Dietz Loses Draft Deferment
In Spite Of VISTA Assignment
Service in the Peace Corps
or VISTA, the domestic peace
corps does not exempt a man
from the draft, as one Uni
versity student found out.
John Deitz, a University
senior in good standing, had
volunteered for VISTA, had
been accepted and assigned
to a training station.
He informed his draft
board of his plans and was
notified that he would lose his
student deferment.

Abel Hall False Alarm
Provides 'Good Drill9
At 2:55 a.m. Wednesday a
false alarm caused the evac
uation of Abel Hall.
Richard Arndt, residence
director of Abel South, said
that he had "ho idea whether
the alarm was turned in by
a resident or a nonresident",
but that the alarm had pro
vided a "good fire drill."
No fire trucks arrived on
the scene, because it was
shown to be a false alarm.
Under Abel's fire indicator
system, the fire department
is not notified unless there
is a real fire. The department
is not connected directly to
the Abel system.
Arndt said that a "very re

Unicorns To Host
Activity Seminar
Sept. 29 At Union
Unicorns will sponsor an
Activity Seminar "in conjunc

according to Rich Thompson,
activities chairman.
Dean G. Robert Ross will
speak on the value of extra
curricular activities at the
seminar 3:30 p.m. Thursday
in the Nebraska Union's small
auditorium.
Representatives of Build
ers, Union and AUF will
speak to the students, Thomp
son said.
In previous years Unkorns
has presented a similar orien
tation program for campus
activities to its members but
this is the first year the ser

off-campusf students, Thomp

The seminar is open to all

cording to Colonel Francis
Dorath of the State Selective
Service Board.
Men are classified by their
local boards, he said. Most
local boards in Nebraska are
reluctant to grant exemptions
for Peace Corps or VISTA
service, he added.
"We consider the war corps
a more essential activity at
this moment that the Peace
Corps, VISTA, or the Job
Corps," he stated.
sponsible evacuation" had
taken place and residents
were shown the necessity of
an orderly exit.
Arndt added that while not
100 per cent of the residents
had responded to the alarm,
it had given the staff ideas
for the conduct of future emer
gencies.
Stressing that this was not
an indication of a future false
alarm "wave", Arndt said
that the residents this year
showed a more positive attl
tude toward the situation than
did many last year.
Last year Abel Hall had
particular problems of fire
trucks being called for re
recurring fires in the trash
chutes. The situation had pro
voked articles and editorial
comment in the local news
media.
Arndt called the orderly
crowd at Wednesday's false
alarm a "credit" to Abel Hall
Canadians:
'Remove
Barriers'
Halifax, Nova Scotia (CPS)
Canadian student leaders
have called for student salar
ies and the abolition of tuition
fees as part of a long-term
flrive for free public higher
education.
Calling education a funda
mental human right, dele.
gates to the 30th convention
of the Canadian Union of Stu
dents voted overwhelmingly
Sept. 15 for the removal of
all financial and social bar
riers to college.
The association, represent
ing 170,000 predominantly
English - speaking students
across Canada, also rejected
in principle all systems of stu
dent financial aid which in
voive loans, means tests or
other implication of manda
tory parental support.
The CUS secretariat has an
nounced that it will vigorous
ly pursue research studies
and action programs at all
levels to "drive home the SO'
cial inequalities in Canadian
educations."
In addition, the Canadians
embarked on a drive to im
prove the quality of sec'
ondary education through the
raising of teaching standards,
increased support for adult
education and provision for
free medical recreational and
eating facilities for all Ca
nadian school children.
Nearly 6,000 students and
faculty at the City College of
New York last year staged
the largest rally in the insti
tution's history in defense of
their free tuition. California
residents likewise pay no tui
tion.
Abroad, higher education is
free in Denmark, Norway,
Sweden and even "underde
veloped" Afghanistan. High
er education is also free in
all of the countries of Eastern
Europe and the Soviet Union.

"They should be filled by
those who can't meet physi
cal or mental standards of
the armed forces, or by vet
erans," he continued. (
He noted that one-third of
those examined by selective
service are rejected. The
Peace Corps, which has much
more lenient physical stan
dards, could use men reject
ed by the armed forces.
Another reason why many
local boards are unwilling to
grant exemption to Peace
Corps or VISTA service is
that most men who volunteer
for such work have already
been deferred for four years
of college.
By the time they complete
two years in such service
many of them are older than
26 and will not be inducted.
He said that if the induc
tion age limit is raised and
men over 26 are inducted then
it is possible that men might
be exempted for Peace Corps
or VISTA service.
At the present time it is
the policy of the State Ap
peals Board to refuse exemp
tion to such men.
However if the N a t i 0 n a 1
Board should change its pol
icy and give exemptions for
peace service, the state
board would change its pol
icy. :P

Teacher Corps
Congress Cuts
Washington, D.C. (CPS)
The National Teacher Corps
will meet an untimely death
on June 30, 19G7 A victim of
Congressional apathy and
Congresswoman Edith
Green's hostility.
The outcome was almost
assured Thursday (Sept. 22)
when the Senate Approplra
Wons Committee cut the
Corps' budget request to $7.5
million just enough to carry
it through tlie 1006 fiscal
year.
The Senate move was a set
back for the Johnson Adminis
tration's efforts to com
bat teacher shortages and
sub-standard education
in slum areas.
The Corps has had rough
going in Congress since its
establishment under the 1985
Higher Education Act and
has operated under supple
mentary budget funds since
its founding.
The Corps provides for the
training of college graduates
in special teaching techniques
to serve in slum areas.
The program was designed
by the Administration to at
tract the youthful idealism
once claimed for Peace
Corps and VISTA recruits.
For their efforts, Corpsmen
receive the same salaries as
local teachers and pursue

gree programs to earn teach
er certificates.
Travel funds are given to
Corpsmen for the expenses
of attending training centers,
and they are paid $75 a week
during summer training.
The compensation
Corpsmen r ece i v e has
brought strong opposition
from Representative Green,
a key figure in shaping most
educational legislation.
The Oregon Congress
woman has argued that the
financial benefits received by
Corpsmen, combined with the
special attention and reduced
teaching loads they receive,
discriminates against 1 o c a '
school teachers and lowers
morale at the schools.
The Inexperienced Corps
man, she adds, might lower
teaching standards at the
schools where they are as
signed. "Ridiculous," according to
aide to Senator Gaylord Nel
son (D-Wis.), a strong sup
porter of the Corps. The
teachers in the program are
all college graduates, under
go extensive training, an1
are well-prepared to teach,
he said.
But the opposition of Edith
Green did not in itself kill
the funds for the Corps.
The program has met with
little enthusiasm among vot
ers and Congressmen, and

Constitution Is Changed
A second year graduate
student in philosophy Al

dent of the University chap

day. Also elected at the meet

Changes in the constitution
fo the campus chapter of SDS
were made, especially
areas o membership and
purpose, and were adopted at
the meeting.
Article II concerning
purpose, now reads: "SDS is
an education and social ac

increasing democracy in all
phases of our common life.
It seeks to promote the ac
tive participation of y o u n g
people in the formation of a
ciety free from poverty, ig
norance war, exploitation and
the inhumanity of man to
man. SDS is clear in its op
position to any anti-democratic
principle as a basis
for governmental, social or
political organization."
No word has been yet re
ceived from invited represen
tatives of major civil rights
groups concerning the SDS
power.
