Students Polled on tuition Increase
By LORETTA RIDGEWAY
Student reaction to acho<1uIed
tuition Increases beginning
summer quarter ranged from
general approval to voiced op
position In a recent poll. Most
students indicated acceptance
of the (trowing costs In higher
education.
Yvonne Prldgeon, senior:
"If the increase In tuition Is
necessary for the advancement
of education In our University
system, then I can't really op
pose It."
Katliy Mayo, freshman: “I
haven’t thought about It
much. I don’t really think It
will make too much differ
ence, though.”
Don McMillan, freshman:
"If It’s necessary, it has to
bo done. Nobody likes to pay
extra."
Hetty Price, sophomore: "I
think the tuition is enough
right now. I’d hnto to see It go
nny higher than the recent in
crease."
Kay Forrester, Junior:
"The way the present sys
tem Is set up, that’s the only
thing to do. It’ll cost me ex
tra, but they’re running the
show."
James T. Kershaw, Junior
non-resident: "The tuition rate
Is too much right now for out-
of-state students. The increase
for non-residents Is entirely
too high, especially for a state
institution.”
Carolyn Puckett, freshman:
“I think If it helps to Improve
the faculty and other condi
tions in general, it’s a good
idea. It would have been better
to get the money from taxes.
The University is still one of
the lenst expensive around,
though."

DRAFT QUOTAS SOAR
By RUPERT FIKE
(Adapted with pernlission from Time Magazine)
With the coldness and quickness of the Grim Reaper’s
sycle, local draft boards have begun slicing into the ranks
of married men, college students and border-line 4-F’s to
fill their demanding quotas, amid cries of unfairness, dis
crimination and undemocratic procedures.
For almost a whole genera
tion of Americans, the draft
has been something for some
one else to worry about; defer
ments were easy to get. But
with the prospect of future
calls soaring well over 30,000
men per month, thousands who, , . , .
previously might have eluded say 8 we re being unfair when
military service will «nnn finH ! he’s being taker.. Hershey in
sists that the draft works well,
hut that it was not meant to
a student of his continued
Immunity.
The charges of unfairness
against the draft are wide
spread—and to a certain extent
true. Says Gen. Hershey: “I
wouldn’t argue with a guy who
military service will soon find
themselves on Uncle Sam’s pay
roll.
As of last month, college
students in general will no
longer be automatically de
ferred, and even worse, the
ex-student has an excellent
chance of ending up where
the shooting is.
At the beginning of 1965,
less than one per cent of the
23,000 GI’s in Viet Nam were
draftees. Today, products of
the draft make up 20 per cent
of the nearly 200,000 Viet Nam
troops and the proportion is
likely to go higher.
To help decide which stu
dents to take, Gen. Lewis B.
Hershey, who has headed the
draft program for 25 years, has
reinstituted the qualification
test used during the Korean
War.
Herscy believes that only
the best students should be
spared and will demand eith
er a good score on the 100-
question College Qualifica
tion Test or a reasonably
high rank in class to Insure

treat everyone fairly.
The overall guidelines for de
ferment are laid down by Her
shey and his Washington assis
tants, but individual cases are
the responsibility of local draft
boards.
These draft boards are
groups of three to five un
paid citizens who usually
meet once or twice a month
to decide the fate of the
young men within their juris
diction.
The fact that local boards
are allowed a wide measure of
discretion and are made up of
individuals of varying stan
dards and prejudices gives rise
to the chief charges of unfair
ness—what one board snatches,
another defers. Of two regist
rants in almost identical cir
cumstances, one may be re
lieved of his home life by his
board while his buddy is de
ferred by another.
Draft officials deny, how
ever, that the system of call
ing some and leaving other is
undemocratic. What would be
undemocratic, they point out,
would he to draft everyone re
gardless of his individual cir
cumstances.
Bofore the build-up in
Viet Nam, almost any college
student automatically got his
2-8 deferment, and local
Ixmrds wore increasingly
willing to extend this classi
fication to those who contin
ued into graduate school.
Under the new rules, how
ever, the draft boards will de
cide if each student is more im
portant to his country as a stu
dent or as a soldier, and state
ments like; “I forsee losing
quite a few students by Sep
tember,” by college officials
are becoming more and more
frequent.
The ambiguous nature of the
war in Viet Nam and the war’s
peril to life and limb require a
higher duty quotient than us
ual of those who are called to
serve.
But until the future army is
called to serve it will anxiously
check its collective mailboxes
each day in hopes of not seeing
what it fears will bring.
