Cincinnati, Ohio -- (I. P.)--
A total of 7,750,000 students,
an increase of about 3.3% are
enrolled this fall in the na
tion's colleges and universi
ties, according to Dr. Garland
G. Parker, University of Cin
cinnati vice provost for admis
sions and records and a nation
al authority on collegiate en
rollments.
As harbingers of future total
enrollments, Incoming fresh
men numbers are always signi
ficant. Dr. Parker estimates
that there are nearly one mil
lion freshmen, an Increase of
almost 4%, in the four-year
accredited colleges and univer
sities and their affiliated two-
year units. He indicated that
there are about two million new
freshmen.
“With the apparent softening
of the Vietnam situation and the
consequent easing of the mil
itary draft pressure, we can
expect a resurgence of graduate
and professional enrollments
next year,” Dr. Parker said.
And he added, “theburgeon
ing two-year colleges will pro
vide even more students at the
upper division level for the
four-year schools and senior
colleges to accommodate in the
years ahead."
Programs for recruition dis
advantaged students, espe
cially blacks, and the continued
demand for trained people also
account for some enrollment
rises, he reported.
“Population data, along with
buoyant social and economic
pressures, indicate that col
leges and universities will con
tinue to need increasing support
in terms of facilities, faculty,
and finance In the decade of the
70»s.»
the decisions made, but the ma
jor aim Is the student body as
a whole.
Decisions were made con
cerning the type of food ser
vices to be offered in the new
lounge, patio and recreation
areas, furniture arrangement,
study areas, and a meeting
room for clubs and commit
tees.
The main purpose of the
meeting was to reach a decision
on what kind of food service
the lounge is to offer. The
question that confronted the
committee was whether to have
across-the counter service or
vending machines. After
much discussion, pro and con,
vending machines were se
lected.
Vending machines were
chosen mainly because the
pipes and fixtures for the ma
chines can be installed more
easily during construction of
the building than after it is
completed. If the futurebrings
about the across-the-counter
service, it will not be as hard
to install.
President Erwin suggested
that a patio be built on the
southeast end of the building.
He added that picnic tables and
ping pong tables could be placed
in this area for the stu-
dentf enjoyment. It could al
so serve as an extra eating
locality.
The question of recreation
facilities such as pin-ball ma
chines, pool table, and “juke"
box, was discussed. Unanimous
approval of these facilities
was expressed. Placement of
the facilities was undeterm
ined but they could be placed
in the northwest corner of
the lounge.
Arrangement of furniture,
lounge chairs, sofas, and
the type of eating tables was
brou^t up. Also discussed at
this time was the addition of
' individual study areas similar
to those in the library for stu
dents’ convenience- These
questions were discussed and
confirmed If space allows.
Mr. Erwin added that the
lounge _ plans show more
space than originally thou^t.
Space was appropriated for a
meeting room for the different
clubs and committees.
A unanimous vote favored
a permanent wall for the SGA
office Instead of folding doors.
Discussion was left open as to
whether the wall in the club
and committee room would be
stationary of removable (slid
ing doors)-

Many questions have arisen
concerning the random selec
tion procedures of the Selec
tive Service System. Local
Board #97 of Wayse County has
provided the following ques
tions and answers concerning
the new system:
Q. I am 18 years old and
will not be 19 until after De
cember 31, 1969. Do I have a
selective service random se
quence number?
A. No. Your random se
quence will be determined by
the first drawing held after you
become 19.
Q. Once I received a random
sequence number, will this
number change from year-to-
year as new drawings are held?
A. No.
Q. I am 20 years of age,
currently deferred in Class II-
A. My deferment will termi
nate In June 1970. What will be
my liability after the termina
tion of my deferment?
A. If you are placed in I-
A and found to be acceptable
for military service, you will
be placed at the top of the a-
vallable list, provided your
number was reached while you
were deferred. If your num
ber was not reached while you
were deferred, you will be
placed in a lower priority
group, whether you were de-
ferr^ until June 1970 or for
the entire year.
Q. I am a 22-year-old stu
dent classified n-S. Because of
my high random sequence num
ber, I wish to be classified
in I-A rather than n-S. How
can I get a I-A classification?
A. You will remain in n-S
as long as the reason for your
deferment exists. Your local
board was obligated to classify
you in n-S, since this was the
lowest classification for which
you qualified. However, if
your local board receives evi
dence from your school that you
have ceased to be a satisfactory
full-time student because you
have withdrawn, graduated,
terminated your enrollment, or
became a part-time student,
then your local board will have
a basis to reclassify you from
n-S.
Q. My randon sequence num
ber is 262. I have heard that
my chances of being called for
induction during 1970 are slim.
A. There is no way to de
termine when any registrant in
I-A, who is subject of random
selection, will be called for
induction.
Q. I was ordered for in
duction to report in December
1969. My local board postpon
ed my induction until February
1970. Does the lottery affect
me?
A. No. Unless there is some
reason for your being deferred,
you should expect to report on
the date in February that the
local board advised you to re
port. The lottery does not af
fect the status of any registrant
who is ordered to report for
induction. When the original
reporting date is prior to Jan
uary 1, 1970.
Q. SuppoM I transfer for
Induction and the boardl trans
fer to orders me to report in
January 1970?
A. Your case is just like
that of a postponed registrant.
You will be expected to report
for Induction as ordered by the
transfer board.
Q. I am registered with a
local board in North Carolina.
Will my local board send me a
notification of my random se
quence number?
A. No. You can determine
your random sequence number
from charts published In the
newspaper and posted In local
board offices.
Q. What effect does the ran
dom selection method have on
deferments?
A. Local board deferment
policies are not affected by the
random sequence method of se
lecting re^strants for induc
tion.
Q. When will there be anoth
er random sequence drawing?
A. Plans call for a drawing
to be held during each calendar
year, but no date has been set
for the drawing to be held
during 1970.
Q. Has the random selec
tion system caused any changes
to be made in classification
regulations, policies, and
procedures?
A. No.
Q. I am 19 years old and
in I-A. If I stay in I-A all of
1970 and my random sequence
number is not reached dur
ing 1970, how will it affect
me?
A. Whether you are in I-A
or in some deferred classifi
cation, if your numlaer is not
reached you will be placed in
a lower priority category.
Q. I have just been placed
In Class I-A, but will be 26
years of age in March 1970.
If I request personal ap
pearance and appeal, will I still
be subject to induction If I
reach age 26 before my ap
peal is settled?
A. Yes, if your random se
quence number is reached be
fore you become 26 of age. No,
If your random sequence num
ber is not reached prior to
your 26th birthday.
Q. I have a H-A classifi
cation which terminates in
August 1970. I will be 26 years
of age in May 1970. What hap
pens to me when my occtq)atlon-
al deferment terminates?
A. You will be placed in a
lower category whether or not
your number Is reached, and
you would be called only if po
licy changed.
