some black students claim
that the fracus began when
Miss Worthington tried to
enlist the aid of a black
teacher. She wanted someone
to transport an injured female
student to the hospital for
treatment.
The teacher reportedly
refused to do anything, and
shoving and cursing followed.
The teacher took no action at
that time.
According to Gladsor, "It
was in a stage to be a riot but
he also termed most of the
action as "pushing and
shoving
Cox said he had heard that a
knife had been pulled, and one
white student claimed to have
,n chased with a knife.
Cox noted that he had heard
oneg,rl had fainted, and to his
knowledge, that was the extent
of the injuries.
Mrs Jessie Daniels, a
member of the Board of
Directors for the N.C. chapter
of the Southern Christian
Leadership Conference,
reported that four black girls
were rendered unconcious
during the melee.
One of the four girls, Mary
Barrett, accused an
administrator at Rose of having
called several black students
into his office for conferences.
He allegedly was attempting to
enlist their aid in alerting the
administration to possible
unrest among the black
students.
Reportedly following his
advice to avoid trouble at all
cost, Miss Barrett said she was
assaulted by several white
youths.

New black politics
course is offered
As part of the cognate
minor in African Studies, the
Political Science department is
offering a new course spring
quarter.
The course will be taught by
Dr. Howard Sugg of the
Political Science department.
Sugg described the course as
"an investigation of the
political goals of black
Americans, the tactics for the
achievement of these goals and
the consequences of the goals
and tactics for the ideal of the
a c h i e v ement of a just
community in America
"The course will be a
flexible and loosely structured
format which will provide for
maximum student
participation and still provide
ample opportunities for
contributions from guest
lecturers or discussants said
Sugg.
Four paperback texts will be
used for the course. And an
extensive bibliography in the
library will bring the course up
to date to such figures as
Malcolm X and Eldridge
Cleaver.
He said the objective is "to
establish a course which will
draw together different aspects
of the political process in
America with especial
reference to the black
sub-community
Political Science 270 may
serve as an elective. There are
no prerequisites for the five
hour course.
All interested students
should sign up for the course
dufing pre-registration this
week.
The Vienna Choir Boys will
perform at 8:15 p.m. in Wright
Auditorium as the second
attraction of the Artists Series.
Student tickets may be
obtained for 50 cents at the
Central Ticket Office.

By JAMES HORD
Staff Wi itci
For students interested in
the affairs and operations of
student government, a new
course will be offered this
spring quarter by the Political
Science Department.
"Student Gavernment and
Politics" (Po Sci. 215), will
be open to "any student
participating in student
government a r related
projects said Dr. Hans
Indorf, coordinator of the
program.
The purpose of the course
is to "provide a training
ground for future political
leaders, and hopefully to
provide the impetus for more
people to become involved in
student government said
John Schofield, president of
the SGA.
Topics dealing with
parliamentary law, political
parties on campus, voting and
opinion, the judiciary, budget,
etc. will be discussed and
analyzed by different faculty
members specializing in these
particular areas.
Ace ording to I ndorf,
students will join faculty
members and administrators
"in a critical analysis of

'big ditch
The "big ditch has
progressed from Tenth Street
to Fifth Street. After two
years of ei tape in Raleigh,
the plans for the new drainage
system were funded, said
James Lowry, director of
operations.
The north campus section is
completed, said Lowry. it
provides drainage for the Mall
and the areas around it
through the use of feeder
lines.
The system runs from Fifth
Street at the administration
building, across the mall and
into Green Mill Run at Tenth
Street across from Umstead
Dorm.
iowry said the additional
flow of water into Green Mill
Run will not cause any
problems during heavy rains.
The second part of the
drainage system will center on
the south end of campus. The
pipes will run from Fifth
Street to Green Mill Run
5 c! j : c e n 11 o the Music
Building. A branch pipe will
run directly in front of Austin
Building, said Lowry.
Lowry said the streets and
Mall will be repaired as soon
as possible. Bad weather h?s
hindered this work so far.

area adjacent to Flanagan
Building will be lelanciscaped,
said Lowry.

