Student Injury Prompts
Intramural Changes
By JIM ABBOTT
It was the third quarter in last
Tuesday’s intramural football
game between Alpha Sigma Phi
and Day Students I. John Midget
had just received a pass and was
heading towards the endzone for
an Alpha Sig touchdown when he
was suddenly knocked out of
bounds by Tony Herman a senior
on the Day student squad.
Midget was hit hard but the full
effects were not realized until
later when Midget began ex
periencing stomach cramps and
was taken to the hospital. Midget
was admitted to the hospital and
given a mild sedative. About 10
p.m. he went into shock and
three hours later one of his
kidneys was removed. A week
later John Midget was still
hospitalized but according to
hospital officials was in “good”
Draft Sets
125 As Cut-Off
The Selective Service System
today announced that Random
Sequence Number 125 would be
the ceiling for induction into the
military for young men in the
1971 first priority selection group
— that is, those registrants born
in 1951 or earlier who received
lottery numbers in 1970 or 1969
and are available for induction
during 1971.
The Department of Defense,
last week, announced a 10,000
draft call for the remainder of
1971. Draft Director Dr. Curtis
W. Tarr said that Selective
Service local boards would
deliver 6,500 of these men in the
period November 1-18 and the
remaining 3,500 in the period
November 29-December 9. Tarr
said that he has directed local
boards to give at least 30 days
notice to all registrants facing
the induction process incoming
months. Current draft
regulations require 10 days
notice.
Tarr said that the uniform
national call provision of the new
draft law assures every young
man in the 1971 group who is 1-A
and qualified with a RSN of 125
and below that he will receive an
induction notice in the near
future. Tarr pointed out that
Some of these men will enter the
Army in January, February or
March of next year because of
the extended liability provisions
of the Selective Service
regulations.
“Equity of treatment for all
registrants requires that all men
with RSNs of 125 or lower face
the induction process,” Tarr
said. RSN 125 was the ceiling for
inductions through June of 1971.
Tarr also said that he has
directed local and appeal boards
to defer all actions on
classification, personal ap
pearance, and appeals until new
regulations containing draft
reform provisions are effected.
The 1971 amendments to the
draft Jaw which were recently
^ssed by Congress require the
Selective Service System to
publish all regulation changes in
the Federal Register at least 30
^ys before they become ef
fective.
condition.
According to Francis Griffin,
head nurse at the College, this
was the worst injury since she's
been here to occur to a student
resulting from participation in
intramural athletics. Mrs.
Griffin went on to say that every
year a number of students are
brought to the informary with
injuries most of them requiring
a doctors care.
As a result of what happened
last Tuesday and the fact that as
one school official said “in
tramural football has just gotten
too far out of hand,” the In
tramural Council met last
Thursday night and took steps to
change the ACC intramural
Editor Cites
NCCU Head
In Press Suit
The Campus Echo, the student
newspaper at North Carolina
Central University has been cut
off from student funds by NCCU
President Dr. Albert N. Whiting.
Whiting’s action came because
of alleged discriminatory
statements in the first issue of
the paper.
Jae Joyner, student editor of
the Echo, said Whiting was
concerned about a statement in
the Sept. 20 issue saying the
paper would not accept ad
vertisements from white
businesses.
The statement was misleading
Joyner said that the editors had
intended to exclude ad
vertisements only from white
businesses which are not equal
opportunity employers.
Joyner said he told Pres.
Whiting the paper would retract
the statement and run an ex
planation of its intended
meaning. He said Whiting did
not accept the proposal.
Joyner, along with SGA
President Herbert White has
filed suit in North Carolina
District Court in Greensboro
naming Whiting as defendant,
both as an individual and as
representative of the University
administration.
The editor said the suit asks
only that the University restore
funds to the paper, and does not
request punitive action. He said
the suit also asks that school
officials “not be allowed to in
terfere with the content of the
paper in the future.” “I was very
surprised and disappointed with
Dr. Whiting’s actions,” Joyner
said, “I think much could have
been resolved if Dr. Whiting and
I talked before our funds were
suspended. The issue now boils
down to whether or not we as
students have a right to cridcize
the policies of the University in
our official publication.
Collegiate Errs
In last week’s article on the
SGA Executive Board meeting
we reported that Kathy Lilley
voted “yes” to keep the CCA
budget at $1000 and Martha
Morgan voted “no.” We were in
error and Lilley voted “no” and
Morgan voted “yes.”
program. The committee in
stituted a type of football known
as "Carolina football” in lieu of
the combination regular and flag
football heretofore played.
At another meeting of the
council held Monday night there
was much discussion concerning
the playing of “Carolina foot
ball.” Coach Corbin, advisor to
the council stated that, “since
we have a boy who has lost a
kidney, it is the consensus of the
Health and P. E. Department
and the administration officials I
talked with that we do away with
that type of football we’ve been
playing and institute “Carolina
football” rules and regulations."
All of the teams represented,
except Waters II, decided they
were not interested in playing
“Carolina tag football," con
sequently Waters II was
declared this season's in
tramural football champions
and the season declared
finished.

