Educators urge
troop pullout
From AP reports
The presidents of 79 private col
leges and universities appealed to
President Nixon for a stepped
up timetable for American with
drawal from Vietnam.
The educators, representing in
stitutions across the country, made
their appeal in a 200-word state
ment which they sent to Nixon
four days before the Oct. 15 na
tional moratorium.
A rapid withdrawal they said,
“would be in our country’s high
est interest at home and abroad.”
The statement was also sent
to congressional leaders and it
stated, “There are times to be si
lent and times to speak. This is
a time to speak.
“More and more we see the war
deflecting energies and resourc
es from urgent business on our
own doorsteps. The accumulat
ed costs of the war are not in
men and material alone. There are
costs, too, in the effects on young
peoples’ hopes and beliefs.
The presidents concluded an end
to the war would not solve cam
pus unrest but added, “It will
permit us to work more effective
ly in support of more peaceful pri
orities.”

visor on manpower mobilization
to the president after Feb. 16.
Hershey’s successor will be ap
pointed in the near future and
will serve as deputy director un
til the turnover of positions.
President Nixon said Hershey
will help in the transition to a
new young-first draft system and
then “help to develop a stand
by draft system for the period
when the nation adopts an all -
volunteer armed force.”
Instigated modern system
Hershey instigated the modern
draft system in the late 1930’s
and remained its head since its
inception.
As director since July 3, 1941,
he supervised the induction of
more than 14.5 million men in
to the armed forces during World
War II, the Korean war, the cold
war and the Vietnam war.
He has served under six pres
idents despite criticism from
r
both Congress and public. Some
attribute his survival to his tak
ing a position that no one else
wanted, having friends on the
powerful congressional Armed
Services Committee and his im
age as a patriotic defender.
Recently, Nixon, as part of
his efforts to quell dissent by per
suasion, cut back draft calls this
fall and pressed for a lottery
system of draft selection. Her
shey supported Nixon’s propos
al for a lottery system although
in the past he has consistently op
posed them.
