NY Students Oppose Draft Referendum
BUFFALO, N. Y. (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

Bartel’s lecture is entitled “Po

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.
Handled Differently

With only a few days left be

a decision on the testing site,
Meyerson called together an ad

referendum be held the first three
days of the following week.
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.

“This is the smoothest I can get my naturally
curly hair. Gorgeous, isn't it?"
(This is how Ceorgeanne Alexander looked before
using CURL FREE. And these are her words.) "Girls with
straight hair tell me I'm lucky to have natural curl.
They just don't know! I leave the house with smooth
hair...and get back home looking like curlylocks. In
the winter it snows and—instant ringlets. And summer
humidity makes my hair frizz up and go wild.
"I saw an ad for CURL FREE in a magazine. It said, fl
was a curly-headed baby, but baby look at me now!’
The results looked marvelous. I would like to try it.”
“Look what Curl Free did! So sleek—
I can't believe it's me!”
"Oh...it's beautiful! I've always wanted straight hair.
Now I've got it. And I did it myself with CURL FREE. Gee,
I'm just like the ad: M was a curly-headed baby, but
baby look at me now!’”-GEORGEANNE ALEXANDER.
Comb those natural curls right out of your hair with
cool, creamy CURL FREE. Even
if your hair is so tight and curly
it puts up a real fight—it will
surrender to CURL-FREE. Just
keep on using it and you'll see.
