Draft Board Plans Nab Of Protesters
<CPS) — At last 14 Univer-sity
of Michigan students who
participated in a sit-in at the
Ann Arbor Selective Service
Board office last month are
now facing the possibility of
immediate induction into the
armed forces, Col. Arthur
Holmes, director of the Michi-gan
Selective Service System
said last week.
Information on the students
who were arrested during the
Oct. 15 protest was forwarded
to their local draft boards on
Friday. Only Michigan resi-dents
who are registered with
Michigan boards are likely to
be affected by the pressure
from Col. Holmes. However,
Holmes has informed the local
boards of all the students in-volved
and has suggested they
might be considered delinquent
for disrupting a Selective Serv-ice
office.
Holmes emphasized that be
could not make a direct recom-mendation
to the local boards
that the protestors be inducted
for violation of a federal sta-tute
prohibiting interference
with the Selective Service sys-tem.
However, he predicted
that some of the local boards
will "look thoroughly at tbe sit-uation"
and "expedite the im-mediate
induction of some of
these students."
sums of Protestors
The authority for determin-ing
the status of the protest-ors
rests with their local
boards. Last week it seemed
apparent that some local board
members were reluctant to
take any hasty action against
the students.
Dr. Harold Dorr, a member
of the Ann Arbor Board, pre-dicted
that the board won't
"panic" and "will be inclined
to take all the facts into con-sideration."
He added that
"the primary aim of the board
is to get students through
school."
Another member of the Ann
Arbor Board, Robert Norris,
said that although the students
had interfered with the board,
he doubted that any action
would be taken against tnem.
He said their academic rec-ords
would be examined and if
their grades are "good" he
would suggest they be allowed
to finish their education.
Canceled Determent*
The Selective Service Sys-tem
in Wasninglon has report-ed
that some other boards have
sent 1-A notices to those in-volved
in protests against the
war in Viet Nam or me draft.
No boards were identitied nor
was any indication made as to
the extent of reclassilication.
National Selective Service
officials arc against this policy
and have said they feel most
of those reclassilied for pro-testing
will be successlul in
appeals to regain their student
status. An unxnown number is
expected to lose appeal rights,
Student Unrest Rumbles
Provoke Education Moves
By RITA DERSIIOWITZ
WASHINGTON (CPS) - The
rumblings of student unrest
rnd the unprecedented pieoc-cupation
of educators with the
student have penetrated even
the stolid bureaucrccy of the
I' S. Office of Education.
Two proposals are currently
making the rounds of the
USOE's Division of Higher Ed-ucation
Research: a series of
student - faculty - administra-tion
conferences to improve
the curriculum of colleges and
universities end a national con-ference
on the role of the stu-dent.
The purpose of the curricu-lum
conferences would be to
disseminate information .bout
innovations and reforms that
are taking place in higher ed-ucaton
and (o stimulate pro-posals
for research protects in
the »ren of curriculum develop-ment
which the Office of Edu
'■.il.n.l COUld I n Mire
Dr. Arno Jewett, the officer
in charge of the curriculum
branch of th? Division of High-er
Education Research and the
chief advocate of the curricu-lum
conferences, cdmlts that
the conferences could become
much broader than simply dis-cussions
of curriculum innova-tions.
'There's a connection b>
tween the causes of student un-rest
and (he cirriculum of an
institution, between student
feelings about en impersonal-ized
eduction and the kind of
instruction received," he said.
Jewett foresees a total of six
conferences, beginning this
February tnd continuing into
next year, in different areas of
the country. Each of the con-ferences
would include five to
ten students cmong its 60 par-ticipants
and would focus on
specific types of institutions:
Junior colleges. Attention
here would probably be direct-ed
toward the development of
junior colleges into community
schools, serving the needs of
Study Abroad Applicants
Have Dec. 10 Deadline
Four undergraduate academ-ic
programs to be offered in
Europe next spring will re-main
open for applications un-til
Friday, Dec. 10, according
to their sponsor, the Institute
of European Studies, in Chi-cago.
Located in Freibrug, West
Germany, Madrid, Paris and
Vienna, the programs empha-size
liberal arts and social
science studies at the sopho-more
and junior levels. Full
academic-year programs will
be conducted in all four loca-tions,
as well as in Nantes,
France.
In West Germany, students
will take the courses regularly
offered at the University of
Freiburg. Applicants must
have junior standing, a B
average, and two years of col-lege
German.
Students in the Madrid pro-gram
select courses from cur-ricula
organized by tbe univer-sity's
faculty of political and
economic sciences. Require-ments
include junior or sopho-more
standing, a C plus aver-age
and two years of Spanish.
The Parisian program em-phasizes
accelerated develop-ment
of skills in French, to-gether
with other fields of
study. Sophomores applying of
this program must have three
semesters of college French,
and juniors, five semesters. All
must have B averages.
The University of Vienna's
spring program offers study in
a wide variety of fields includ-ing
intensive German language
training. One semester of Ger-man
and a C plus average are
required for sophomores and
juniors applicants.
The institute's year program
in Nantes emphasizes engi-neering
and mathematics.
Comprehensive fees for the
programs, including tuition,
room, most meals, transatlan-tic
transportation and field
trips, range from $1,605 to $1,-
750 for spring programs, and
from $2,405 to $2,760 for full-year
programs.

