2The Daily Tar HeelThursday, January 17, 1991 - - Draft from page 1 draft, but college and high school se ' fciors may receive a postponement until graduation, Kiely said. College fresh men, juniors and seniors may receive a postponement until the end of their present semester if they have satisfac tory grades, she said. High school students may request postponement as long as they are not 20 years old, she said. A 20-year-old high school student must be a senior to get a postponement. An emergency postponement can be requested for extenuating circum . stances, such as a family death or a religious holiday, said Ronald Mieistrup, deputy director of Region Three Selective Service System in Illi nois. Emergency postponements only last 60 days. ' Deferment is a temporary classifica ' tion that delays induction and extends ' the age at which a man might be in ducted, he said. ' A man who has a large family to support might declare hardship as his reason for deferment. Other possible recipients of deferments are students studying for the ministry, those with medical disabilities, elected officials and military reservists, Mieistrup said. ; Kiely said it was up to local draft : -boards to hear the requests for deferment '".'and decide if the requests are worthy. After one year, a deferment request must be refiled. Exemption prevents the registrant from being drafted permanently. Min isters are possible exemptions, as are those already in the armed forces, Mieistrup said. Kiely said the sole surviving son of someone killed in the line of duty is not exempt during a wartime draft. During the peacetime draft, the sole surviving sons are exempt. Alternate types of service besides active combat can be offered to men who claim to be conscientious objectors, Kiely said. A conscientious objector is a person who objects religiously, ethi cally or morally to war. These objectors must state their beliefs, how they arrived at these beliefs and possibly supply letters from people who can attest to these beliefs, she said. "Just because one claims to be a conscientious objector doesn't relieve him of his obligation to serve," she said. A person opposed to any type of war would be required to perform duties in the area of civil service. The objector would work in civil service for the same length of time active duty draftees served in the forces. An objector opposed to active com bat but not to the military as a whole would be assigned in a non-combatant form, Kiely said. Asked if he thought Congress would find need to reinstate the draft, Mieistrup said, "I really don't know. The all- Students volunteer army seems to be satisfying the need of the situation." Kiely said if . the Selective Service System is ordered to reinstate the draft, its reserve force officers would be called to duty in each state. Local and appeal boards would be activated to run the processing stations. A lottery drawing would be con ducted to determine the order in which men in each age group would be drafted. The inductees would be notified by Western Union mailgrams. Each pack age would include instructions about where and when they must report. The new inductees would also be given in formation about the policies for post ponement, deferment and exemption, she said. from page 1 action, but hopefully we'll be out of there before then." Women would be exempt from a draft, and many students said they supported this policy. Larry Morris, a junior from Jack sonville, said many women he. knew weren't interested in serving in the armed forces. Simonne Ritchy, a sophomore from Greensboro, said women should not go to fight, but to offer support and help in ' MILTON'S "NO RECESSION" GIVE-A-WAY! The word is not in Milton's vocabulary.

Davis said she thought women should be drafted for medical service. "They shouldn't be denied that right, as long as they're not allowed on the front lines," she said. Higginbotham said he thought Con gress would consider a provision to include women in the draft, but it would not pass. Jonathan Sauls, a freshman from Miami, said exempting women from a draft was not an issue of sexism. "It's the role they can serve they aren't authorized for combat. 'To provide separate (living) facili ties would put a strain on multinational cohesiveness," he said. "It wouldn't benefit us to have both sexes on the front line." Some NROTC midshipmen said having women and men on the front line potentially could cause problems. Robert Bracknell, a senior from Franklinton and NROTC executive of ficer, said women should be used mainly in support roles. "It would be too much of a paternal instinct the men would try (so hard) to protect the women that they wouldn't do their jobs," Bracknell said. "It would affect their working relationships and be detrimental to the accomplishment of the mission." David Wagner, a senior from Kernersville and NROTC battalion commander, agreed with Bracknell. "The bonds in a combat situation are undesirable," he said. Ties may prevent a soldier from doing his job and put them at risk." Wagner said his best friend, who attended N.C. A&T State University, left for the Middle East a week ago. "He had a good attitude," he said. "He un derstands that he's been paid for those weekends. r S U UULAJ nnra nn h n (gpjgjggl Granville Towers now' is offering meal plans for non-residents.

"A lot of reservists have a bitter atti tude when they have to leave," he said. "But they signed a contract to fill an obligation to serve theircountry if called. They're just fulfilling their duty." Worry and fear were common senti ments expressed by students who said they had friends who had been deployed to Saudi Arabia. Morris said he was shocked and worried when he learned he had a friend on his way to the gulf. "I've done a lot of praying for him." Davis said, "It's scary thinking any body here (at UNC) could go (to the gulf)- There are people on this campus who don't know anything (about com bat), that would have to participate." Some students said they did not like that they had little voice in the decision about possibly reinstating the draft. Ritchy said, "A lot of people could potentially get drafted. This involves everyone without giving us a choice." Sauls said students, who would be the ones most affected by a draft, were not getting an adequate chance to voice their opinions about a draft. "Whether they support it or not, ev eryone should have a chance to say what they feel," he said. "Bush has made no attempt at that. He's doing what he wants to do. It's time to check our opinion and make domestic consul tations." Roland Hartwig, a freshman from Raleigh, said being drafted was a matter of national pride.. "If drafted, I would be fighting for a war I don't believe in," he said. "But we have to put our beliefs in back and listen to authority."
