Thursday November 30, 1967 The Daily Nebraskan Page 3 Deferments Offered To Peace Corpsmen The local draft boards will defer any applicant for the Peace Corps if he is qualified, essential to the operation of the Peace Corps program and if his deferment is in the nation al interest, according to a spokesman for Lt. Gen. Guy N. Henninger, director of the State Selective Service. The statement answered an announcement Monday by Peace Corps Director Jack Vaughn that he will Intervene on behalf of volun teers seeking draft defer ments for two years of over seas service. "The problem of induction notices to overseas volun teers is becoming a major concern for us," Vaughn said. "Pulling a volunteer off a productive job at mid tour is unfair to the nation, the host country, the Peace Corps and the individual." SMALL PROBLEM The whole problem of Peace Corps deferments "isn't really much of a p r o b 1 e m," Henninger's spokesman said. He added that the Peace Corps is a relatively limited group in Nebraska. He said if a volunteer has begun the program, the Ne braska local boards will us ually grant the volunteer a deferment until he finishes his tour. The spokesman stressed, however, that the local boards determine who is eligible for a deferment. He added that the individual is given ample time to ap peal any decision made by the boards in order to grant the volunteers every right. The appeal process often takes months to be re solved, and the Peace Corps frequently sends volunteers to their overseas sites while their appeals for deferment are pending. "So long as chances for deferment are good, this system makes sense. But as more and more volunteers lose their appeals, we may have to reconsider the pro cess and keep them, a wast ing asset, in the United States until their cases are resolved," Vaughn said. DRAFTED BEFORE Some of Nebraska's young men have signed up for Peace Corps training and later have been drafted, but they had never begun the program outside the United States, Henninger's spokes man said. "The whole probelm is that students wait until the last minute, sometimes up to six months after college graduation, to announce their intentions of going into the Peace Corps. By that time, their local boards have them up for induc tion," the spokesman said. Up until the Vietnam war, such late-comers were atuo matically granted a defer ment the same as any other volunteer at that time, he. said. He added that since then, the Selective Service has tightened up on all defer ments. A larger percentage of the deferments now granted to volunteers come only on appeal to higher boards. BEST PROCEDURE Henninger's spokesman said the best procedure a volunteer could follow re quires completion ofa train ing during his last year of college and an application for deferment before grad uation. He added that two years in the Peace Corps cannot be served in lieu of an in dividual's military obliga tion, as has always been prescribed by Congress. The spokesman said an other cause of the defer ment problem stems from the Peace Corps' poor ad ministrative handling. He said the agency has made no effort to establish any poli cies with national Selective Service directors. SAF Reviewing Rights In Classroom Area The Student Academic Freedom (SAF) committee is now considering state ments on the rights of stu dents in the classroom sit uation, according to Rich ard S c h u 1 z e, committee spokesman. The six-man committee, which is preparing a com prehensive document on rights which should exist at the University, was ap pointed by Chancellor Clif ford Hardin. The representatives from the administration, faculty and students are also con lidering the format for such a document, Schulze said. The document is expected to be completed by the be ginning of the second se mester, he said. The SAF committee was created this fall by the Chancellor following the student body's approval of a Student Bill of Rights in the ASUN election last spring. The Bill of Rights was ap proved as amendments to the ASUN constitution last spring. Since that time, Schulze, ASUN president, and Gene Pokorny, ASUN first vice-president, have agreed to work with the oth er campus representatives in creating the document. Schulze indicated that the document is expected to "go beyond" the Bill of Rights and include student and faculty rights and obli gations in an academic com munity. G. Robert Ross, dean of student affairs, and Merk Hobson, vice-chancellor, are the administrative repre sentatives. Dr. Kenneth Or ton, associate professor in the department of Educa tional Psychology, and Campbell McConnell, pro fessor of economics, repre sent the faculty.