obtained from the institute, at

the entire community.
—Developing colleges. Co-operation
among the Negro
colleges of the South and the
colleges of Appalachia, accord-ing
to Jewett, would allow each
college to specialize and utilize
teaching staffs more effective-ly
by sharing faculties.
— Teachers colleges that are
becoming multi-purpose insti-tutions.
— Large state universities,
land-grant colleges, and large
private universities. The con-ference
would deal with ques-tions
of student unrest, im-personalized
teaching. ( h c
threat of "doing research or
be poor."
— Continuing education pro-grams.
These must provide up-to-
date education in the profes-sional
fields, including doctors,
teachers, and scientists.
— Small, prosperous, well-known
colleges such as those
concentrated In New England.
The proposed national con-ference
of the role of the stu-dent
is a more sensitive sub-ject.
It probably originated
with some of the ideas thai
came out of this year's Amer-ican
Council on Education con-ference,
whose theme was
'The Student in Higher Edu-cation,"
and with a proposal
that has been circulating as a
memo within (he Office of Ed-ucation.
The memo, written by Jo-seph
Turner of the President's
Executive Office said, "This
conference should examine
the changing roles of the 'stu-dent'
(including (hose of stu-dent
age who have deliberate-ly
chosen to become non-stu-dents
or ex-students) in Amer-ican
society, and the changes
induced by these roles in the
functioning of colleges and uni-versities."
One of the purposes of such
a conference, would be to get
the activists to apply social
science disciplines to their con-cerns.
If destructive eruptions
on the campus are to be avoid-ed,
Ihe memo said, "it may be
important to get the students
better lo understand what it is
they mean by such labels or
slogans as 'university reform,'
by their ideas of student par-ticipation
in political action,
and by their notions of a trans-formed
social science."
Why this sudden interest in
researching (he student? For
one thing, there is money (o
do it. The recently-passed Ele-mentary
and Secondary Act of
1965 considerably extended the
research funds available under
the Cooperative Research Act.
Another factor in this new
emphasis is the shake-up
which is going on within the
USOE. Once a bastion of re-searchers
and "specialists,"
the office is now in the fore-front
of carrying out programs
and policies in a field wh.ch
the Johnson administration has
started as one of its top prior-ity
concerns. As a result, many
of the old titles remain, but
the people who hold them
have changed considerably.
Younger men are being
brought in to responsible posi-tions,
and lines of authority are
being reorganized to reflect
the new interest of the
agency.
however, for failing to act
within 10 days of receipt of a
classification notice as tne law-requires.
Lt. Gen. Louis Hershey is
still encouraging local boards
not lo cancel student defer-ments.
Gen. Hershey, the na-tional
director of the Selective
Service System, says, "educa-tion
has been considered a
process which increases the
value of a citizen to his nation.
Deferment of students and
teachers is, indeed, an imple-mentation
of the national in-terest."
Students are still worried,
however.
There have been reports
from a number of schools that
some full-lime students have
been denied deferments. B u t
schools feel that most such no-tices
were issued because no
notice of enrollment had been
sent and that students can suc-cessfully
appeal to have their
1I-S status renewed. Here
again, draft officials worry
that a failure to act within the
10-day period for appeal may
mean some students will re-main
classified as 1-A.
Danger To Part-Time Sludrnl-s
Students are feeling the
pinch. Draft boards in some
well-to-do suburbs, for exam-ple,
have a relatively small
pool of non-sludents available,
since large numbers of the
young men there go lo college
Some boards have issued de-ferments
without termination
dates, leaving them subject lo
review at any time. Others
have been forced to classify
students "not making satisfac-tory
progress" as I-A. Still oth-ers
have cut down on the num-ber
of graduate deferments or
warned that a student will not
be deferred for more than one
graduate degree.
Part-time students, prospec-tive
graduates, and men whose
jobs are not clearly crucial to
the national interest as defined
by the Selective Service Act
are all being scrutinized by
draft boards.
Deans at several schools
have said that June graduates
might not be able to accept
grants to travel or study
abroad in a non-degree pro-gram.
They agree that stu-dents
who joined no formal
program — who wanted to
travel or work a year — prob-ably
would be drafted immedi-ately.
Finances arc another prob-lem.
Students cannot take a
semester off to work or study
part-time and maintain a job
without risking induction.
"With the rising draft calls,
we've had a flood of applica-tions
for fellowships and loins
from those who can't afford
full-time study." one dean re-ported.
Married Men
The December draft call of
over 40,000 men is eight times
the December, 1964, call and
only slightly below the Decem-ber,
1953, call of 47,000 men.
In order to fulfill quotas, many
draft boards began taking
married men without children
in November. Men who were
married before August 26, and
thus escaped President John-son's
summer order placing
men without children in the
same draft classification as un-married
men, will be inducted
by some boards in January,
oldest men first. The age lim-its
remain at 19 and 26.