The present construction of

Televised
predicted
PARIS (AP) Science
fiction writer Arthur Clarke
predicts worldwide education
by television one day, the
death of cities and the end of
the agricultural age. But he
says traffic jams may continue
"until the end of our lifetime
Clarke, who wrote the
screenplay for the film
"2001 was speaking to
government experts from 100
countries Monday at a meeting
on communications satellites
sponsored by the Un'ted
Nations Educational, Scientific
and Cultural Organization
(UNESCO).
The tall, balding 52-year-old
Briton was the first person to
predict the use of
communications satellites. He
said they will make worldwide
education by TV possible and
education
by writer
will play the same role in world
development as the railroad
and the telegraph played in the
continental development of the
United States.
For only one dollar per
pupil per year, Clarke said,
communications satellites
could provide the developing
countries with the necessary
educational hardware to "drag
this whole planet out of
ignorance
With efficient
communication, Clarke sees
the time when many parents
will no longer have to leave
home for work.
Don't commute,
communicate" will be the
slogan. And then will come the
death of cities, he said, and
after that the end of the
agricultural age.

It was a little late for
Christmas, but if finally came.
The seemingly vain wish of "If
only it would snow was
finally fulfilled last Wednesday
evening when the dropping
temperatures turned the rain
into long-awaited white flakes.
It didn't last too long, nor did
it accumulate, but nevertheless
it was real snow.
The sight was greeted by
most students with joyous
cries and happiness. There
were a few people, however,
who worried about the
possibility of a five or six inch
accumulation which would
paralyze the town. But these
fears were ungrounded, to the
dissapointment of many.
The snowfall was too light
to build a snowman, but it was
enough to be able to go
outside and catch the flakes on
your tongue, or watch it falling
silently in the hazy mist of a
street I amp.
The snow seemed to spread
its magic among everyone, as
nearly every person walked by
with a smile on his face.
And if you could catch
snatches of the conversations
of people passing by, you
would be very likely to hear
the word "snow

A recent issue of the confidential Asia Letter tells of
certain American companies that are preparing for a
shift in U S. government policy toward Red China - a
change that could open up what is potentially one of the
world's great markets.
Where do companies like these get the kind of inside
information that makes it possible for them to steal a
march on everybody else when big opportunities like
these are developing in the Far East? Not from news-
papers Not from wire services. Not from news maga-
zines Not even from an old college classmate in the
American embassy in Tokyo. They get it from The Asia
Letter, one of the world's great private intelligence
services.
The Asia Letter was the first to forecast business booms
in, Taiwan Thailand and South Korea. Before the bomb-
ng o NSrth Viet Nam began, The Asia Letter outlined
he 'Punitive Strike" strategy and accurately predicted
he entire pattern of escalation in the Viet Nam war. And
TtaKSTlSS has been consistently right Iniprtijftng
the intricate twists and turns of Red Chinese traae
policy.
In what small Asian country can you make 40 return
on your money every year? Why fan a foreign company
make 4 times more on its investment in Japan than a
Taoanese companv? Who is really in power in the Indo-
Sta foovernment - and what is their attitude toward
Amer"can"nveSore? The Asia Letter will tell you Whv
tothe Bmne dollar one of the most stable in the world?
Who is likely to be the ultimate successor of Ho Chi
Minh? And why do Thai businessmen (some of the
Smartest andTmost advanced in Asia) usually wait for
fhe Ih1?a meetTng to start talking business? The As,a
Letter will tell you.
The people who know write The Asia LeVr - a staff of
knowledgeable "Old Asia Hands" in all parts of the
Orient newspaper and magazine correspondents, for
the most part, drawing on contacts established over
many years within the highest echelons of government
and finance on both sides of the Bamboo Curtain The
Asia Letter is more than authoritative, it's a letter direct
to you from the sources of the news.
The people who have to know read The Asia Letter ?
including seven presidents, fifteen prime ministers,
more than uie hundred ambassadors and other diplo-
mats The Rand Corporation subscribes, as does the
Stanford Research Institute, the U.S. Chamber of Com-
merce, and other prestigious research organizations.
And perhaps most telling of all - many Asians read The
Asia Letter regularly, to find out what's going on in their
own and neighboring countries!
If you have a real interest in Asia - business, financial,
personal or scholarly-you should b reading the
authoritative analysis of Asian affairs. rnd this is an
especially favorable time to subscribe, because you can
take advantage of the first trial subscription offer in the
history of The Asia Letter.
The Asia Letter is a confidential letter, sent out weekly
from Hong Kong by air to a limited number of sub-
scribers who pay US $100 a year to receive it. Right
now vu may subscribe on a trial basis and receive
twelve weekly issues for only US $15 thats almost
half the regular rate.
This offer is intended to add only a limited number of
subscribers to our subscriber rolls, and when this is
accomplished the offer will be discontinued. So may we
urge you to return the coupon today?
No need to send money. We will bill you (or your com-
pany) after you begin receiving The Asia Letter.

