‘We Could Go
All the Way’
A state-by-state survey of
spokesmen for the Selective Service
System last week revealed that a
large number of local draft boards
will probably induct most available
men regardless of their rank in the
recent draft lottery.
In a series of telephone inter
views, the directors of Selective
Service headquarters in 23 states
across the nation disclosed that they
may have to dip far down the
lottery list - perhaps into the
lower-third of the draw - to fulfill
their monthly local quotas.
At a number of state draft
headquarters, including those in
New York City and the metropolitan
area, Selective Service officials
said that they will be compelled to
draft all "vulnerable" men if the
draft calls for next year are as
high as the Pentagon has predicted.

Convocation
Announced
Mr. Fred Armstrong,-Director of
Research and Projects for United
States Steel Foundation, will
address the student body at the
convocation this Wednesday, at
1:30 p.m. in the theater. Atten
dance is required.
Mr. Armstrong will speak on
"The Current Status of Business
Support of the Arts." Receiving
his bachelors and masters degree
from Ball State University, Mr.
Armstrong then attended Temple
University where he received a
doctorate in educational psychology.
Much of his experience, including
his military service has centered
around psychology, rehabilitation
programs and psychological testing.
He has also designed and patented
psychological testing devices.
"If the draft calls are as
high this year as they were through
out 1969, we'll take everybody who
is I-A, eligible, examined and
processed," Col. John Brokaw of the
New York State office estimated last
week. "There is a possibility that
we could go all the way."
Col. Joseph Avella of the New
Jersey office offered a similar view
of the draft. "If the calls for
'70 are as they were in '69, it is
very likely that everyone will be
called in our state," he said.
Most of the local draft direc
tors declined to predict exactly how
far their boards would reach down
Calif., French horn; Ned Gardner of
Eden, trumpet; Deborah Henry of
Monaca, Pa., oboe; Eric Maul of
Philadelphia, Pa., bassoon, and
Joseph Parrish of Miami, trombone.
This Friday's concert will be
the first time that the Martin
concerto and Rogers' Apparitions
have been performed in North Carolina.
Apparitions was the last work
composed by Rogers, who died last
summer. He was professor of com
position at Eastman School of Music
in Rochester, N.Y. Two of his
students were Dr. Louis Mennini,
Dean of the School of Music at the
School of the Arts, and Robert Ward,
President of the School of the Arts.
ATD-GRANTS
CUT FOR »70-71
The Office of Financial Aid
has sent applications for financial
assistance for the 1970-71 academic
year to the homes of all students
who are now receiving financial aid.
The deadline for the completed appli
cation is March 1. Completed
applications must include the Parents'
Confidential Statement which must
be mailed to College Scholarship
Service, Princeton, N. J., four to
six weeks in advance.
Students who are not currently
receiving financial assistance but
would like to apply for financial
aid should pick up the necessary
applications in the Office of
Financial Aid. The deadline for
these applications is April 1.
Any late applications will be
considered according to the funds
(if any) remaining after the first
grant period.
The Financial Aid budget will
be virtually the same for next year;
however, an increase in enrollment
of an estimated 100 students will
necessitate some restrictions on the
amount of grants issued by the Office
of Financial Aid.
