After talking to others on campus concerning alternatives to selective service, we became rudely aware that al most no one knew anything about how to avoid military service or even how to use it to the best ad vantage. With this in mind, we decided to look into the matter for our own sakes but also to inform oth ers of this issue facing all Ameri can males. Information is obtain able from two sources, the selec tive service board itself, and a draft counseling service. The sources in this case were the Bun combe County Selective Service Board #11 and the Charlotte Draft Counseling Service, Operated by the Society of Friends.

IVhat are the alternatives to being drafted? A. There is no deferment for a graduate student, but you can safely attend graduate school by either belonging to the reserves, or hardship. A second alternative is attending medical school or a theological seminary. A third al ternative is employment that “maintains the national safety, health and welfare.” Q. 'Whal is conscientious objec tion? A. The Selective Service Sys tem (SSS) defines conscientious objection as opposition to “par ticipation in war in any form”, by reason of “religious training and belief.” A conscientious objector may or may not have as a basis for his belief political, sociologi cal, or philosophical view, but he must have a religious basis. A conscientious objector does not, however, have to believe in God, a Supreme Being, or have any orthodox beliefs whatsoever. An objector may serve in a non-com- bat role in the armed services, or spend two years in service of the national welfare, i.e., mental hos pitals, Peace Corps, etc. Q. 'What are the immediate and permanent consequences of draft dodging? A. There are good futures in Canada, and groups are set up to aid the refugee from the draft. If you go to Canada and ignore the S.S.S., you will be able to re-enter the United States only under risk of the maximum penalty for re fusal of induction, which carries five years imprisonment and/or $10,000 fine. There are evaders who don’t go to Canada. If they can avoid public notice long enough, their draft evading may be worth the effort. Q. How do Draft Boards react to counseling? A. I would wager that draft board members would feel hostile toward anyone who made their job, which is to fill a quota, diffi cult. Q. What is the power of the appeal? A. There are three levels of ap peal: The local board, the state appeal board, and the National Appeal Board. If classified 1-A, you have thirty days to appeal. If re-classified 1-A, you have an other thirty days to app>eal to the state appeal board. If the state appeal decides against you unan imously you cannot appeal to the National Appeal Board. The pow er of the appeal lies in the time it buys you. Q. How can I find out more about the draft? A. Call or write the Charlotte Draft Counseling Service 2039 Vail Ave. Charlotte, N. C. 28207 (704) 333-3979, 375-3031, 334-2391, 525-2501 American Friends Service Committee P. O Box 1791 High Point, N.
