PAGE 2, THE COUGAR CRY. JANUARY 26, 1^70
EDITORIAL
By observation, it has occurred
to the editor that a change has
come over the student center at
Wilkes Community College.
No longer do you hear the cry
of, “Play the Rook* or “Shoot
the Moon.*
Now, to match the intellect
that has been reached by our
students, they have turned their
attention to the playing of bridge,
IS GOD
The story has been told that
a man in a large Florida city,
who was injured in the city as
a result of a hurricane and filed
a law suit against that city.
The suit was thrown out of
court because the accident was
an act of Gkxi afterwhich the man
filed a suit against the principle
QUESTIONS
ABOUT
Q. I am 18 years old and will
not be 19 until after December
31, 1969. Do I have a selective
service random sequence num
ber?
A. No. Your random sequence will
be determined by the first draw
ing held after you become 19.
Q. Once I receive a random seq
uence number, will this number
change from year-to-year as
new drawings are held?
A. No.
Q. I am 20 years of age, cur
rently deferred in Class 2-A.
My deferrment will terminate in
June 1970. What will be my lia
bility after the termination of
my deferment?
A. If you are placed in 1-A and
found to be acceptable for mili
tary service, you will be placed
at the top of the available list,
the game of wits and intellect.
Now, teacher, we have reached
the level seemingly of other col
lege students as we kill our extra
time with this game of brains
against brains.
Has it come to pass that no
longer are we the deficient stu
dents that we have been called
and can we now flunk out if we
want to by our own choosing.
DEAD?
churches in the area as agents
of God.
That suit was also thrown out
of court, afterwhich the man filed
a law suit against God.
And, in fact God is not dead,
he is only in hiding to avoid pro
secution.
ANSWERED
DRAFT
provided your number was reach
ed while you were deferred. If
your number was not reached
while you were deferred, you
will be placed in a lower prior
ity group, whether you were de
ferred until June 1970 or for
the entire year.
Q. I am a 22-year-old student
classified 2-S. Because of my
high random sequence number,
I wish to be classified in 1-A
rather than 2-S. How can I get
a 1-A classification?
A. You will remain in 2-S as
long as the reason for your de
ferment exists. Your local board
was obligated to classify you in
2-S, since this was the lowest
classification for which you qual-
ifed. However, if your local
board receives evidence from
your school that you have ceased
to be a satisfactory full-time
student because you have with
drawn, gr adu ated, terminated
your enrollment, or become a
part-time student, then your local
board will have a basis to re
classify you from 2-S.
Q. My random sequence number
is 262. I have heard that my
chances of being called for in
duction during 1970 are slim.
A. There is no way to determ
ine when any registrant in 1-A,
who is subject to random sele
ction, will be called for induct
ion.
Q. I was ordered for induction
to report in December 1969. My
local board postponed my induct
ion until February 1970. Does the
lottery affect me?
A. No. Unless there is some rea
son for your being deferred, you
should expect to report on the
date in February that the local
board advises you to report. The
lottery does not affect the status
of any registrant who is ordered
to report for induction, when the
original reporting date is prior
to January 1, 1970.
Q. Suppose I transfer for induct
ion and the board I transfer to
orders me to report in January
1970?
A. Your case is just like that
of a postponed registrant. You
will be expected to report for
induction as orderedby the trans
fer board.
Q. What effect does the random
selection method have on defer
ments?
A. Local board deferment polic
ies are not affected by the ran
dom sequence method of select
ing registrants for induction.
Q. When will there be another
random sequence drawing?
A. Plans call for a drawing to
be held during each calendar
year, but no date has been sei
for the drawing to be held dur
ing 1970.
Q. I am 19 years old and in 1-A.
If I stay in 1-A all of 1970 and
my random sequence number is
not reached during 1970, how will
it affect me?
A. Whether you are in 1-A or
in some deferred classification,
if your number is not reached
you will be placed in a lower
priority category.
Q. I have just been placed in
Class 1-A, but will be 26 years
of age in March 1970. If I re
quest personal appearance and
appeal, will I still be subject to
induction if I reach age 26 be
fore my appeal is settled?
A, Yes, if your random sequence
number is reached before you be
come 26 years of age. No, if
your random sequence number is
not reached prior to your 26th
birthday.
Q. I have a 2-A classification
