resistance. Only a portion of those were
convicted, he said, and none served lull
sentences when convicted.
Rinne said his figures come from the
Draft Resistance Handbook published by
the Committee Against Registering for the
Draft.
( nances poor
Rinne also said the chances of police
or government officials finding registration-dodgers
are "astronomically poor."
"The police aren't going to come out
looking for you because they don't know
who you are," he said .
Putting your name on registration lists
is the only ua police can locate you, he
said. Put a name on a registration list be
comes a name on a dial't list, and event
ually a name on a war list, he added.
The group received its ad-hoc organ
ization status about three weeks ago,
Kinne said. They presently have five mem-bers--the
number required to receive the
ad - hoc status.
When asked how the group plans to
oppose registration, Rinne said "'publi
ly." The group's purpose at this time is
to increase student awareness, he said.
Opposition needed
The attitude at UNI. toward draft reuis
(ration is presently negative, according t(,
Rinne.
"J hey don't want to go because tlicv
don't want to the. And that's an argumeiii
dial's hard to find fault with," he Silhi
He said the government purposely ie
icruits those 20-years-old and younuei be-',
cause they don't know what they .lie
fighting for.
He said that if anyone should jo -
should" because he is J 5 and knows 'ulu;
is going on.
"'Put I won't go, hell no. abd ilui
why they wouldn't ask me. They know
they can get naive 1 X-year-olds."
He added that government doesn't
want to send anti-war persons ihioimh
boot camp. They want "eom
pliants who want a midnight bomb on
Iran," he said.
Rinne, a graduate student, is an ASI
Senator and member of University Stu
dents for Educational Development.
