t rally
j By Mary Jo Pitzl
J Mixed reactions greeted the anti-draft rally Friday,
Ranked by the Progressive Student Union. Shouts of
otest and bursts of applause punctuated the presenta
5ns outside the Nebraska Union. N
Al Krause, a sophomore broadcast journalism major,
d he does not support the draft but would "most
sly" register and serve because of the potential jail pen
y for refusing conscription.
"There's; a part of my religion that states I'm not
posed to kill anybody," Krause, a Methodist, said.
;fThe threat of a jail sentence also would affect soph
r ore Randy Zurfluh's attitude toward the draft. The art
ication major said he doesn't support the draft but
ether he would serve "depends if they'd throw me in
!." .. ,
Jerry Hay ward, a junior in chemical engineering, and
if Castle, a sophomore in art education, said they would
ister if the draft should be enacted.
Junior theater and speech major Dennis "Dexter"
Jams response was to'the point when asked if he would
gister for the draft: ' - - '
"Of course not. If the draft comes into being and they
send out cards, I wouldn't send mine back," he said.
The former Army volunteer said he doesn't support
any type of military action.
"I don't think anyone should be a warrior anymore,"
he said.
Dressed in Army fatigues, his face striped with red and
white paint and sporting sunglasses, Adams said he dressed
"to make people stop, look and listen."
Carol Ringenberg, a junior home economics major, said
she would register for the draft if necessary.
'This is going to seem really big-o American," she said
when explaining her reasoning, "but all my family is here
and I feel obligated -well, not obligated. . ." She explain-,
ed that a sense of loyalty to her country would motivate
, her to register) .- '
Another female in the crowd, Gayle George, said, she
supposes she would register, but admitted she hadn't given
the subject much thought. ; '
The Equal Rights Amendment would have to be passed
before conscription of , women takes place, she said. If
women are asking for equality, that must include the
draft, the Psychology Dept. secretary said.
