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.

president of the National Council
of Churches, is expected to be
come the organization’s next pres

up before a general assembly at
the NCC’s triennial meeting later

Flemming has served in his
present post for a three year term.

presidency. The current president
is presiding Bishop Reuben H.
Mueller of the Evangelical Uni
ted Brethren Church. No re-elec
tion is possible for a former pres
ident.
Word of Flemming's selection
for the vacant office was received
at the simultaneous general con
ferences of the Methodist and
Evangelical United Brethren
Churches in mid-November. The
two general conferences met pri
marily to act on a plan of union
that would merge the two denom
inations by 1968 into an 11-mil
lion-member United Methodist
Church.

Hours, No-Grade
Bills for Senate
Closing hour changes and the
pass-no pass option for under
graduates will head ASUO Sen
ate business at its meeting at 6:30
p.m.
The closing hour bill, with
drawn at the November 7 meet
ing to await the results of a poll
taken by the senate’s Public Af
fairs Committee, asks for these
changes:
• Closing hours in all Univer
sity living units be extended to
11:30 p.m. on week nights and
to 2 a m. on Fridays and Sat
urdays.
• Women students applying
for housing should be given an
option of selecting a dormitory
with or without closing hours,
with only parental consent re
quired for freshmen women who
want to live in no-closing hour
dorms.
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.
Amazon Request
The Senate may also hear a
request for an affirmation of re
dresses being sought by residents
of the Amazon Housing Project—
advance notification of any fu
ture construction work “in reason
able time,” and repairing of dam
age done to yards and porches
maintained by the residents.
Grievances concerning unfore
warned construction work at
Amazon brought on a demonstra
tion by residents Tuesday morn
ing, which halted work being
done at that time.
