Candidate Porter Speaks,
Blasts Present Draft Laws

Charles Porter, Democratic can
didate for the Fourth District
Congress seat, spoke Thursday
night on the draft question.
Porter based his talk on the
premise “that draft laws are un
fair; they arc constructed on the
idea of a large army and com
pulsory service.”
The Democratic hopeful said
that the need for this type of mil
itary is now outmoded and pro
posed several changes that would
update the draft system.
His first reform would be to
do away with the draft altogether
except In time of national emer
gency.
Porter stressed that "a person
should fight for his country, but
that active military service for
many is needless unless the coun
try is involved in a national
emergency.
"A smaller, more elite armed
force would benefit the U.S.” is
another proposal of Porter’s. He
suggested more pay and better
means of compensation to at
tract the better-qualified.
Porter also suggested a change
in military academy appointments
in order that a higher caliber
of students would attend such
institutions.
Porter stated that a federally
set-up, state-supervised military
system would be most efficient.
It would provide a decentralized
and more organized means for
defense.
“The program would include
one or two years of training and
then up to six years reserve serv
ice for each individual. The train
ing, which would be geared to
each individual’s talent, would be
done on a part-time basis.” The
reserve system would fulfill the
U.S.’s need for more civil de
fense, Porter indicated.

Hatfield, Duncan
Invited to Debate
xuung Americans ror rreeaom
have invited Governor Mark Hat

drive for the U.S. Senate.
YAF sent telegrams to the
candidates Monday, and at last

Date of the debate is yet to be
arranged.
The campus organization held

their program for the coming
year. Ronald Reagan, California
gubernatorial candidate, heads the
list of possible speakers.
Already arranged for speaking
engagements are Fulton Lewis
III, a leading spokesman of con
servative youth, and Edward But
ler, executive vice president of
the Information Council of the
Americas.
Lewis is slated to speak in De
cember, and Butler, who once de
bated Lee Harvey Oswald, will
talk October 28 on “Revolution
on the Campus.”
YAF also decided after a spirit
ed discussion to continue a policy
of "responsible demonstrations.”
A plan to give civic and campus
groups and living organizations
the opportunity to hear YAF
views was adopted.

YAF will put out a bi-weekly
paper of opinion. The paper,
which will cost students nothing,
will have as its editor Jim Cas
terline, a junior in history.
A special election for treasurer
of the group resulted in the elec
tion of Steve Lamb, a sophomore
in liberal arts.
The membership was polled on
their expectations for the Re
publican candidate for 1968. Sixty
per cent of the membership ex
pect Nixon to be nominated by
the Republicans but only 20 per
cent want him to be. Thirty per
cent expect Romney to be nomi
nated and only 10 per cent want
him nominated. Only 10 per cent
expect Reagan to be nominated
but he is the choice of 50 per
cent of the membership. There
is also a desire to see Buckley or
Goldwater nominated.
Randy Gragg, YAF chairman,
commented, "This should be a
great year for YAF; we have lots
of new members and lots of proj
ects.”
