Lottery fades ...
Nixon Might
Conveyor Draft Plan
Washington (CPS) As
prospects diminish that both
legislative branches will pass
the administration's lottery
draft proposal by the end of
this year, chances increase
that President Nixon will
enact by executive order a
"conveyor belt" system of
induction in early 1970.
Under this form of con
scription, 19-year-olds would
be made the "prime age
group" for draft calls with
their liability to the draft
limited to one year. Age
would determine the order of
induction. A person whose
19th birthday fell during
January would be called up
before a person with a
February birthday.
Since 1 1 discriminates
against those with birthdays
early in the year (persons
born in October, November
or December might never be
subject to the draft), the
conveyor belt would be less
equitable than a lottery,
under which one of the year's
365 days would be picked 'at
random and all 19-year-olds
born on that date made
draftable.
Both approaches to pro
curing military manpower
would reduce a person's
draft vulnerability from
seven years to one, making
him draft-free at age 20, both
would defer college students,
placing them in the pool of
draftables for one year after
graduation, and both would
defer graduate students until
they have completed the full
academic year.
But the lottery, unlike the
conveyor belt, can't be
established without con
gressional approval. Both the
Senate and House have to
vote to change a provision in
the 1967 Selective Service Act
prohibiting random selection
of draftees. And everyone,
from Sen. Edward Kennedy
(D-Mass.), a leading pro
ponent of draft refrm, to Sen.
John Stennis ( D - M 1 s s . ) .
chairman of the Senate
Armed Services Committee,
is predicting this won t occur
until Congress reconvenes
next year.
The reason is that many
legislators, desiring more
sweeping Selective Service
reforms, are unwilling to go
along with the administration
and its congressional
leadership in speedily pass
ing the lottery without con
sidering amendments.

LORD LATIGO
235 N. 11 h
In a press conference
sponsored by the National
Council to Repeal the Draft,
Reps. Shirley Chisholm,
Edward Koch and Leonard
Farbstein, all New York
Democrats, criticized the
lottery proposal as too minor
a reform. They called for
total abolition of military
conscription.
Rep. Chisholm had three
objections:
1) By continuing the prac
tice of granting . student
deferments, the lottery would
sanction further class and
race discrimination in that
white middle and upper class
students could avoid military
service by going to college
whereas poorer non-white
youth unable to afford col
lege, would be inducted.
2) It would be more dif
ficult for non-college youth to
acquire jobs while in the age
bracket between 17, the
average age of high school
graduation, and 19, the year
of the lottery. Career plans
would thus have to be
delayed.
3) Any form of conscription
is unfair since it involves in
voluntary servitude, and
passage of the lottery would
constitute affirmation of an
injustice.
Koch and Farbstein had
amendments. Koch's would
permit what he termed
"selective conscientious ob
jection" a category of
persons objecting to a
particular war on moral or
religious grounds. They
would be given alternate
civilian service. Those cur
rently in jail or Canada as a
result of their pacifist beliefs
would be able to resume
their lives as U.S. citizens,
providing they qualified for
alternative service.
Farbstein's would abolish
the draft except when Con
gress declared war. In
peacetime there would be a
volunteer army. One other
congressman, William Ryan,
also a Democrat from New
York, has proposed an
amendment which would

Several student leaders,
including Charles Palmer,
president of the National
Student Association (NSA),
David Hawk, co-chairman of
the Vietnam Moratorium
Committee, and Dan Siegel,
student body president of the
University of California at
Berkeley, joined the
representatives at the press
conference.
Palmer said the lottery
proposal did little but "plant
hasty patches on an already
patchwork system." Any
system of forced service to
the government "seriously
endangers human freedom,"
he said.
Hawk said sincerely
motivated reform of the draft
would "abolish the student
deferments that compel the
sons of the poor, the black,
the working class to fight the
war that the sons of the
middle class so loudly protest
while remaining safely
behind academic and oc
cupational deferments."
Drafting the 19-year-olds
first, he said, "will no more
diffuse college antiwar pro
test than removing General
(Lewis) Hershey (as Slective
Service Director) affected
student participation in the
Oct. 15 moratorium."
Disenchantment in the high
schools would increase, he
said.
Siegel, who led Berkeley
students into a confrontation
with police over the People's
Park issue last school year,
said the administration's
legislation is insufficient
because it contains no pro
visions for federal regulation
of local draft boards, which
he said have acted in an
"arbitrary" manner, often
times denying registrants
their rights.
While many are optimistic
about the lottery's chances
for approval by the House, it
is almost certain the Senate
will postpone action.

