Youngest Would Be Most Eligible In Proposed Draft Lottery
WASHINGTON
(UPI)-President Nixon
proposed a broad reform of the
draft Tuesday, calling for a
lottery system of selection
which would make the
youngest men most vulnerable.
Under his plan, their
maximum vulnerability to the
draft would last for one year
only between age 19 and
20-rather than for the seven
years from age 19 to 26, during
which the draft hangs over the
heads of eligible youths today.
in a special message to
Congress, Nixon put aside until
"more stable world
conditions" prevail his
campaign pledge for replacing
the draft with an all-volunteer
Army. In the meantime, he
said, "we must do everything
we can to limit the disruption
caused by the system and to
make it as fair as possible."
At the core of the
President's proposal is a system
of random selection so that
chance would determine which
of the 19-year-olds would be
drafted and which would be
bypassed.
Some system like that is
necessary, White House aides
explained, because each year
another 600,000 men turn 19
but the Army needs only half
that many as long as
enlistments keep up at their
present pace.
Under Nixon's proposal, the
calendar year would be
scrambled each year so those
19-year-olds born on June 19
might be drafted first, followed
by those born on Feb. 2 or
Nov. 2, dates selected at
random.
But for the first year, all
eligibles would be lumped
together, regardless of age so
that those who are now above
20 would not escape
vulnerability by virtue of the
changeover.
, Nixon told Congress:
"The present draft
arrangements make it
extremely difficult for most
young people to plan
intelligently as they make some
f the most important
decisions of their lives,
decisions concerning
education, career, marriage and
family. Present policies extend
a period during which young
people come to look on
government processes as
particularly arbitrary."
The President - said the
reforms he -" proposed were
"sound from a military
standpoint, since younger men
are easier to train and have
fewer family responsibilities."
The only legislative change
the Nixon plan required was
for authority to choose
draftees by lottery. The
Defense Department said the
White House had authority to
go to a system of drafting the
youngest eligibles first but had
not done so because no legal
method existed for making this
completely fair and equitable.
The President proposed
retention of deferments for
under graduate college students
and permitting graduate
students to complete the full
academic year during which
they are first ordered for
induction rather than just the
term. But graduate students
would not be eligible for
further deferment.

The majority of the points
presented in the first meeting
of the trustees' newly formed
subcommittee on student
disorders "disagreed with
student judicial procedures on
this campus," said Alan
Albright, student body
president, Tuesday.
Archie Davis, subcommittee
member, outlined the ideas the
committee has been discussing
at a meeting Tuesday
afternoon.
Albright said, "To my way
of thinking, the suggestions
were counter to the tradition
of this campus."
S Albright emphasized that
"the tradition of this campus
has been instituted by the
students, and I feel this is the
best system.
"Any system must have a
broad base, and students
WRC Makes
Specific Fire
Drill Rulings
The Women's Residence
Council unanimously passed a
mandatory fire drill policy
Monday night.
Fire drills will be limited to
two a semester to meet
minimum insurance
requirements. They will be
held in the first month of each
semester after closing hours. -Under
the new policy,
attendance is mandatory ,
except for students with ;
self-limiting hours. A Rules
Committee meeting will be
held Friday morning to discuss
penalties for those who violate
the regulation.
Article three of the policy to
have the specific day of the
drill announced was deleted by
a 14-6 vote.
Stress was placed on the
need for drills as a safety
precaution and not a punitive
measure.
Gamma Sigma Sigma,
women's service sorority, was
unanimously endorsed in its
petition for colony status.
"We feel there is a real need
for the organization. The girls
have already proved their
worth with outstanding help
during the Campus Chest

judgment on their peers,"
Albright said.
President Friday said "The
purpose of the meeting was to
get ideas on what, if anything,
is heeded in the handling of
specific incidents concerning
student disorders."
Friday said he does not
believe additional statutory
regulation is necessary, but
administration, faculty, and
students working together
should be able to work out
new procedures among
themselves to handle disruptive
activities.
The work of the
subcommittee should be
limited to strict application of
the disruptive offense, Friday
added.
Another meeting in the near
future is scheduled with the
entire membership of the
University Faculty Council
which is composed of
chancellors from each of the
campuses as well as elected
members of the faculty.

With Exams Fast Approaching, Everyone Is Feeling The Pressure.
By DENNIS BENFIELD
DTH News Editor
An advisory committee to
the Chancellor gave the South
Campus bus system a vote of
confidence Tuesday by
deciding to recommend a
monthly subsidy for its
extension next fall.
John McMurray, student
representative, on the
Chancellor's Advisory
Committee on Traffic and
Safety and chairman of the
Student Transportation
Commission, said the
committee voted 5-3 to
recommend a subsidy of
$3,000 per month, not to
exceed $27,000 a year, to
extend the service until
women's closing hours.
The recommendation,
according to McMurray,
Campus . Unresjl S tudy Here
contains a proposal to review
the whole bus system after 60
days of the fall semester.
Chancellor J. Carlyle
Sitterson will receive the
recommendation soon for
consideration.
"We hope to know the
Chancellor's decision by the
end of the exam period," said
McMurray, "but we're not sure
when he will act."
The system, if accepted, will
provide bus service from 7:30
a.m. until women's closing
hours Monday through Friday
and from 10 a.m. until closing
hours on Saturday and Sunday.
The extension proposal has
drawn support from the
Student Legislature, the Office
of the Dean of Men, the
Women's Residence Council,
the Residence College
Federation, the Student
Transportation Commission
and the Daily Tar Heel.
McMurray said there are
four basic reasons in favor of
the extended run:
It would provide
transportation for coeds at
night.
It would help deal with the
parking problem on a
long-range basis.
It would make living on
South Campus more desirable,
thus helping to reduce the
number of vacancies in the
high-rise dormitories.
It would assist in the
development of the residence
college system.
The project was initiated
and is currently maintained by
Student Government in
cooperation with the
University Traffic and Safety
Committee.
Seeks Roots Of Violence

