David Stannard, Assistant Professor, School of Arcb. and Allied Arts Editor'* Note: The Emerald did not report that the "fac ulty Senate" must review stu dent appointments to the coun cil. The "Senate" reference In the story concerned the ASUO Senate, which must approve all appointments made by the stu dent body president. FSC Organizes Lending Library The University Faculty-Student Committee to Stop the War in Viet Nam has started a lending library containing books, maga zines, and pamphlets on the mil itary. social, economic and political aspects of the Viet Nam war. These may be checked out by interested students and faculty members at the FSC office, 107 Hunter Hall, in the old Veterans' dorm. • The library will be staffed from 10 a.m. to 4 p in daily.

Trash Emerald Editor: Since I came to the Univer *>ty and became a Greek I have been content to sit back and lauKh at those on your editorial staff, considering them a group who rarely knows what it is talking about and never when they are talking about the Greek system However, a little com ment in the March 4 edition about a certain sorority’s bu reaucracy really irks me. You knock our alumni fwhich, by the way. is none of your busi ness) you fail to recognize our achievements and never seem to find any good in a system which, fantastic though it may seem to you, still attracts the top people on campus. When you are so hard up for some thing to slam that you must cri ticize our internal structure, I rrfust draw the line and tell you that it is none of your business. You ask who empties out the waste baskets; well, someone should have emptied out yours because the trash someone dug out of the bottom of one of them didn't display good jour nalism in printing. Yours in disgust. Leo M. Huff President. Kappa Sigma Fraternity • • • Resigns Emerald Editor: I have resigned from the Student Political Union. I have done so because one member, speaking as a representative of the Student Political Union, made a blatant threat to the Student Union Hoard, before the board had even taken action on this matter. I disagree with this sort of tactics and the philoso phy behind them. 1 refuse to subscribe to these views.

We have no other comments to add, but hope these sugges tions will be carried out im mediately to keep moral corrup tion from rotting away the cor nerstone of our civilization. Please remember the motto which will always remain dear to our hearts: “Virtue is its own reward!” Frances Browning Freshman, Journalism Susan Hoag Freshman, History Ann Griffith Freshman, French Constance Anderson Freshman, Speech Therapy Marilee Thome Freshman, Creative Writing » * * Decency and Integrity Emerald Editor: One reason our society is dis integrating before our unsus pecting eyes is not that Playboy and similar magazines are avail able for purchase by degenerates on skid row newsstands (al though in the USSR even this is not true). It is, however, that eight- and nine-year-old boys can pick up a copy of Playboy in the corner drugstore and “read” it under the tolerant eyes of the proprietor; and then proceed on to so-called univer sities where they can turn into empty-headed hypocrites, de fending a sophistic pseudo-phii osophy and a sophisticated de pravity as if it were literature If it takes a football player to attack this monument to the downhill slide of American civilization on our campuses, then maybe we ought to make intercollegiate athletics com pulsory. This might not turn out many scholars, but at least the graduates would be mer with a measure of decency anc integrity. Other kinds of mer cannot save us from destruc tion John Chappell Instructor of Geography, Central Washington State College, Ellens burg ♦ * * Bad Taste Emerald Editor: The objection of Co-op board member Tim Casey to Playboy magazine amazed me. It is not that he finds unclothed women (pictures of) objectionable. I find unclothed women (and pic tures of) delightful women but that's another story. It is that he has the incredible lack of taste to make public his fright ening problem. Dale Liberty Senior, Psychology You Need A Racket?

(Continued from par/e 1) BowJin said students with high standing in their class would not gain from taking the test because they would get their deferment anyway based on their grades, i Both Bowlin and Carter said i those with good grades who do I poorly on the test would still probably get deferments. Those with low class standing would be aided in taking the test, 'Pilot' Center Names Hulteng John L. Hulteng, dean of the University School of Journalism, has been named to the admissions committee of the Washington Journalism Center. The center is offering $2,000 fellowships to outstanding jour nalism students across the na tion. The pilot program will be gin this fall. Students at the center will par ticipate in seminars, internship programs, conferences, and re search projects. Other members of the commit tee, announced by Ray E. Hiebert, director of the center, include: Keith Fuller, assistant general manager of the Associated Press. William Monroe, NBC news di rector in Washington. Thomas Schroth, executive edi tor of Congressional Quarterly and Editor Research Reports. Quintus Wilson, dean of the school of journalism at West Vir ginia University. Angel Flight Elects Angel Flight elected the fol lowing officers at its Feb. 10 meeting: Commander, Jane Potter; exec utive officer, Connie Dickman; ad ministrations officer, Valerie Thom; comptroller, Betsy Clif ton: information officer, Carole Wright; usher chairman, Judy i Hunstock; historical recorder, J Cindy Spencer. , said Bowlin, because it would give the draft board another measurement of their ability. Carter urged all college stu dents who expect to be deferred to take the test. Lt. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, na tional Selective Service director, has said several times he believes college students will have to be drafted next year if draft lists continue to exceed 30,000 per month. Heavy enlistments have cut the draft calls from 32,900 to 22,400 for March with aji April call of 21,700. Enlistment totals have doubled over those of a year ago. Student Call Unlikely As long as those draft totals stay below 30,000 it seems un likely that college students will have to be drafted. The Army, anticipating that this situation might not last, has set up new deferment criteria in case Selective Service has to start withdrawing some deferments. The new criteria: • Completion of his first year of college in the upper half of the full-time male students in his class or scored over 70 on the test and has been accepted for the second year of study and has entered it. • Completion of the second year of college in the top two thirds or a score of 70 on the test and has been accepted for the junior class. • Completion of three years of college in the upper three fourths of his class or has a score of better than 70 and has been accepted for the senior. • Completion of the fourth year in the upper three-fourths of his class or scored 70 or better and has been accepted for his fifth year of study in a course of study that requires over four years. • Acceptance for admission or a degree by a graduate or profes sional school to the first class after he completes beginning re quirements; and if in his last full undergraduate year he ranked in the top one-fourth of his class or scored 80 or higher on the test.
