Hot times in the
Draft counselors answer
by STEVE STRASSER
Nebraskan Staff Writer
At 7 p.m. on Sundays,
members of the Lincoln Draft
Information Service (LDIS)
gather around the furnace in
the basement of the United
Ministries in Higher Education.
Paul Newhouse more-or-less
chairs what he calls the group's
4 w e e k 1 y disorganization
meeting."
About fifteen people can fit
into the well-heated little office,
most of them sitting on the
floor. There is no agenda. If no
one can think of any LOIS
business, then they talk about
something else.
The meeting's pace soon
relaxes anyone who shows up
to talk about his draft problem.
But If a man is considering
conscientious objection, the
meeting can turn into a draft
board preparation session.
Questions are hurled at him
from all LDIS members.
"Would you protect your
friend from a perverse
assassin?"
"Would
you hit the
assassin?
"Would you kill him?"
When a man is through with
LDIS he knows what he wants,
why and how to get it, ac
cording to Kathy Cook, an ac
tive LDIS member. She said
the draft counselors' basic tool

is the Selective Service Law,
supplemented by the Selective
Service Law Reporter, a
manual which discusses the
latest cases and precedents ia
draft law application.
The service has handled 25
"official" cases, in which
counseling forms were filled
out, since the semester began.
Ms. Cook noted that
counselors "try to be objective
in presenting alternatives to
prospective draftees, even
though most counselors are
personally anti-draft."
Area high schools usually
have representatives at the
meetings. Tcm Paulson, an
East High senior, is satisfied
with the counselors' objectivity.
"We like to have them at our
student assemblies to talk
about alternatives," he said.
"They cover everything from
enlistment to prison."
Paulson said LDIS counselors
give a one-sided presentation
when on the same program as
Col. Lee Liggett, State Selec
tive Service Director. "They
stress things like conscientious
ob jection and Canada.
LDIS is sponsoring a Free
University course this semester
called "The Draft and You."

Ron Kurtenbach, an organizer
of the course, plans to provide
leadership similar to that
which characterizes the rest of
LDIS. "Nobody is really in
charge. It's completely open as
far as direction and objec
tives," he said.
My draft board "was very
good to me," he related. "I just
talked with them for 15 minutes
or so and they agreed I was a
conscientious objector."
Kurtenbach did alternate
service as a Vista supervisor to
New Jersey. "I was very naive
then," he admitted. "Two
policemen were giving me a
difficult time on a dark street
In Newark one night. I actnatry
asked them how I could go
about charging them with
assault."
He spent a night in jail but
that incident was not his last
experience behind bars. "I was
arrested for handing out
statements of draft options at
the State Fair this year,"
Kurtenbach said. "I thought I
was protected by the first
amendment, but the Fair
Board didn't."

But plays on words aren't

"Who could think of a more

wondered.
Fear not NROTC men
you can marry her now
In past years a Navy ROTC
scholarship student who wanted
to be married had two choices
he could either wait until he
graduated or marry anyway
and lose his scholarship.
Now NROTC students who
wed their girlfriends need not
fear losing their scholarships,
according to Ca.pt Herschei A.
Pahl, chairman and professor
of the Naval Science Depart
ment The policy' of not allowing
scholarship midshipmen to
marry was a carry over from
the Naval Academy and has
proved to be inappropriate in a
civilian university setting, Pahl
said.
He added that one student
who married last year and lost
his scholarship has now been
reinstated in the program.
Other NROTC changes such
as cross listing and more in
terdepartmental teaching of
certain Naval Science courses
are planned for next year, Pahl
said. The lecture sessions of
Naval Science 21 and Manage
ment 31 will be combined in the

There should be an army only

In another department
change students can now take
NROTC courses, but not com

of their senior year,, Pahl add

"This gives the student the
chance to complete almost all
of his ROTC requirements
before committing . Jtumself to
service, y he added. '
The Department of, the Navy
is also revising a list pf subject
areas that midshipmen have
not been Allowed to major in.
This list restricted , students,
according to Pah, since many
agricultural Kttd. professional
majors wcv prohibited. .
"The; revisions were the
result of several years of study
and icommendatiens, the
Navy captain commented. "We
hope to continue to make
changes to benefit both the
student and the program.

couldn't be too concerned about
a candidate who ran for office
six times and on the seventh
forgot to file". Callan had to
put his name on the ballot by
petition because he missed the
normal filing date.
Burrows said it would be
"false" to make peace a major
campaign issue since a con
gressman is limited in what he
can do about the war. He also
said ft is a dangerous subject
for a politician because opinions
are very divided on Vietnam.
In spite of his caution, he
noted that the McGovern
timetable for Vietnam
withdrawal might be
"reasonable".
He said he dislikes the draft
but fears a professional army
could get out of control.
Although he believes In a
strong defensive system he said
we must stop "wrapping a flag
around any military ap
propriation and passing it"
" Burrows admitted he was an
underdog but pointed out that
his campaign of personal con
tact with voters may pay big
dividends. Jim Ilmnlicek, his
campaign manager announced
plans to rebuild the Peterson
organization and canvass the
district.