Blood-Sucking
Thriller To
Be Presented
Theatre-goers who enjoy a
quick-fire procession of super
quality thrills, surprises,
shudders and sensations cannot
afford to miss seeing “Dracula,”
the mystery of mysteries, that
Director Paul H. Crouch has
selected as the first sproduction
of the season. This thriller is a
dramatization of Bram Stoker’s
novel of the same name,
originally published in England
many years ago. “Dracula,” is a
real thriller that, speaking
literally, has raised hair on
millions of scalps since the date
of its original production in
England.
Lucy Seward, daughter of the
physician in charge of a
sanatorium near London, is
mysteriously anaemic. Doctor
Van Helsing, a specialist in
obscire diseases, suspects a

grave-bound by day, roams the
earth at night, and sustains its
earthly life by sucking the blood
of approachable victims. The
suspense mounts as Van Helsing
institutes a search in order to
save the solo of Lucy.
“Dracula” has been described
by critics as a play for people
that like their coffee strong.
There is no mistake about this
thriller being of the type that will
shock the stauj:hest of playgoers
who like thrilling plays.
“Dracula” will be presented by

WASHINGTON (WCNS) —
While the recent riot at Attica
State Prison and subsequent
deaths of 42 inmates and guards
has focused public attention on
"correctional institutions," the
federal government increased
its attack on the “prison reform
problem" back in 1969.
"The American system for
correcting and rehabilitating
criminals presents a convincing
case of failure,” President
Nixon said on Nov. 13.1969, when
he ordered Attorney General
John Mitchell to implement a
new 13-point program to im
prove the corrections system.
"A nation as resourceful as ours
should not tolerate a record of
such futility.”
The most dramatic result of
the Nixon order was last year’s
addition to the 1968 Safe Streets
Act ot provide more funds to
state and local corrections
systems. The Administration-
propsed amendment was
sponsored by Sen. Roman
Hruska (R-Nebr.), ranking
minority member on the Senate
Judiciary Committee.
The increase in money
available for improving the
physical facilities and moder
nizing rehabilitation programs
illustrates how fast the govern
ment has moved:
Fiscal Year
Correc'tioiis lUidgrt
1969 $ 3 million
1970 $ 60 million
1971 $175 million
1972 $250 million (est)
1973 $300 million (est)
These funds now represent
more than 35 per cent of the total
spent by the Law Enforcement
Assistance Administration
(LEAA), the principal federal
agency for funding state and
local corrections; in 1969 the
figure was 4.8 per cent. The rest
of LEAA’s 1972 $698 million
budget goes to such areas as
police education, juvenile
delinquency programs, and
streamlining court systems.
Under the 1968 law that
established LKAA, states
received funds through block
grants on a 50-50 basis. The
Nixon Administation's addition
to this law, known as "Part E,"
set up discretionary grants
spi'cifically for corrections, to
which states must contribute
only 25 per cent of the cost.
Part E. funds in 1971 piiid
more attention to community
programs than any other
priority; youth services, half
way house and group of foster
homes led the 134 million budget
in this category.
In terms of improving the
physical conditions of prisons,
LEAA Administrator Jerris
Leonard reiteratini after Attica
the federal government’s refusal
to fund "more fortress prisons
where prisoners are locked
away and forgotten."
"In fact, LEAA has turned
down several requests for
money to build such outmoded
institutions," Leonard said.
To help solve the problem
LEAA in the last two years
granted the University of Illinois
and the University of Penn
sylvania a total of $250,000 to
design new models for prisons of
the future. States received more
than $20 million in fiscal 1971 to
remodel and build their jails —
$5 million more than in fiscal
1970.
Finally, the Administration
has encouraged citizen support
for new efforts to upgrade
corections programs.
"None of our vocational
education programs, our work-
release efforts, our halfway
houses, or our probation systems
will succeed if the community is
unwilling to extend a new op
portunity," President Nixon said
in his 1969 order to Mitchell. “If
we turn our back on the ex
convict, then we should not be
surprised if he again turns his
back on us.
Sororities
Plan Rush
Sorority Rush will be held
beginning this Friday, Oct. 15.
Usually the two week period
preceding rush is known as
“Quiet Period.” This year a new
approach is being taken to
improve Greek unity at A.C.C.
The emphasis of rush this year is
a “Go Greek” campaign.
Through this campaign the
sororities hope to stress to the
rushee the advantages of the
whole Greek system as well as of
the individual sororities.
In observance of this cam
paign, all Greek women will
wear “Go Greek” pins. Wed
nesday Oct. 13 was set aside as
Jersey Day. The Panhellenic
Council and each of the
sororities hope that this cam
paign will show the strength,
meaning, and importance of
Greek life on campus.
