Presented by Donahue ASUO Draft Idea: Abolish in Peace By JIM KIMBALL Ktmralil SUIT Writer ASUO Senator at large Mike Donahue presented his version of what the ASUO Senate’s rec ommendation to the President's White House Committee on draft would be in the first of hearings to lie held on the subject Wed nesday: • Abolish the draft in peace time, but re - establish in time of war or national emergency declared by Congress. • Choose who would serve be drafted, if any, by lottery. Dona hue said his plan is patterned after one proposed by Massachu setts Senator Kdward Kennedy. • Continue deferments for those involved in jobs or research essential to the national defense and those who are physically han dicapped. • In peace-time, everyone would serve two years in the mil itary or in VISTA or Peace Corps or similar projects. • Upon completion of two, years of duty, everyone would be assisted in continuing his edu-! cation, much like under the GI bill. Donahue’s committee is facing a race with the White House’s deadline to get the recommenda tion drafted and approved by the Senate sometime in early Janu ary. The White House Commit tee will announce its findings later that month. Committee member Chuck Stout, also a Senator, said he was "completely opposed" to all parts of Donahue’s plan. He called a random draft survival of the luck iest and said "an untempered lottery would be senseless." Senator Phil Barnhart agreed, saying a lottery system would les sen male student security and lead to “nihilism.” Donahue defended his propos al as more equitable than the present draft policy and said that everyone would know when his number would be called and hence could plan his service. Political groups on campus will be asked to have someone from their group present his opinions to the committee at a second hearing to be held at 4 p.m. next Wednesday.

Different Hours • Sororities or co-ops who want different closing hours than those specified by the University could present their request to the Con duct Committee. The pass no pass bill, present ed November 17 by Dave Mc Closkey and withdrawn after it was learned that the Graduate Student Council is working on a similar plan, would permit un dergraduates to take any Uni versity course on a pass-no pass basis. The student would still be lim ited to 36 pass-no pass hours out of the 186 hours required for graduation, and could not take departmentally - required courses for their major on that basis. He would be permitted to change from the pass-no pass ba sis to a graded basis, and vice - bersa, before the drop date dur ing the term.
