Since, higher education is increasingly becoming a Parents Wait Word On Abbott And Draft By DAVE BUNTAIN Senior Staff Writer Steve Abbott's parents have not received word yet about their son's Army in duction, scheduled for last Thursday in Atlanta, Geor gia. Abbott, a former Univer sity student leader in s letter to Rev. Hudson B. Phillips of United Ministry for Higher Education indi cated that he would refuse induction because of his de sire to attain a Conscien tious Objector classifica tion. His father, Eugene Ab bott, said Sunday that he and his wife had received no information whether Steve followed through with his planned refusal. Abbott's induction call followed a year-long effort to gain draft exemption as a CO. By refusing to be inducted, he would commit a felony under Georgia law and could receive a jail sentence of up to five years upon conviction. His father defended his right to be a CO., saying, "I am not a CO. myself, as I had 28 years of military experience. I am fully con vinced that Steve has a right to be a CO. Every man has a right to make a decision on his own." The recent fighting in Vietnam has "clouded the issue of who is a draft dodger and who is a CO.," Abbott's father said. The Lancaster Board sees of the CO. Clause as "the only way to keep draft dodgers out." Abbott, a graduate English student at Emory Univer sity, began his campaign for CO. status as a Clar field, la., school-teacher.

"political, social and eco nomic necessity," the tui tion resolution reads, increased tuition rates "keep students from lower income families out of in stitutions of higher educa tion." ECONOMIC SQUEEZE As a solution to the prob lem of the economic squeeze the resolution sup- following a hearing on his application at the Lan ter County Board, he was denied his request to be a CO. and re-classified 1-A, his father said. When Abbott appealed to the state board, they re fused to rule on his CO. bid and instead classifed him 2-S because he was teach ing. By the time this classi fication expired n June, Congress had passed a new Selective Service law, altering the CO. appli cation procedure. Under the new law the state board could only re view the evidence given in the local hearing. The state group ruled 4-0 against Ab bott's request and set the stage for his induction call, his father explained. The state draft office has been receiving letters from across the nation in Abbott's behalf. The office suggested that he write a letter to Gen. William Hershey, national director of the Selective for CO. standing. The Nebraska boards are reading the law to the let ter, m preventing all except members of traditional peace churches from receiv ing CO. exemptions, his father said. The Catholic Church does not force its members to be pacifists, he said, but ra ther makes participation In war a matter of nersonal conscience. Nebraska draft boards seem to be ruling that moral objections to war don't count, he added. Chemists . . .

A resolution supporting the lowered voting age stated that "the nineteen year-old group is better ed ucated today than it w a s when the precedent of the 21-year-old voting age was established." VOTING AGE Nineteen year olds can also be drafted and forced to fight the country's wars, the resolution continued, therefore the delegates "support constitutional amendment No. 1 for low ering the voting age to 19." A resolution supporting a St a t e Higher Education Commission was also passed since "39 states have found that coordi nating boards have added a new dimension to higher education." The Conference also voted approval for a resolution supporting the income tax. DISCRIMINATION Finally, the Conference favored a resolution against discrimination, urging that "each student leader in every college and high school throughout Nebraska establish a Human Rela tions committee ... in or der that any discrimination may effectively be r o o t e d out." Delegates from Ne braska's four state colleges and Omaha University at tended the Conference, sponsored by ASUN. Dr. Clayton Yeutter, Gov. Norbert Tiemann's administrative aide, and Lincoln state senator John Knight addressed the Con ference. The overall purpose of the conference was "to initiate public participation of college students in issues of state government. "Students have not sup plied as much support as they should have when one or more state officials was speaking; and working in their behalf," states a letter signed by the representa tives. "This silence and in action," the letter continues, "is now becoming a con dition of the past." resolutions during sessions this iiiiiiiiitaiiiiiiiiiiiDiiiiiiiiiiiiaiiiiiiiiiiiaiiiiiitiiiiiaiiiiiiiiiiiaiiiiiiiiiiiiaiiiiiii 5 Be it hereby enacted by the Inter-Dormitory Associa- tionthat: 1.

The Inter-Dormitory Association legislative and executive branches reaffirm their intention to forgo the Inter-Dormitory Association into a meaningful body which may positively benefit the University of Ne- 9 6 braska dormitories and their residents.

The group was created following the overwhelming approval of the student Bill of Rights in last spring's elections. Senate leaders have been working to bring about the implementation of the Bill of Rights since the elections. The committee will be "flexible" in seeking the "best statement of student rights", according to Dr., Orton, the only administrative-faculty member avail able for comment. He said he hoped that the committee will consider the "whole problem" and that the rights of all groups involved can be "consid ered simultaneously."

The proposed act forbids discrimination "based on creed, national origin, or sex by IDA, the member dormitories or any organ ized dormitory groups." The act, proposed by Tom Briggs, would pro hibit discrimination for so cial functions as well as ac tivities involving dorm funds. The penalty for violation of this act must first be ap proved by the Office of Stu dent Affairs, according to section 3-a of the act. Jim Cavender (Cather Hall) questioned IDA's au thority to pass such an act by saying that IDA is a co ordinating body, not a gov erning body." "The Constitution ' pro vides that IDA deal with matters of common inter est," replied Vice-President Dave Shonka. The act was tabled to allow further investi gation. The discussion will be resumed at the next meeting. The Council approved a resolution concerning the policy-making process of IDA. "The resolution in vites discussion from the individual dorm resi dents," said Tom Brigg, and puts the purpose of IDA down in black and white." Briggs felt that a com munication problem exists between the dormitories and the IDA Council. "This problem exists," he said, "because the 5000 members are dispersed over such a large area as the University." Briggs felt that cirulating the Council minutes to the dormitories would increase member interest. Shonka said that the reso lution would help the Coun cil to find ideas. "There may be gripes," he said, "but at least we'll know what the residents want." President Brian Ride nour urged the dorm repre sentatives to consult those they represent. A co-ed visiting report by Paul Canarsky, committee chairman, indicated that a modified report would be resubmitted to the Ad ministration for approval. "The general format has been set," he said. R i d e n o u r appointed Dana Bennett as assistant chairman of the co-ed vis iting hours committee. . The IDA president also made appointments to the General Administrative Co ordinating Committee. This committee, which is responsible for taking res olutions to the administra ton, includes: Daonn Bor gaard, Pat Bowen, Bob Buhrman, Ron Dvorak, Mike Eyster, Ire Kiel, Mary Piper, Roger Pstba, Ron FARMLAND INDUSTRIES will interview on campus October 25 for Chemical Engineers Mechanical Engineers Chemists Computer Programmers Accountants Agriculture Majors Summer opportunities for engineering students. .COOP Wrangler!
