Of Whom; Draft ' Will (Gall:
What are the odds on finding
yourself in military uniform
either because you are drafted
or because you volunteer for
regular or reserve duty after
a glance over your shoulder at
the draft board?
Selective Service headquar-
This is part one of a
seven-part series by Asso
ciated Press writer Elton
Fay on the draft and re
cruit programs of the U.S.
armed forces as they are
during the present accele
rated situation. The entire
series will appear in this
week's Daily Tar Heel.
ters has in its files some sta
tistics which give a clue.
At the beginning of 1966
more than 31 million men were
registered, with over 130,000
more being added each month.
This big total, of course, in
cludes millions over the 19-to-25
year age group now being
drafted. And it' also embraces
other millions deferred or ex
empted. In the "qualified" category
(this means 1-A and 1-A-0, the
latter being conscientious ob
jectors available for non-combatant
service) about 1.5 mil
lion were on hand at the start
of the year.
FIGURING IT
Selective Service figures it
this way:
At the age of 26, of each 10
who have registered, six are
or have been serving in the
.regular Army, Navy, Marines
or Air Force or in National
Guard or reserve units.
The other four did not serve
because they failed to meet

the more likely he is to be

The average age for being

It's possible to draft ,a man

INDIAtf SUMMER, By John
Knowles, New York Random
House. 243 pages. $4.95. ,
By J. A. C. DUNN
From Charlotte Observer
John Knowles, a former UNC
.,writer-in-residence,l it appears
shrinking r . ..,.'-r..-
"a vpnarato Keapfl'- nis iir-
st novel, was excellent. A mod
ern "Stalky," people said. A
successor to "Catcher in the
Rye," people said. Great ex
pectations. Knowles' next two books. car
ried less impact. Some of the
bloom came off the liteary
rose. Now "Indian Summer"
has barely enough power to
, blow a feather off your palm.
Whatever happened to John
Knowles?
"Indian Summer" reminds
you of a term paper by an
undergraduate bored with the
assignment. Its protagonist, an
ex-GI named Cleet, is not
memorable. He doesn't even
arouse concern. He is boring.
He does not live: he is merely
chronicled.
Knowles does not breathe
upon Cleet; he writes about
him, from a distance, as
though he neither knew nor
liked him very well.
At first you think Knowles

been in controversy arising
out of demonstrations protest
ing the Viet Nam war. The
law makes a student eligible
for deferment until graduation
from college, provided he goes
to school full time and his
grades are satisfactory. Se
lective Service lets the local
boards decide whether he is
really working at his educa
tion or just using it to keep
out of the service.
A young man reaching 18
years is required to register
with his local board (there is
one in about every community
and the address usually ap
pears in telephone director
ies) within five days after he
becomes 18. Registration i s
easy.
Better do like the Selective
Service law says. The maxi-

provisions of the law is five ed steel, even down to the

McNAMARA SAYS
Arid, as Defense Secretary
Robert S. McNamara told Con
gress early in 1966:
"We cannot look forward to
discontinuance of the draft in
the coming decade unless
changing world conditions per
mit the reduction of our regn
lar forces substantially below
the levels which have proved
necessary since the beginning
of the Korean war."
So don't count on wars going
out of style and the need for
selective service or volunteer
enlistment ending. We'll talk
about volunteering tomorrow.
