nts favor draft
registrat
ion plan
By Lynn Mongar
Five UNL students interviewed Mon
day said they would register for a possi
ble draft, if Congress completes action on
a measure that would allocate $13.3 mil
lion to fund the registration process.
The Senate passed the measure last
Thursday, which would register about 4
million 19-and 20-year-old men in prepa
ration for a possible resumption of the
draft. The House had approved the regis
tration plan, but still must act on an
amendment the Senate added to the leg
islation. In January, President Carter re
quested the resumption of the peacetime
draft registration in response to the
Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Four of
the students interviewed agreed that the
draft registration would be a firm re
sponse to the Iranian crisis and Afghani
stan. However, Clark Nelson, a senior
chemical engineering major, questioned
whether the draft registration is a firm
message to would-be aggressors.
"I think we need to concentrate more
on technology than on manpower. He
said that if war developed, it would be a
nuclear war, and probably would not in
volve soldiers. Nelson also said he
thought the United States lags behind
the Soviet Union in war technology.
If war developed, Nelson said, he
would go, but reluctantly.
"I wouldn't want to leave the coun
try,' he said.
Denny Jorgenson, 19, a sophomore ac
counting major, said he thought the re
sumption of the draft registration will
demonstrate that the United States "still
can raise an army."
"The rest of the country will feel a lit
tle more secure," he said.
John Richardson, 20, a junior broad
casting major, said he does not think that
the resumption of draft registration in-
creases we pussiuuiuy tur wu.
"My brother was registered and he
was never drafted.
"It doesn't mean that I'm automati
cally going to be drafted.
"But," he said, "if the need arises then
well be ready."
He also said he would favor everyone
serving a "year or two," in some govern
ment agency.
John Tawzer, 20, a junior business
major, also said he would register for the
draft.
"It's a pride booster, and a military
strength booster," he said.
"I see it as an act of pride. It doesn't
mean that we're going to war."
Tawzer said the draft registration will
prepare the United States for a possible
war, and "show other countries we have
some guts."
Marty Adams, 20, a marketing major,
said he favors the draft registration.
"I believe in the saying that there is
peace in strength.
"I think foreign powers are likely to be
more aggressive if the United States
takes a passive attitude."
However, at least one student group,
the Progressive Student Union, is op
posed to the registration process. PSU or
ganized a demonstration in February
against the draft registration. But, a
PSU spokeperson said that the group has
not met since May, and no plans have
been made to protest the Congressional
measure.
An off-campus group, Nebraskans for
Peace, is discussing possible protests
against the draft registration.
Nebraskans for Peace spokesperson,
Betty Olson said she thought the draft
registration is a step toward war.
"I agree with (Republican Sen. Mark
Hatfield of Oregon) that it will send a
signal to the Soviet Union that we are a
divided people. It's meaningless and it in
terferes with the lives of thousands of
young people."
