Betty Tilley To Represent St. Andrews
As Best-Dressed Coed For Second Year
Petite and spry, Betty Tilley
dashed upstairs Into her room
on her way back from tutoring
with the St. Andrews Peace
Corps. Late for dinner, she
hardly had time to read the note
tacked on her door. A hurried
glance at the word, “congratu
lations” led her to read that she
had been chosen St. Andrews’
Best Dressed Girl on Campus
for the second consecutive year.
Betty, who is a senior this
year, will represent St. An
drews in the national contest
sponsored by GLAMOUR maga
zine. In its search for the
Best Dressed College Girl.
Betty was a semi-finalist In the
1967 GLAMOUR contest.
Students on campus selected
Betty as Its representative from
13 candidates nominated by the
dorms. Betty was “shocked”
and very surprised” to learn
that she had again been chosen
Best Dressed.
Betty is from Thessalonlka,
Greece where her father is a
tobacconist for the Liggett-
Meyers Company. She was born
in Turkey and finished high
school in Greece. She attended
the Chateau Munt-Choisi, a
finishing school in Switzerland,
before arriving at St. Andrews
as a freshman' in 1964.
Betty says that her taste in
dress “has changed with the
fashion trend. Its much more
feminine now with all the frills
and lace. This look makes a
girl look more like a girl.”
One doesn’t have to be a fash
ion analyst to see that Betty
surely fulfills the every de
mand of the new feminine look.
Asked if there were anything

chairman of the division of

phens College. He will speak at

Dr. Novak’s public lecture
Draft Protesters Views Freedom Concept
George Vlasits, a twenty-five
year old member of “The North
Carolina Committee Against the
War”, spoke to members of the
Christianity and Culture 400
program yesterday.
Vlasits centered his topic
around Individual Freedom and
the Draft proposing that con
scription is not consistent with
American ideals of individual
freedom.
Vlasits suggested that in
America today there is no ab
solute freedom, only partial
freedom at best. “Our consti
tution guarantees us freedom,
but a guarantee of freedom
means little without a choice of
a meanin^ul alternatives,” said
Vlasits.
He pointed that in 1917 the
concept of a conscripted mili
tia was a well debated topic
in Congress, but that today
the draft has apparently be
come an American institution.
He suggested the alternatives
posed to young men of draft
age today are inconsistent with
the supposed American ideal.
Conscientious objector classi
fication Is granted only on a
theological basis, and General
Lewis B. Hershey himself has
stated that, students should no
longer be deferred because it
is their desire to attend college,
but rather should be deferred
if they are to become spe
cialists useful to the govern
ment.
"The present draft law is an
unequal ‘class’document,” said
Vlasits. “There is discrimina
tion against minority groups.”
“Much of the cause for dis
sent against the present system
is based on a lack of knowledge
of Selective Service laws,” Vla
sits said. He noted that the Se
lective Service System does not
give out deferment information,
nor make a notlcable effort to
relate to an individual his rights
for defermant within the con
fines of the law.
He commented, “The direc
tive of General Hershey to re
classify draft protestors I’A
is an unjust punishment without
individual rights to trial by
jury. The Selective Service Sys
tem is not ruled by law, but is
an autonomy ruled by men.”
Local draft boards are pre
judice, he noted, for they are
mainly military men themsel
ves appointed directly by the
President. They seem to in
corporate the idea that “the only
was a person can serve his
motive of anti-draft protestors.
The anti-draft movement is es
sentially a coHege movement.”
Vlasits is presently faced
with a pair of alternatives;
obey the present draft laws
and cooperate by joining the
armed forces, or face a five
year prison sentence accom
panied by a fine of $10,000.
“I hope that the tough road
which lies ahead of me will
Influence authorities and make
it easier on those who, are to
follow my path.”
“The world needs a better
method of foreign policy than
with arms and warfare,” he
stated, “The present war in
Vietnam, of course, is a major
country is through the armed
forces.”

she would like to alter in to
day’s fashion, Betty answered
an affirmative, “I surely do.”
“I would love to abolish this
granny look that the new mid
calf fashions have produced.
They are ugly and are flatter
ing to no one.”

attorney^ will be published Feb

to resist may be aided in hav
ing all their rights that may
help them refuse induction into
the armed forces.” To this end
-he provides a simple guide to
the law, and an explanation of
all the grounds for deferment
or exemption.

Kilpatrick Speaks
James J. Kilpatrick, noted
columnist and former editor
of the Richmond News Leader,
spoke to members of the C&C
400 program last Friday morn
ing, and to members of the
campus community that after
noon.
Kilpatrick addressed seniors
on the topic "The Nature of
Freedom in An Increasingly
Regimented Society”. Concern
ing the present freedom of in
dividuals, he pointed to the
various problems of urban li
ving in our present society,
stressing that the rights of in
dividuals in the fields of com
munication, privacy, family,
and property management are
freedoms which are rapidly be
ing invaded by the government
and the process of urbaniza
tion.
With the expanding laws go
verning foreign travel, taxation,
etc., invasion of privacy is be
coming non-absolute. He pro
jects that in the 21st century,
car ownership and driving pri
vileges will be extremely limit
ed.
In the future there will be no
room for nonconformity. Free
dom as we now know it will not
be preserved. There will pre
vail a master economical plan
which will call for only speci
fied skills and job activities,
and the individuals as well as
the masses must conform to
this new concept of freedom.
