2 The Tar Heel Thursday, July 24, 1980 news draft from page 1 One of the biggest demonstrations was in New York City, where hundreds marched outside and milled around inside the General Post Office opposite Madison Square Garden. . 1 "A student at the University would give his University address, his permanent address and his current telephone number. Then, he is to date and sign the form in the presence of a postal clerk," Cassell said. A postal clerk will ask for identification to verify the identity of the registrant, Cassell said. According to Cassell, registrants should come into the post office, ask for the card from the clerk, fill it out and bring it to the window. No receipt will be given, although an acknowledgement letter will be sent to each person who registers, Cassell said. "It is an in person type of thing," Cassell said "Joe i can't go down there and pick up five or six cards for ' his buddies. They will have to go in person. i "W e are going to handle things as orderly as we can, 1 Cassell said. "Obviously, there's going to be a lot of j people involved." r Staff photo by Sharon Cteke Russell Ryan registering for draft .men born in 1961 begin Monday There were no nationwide figures on the number of people signing up or the number of demonstrators. Officials at post offices generally reported a light turnout both of registrants and protesters. The protesters made no attempt to imertere with registrants. "We are not here to be provocative," said Paul Mayer, a spokesman for Coalition Against Conscription, sponsor of the demonstration. Steve Wolf, 20, walked around the demonstrators to sign up. "If there was a solid answer to stop war and bring about peace I wouldn't register," he said. "They're not coming up with a better answer. So how can I follow them?" About 80 protesters were outside the post office in Louisville, Ky., displaying placards urging registrants: "I want you to think before youregister" for the draft." Rodney Wayne Brown, 20, said, however, that he wouldn't mind being drafted. "I can't find a job and it's no good being out on the streets," he said. Kevin Foust, 20, was first in line at the post office in Greenville, Pa., about 70 miles north of Pittsburgh. "I'm for it 100 percent," said Foust. "I think it's more or less my duty to sign up." protest from page 1 around. I think that the protest (against Vietnam) started like this 20 years ago, and by the time it got into the march on Washington I think it had a decisive effect (on government action)" Chapel Hill Town Council member Joe Henenberg said the draft would not affect him ''and never had. Nevertheless, he was keeping vigil Monday. "It's the principle of the matter," he said. "There's a lot of talk that people my age (who were involved in Vietnam) are not concerned any more or have changed their minds." He was present as a reminder that this was not so, he said. While the picketers stood before the post office, registration went on uninterrupted. "I feel it's my obligation as a citizen," said one student. "I enjoy the freedom of the United States so if the necessity comes. . .somebody has got to do it." He said he was talking about a defensive war. Not all young Americans registering were so willing. "If they didn't have the penalties,! wouldn't have registered," said one. "I had no choice." The rally Monday was organized by a War Resisters League-affiliated group called the People Against Registration. It is a coalition of various groups, said its leader, Bill Cecil Fronsman. Also present at the rally were members of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom, and a University-recognized group. The UNC group, which at present is reorganizing and formerly was known as the Mobilization Against the Draft and Imperialist Wars group, was the most vocal of the three. One of the spokesmen, Chris Kueny, set fire to a draft registration form amid shouts of approval. "This is the registration form and I think there's only one thing that should be done with it," he told those watching. The People Against Registration group said it is concerned only with fighting the draft. "We have 120 people signed up to work shifts at various post offices during the two weeks of registration," Cecil-Fronsman said.
