Court suit planned against draft lottery Arf, arf, slurpl t Madison, Wise. (CPS) A suit has been filed in the U.S. District Court in Madison, Wisconsin, seeking to overturn the draft lottery held last December claiming it was not random. District Court Judge James Doyle declined to issue a restraining order as was sought by the group filing suit. However, he also declined to dismiss the suit as was re quested by government at torneys, saying that he sees a discrepancy between the sup posedly random selection ordered by the president and the actual result of the draw ing. The lawyer for the 13 plain, tiffs named in the suit, David Ileitzman, said this indicated the suit was "obviously not frivolous." He characterized the case to date by saying "we're still in the discovery ., stage" and are seeking "positive evidence" that the lottery was not random. ! IIEITZMAN was to have . come to Selective Service . headquarters in Washington January 22 to obtain deposi tions from various members of ' the Selective Service. A deposition is a testimony that is received while a clerk of the court is present to record it of ficially. Ileitzman indicated that the procedure can be roughly compared to cross-examining a witness. Ileitzman indicated that he intended to talk with Col. Charles Fox and Capt. William Pascoe, public information director, and possibly General Lewis Hershey, Selective Service director. Plans were also being made to film a reenactment of the process us ed to "randomize" the lottery for evidence in the suit. When CPS contacted Pascoe at Selective Service head quarters January 19, he said ' . Doncfl to "ft NlM Mem Show end Danct Band if Tt "BIG BRASS" Sound "tr 00 Danctobl.

He also declined to speculate what the implications would be if the lottery was over-turned. He said he was not a lawyer and not even sure what all the legal terms such as restraining order and in junction meant. David Stodolsky, one of the plaintiffs in the suit and graduate student at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, ran the analysis on the lottery that indicated more men with birthdays from January to June received "safer" numbers than did those born in the other months. HE SAID he became In terested in the lottery when he looked at a partial analysis compiled by a staff member in the university computer center. He became convinced that the lottery was not random when he conducted a more thorough analysis. Stodolsky drew number 47 in the lottery, but says this has nothing to do with the suit. ft r Read Nebraskan Waul Ads Evert conservative profs rebel against smear tactics on term papers.