Dear Mr. Galvin: Today's young people are less security-oriented than the generation before us. We have lived through no depression or world war. Consequently, we place less value on a position or niche in life. Many of us are concerned about the very nature of being live and what it means to be human being. In our minds we experiment rather freely with the many possibilities of being that are open to us. Whether we fully appreciate this philosophic freedom is hard to say, but in many ways it characterizes the position of young people today. Thus I try to avoid situations where I am expected to behave in an unnatural way. Of course this is not as clear cut as It sounds but I am concerned that being businessman means being a complete conformist in thought and in deed. Why do so many businessmen wear the same kinds of suits and hats? To what extent do men in the middle and upper-middle management positions hide their feelings for fear of not advancing? Are my inter-personal relationships endangered by being in a position of setting ideas cr products? b my potential as human being altered by a life spent in the business world, and if so, how? Thank yon for your consideration. Sincerely, Ralph B. Kimball Stanford University POINTS OF VIEW about business are ex changed in this fourth of a continuing series of dialogues between Ralph Kimball, Stanford Uni versity student, and Robert W. Galvin, Motorola chairman. Similar dialogues in campus news papers and on campus radio stations are taking place between Mr. Galvin and other university students. 7 I t A Robert W. Galvin Dear Mr. Kimball: I know of no career that offers better development of inter-personal relationships and more opportunities for increasing one's potential as a human being than a career in business. There's some conformity in business, just as in other fields. There's a certain herd instinct which is basic to survival. One sees ii in evidence at ball games, in churches, on the campuswherever people congregate. Most of us derive a degree of pleasure from joining with others in a common interest. Some conformity is an asset; total conformity is not. In business you establish your own degree of conformity. Outward conformity is present in any profession. Look in on a Bar Association meeting or a medical convention. The similarity of clothing is almost military in its conformity. There's no telling from a glance how much of an individual any one person might be. Each demonstrates his own individuality by his performance and ability. Clothes do not make the man. A Chief Justice in convict's garb may look like a criminal; at a formal affair it can be difficult to tell the waiters from the male guests. Aren't jeans and button-down shirts pretty much the campus look? The bigger a company becomes, the more it has to decentralize, and this tends to counter conformity. Smaller, autonomous units are created which are ideal environments for the man who wants to retain his individuality. Can the graduate entering business meet this kind of challenge? Is today's computer-carded student really developing individuality? Last year, Dr. Peter Drucker, in n study of more than 1,000 business executives, wrote: "There is not one 'organization man' in the lot. No one sees the need to conform, let alone theiirge to do so." Business does not want conformists. It """ds men with vision who will reach out and attempt to affect meaningful change. Study pome current recruiting ads , , A Phillips Petroleum ad features a photograph of a young executive of the company wilh his own words: "Phillips has given me a chance to 'create' myself ... I feel I am becoming a more complete person." Western Electric tells undergraduates: "We replace shiboleths at a terrific pace!" The ad welcomes young men who will "create a stir . , . upset an old applecart." I would say that hiding one's personal feelings on important business issues would be a sure way of NOT advancing. Feelings are thoughts. Your colleagues are very interested in what you think on a great many issues. Business needs men who make waves. Executives are hired for their individual abilities and potential, not for their conformity aptitude. One important area in business management which calls for both Intellectual and creative thought is the "refounding" process. The development, production, and marketing of new products and services frequently demand the founding of new divisions or subsidiary .companies. Within an already established corporation, forming these new divisions is called "refounding". The problems are similar to those inherent in starting a new corporation. And there is a scarcity of talent to handle these problems. Refounding is but one aspect of business that demands daily relationships with differing publics. These include one's associates within the company, the firm's customers and suppliers, and the general public. The success of an executive's inter-personal relationships Is largely influenced by his sincerity and personal integrity. A man who cloaks his true personality to fit a particular circumstance soon becomes obvious. Business offers intellectualism, challenge, opportunities to make wor&whfla contributions to society, and still late a man be hfavlf, Sincerely, Robert W. Galvin Chairman, Motorola Ins.
