Musician extraordinaire
In his State of the
Union address last
month. President
Carter announced plans
to resume the military
draft citing the reason
as an increasing
military treat to &e
U.S. by the Soviet
Union. Since then.
Carter has taken the
position that women
should also be included
in any such program. In
a 62 page report. Carter
formally asked
Congress this week to
expand the law con-
cerning draft
procedures to include
women.
Currently there are
150,000 women in the
military, voluntarily,
out of a force of more
than two million.
However, women are
stiU banned by law from
combat as Carter also
has stated.
At present, Carter has
the authority to register
men ages 18-26 but moU
probably limit
registration to people
ages 19 and 20. The
Selective Service
System has said it needs
a pool of about four or
five million people for
registration purposes.
There are about eight
million men and women
ages 18 to 20. _
However, it is
apparent that a draft
program including
women is of major
controversy on Capitol
Hill. Most members of
the House and Senate
Armed Services
Committee, which will
consider the proposal,
have said they favor the
registration of men
only. They contend that
since the military needs
people to fill combat
positions, the
registration of women is
unnecessary.
Should a military
emergency arise and
the draft proposal
becomes a reality, it
would be based on a
random lottery system
that would take 20-year-
olds first. The lottery
system would be based
on birth dates chosen at
random.
To register for the
draft, a person goes to a
local post office and fills
out a form asking for
name, address, sex,
birthday, and social
security number. There
is no request for marital
status.
If Carter does call for
the draft, draftees will
not receive a draft card
as they did in the past.
Instead, they will be
notified by Western
Union Mailgram. This
mailgram will order
them to report for a
physical examination
and processing as well
as provide information
on possible exemption
and deferment rights.
A spokesman for the
Selective Service
System said that if this
draft occurs, the on^
possible automatic
exemption would be
“ministers of religion.’’
There will be no
automatic student,
occupational, or family
deferments. This does
not mean that there
won’t be other, non
automatic exemptions.
Also, Congress may
alter Carter’s proposal
to allow some automatin
exemptions and
deferments based on
occupation or the
grounds of conscien
tious objections. Any
exemptions and
deferments would be
granted according to the
individual case. Local
draft boards will make
these decisions.

Musician-composer David Amram will lead off the Spring program! oflkrcd
by the Salem College Lecture-Assembly Series for the college and community.
Amram, who will be on campus from February 20 to 23, will be the fdwol'a
first Visiting Scholar under a new program funded by the Salem Union.
Events open to the puDuc during his stay will include a performance with the
Jazz Ensemble of the School of the Arts at 8 p.m. Friday, February 22, in Hum
Auditorium. Also open to the public without charge will be a workahu with
students at 1:15 p.m. Thursday, in Hanes; an open rehearsal with the Jan group
from 4 to 6 p.m. on Thursday, also in Hanes, and a performance hour at 2: IS p.m.
on Friday in Shirley Auditorium.
Amram, who has composed more than 100 orchestral and chamber works, two
cantatas, and two operas, will visit Salem classes, meet informally with
students and faculty, and, in general, be available for discussion and
entertainment during the three days.
He has been called “America’s unofficial music ambassador” and, under the
auspices of the State Department, has taken his music and personality to the
people of five Latin American countries, the Middle East, and Pakistan. He
plays virtually every instrument in the orchestra, with the French horn as his
primary instrument.
An important part of his philosophy of music is his commitment to the ideal of
the “universal person.” Music, to Amram, is the common culture of all people of
the world. He sees a continuity in music. Where some still categorize manmade
melodies into “classical,” “pop,” “folk,” and “jazz,” he sweeps them into one -
infinitely varied pursuit called “music.”

On talking with Dr. Lazarus about January term,
reported that there was a relatively high number
students in exchange programs. Six students
'^ame to Salem CoUege to participate in courses
?Hered here. Three were from Colgate University
in New York and three were from University of
Eedlands in Redlands, California. Twenty-one
^alem students visited other 4-1-4 colleges ranging
‘rom New England College in Hanniker, New
Hampshire to College of Boca Raton in Florida.
Over half of Salem’s students remained on
'Campus taking courses from Beginning mr-
i>ischord to Sociology of Deviant Occupations. The
students abroad studied a variety of things from
zen to ecology.
Dr. Lazarus felt that all students enjoyed
themselves during the month. The exchange
students he had spoken with, felt their January
experience was very rewarding and that they
profited from being in a different learning com
munity.
There was a record number of internships and
independent studies at 228. Dr. Lazarus said that
one particularly interesting independent study was
research in original scholarship suitable for
publication. This research will hopefully result in
Salem students having their material published.
