(CPS)—Stu dent activists called a paradoxical boycott of a draft test referendum September 26 on the Buffalo cam pus of the State University of New York. The referendum was held to decide whether the University should co-operate with the Se lective Service System to the ex tent of allowing the College Quali fication Test to be administered Browsing Lecture To Feature Bartel Roland Bartel, University pro fessor of English, will discuss poets on war at the Browsing Room Lecture at 7:30 p.m. Wed nesday. Bartel’s lecture is entitled “Po ets on War: What They Have Said and How They Have Said It.” Bartel who has been on the University faculty since 1951, won one of the two coveted Ersted Awards for Distinguished Teach ers given at the University in 1965. He was assistant dean of the College of Liberal Arts from 1959 to 1962, and acting associate dean of the college from 1962 to 1964. 1 on the campus. A proposal, similar to the one at Buffalo, was discussed at Wednesday’s faculty meeting here. Postpone Action The faculty voted to postpone action on the proposal submitted by David Aberle, professor of an thropology. until its November meeting in order to gather student opinion. The proposal considers; the University’s relationship with the Selective Service. The proposal provides, among other things, that University per sonnel and facilities not be used for administering selective serv ice tests on campus. Last spring almost 1,000 stu dents demonstrated at Buffalo, demanding a voice in the school’s decision regarding the draft tests at that time. They were all but ignored by the administration.

With only a few days left be fore the Selective Service wanted a decision on the testing site, Meyerson called together an ad hoc committee to discuss the sit uation.

Bound by Referendum Meyerson agreed to be bound by the results of such a referen dum if over 50 per cent of the University's full - time students and faculty voted. The local chapter of Students for a Democratic Society, a prime force in last year’s demonstra tions, was incensed. They pro tested that Meyerson was spring ing the referendum with only three days notice, and insisted that he knew full well that, in the absence of full debate, the required 50 per cent could never be mobilized to vote. SDS was right about at least one thing. After three days of balloting, only half the number of votes were cast that would have made the referendum bind ing. The final vote was 1833 in favor of holding the test on cam pus and 910 opposed. Test To Be Held Meyerson made his decision Oc tober 1. The test will be held at Buffalo. The SDS boycott failed to ma terialize as members silently cast their ballots against the test. Few students showed up at a mass meeting called for the first night of voting. Observers blamed poor attendance on the short notice. Activist leaders were bitter over what, they considered to be a democratic sham. They doubted, however, that the pro-con per centages would have been much different had the referendum been held under more ideal circum stances. This was attributed to the fact that most of the voters in favor of the test had listed “conveni ence” as their primary consider ation. A predominant objection to the referendum was reiterated by the student newspaper, the Spectrum. The deadline for a decision was not set by the University at all, it charged, and tile school had compromised itself by allowing an outside agency to “call the tunc"of its actions.
