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.