Dropouts bother ROTC
BvGARY L.SCHAAL
AFROTC here is
experiencing periodic
disenrollments.
To find out why, we are
paying close attention to the
responses of cadets, especially
the freshmen, through
day-to-day counseling, weekly
m eetings, and casual
conversations.
No single factor seems to
stand out which causes cadets
to drop ROTC.
The comment was made
recently that some feel
confident they won't be
drafted because of their
relative position in the new
draft lottery system.
One cadet indicated that he
will probably drop ROTC
because he just does not feel
comfortable in the program.
He also feels that the people
in AFROTC are not his type of
people so he will probably
drop out and seek some other
career.
A few indicated that they
had plans to someday become
ultra wealthy but the military
would not bring this to them.
So what is keeping the
cadets in ROTC? Most cadets
say that they are in the
program because they sincerely
feel they have found "their
thing" in the Air Force.
Many have a strong desire to
fly and of course they will
satisfy that desire when they
graduate and enter pilot
training.
Some frankly admitted that
they plan to go through the
Air Force pilot training, serve
their committment, and then
join a commercial airline.
Many of those currently
enrolled have low draft
numbers but wish to stay in
ROTC. Some want the Air
Force because of the pay and
benefits.
We discussed the disparity
between Air Force pay and the
salary of a comparable civilian
position but several cadets
pointed out that by the time
the fringe benefits were
considered, the resulting
take-home pay approximately
would be ewual to that of their
civilian counterpart.
A common answer to "Why
did you join? was that "my
drafl number was X and I
know I'll have to go anyway,
so why not join as an officer
rather than as an enlisted
man?" Another frequent
response was, "I like the $50
per month
But what lies ahead for
ROTC? Students are not
rusning in to sign up by the
hundreds. Nor are they fleeing
in haste.
Do people really know more
about ROTC than that is is the
abbreviation for Reserve
Officers Training Corps?
Perhaps if more people
knew what the ROTC program
involved, they would rush to
sign up. Then again they might
avoid it even more strongly.
What is the General Military
Course (GMC) and how does it
differ from the Professional
Officer Course (POC)? Who
gets $50 a month? And who
are those fellows with the
stripes on their sleeves?
During the next few issues
of Fountainhead, we are going
to answer some of these
questions.
Pre-registration for spring
quarter began yesterday. Trial
schedules must be taken to
Wright Auditorium between 9
a.m. and 5 p.m. all days
through Friday.

losses have been to such
powers as Villanova, North
Carolina State, and Army. It
was also the Pirates' second
win in their series with the
Gamecocks which has now
extended to five meets.
The Pirates were led by
record-breaking performances
by Jim Griffin and double
victories by Gary Frederick
and Wayne Norris. In all, they
won eleven of the thirteen
events, setting seven meet and
four varsity records.
The Gamecocks were able to
keep the final team score
respectable by taking eight
second place finishes in
addition to the two relays
The first event of the night,
the 400-yard medley relay, was
won by the East Carolina team
of Bill Lafferty, Larry Allman;
Greg Hanes, and Paul Trevisan
with a time of 3:49.7.
The next event saw
Frederick pick up his first win
of the evening by a lap over
teammate Steve Howard in the
1000-yard freestyle. His
winning time of 10:53.29 set a
meet record.

