Draft call limit
set at No. 60
for February
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Selective
Service system, doing an about-face, said
Tuesday the draft will try to reach no
higher than lottery No. 60 in meeting its
February call.
A ceiling of lottery No. 30 had been
suggested for the January call, but spokes
men said it is too early to tell how well
it worked.
An official spokesman for Selective
Service national headquarters had said
Monday it was decided not to propose a
similar guideline for February; without
one, draft boards could reach as high up
the lottery list as necessary to meet their
quotas.
But a White House source said Tuesday
a limit of No. 60, under discussion for
the past week, would be applied.
Shortly thereafter, the Selective Service
spokesman confirmed that No. 60 would
be the February guideline, although state
draft directors have not yet been so
advised.
Col. Bernard Franck, an aide to Direc
tor Lewis B. Hershey, said the decision
was made Tuesday morning.
“We’ve been talking about it for the
last few days,” said Franck, “but we play
ed it rather loosely. We didn’t have much
feedback on the No. 30 guideline that we
put out for January. But we were hear
ing from state directors and it looked like
we probably could get close to the de
sired levels with No. 60 in February. This
morning we made a pretty hard decision
on it.”
Representatives of the White House,
Pentagon and Selective Service feared
that local conditions could create wide
disparity among the numbers called by
various local boards, and that some high
number men might be drafted unneces
sarily before low-number men, now de
fered, re-enter the draft pool later in the
year.
The January guideline and the one for
February were set to encourage uniform
ity among local boards, even if that means
some local boards may be inducting rela
tively more men than others in those
months.
Boards not yet supplying their share
of the manpower would have to make it
up later in the year when more of their
low-number men are available.
Committee to hold dormitory hearings

Clark’s request for a study of dormitory

day. Appointments are being arranged
through Rapp’s office at ext. 1628.

Committee established
to ban nuclear testing
WASHINGTON (CPS)—Ernest Gruening, former U.S. Senator
from Alaska, has announced the formation of a National Committee
Against Underground Nuclear Testing.
The establishment of the committee is an outgrowth of the nation
wide protests against underground nuclear testing on Amchitka,
Alaska, last October when an underground test shot of 1.2 megatons
was exploded. The Atomic Energy Commission has announced that the
next shot to be exploded on Amchitka will be “several times larger”
than the October shot.
“The progressive increases in the size of these underground nuc
lear blasts,” Gruening said, “amount to playing ‘Russian roulette’
with the lives and property not only of the people of Alaska, but also
those of Washington, Oregon, California and Hawaii.”
The test site on Amchitka is located on a seismic fault, connected
with the San Andreas fault. The tests “not only present the definite
danger of radioactive fallout in possible violation of the limited Test
Ban Treaty and the destruction of the ecology of the area but might
well trigger earthquakes in California and Alaska and tidal waves
in Hawaii,” Gruening said.
The purposes of Gruening’s committee are “to seek to halt further
underground megaton nuclear tests until there has been an objective,
in-depth evaluation by an independent group of eminent scientists of
all the hazards from such testing.
“The committee will seek to stimulate groups throughout the coun
try to make a concerted and coordinated effort to prevent such
further testing by supporting litigation to achieve such an end, by
fostering state and federal legislation aimed at achieving the com
mittee’s objectives, and by the widest possible dissemination of in
formation already known about the dangers from such underground
nuclear testing.”
A lawsuit is now in preparation and will be filed shortly to enjoin
further underground nuclear tests at Amchitka.
Court finds two guilty
Two University students were
found guilty of academic cheat
ing at the Tuesday session of
Student Court.
In both cases, the guilty stu
dents were issued the normal
sanction for the offense by being
placed on disciplinary probation
for the remainder of their aca
demic careers.
However, in the second case,
a foreign student who is to grad
uate at the end of this term
posed a problem as to what sane
tion would suffice. Because of
the special nature of the case,
probation by itself would have
been meaningless. So the court
added a 250 word paper defining
and discussing plagiarism to the
regular sanction.
The charge of academic cheat
ing is punishable by expulsion or
suspension from the University or
any lesser sanction.
Once a student is placed on
probation, the committing of
another offense may also result
in suspension or expulsion.
