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.

An Equal Opportunity Employer
ported keeping tuition "as
low as possible," and urged
the establishment of low
interest loans for college
students.
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."

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

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."

IDA Initiates Proposal
To Bar Discrimination
Within Dormitory Units
By JAN PARKS
Junior Staff Writer
An a c t to prohibit dis
crimination was proposed
at the Inter-Dormitory As
sociation Council meeting
last week.
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