accreditalion is declared safe
after Wednesday's meeting of
of the Southern Association of
Colleges and Universities. The
Association, in light of the re-cent
General Assembly action
concerning the amended
Speaker Ban recommended,
"The finding respecting the
outcome of the case is that the
amended law effectively re-turns
to the individual govern-ing
boards the authority and
responsibility for determining
speaker policy and regulation,
thereby freeing each board to
fulfill its role in protection of
intellectual freedom and insti-tutional
integrity.
"It is therefore recommend-ed
that the affected state in-slitutions
of higher learning in
Norlh Carolina continue to be
accredited by and hold mem-bership
in the Southern Asso-ciation
of Colleges and
Schools, Inc."
The resolution was adopted
without dissent.
Governor Dan Moore had no
comment other than to reaf-firm
his faith in the General
Assembly and the trustees of
the institutions of higher learn-ing
and express his confidence
in these institutions.

Assembly amended the law.

The Association heard testi-mony
Sunday from Watts Hill,
Jr., chairman of the North
Carolina Board of Higher Edu-cation.
Appearing from lwo hours

Hill said he hoped changes in
Ihe law "would meet Ihe ac-creditation

He said he was asked about
the political climate in the

WASHINGTON, D. C. —
Young Americans for Freedom
have announced that "Debate-
In's" on the war in Viet Nam
have been scheduled for De-cember
7, on 22 campuses
across the country with "very
good prospects for at least an-other
25 campuses."
The "Debate-In's" will fea-ture
debates between college
members of YAF, the nation's
largest conservative youth or-ganization,
and representa-tives
of Students for a Demo-cratic
Society, the left wing
pacifist organization which is
calling for an immediate end
to the war in Viet Nam.
Major colleges and univer-sities
where "Debate-In's" will
be held include City College
of New York, University of
Michigan, University of Illi-nois,
University of Wisconsin,
Smith College, Bradley Uni-versity,
Colgate University and
Michigan State University.
"We have very good pros-pects,"
said Tom Huston, YAF
national chairman, "for at
least 25 more 'Debate-In's' on
other college campuses.
"We are most pleased,"
Huston said, "that Young
Americans for Freedom is the
sponsor of a format — 'Debate-
In's' — which allows both sides
to speak their minds and pre-sent
their arguments."
"We are condifent that
YAF's point of view, which is
after all Ihe point of view of
the vast majority of Ameri-cans,
will prevail in these de-bates
from coast to coast."
"We feel" said Huston "it is
appropriate that Ihese debates
be held on December 7, the
24th anniversary of Pearl Har-bor
Day, to remind all those
participating and listening of
the great sacrifices which
Americans have made for free-dom
in the past."
The "Debate-In's" are part
of a larger YAF project call-ed,
The International Youth
Crusade for Freedom in Vicl
Nam.
The Crusade will climax on
Jan. 7 and 8, 1966, with rallies
in major American, Asian and
European cities.
"We are determined, said
Huston, "to demonstrate to the
world that American and Asian
youth are united in their strong
support of U. S. policy in Viet
Nam and in their fervent de-sire
to see freedom, not com-munist
tyranny, prevail in
Viet Nam.

