Guidelines
On Draft
Cited
A three-page set of guide
lines for use in deferring stu
dents for their education was
received by the county draft
boards of North Carolina re
cently.
The guidelines were prepared
by national Selective Service
headquarters with the approval
of Lt. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey,
the nation’s draft director.
The guidelines, which outline
general policy to be followed
in deferring students, were for
warded to the local boards by
William H. McCachren of Ra
leigh, State Selective Service
director, who authorized their
release to the press.
At the same time, the boards
received implementing techni
cal regulations which spell out
in detail which students can be
deferred and for how long.
Earlier this year, Hershey
was quoted as saying that the
time may come soon when
students will have to be taken
from classrooms to fulfill the
nation’s military requirements.
Later reports indicate that
class standings and perform
ance on an aptitude test may be
used to decide which college
students will be deferred.
The guidelines received by the
boards did not go that far. But
they say, “What may eventually
be the requirements for a stu
dent’s deferment depend on fac
tors completely outside of our
nation. It would be worse than
useless. . .to speculate.”
There have been reports that
the current national draft calls
of 35,000 to 40,000 mena month
might have to be stepped up
to 50,000 to 60,000 men a month
if the war in South Viet Nam
Is expanded.
If so, draft officials have said
privately that they feel there
is a possibility that college
students In the lower academic
levels will have to be put into
uniform.
Now, say the guidelines, “The

Hootenanny Set For April 1st
On April 1, the Student Gov
ernment Association is spon
soring a campus hootenanny
to be held in the gymnasium.
The program is scheduled to
begin about 8:00 and will last
approximately three hours. Be
cause of the informality of the
event, it is suggested women
wear slacks or shorts and men
casual clothes. Bring your
blanket, too!
Several outstanding folk
groups have been contracted to
perform. Ann Heider, now
attending Duke University, is
from Boston and is an excellent
folk singer and Instrumentalist
who has had numerous dates In
the coffee houses of Boston
and Cape Cod. Our own Louis-
burg College group, the Whls-
keyhill Singers, compose an
extraordinary talent feature.
Andrew Cowan & Family will
sing from their traditional bal
lad repertoire. From East
Carolina comes the Cumber
land Four, “an expression of
talent unparalled by any college
group.”
Also participating will be
Gaylon & Dickie, two Louis-
burg students, who, together,
blend an unusual quality of
richness in the Hootenanny
tradition. Carroll Barnes,
who sings in a Baez tradition,
is a local ballad singer who
composes many of her songs.
Also, Marsha Davis will add
to the folk hour. Another group
which will perform is the Yates
Family; they are anticipating
cutting recordings for a na
tional label.
