Mortar Boards? They sure as hell aren't Innocents Emmett kelly may not know it but a chapter of the Youth International Party (Yippies) has formed at the University of ' Nebraska.

Liggett said this would probably . slow down when many seniors graduate from college in June. If a man's number has already been passed before he loses his deferment, he will be at the top of his board's list when he does iose it, Liggett said. "Each month a board is fill ing its call it goes back to number one and inducts those men who j ' have lost their deferments,' he added. He said that the pool of available men is constantly changing as men gain or lose deferments. A man can enlist in a regular armed forces unit up to the time he is actually inducted, tie added.

The Yippies believe that education should be subversive in that it should be a de e t h n o c e ntrizing process. "Education ought to be the enhancement of festivity and fantasy not its denegration," they said.
