Odds are, the “typical” mem ber of the Class of 1967 is a woman who was bora in Ashe ville, graduated from Lee H. Edwards High School and majored at Asheville-Biltmore in history. But over half of the candidates for Bachelor of Arts degrees Saturday night don’t meet these qualifications. A profile of the Class of 1967 shows 28 women and 26 men are members with 20 of them natives of Asheville, two more natives of Buncombe County, seven oth ers born In Western North Car olina and five more bora else where in the state to make a total of 34 Tar Heel natives. Of the remainder, three were born in Florida, two each in New York, Illinois and Pennsyl vania and one each In Missis sippi, Alabama, Soutii Carolina, Massachusetts, Wisconsin, Indi ana, Michigan, Tennessee and Texas. One was born in Iran and one in Greece. The high school record shows 15 graduated from Lee H. Ed wards High School, five from Charles D. Owen, four from Enka and North Buncombe, and one each from St. Genevieve’s, Er win, Reynolds, Roberson, Bilt- more. West Buncombe and Sand Hill.

Pros, Cons Of Draft Eyed By Press (ACP) -- President Johnson recently canceled plans for this fall's college deferment tests in a move preliminary to a decision on whether to continue student deferments. The following edi torial from the STATE PRESS, Arizona State University, Tempe, looks at the pros and cons of the current and proposed draft sys tems. To university students, the most Important of the far-reach ing reforms proposed by the President’s special Commission on the Selective Service Is the discontinuation of under-gra duate deferments. Thus, students would receive the same draft consideration as factory work ers, file clerks, and ditch dig gers. Not surprisingly, this re commendation has not been met with universal glee. According to Joe College, a student is trying to better him self and make an Invaluable con tribution to his country as one of its Intellectual leaders. The poor wretch who Is either too stupid or too poor to make it too col lege is the logical draft choict, says Joe. Perhaps Joe is right, but he might get an argument from Poor Wretch. But avoid for the mo ment any value judgment con cerning who is the more logical draft choice and look at the pro posals objectively. The question of student defer ments is not black and white. Both the present system and the proposed reforms have advan tages. It Is necessary, there fore, to construct something of a balance sheet. On the credit side of the pre sent system Is the protection from the draft, at least tempor arily, of hundreds of students who sincerely seek a higher ed ucation and have the ability to make the most of It. The mili tary can offer them nothing, and they can offer the military little ^except a healthy serving of re- 'sentment at the imposition. Since being a student will not In Itself offer any favorable con sideration from the draft board, the draft dodger will find no ad vantage In expending the mini mum effort required to get through school and thus will not burden the university with his presence.