WRC chairman explains role of Council
urges women to offer suggestions ana
voice opinions on proposed rule changes
VOICe VP"?V r r ,Wve opened an office
Junior awarded grant
by Academy of Science
"I've read several letters to
the school paper lately saying
the women here ought to band
together says Edna Cascioli,
chairman of the Women's
Residence Council.
"Well, the WRC is here,
we're together, and we can be
just as active as the women
want us to be. We try to do the
things that will benefit the
most women she said.
The WRC is an organization
which works for the women of
East Carolina, with the
co-operation of the Dean of
Women, to improve the
conditions under which they
live, Miss Cascioli said.
According to Miss Cascioli,
East Carolina has a larger
enrollment of women and
more women's dormitories
than any other school in the
state, and the Council is very
optimistic of their chances of
getting a lot done this year.
Miss Cascioli explained that
the Dean of Women has
offered to help on anything
they want to do, provided it is
beneficial, the women support
it, and it is in their best
interest.
"Take for example an
all-night dorm-that would be
very beneficial and we can get
one if it is wanted, but so far
the women haven't supported
the idea she said.
During fall and spring
quarters, the WRC participates
mostly in volunteer work and
school activities, as exemplified
by this fall's work for the TB
Association, homecoming
float, and "Get Involved"
campaign.
"We work for better living
conditions, more co-operation,
and more consideration among
dormitory students she said.
"Co-operation so far has
been excellent-we've gotten
good response. Everyone I've
talked to has been very
enthusiastic, and if more would
help us we could get even more
done
The WRC has an emergency
loan fund with up to $20
available to women students on
a short-term basis, and each
year the Ruth White
Scholarship is awarded to an
outstanding dormitory woman
"Most of their winter
quarter work is devoted to the
study of women's rules. If a
rule change will benefit the
women and they support it,
the Council can make whatever
changes are necessary she
explained.
We have committees
already set up to study the
possibility of having all-night
dorms, later hours, and changes
in freshmen rules, in addition
to those studying rules in
general and excess noise Miss
Cascioli added.
According to Miss Cascioli
cooperation so far has been
excellent, but the Council says
they need to know more of
what the women want
-We've opened an office in
Greene this winter, with office
hour, from 4 to 5 p.m. every
day " Miss Cascili said. "I'll be
in, 'and I'm glad to talk to
anyone about rules and we'll
try to take positive action on
them.

There is an extremely trite
?, xim which says: a little
knowledge is dangerous. I
neVer realized the truth in this
until I talked to an individual
on campus who claimed to
nave the answer to a particular
political problem.
I discovered, in the course of
our discussion, that this
individual had acquired his
qreat insight into our problems
through considerable
study that is, he had taken
two five hour political science
courses.
Armed with ten hours of the
m ist basic education, he had
somehow discovered and
analyzed the ills of our
(untry. Yet, there are men,
,1 )i only with doctorates in the
study of political problems but
with 20 and 30 years of
practical experience that cam
find no simple or easy
solutions to the situations
America finds herself today,
fhere is a tendancy among
us idealistic youth to grasp a
tiny bit of knowledge, perhaps
limited only to the definition
of a few terms, and plunge
headlong into an activist cause
without any idea of what the
details of the problems are.
Although we are granted the
right of expressing whatever
opinions we may have, what
right have we to interfere with
the solutions of problems we
don't know enough about to
understand. For example, the
roots of the Vietnam situation
stem back to World War II and
involve many complex
incidents which have been
witnessed and studied a great
deal by experienced political
scientists.
Some of the incidents and
situations involved have, of
course, boen kept secret for
military and diplomatic
reasons. Yet today, we in
America are aware only that
we are fighting in that country
and we don't like it. What gives
us the gall to claim to have the
Y
I

solution when we don't even
know all of the details of the
matter?
I do not advocate
non-concern. I do, however,
advocate studying situations
completely before even
attempting to suggest
solutions. At the risk of
over simplifying in an example,
I ask: how could a person
having seen only one football
game in his life, tell a coach
what he should do for the
team?