A case study on Campus
Unrest, part of a three-year
study conducted by the Bureau
of Social Science Research in
cooperation with the American
Council on Education (ACE),
will be held this week on
campus.
The study, which includes
35 personal interviews, 25 with
students, five with faculty
members and five with
members of the administration,
is administered for the Bureau
of Social Science Research by
Gubbi (Sachi) Sachidanandan,
a social psychologist on leave
from the State University of
New York.
According to information
accompanying each interview
the goal of the case study is to
contribute to a greater
understanding of the
phenomenon of campus unrest
and to generate hypotheses for
the larger scale quantitative
Workers 'Happy' With SAGA
Mrs. Elizabeth Brooks,
president of the UNC
Non-Academic Employees
Union, said Tuesday that the
workers are "really looking
forward to" the new food
service contract recently
announced.
An administration
spokesman reported Monday
that operation of the UNC
food services would be
relinquished to SAGA Food
Services of North Carolina Inc.,
as of May 19.
Mrs. Brooks said the
workers had met with food
service administrators Monday
afternoon to discuss the new
contract.
"They gave each of us a
copy of the contract and went
over it with us," she said.
When questioned about the
possibility of working under
private non-university
management, she said: "Other
people, particularly students,
have told us that they (SAGA)
are fine people to work for."
"The benefits in the
contract are good and everyone
is excited about it," said Mrs.
Brooks.
The contract stated that the
workers would be paid at the
same rate that they are now,
provided that they are
permanent full-time
employees.
"They (the other workers)
all like it and we're going to
stay on to see what happens,"
said Mrs. Mary Smith, another
spokesman for the workers'
union. -
analysis planned by the ACE.
The information lists the
general goals of the study in
terms of finding out the
"frequency and extent,"
"trends" and "immediate
future" of campus unrest. The
study will investigate what
accounts for individual
differences in protest behavior,
what environmental factors
account for individual
differences among institutions
in the frequency and severity
of protests that occur and if
administrative practices, size
and type of school, play
important roles in campus
unrest.
The study is being
conducted on 26 campuses
which were selected randomly.
Concerning UNC,
Sachidanandan said, "North
Carolina has one of the most
peculiar kinds of unrest. It
would be particularly
interesting for us to study this
institution since it was a labor
struggle where the students
came to the aid of the
workers."
Sachidanandan said that
charges that the study would
be used against student
activists or as an instrument to
screen out prospective activists
were "completely absurd."
"The Bureau of Social
Science Research is prepared to
go to jail rather than reveal any
information on any individual
or campus to anyone.
"My professional ethics
would not allow me to
participate in a project if
unethical methods were to be
used. As far as I'm concerned,
there isn't anyway anyone can
say that this information will
be turned over to any
organization, federal or not."
The official statement of the
bureau is: "We want to
maintain the autonomy of the
campus and of the individual.
The only reason we want the
student's name is for follow-up
questions. The face sheets (the
front page of the questionnaire
containing the name) will be
detached and stored in a
locked filing cabinet..
"Only the respondent's
serial number, which will be
stamped on the face sheet and
on the questionnaire form, will
link the respondent to his
responses.
"When the facesheets are no
longer needed for follow-up
questions or other scientifically
valid purposes, they will be
destroyed."
ADC Not Trying
To Destroy Intent
By AL THOMAS
DTH Staff Writer
The Academic Development
Committee (ADC) is not trying
to destroy the intent of
General College requirements,
only to improve on it,
according to Roger Thompson,
a committee member.
ADC is an ad hoc student
committee working with, the
Merzbacher Committee to
re-evaluate General College
requirements. Thompson is
also a member of the
Merzbacher Committee.
"The proposed distribution
requirements are aimed at
exposing students to different
bodies of knowledge,"
Thompson said Tuesday. "The
concept of the educated man
remains but in skeletal form."
The proposals would
eliminate foreign language,
math and physical education
requirements and replace them
with a distribution setup.
According to Thompson, a
student would have to choose
three courses in social sciences,
natural sciences and humanities
before graduation.
"We recognize the fact that
these three areas should be
included," Thompson said,
"but there should be a choice."
Thompson dded that
modern civilization and English
21 are not included because
they will probably be
eliminated anyway.
"One of the major criticisms
we receive," Thompson said,
"is that by destroying General
College requirements, you
throw away the guarantee that
students will be exposed to a
wide range of subjects. The
distribution system answers
this charge.
"ADC offers constructive
proposals and constructive
alternatives," Thompson said.
"This does not vary with the
concept of the educated man."
A booth will be set up in
front of the undergraduate
library between 10 a.m. and 1
pjn. today for students to sign
a petition calling for an end to
physical education, math and
foreign language requirements.
