Anti-War group registering by Larry Spears, Information Director The Central Committee for Conscientious Objectors has announced that they are registering individuals who are opposed to participation in the military. Larry Spears, director of CCCO’s Youth and Con scientious Objection Cam paign, says, “The need for young people to go on record as conscientious objectors to war has never been greater than it is today.” According to Spears, “There is a very real possibility that Congress will pass a bill, after the 1980 elections, requiring the mandatory registration of young people with Selective Service. Young Americans should start thinking about whether they could par ticipate in the military.” According to Betty Alexander, a National Selective Service spokesperson in Washington, the cards could carry a lot of weight in convincing a draft board of objector’s sincerity. “It sounds like a rational approach,” she said. “It shows the applicant is not experiencing a late crystallization of beliefs.” “They (CCCO) are a very organized group. They know a statement made at this time would carry a lot of weight. If the draft is reinstituted and a young man can prove he went on record in a time when he was not in danger of going to war, then it might have some influence on his board.” “The usefulness of this card,” says Spears, “is that it provides a record of an in dividual’s opposition to war and the military. Under current Selective Service regulations, an individual who is called up for active duty wil have only 10 days to put together his or her CO claim. This CO card will help demonstrate to the military the thousands of young people who will not serve in the military even if the nation returns to the draft.” CCCO was founded in 1948 as the Central Committee for Conscientious Objectors and is a national agency coun seling young Americans facing the prospect of military service.