The greatest problem of the
student protest movement is a
Kick of communication
between the participants in
those demonstrations and the
general public. The sharp
contrast between the views
held by many of the
demonstrators and the image
they create in the minds of
those who observe their
cictions was particularly
apparent during the
pie vacation march through
Greenville sponsored by the
ECU Moratorium Committee.
While covering that march
for the Fountainhead, I had
the opportunity to speak with
'i number of its participants.
With two solitary exceptions,
all of those with whom I spoke
considered that the attainment
of a ? eful solution to the
war ii. viet Nam was of
n'imary importance; all-again
ith those two exceptions -
opposed the concept of a
Communist dictatorship as
fervently as they opposed a
s stem of military
dictatorship. In short, they
were simultaneously anti-war
and anti-Communist.
This was not the impression
made upon the citizens of
Greenville that afternoon.
These people-black or white,
male or female-expressed
feelings of dislike, disgust, and
contempt toward the
marchers. While most felt that
people had a right to make
their opinion known, the
general feeling was that the
protestors were, in the words
of one woman, "doing it the
wrong wav. They're helrng
? u
Kin our boys.
ine Reds kill
I believe that such a
disparity is primarily due to
the lack of coherent
communication between
protestors and non-protestors.
The demonstrators have quite
clearly been guilty of
abysmally poor "public
relations
The most overt cause of this
poor "public relations" during
the December march in
Greenville was the actions of
the two "exceptions" among
the marchers to whom I
referred previously. Instead of
advocating peace of the
withdrawal of American
troops, they carried a sign
advocating "Victory for the
Viet Cong This one sign, and
the actions of these two
individuals in carrying such a
sign, completely negated the
words and acts of the two
hundred other people taking
part in the march. In the eyes
of the public, the march was
not anti-war; it was
pro-Communist and in support
of those people who have
killed some 45,000 American
soldiers. As one man snapped
when he saw that sign: "Those
bastards aren't for peace;
they're just traitors
The second cause was an act
of omission, rather than of
commission. It involved the
failure of those taking part in
an ostensible anti-war
demonstration to express their
disapproval of the actions of
both sides involved in the
conflict. Most of them
opposed Communism, yet
carried signs opposing only the
United States; they shouted
against American actions yet
ignored those of the
Communist forces.
and other cases, the marchers
did not oppose publicly the
same things which they
opposed in private
conversations.
If those who oppose the war
in Viet Nam wish to avoid
being castigated as traitors by
the American people, they
must reject those who
advocate the cause of the
Communist forces in that
conflict. Moreover, unless their
position is made more
palatable to the majority of
the American people, the
protest movement will remain
on the fringe of American
political life noisy, colorful,
and outvoted.
Canada welcomes
U.S. draft evaders
By SHERRY JACKSON
College Press Service
The introduction of the
draft lottery last month drew
varied emotional reactions
ranging from despair to
elation ?or the difference
between numbers 32 and 351.
Those with high sequence
numbers-perhaps without
reason-wiped the sweat off
their brows and bought a
round or two for anyone who
would help them celebrate
their miraculous deliverance.
Those unlucky enough to be
caught in the low sequence
numbers thought twice about
marriage or graduate school
plans and began looking
around for a way of avoiding
the draft.
Draft eligible men looking
toward Canada as one of those
alternatives will find that the
wind doesn't blow quite so
cold on American draft
dodgers seeking aid and
comfort there.
In fact, the attitude of most
Canadians, young adults in
particular, tends to be
pro-draft evaders, according to
Stewart Saxe, president of
Canadian University Press.
In a recent interview, Saxe
said two years ago, when the
Canadian government was
considering cracking down on
young American immigrants,
pressure from native Canadians
convinced the government to
reconsider its position.
"The Canadian youth was
aghast at the government. Two
to four years ago it would have
been different, but now the
general attitude seems to be
favorable toward the young
kids who don't want to fight in
Vietnam Saxe continued.
Tom Patterson, President of
the Federation of Students at
the University of Waterloo in
Ontario, concurred with Saxe
saying, "It is safe to say the
majority of Canadian students
are verbally opposed to the
Vietnam war. Student opinion
is probably more sympathetic
toward resisters now than in
1967
A student council decision
to aid evaders in early 1967 was
overturned in a campus
referendum at Waterloo, said
Patterson. The same thing had
happened at the University of
Saskatchewan a few months
before.
Bob Verdun, editor of THE
CHEVRON, student
newspaper at Waterloo, said
that if the same motion were
put before Canadian students
today, support for draft
evaders would probably be
approved.
Verdun added that, as far as
he knew, Toronto and McGill
Un iversities had formally
voted in favor of support to
American draft dodgers.
Albert Cipryk, former editor
of the SILHOUETTE at
MacMasters University in
Ontario, said it is not difficult
for a draft evader to get into a
Canadian University, though
there is some opposition from
authorities.
Cipryk eztimated that there
are 65,000 evaders in Canada,
with largest concentrations in
Vancouver and Toronto, which
is considered by many to be
the end of a modern
underground railroad.
Most Canadians who onnose
aiding draft dodgers say it is a
matter of individual conscience
and Canadian universities
should lend no formal support.
Others argue that internal
subversion of the Armed
Forces, flooding the American
courts and jails or some other
form of resistance is more
effective.
The U.Ss northern
neighbor might not seem so
alien when compared to Fort
Bragg and olive drab.
Shriver back in politics?
By SONNY McLAWHORN
Staff Writer
Sargent Shriver may be a
candidate for Maryland's
Democratic gubernatorial
nomination.
Shriver, presently serving as
U.S. ambassador to France, has
not committed himself to
challenge incumbent Gov.
Marvin Mandel. Mandel took
over the governorship when
Spiro Agnew stepped down to
run for Vice President.
At the time of his election,
Mandel was serving as speaker
of the Maryland legislature. He
has built a successful political
career on loyalty. His election
was simply a reflection of his
power in the legislature.
Prelimary polls on Shriver's
behalf indicate that the
ambassador is much more well
known than Gov. Mandel.
Mandel, of course, has never
been tested in a statewide
election. He is essentially a
back-room operator.
Unfortunately for him, the
wheeler-dealer style of politics
is out of the vogue (thanks to
the hard work of Mayors
Daley, Tate, Barr and the like).
Shriver's supporters think they
could take advantage of
Mandel'spoor image.
Local politicians in
Maryland have already begun
to feel the heat. Mandel has
not hesitated to use the powers
available to him to make things
difficult for local leaders.
Since Shriver is not
expected to make any decision
until after French President
Georges Pompidou visits the
U.S. in February, he has had
little overt support. A state
visit is the highlight for an
ambassador, especially in view
of increasing good relations
between the U.S. and France.
Although Shriver's family in
the Free State goes back to
1703, he would be labeled a
"carpetbagger" by his
opponents. That label is not so
dangerous as it once was.
If Shriver should run and
win the governorship, he
would have to be considered a
leading candidate for President
in 1972.
There is still plenty of time
for Shriver to decide whether
or not to enter the September
primaryl.
Meanwhile, Mandel is
running like a scared rabbit.