The purpose of building the
Micro Ocean is to "find out if
nature can be simulated by
controlling the variables of
tides, marine life, and light.
The project, now still in the
planning stages, will consist
of building a 10'x5'x5' tank.
The tank will be constructed
of marine plywood on two or
three sides. At least one side
will be glass to enable
onlookers to see the pro
cesses of the ocean. If there
is enough money, two sides
will be made of glass.
Along with the actual tank
there will be a tidal pool
located inside the tank. A
filtering system and a pump
system will flush sea water
at regular intervals into the
tidal pool.
Water will then difuse from
the tidal pool into the rest of
the ocean with the help of
gravity. It is this complex
system which will simulate
oceanic tides.
The tank has a 900 gallon
capacity; the tidal pool holds

Nixon Plan to End War
The University chapter of

a resolution backing Presi

to end the war.
The resolution says that

about thirty gallons, approx

The water in the ocean will
be tap water with salt and
other chemical additives.
Marine plants will be of the
sort found in the tidal pools
of the Gulf of Mexico. Small
fish and marine in
vertebrates have been chosen
to represent the animal
kingdom.
They were chosen because
they are hardy and relatively
less expensive than larger
animals, according to
Mobley. Also necessary is a
lighting system. The lighting
system will be constructed so
that it dispenses light in
much the same way as the
sun.
The estimated cost of
building the tank is $300. This
estimate does not include the
purchasing of any marine
animals, plant life, or pump
and filtering parts. The
group is also hoping to
recruit interested in

plan to Vietnamize the war
so that victory, with peace,
may be gained by the gallant
people who have so long
fought to maintain their

Student Appeals
ROTC Grade
Continued from page 1
According to Katskee, the
results of this evaluation
were received in early May.
The evaluation said that he
was restricted from all
physical duty for three to six
months. At the end of that
time he was to be re
evaluated to determine
whether he should continue
the program or be medically
discharged.
After this report Col. Wiens
summoned Katskee and
stated that he had given him
"every benefit of the doubt"
on his physical. The Colonel
then said that perhaps the
solution was to give him an
incomplete grade for failure
to participate in drill,
Katskee added.
He continued that he was
finally given a D plus and a
D for semester grades in the
first year advanced course
largely because he could not
attend the drill portion of the
coarse.
In a letter dated June 9,
1969, Katskee wrote to
Nebraska Senator Roman
Hruska and asked his advice
on the matter. Hruska in
quired into the situation with
Fifth Army and sent the
Army's reply to Katskee.
In this letter, the Fifth
Army command said that
information from the
Nebraska professor of
Military Science indicated
that Katskee was not
disenrolled from ROTC
because of medical reasons
or because, of his absence
from classes.
The letter continued that
Katskee was disenrolled
because of his failure to
maintain a passing grade in
leadership laboratory and his
lack of officer potential.
Katskee was given continu
ing counseling by the Pro
fessor of Military Science but
had an apparent lack of
motivation, the letter said.

Nebraskan that Katskee was
invited in a letter dated Oct.
22. 1969, to present his cast
before the standing com
mittee on academic appeals
of the ROTC department.
Major Willey explained
that the grade review com
mittee was set up in ac
cordance with the Student in
the Academic Community
document.
Katskee has not chosen to
use this review board,
however, Willey said. "He
has not attempted to present
his case to the depavtment
through normal campus
procedures, he continued.
He added that ROTC
department records show
Katskee's grade was not af
fected by his inability to at
tend lab. Even if this factor
had been considered, it could
have affected the final grade
no more than fifteen per
cent, he said.
In answer to another point.
Willey said that It is standard
procedure to convene a
Board of Officers to examine
the facts when a cadet Is
being considered for
disenrollment. He explained
that these boards are not
judicial or punitive In nature.
They merely gather the facts
in the case.
"We dont take a man out
of the 'program without
knowing the full particulars
of the case," Willey com
mented. Dean of Student Affairs G.
Robert Ross said that any
student who is unhappy with
a grade may appeal it to the
grade review committee of
the department involved. Ii
the student wishes, the
decision of this committee
may be appealed to a college
appeal committee.
Ross said that in the case
of ROTC the decision of a
review committee would be
reviewed by the committee
of the college of the student's
major.
