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.