Internal Affairs Tom Clone have been working
diligently in the past few months studying the ways
s ch schools as Harvard, Brown, Columbia, the
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Princeton
and Colgate operate their pass-fail systems.
Our University is a growing institution. As it grows
,t must keep in step with the educational advanc
experienced in America. In the past we hwhw
too slow in doing so. We hope this will not be the case
with the pass-fail system.
American cosensus has it that the Ivy League
schools are perhaps the best schools in America. They
initiated the system years ago. But this is no reason for
this University to do so. There are many far more
obvious reasons that this system should be mitiated
hpre
Students spend four years of their lives getting an
education. Unfortunately, they have to get grades for
learning thus limiting those fields into which they
would like to study for fear of losing qual.ty points.
This editor knows nothing about chemistry. He would
very much !ike to take a course in chemistry as he feels
it is vital in understanding today's technological and
medical advancements. However, this editor wiM
remain ignorant of chemistry because of GRAUtb.
Our current grading system is limiting his education.
This system would give the student the chance to
explore courses outside his major field without
experiencing undue grading pressure by competing
with those in that particular major.
After all, we are all here for an education. Grades
should not keep us from expanding our educational
horizons.
We commend the student ieaders who have worked
hard to bring this proposal to the Faculty Senate.
We urge the Faculty Senate to initiate this system
here.
They're late again
The new soda shop behind the Music Building is still
not open. We were told that this facility would be
operative early in October. Again, another contractor
has grossly misjudged his work here. And again,
probably, the contractor will not be financially
penalized for his late work.
Contractors have never been penalized for late
construction at the University according to an
administrative spokesman. We feel that it is about time
that the Univerc.ty begin to be a little more concerned
with how they spend the taxpayers' money. If a
contractor is late and there is a penalty clause in his
contract, he should be punished.
Maybe if the penalty clause were enforced, there
would be a few less late construction deadlines on the
campus.
The lottery
Selective Service directors in 7
statespredicted they will reach
all 366 numbers in the course of
the year
By RICK FITCH
WASHINGTON (CPS)
President Nixon accompanied
the unveiling of the drafi
l0ttery with an announcement
that those whose birthdays fell
in the first third drawn (1-122
stood a "high probability or
being drafted in 1970, those in
the second third (123 244)
stood an "average probability
of being drafted in 1970, and
those in the last third
(245-366) stood a "relatively
low probability
Today, little more than a
month after the dates were
picked in capsules from a bowl
before a national television
audience, even the National
Selective Service Headquarters
concedes Nixon's forcast was
mistaken.
Selective Service directors in
seven states have flatly
predicted they will teach all
366 numbers during the course
of the course of the year. Col.
Holmes in Michigan says his
office has been scraping the
bottom of the 1-A barrel for
the past five years to meet
induction quotas, and since the
anticipated 1970 Michigan
quota is 15,000-the same as
past years he sees little chance
that any with 1 - A
classifciations will escape the
draft
Col. Clifford Hall, Delaware
Selective Service director, says
his state will not only draft
19-26 year-olds classified 1-A;
it will have to draft some
18' -19 year-olds. "With my
knowledge of the 1970 draft
call, I will have to tell local
boards that they can go down
the list to number 100, just for
January he says.
Col. Byron Meaderx of New
York State's Selective Service
estimates that, "If our draft
calls are at the levels of the last
three years, we expect to
exhaust all numbers from one
to 366. . .by May or June
Massachusetts, New Jersey,
Oklahoma and North Dakota
also predict they will use up all
lottery numbers during 1970.