Red Clay Reader II Boasts UNC-G Faculty, Alumnae Talent
GILBERT N. CARPENTER
Through the art, poetry, and
Erose of three faculty mem-ers
and five alumnae, UNC-G
is well represented in Red
Clay Reader II. The Red (lay
Reader is a collection of work
by Southern artists, primarily,
and also work by artists out-side
the Southern region. Fred
Chappell, Deborah Eibel, and
Gilbert Carpenter are faculty
members and Maud Gatewood,
Diane Oliver, Heather Ross
Miller, Ann Hill, and Mackey
are UNC-G graduates.
Almost all the art work in
tbe book is done by UNC-G
talent. Gilbert Carpenter, who
hi presently chairman of UNC-G
Art Department, has illus-trations
scattered through the
Reader. Maud Gatewood has
a portfolio of drawings be-
\
tween the cover which she de-signed.
Miss Gatewood is pres-ently
chairman of Art Depart-ment
at UNC-C. Ann Hill and
Mackey also have illustrations
throughout the book. Ann Hill
says that she "Is now at work
surviving in Walnut Cove, N.C.
and Mackey is curator for the
Winston Salem Gallery.
Reveiwer Appraises
Leon Rooke, in a review for
the Charlotte Observer, said,
'The Heather Ross Miller
story, t'hel,' which catches a
pregnant woman in her hour of
need, offers a too-brief look at
the character of that name, but
the story succeeds in evoking
strong reader attachment. Chel
shares the peripheral vision
that lent such substance to Mis
Miller's heroine in her first
novel, The Edge of The
Woods,' " and there is that
same shadow-power which per-vades
much of her other work.
Chel is like a woman who ex-ists
in a poem but she does
exist and occupies that world
with Miss Miller's own subtle
but particular force.
"Not so real are the char-acters
who occupy the very
realistic world Diane Oliver
attempts to create in her first
published story, "Key to Ihe
City." The portrayal of a Ne-gro
family moving from their
Southern home to Chicago,
where the husband who pre-viously
abandoned them is ex-pected
to meet and care for
them. The story is rich in de-tail
but lacks that larger, per-vasive
view that could have
made it more worthwhile, . ."
Miss Oliver is twenty-two and
she is presently on a writing
scholarship at the University of
Iowa.
"I» Progress"
"When one comes to the
novel-in progress section in sky
lights up, cymbals sound,"
wrote Mr. Rooke.
" These novels really are in
progress,' as Fred Chappell
says in his introduction to the
section. The cumulative view
one draws from them is of
nothing so much as that rich,
wonderful country lying ahead.
The novel is dead? No, but
Norman Podhoretz, who says
it is, might be.
"Chappell. represented with
a fragment from what will be-come
his third novel, "Dagon,"
sets the stage in his introduc-tion:
"One important element
in the novel is surprise; the
novelist must keep at least
two jumps ahead of his read-er,
and if the reader 'catches'
him, if he anticipates turns of
character and event with a
high degree of accuracy, the
jig is up.
Grand Imagination
"In "Dagon" the jib is a
long way from being up, and
it is quite a jig. Who could out-guess
the grand imagination at
work here. In the space of a
few thousand words the novel
takes on strange but wonderful
and all absorbing life."
Fred Chappell is now teach-ing
at UNC-G and working on
two books. One is his novel,
Dagon, and Ihe other is a book
of short stories. The Thousand
Ways, which is to be published
in 1967. Chappell, who had a
short story published in the
Red Clay Reader I, said,
'There is a great deal of im-provement
in number two.
This year both the format and
material are better. Kathryn
Noyes' piece, 'The South, The
Law, and Me," is really some-thing,"
said Chappell, "and
Diane Oliver's "Key to the
City" is a terrific story."
Deborah Eibel, a former
UNCG faculty member, had
her poem. "The Visit," pub-lished
in Ihe second Reader.
Books are now on sale in
UNC-G bookstore. FRED C-IIAPPEI.I.
