Conscientious Objectors Discuss Draft ny Jim MimiALL Kmrr.tld Muff Writer Can young men who arc not Quakers, Menonites, or other ‘‘peace denominations" obtain a conscientious objector’s draft classification? The answer is definitely yes, ac cording to Steven Deutsch of the Eugene Friends Meeting House. Dcutsch, on assistant profes sor of sociology at the University, made his comments Monday night at a discussion held by the Friends and the Eugene Turn Toward Peace group. “It’s up to the registrant how he will say what his beliefs are” and his draft board will act on that statement, regardless of his church affiliation or lack of, Dcutsch said. Deutsch, a conscientious ob jector, was iisked by a student whether a statement to a draft board that he was against the Viet Nam war, but hot was in general would be enough to re ceive a CO classification. "It's a little blunt. As far as I can see, a draft board couldn't grant a CO classification on that basis within the present law," Deutsch said. Hut he noted that a court case is being tested whether one may object to the draft on the basis that the Viet Nam war ix “unjust.” Other appeals are being tried on the basis of the Nurcmburg decisions that convicted German officers of war crimes despite ANN ARBOR, Mich.

"There’s been a fantastic in crease in those asking to be clas sified CO from World War II,” Deutsch said. The biggest in crease has been among Catholics and among those with no church affiliation. Deutsch’s group, the Friends, makes counseling for potential CO’s available. He said other de nominations are now making ef forts to guide young men who seek advice on the CO position. "Counselors seek to counsel you out of claiming to be a CO,” Deutsch said. “They challenge you to say why you claim to be a CO.” Deutsch urged that anyone who opposes the war and has reser vations about the draft on that basis should think about what he believes, not what he doesn’t bc PL-3 Schedule Tu«d»j, December S 6:30 HUNTLEYBRINKLEY REPORT 7:00—PL-3 NEWS 7:15—HOW TO BEAT THE SYSTEM "Establishing pre marital standards" la the subject of tonight's panel dis cussion. 7:30 THE FOLK GUITAR: Laura Weber teaches the G chord and the son* “Blue Tall Fly.” 8:00—THE STRUGGLE FOR PEACE: The peace-keeping role of the United Nations. 8 30 SPECTRUM: Tracking the course of ocean waves. 9:00-ETV AND YOU: A demonstra thin of what goes on In a TV studio, and how, and why. 9:30—CINEPOSIUM: Excerpts from "The Slender Thread,” a depth probe on suicide, are shown and discussed. 10:00—NEWS FINAL Grad Student Council To Hear Nominations The graduate student council will accept nominations for offi ces at a meeting at 3 p.m. Wed nesday in the Student Union.