Ira L. Baker Adviser
eight othei states and the
District of Columbia told an
Associated Press survey that
those with high lottery
numbers are not safe from
conscription. 29 states said it
was too early to make
projections.
State spokesmen in only
four states-Alaska, Colorado,
Kansas and Utah say those
with high lottery numbers are
unlikely to be called.
According to Capt. William
Pascoe, chief information
officer for the Select.ve
Service, each month each local
board 'compiles a "report of
availability" that gives the
number of physically and
mentally qualified 1-A men in
its jurisdiction.
The national office receives
all the state reports, and assigns
a percentage to each of the 50
states plus Washignton, D.C
Guam, the Canal Zone, Puerto
Rico, the Virgin Islands and
New York City. The
percentage represents the
number of qualified 1 A men
living in that state as opposed
to the national total.
The state and local quotas
are established as follows,
explains Pascoe: "Say for a
particular month Maryland has
1.9 per cent of the 1 A's and
the national call that month
was for 20,000 men. 1.9
percent of 20,000 is 392, so
that number of inductees
would have to come from
Maryland. Maryland has 66
local boards. Say board 10 has
2.83 per cent of all the 1 A's,
then it would be called upon to
supply 2.83 per cent of 392
There are over 4,000 local
boards, each of them in an area
with a different socio-
economic make-up, he says,
and a board in an affluent area
might be calling high numbers
ahead of most ether boards
because many youths who
otfierwise might be drafted are
able to afford college.
In North Dakota, one local
board was found to have 294
as the lowest lottery number.
Those states, along with Utah
and California, are reported tc
have decided tentatively 0n
systems of evening out the
calling of numbers.
If those with low numbers
enlist in the Navy, Air Force
Marines, National Guard or
Coast Guard to "make the best
of their military experience"
Pascoe says, the higher lottery
numbers will fie reached
sooner. Similarly, if some with
high lottery numbers who were
planning to enlist reverse their
decision because they think
they're fairly immune from
being drafted, the vacuum in
military personnel will have to
be made up by draftees.
Pasoce says that in light of
the variables, students
shouldn't drop out of school to
gain entrance to this year's
pool. A recent Selective Service
decision makes it mandatory
for a full-time student to be
classified 2-S, so it is necessary
for a student to drop out of
school to receive a 1 A
classification.
There are other "variables
The re-enlistment rate in all
services is down, and the
absence- without- leave rate,
desertion rate, number of
people leaving for Canada and
number of people going to
prison for refusing induction
are up. Draft resistance is
currently the fourth largest
crime in the U.S nearly 10 per
cent of all federal court cases
involve the Selective Service.
But the single most
important variable is the
Vietnam war. If it is
escalated and Vice President
Spiro Agnew said his New
Year's Resolution is to "Win
the War" then no one is safe.
If it is toned down, then
1970's projected military
manpower needs of '25,000
men may be decreased.
Only President Nixon, who
controls the scale of the war,
can really tell vhal draft
prospects the future holds not
your local draft board
