Black Press Backlog Coming
By W .F. Taft
Staff Writer
The University library, un
der recommendations of the
Blaek Studies' program, is
acquiring microfilms of back
THE PRIME TIME
Rated [g] for Great Steaks
2303 West Broad Street
issues of nearly 90 major blaek
owned and controlled newspa
pers, according to Dr David
Foley, co-cordinator of the
Afro-American Studies pro
gram
Over 750 reels of microfilm
from 32 newspapers have al
ready been received and are in
the process of being catalogued
in the library for student use
FOLEY NOTED that. The
library, in an effort to strength
en the* University's resources in
the area of African and Afro-
American studies, co-operated
with the Black Studies program
in securing this important
collection
The first major purchase
has been a collection of com
plete files of back issues on
microfilm of the more impor
tant black owned and controlled
newspapers
'An effort is being made to
secure a complete file of back
issues of all newspapers pub-
lished by blacks in the state of
(ieorgia.' he added •Outside
of (ieorgia. emphasis has been
on the more nationally impor
tant newspapers
THE MICROFILMS are
being purchased from Bell and
Howell Co and the Library of
Congress Also, a major pur
chase has been 191 reels of the
Chicago Defender,' from the
University of Chicago Library
This represents 27.884 feet of
microfilm dating from 1909
through 1968
Those who are desirous of
studying black attitudes in the
United States cannot do so
Jhrough the white press for
news of the black community
and black attitudes was usually
ignored. Foley said, noting the
value of the purchase
"To gain some understand
ing of the development of black
attitudes toward issues both
local and national in scope, the
student must turn to the black
press and it is for this reason
that 1 regard the expansion of
our holdings as one of the most
important accomplishments of
the University's Afro-Ameri
can Studies program
Yarning shirirj?, %nmm%.
THE LIBRARY has already
filed 180 reels from the Libray
of Congress and has received
over 350 reels from Bell and
Howell. These represent 31 of

already being purchased by the
library.
Subscriptions to all those
periodicals that are still in

Lottery May
Take 300's
By Terry Hill
Staff Writer
The two-month-old draft lot
tery system now appears quag-
mired in uncertainty — the evil
it was supposed to reduce
Only those men with low lot
tery numbers have "benefited"
from the new system They
alone can plan their future with
surety.
ACCORDING TO to White
House fact sheet issued at the
time of the lottery, men with
lottery numbers in the lowest
third would be sure to be draft
ed. men with numbers in the
highest third would be relative
ly safe, and men in between
would simply have to wait for
results
"This is for the birds,"
commented Lt. Col. Charles H.
Unsay, deputy director of the Geor
gia Selective Service.
its smallest now," said Lind
say. "and, as deferred men are
brought back into the pool, it
will grow, especially in spring
and summer, when men gradu
ale and lose student defer
ments."
AS SOON AS a man loses his
deferment, if his lottery num
ber has already been called, he
will be placed back in the pool
and will be taken before those
whose numbers make them ei-
gible in the next draft call.
Enlistments and manpower
needs are variables to be consi
dered in determining the size of
calls.
"The recuirters say they
are having a hard time with
enlistments If the recruiters
aren't going to bring them in,
the Selective Service will have
to." Lindsay said
HE WAS confident that
number 360 will not be reached
He called the claim an "un
fortunate statement and add
ed. "Whoever made that state
ment must have had access to a
lot more figures than we do"
THE GREATEST source of
alarm is the fact that, this
month, all the local draft
boards in Georgia called up
men with lottery numbers
through number 30. the nation
ally-imposed limit for January
In all probability, the boards
will have to go through the
February limit of number 60 in
an effort to meet their quotas.
If such a rate continues, men
with lottery numbers of 360
could be drafted this year.
ADDING TO the anxiety is
the fact that the national calls
for January, 12,500 men, and
February 19,000 men. are con
sidered light Both fall below
the monthly average if 225.000
men are to be drafted this year,
as estimated by Defense Secre
tary Melvin R. Laird
WWOOWiWJ.v.W.ssv/^w.v.v.v,
"People hove been mislead by
the statement that a man is
vulnerable to the draft for
only one year."
Rumors that men from the
smaller counties are being dis
criminated against under the
new system proved false The
draft is run on a statewide basis
to reduce discrepancies be
tween local boards, according
to Lindsay
"I don't think a boy should be
penalized because he was bom
on the wrong side of the county
line." he said "There will be
no high numbers called before
lower ones"
The disproportionately high
lottery numbers being reached
might be the result of the pre
sent size of the manpower pool
"The draft pool is certainly at
"If the recruiters aren't going
to bring them in, the Selective
Service will have to."
this year "Something will have
to give before then"
Recent Nixon administration
proposals to eliminate student,
occupational, and parental de
ferments. if passed, will have a
tremendous impact upon the
draft pool Only medical stu
dents would be deferred under
thus plan Sophomores, juniors,
and seniors already possessing
2-S deferments wuuld be al
lowed to retain their defer
ments.
Commented an Athens Selec
tive Service official. "If the 2-S
deferments were dropped, it
would by no means do away
with college With all the man
power in the nation available
and only 225,000 to draft, the
men with higher numbers could
be certain they would not be
called
Lindsay noted that passage
of the new proprosals "depends
upon presidential push." He
said it would probably be a year
before they will be passed, if
they are passed at all
"THE PEOPLE have been
mislead by the statement that a
man is vulnerable to the draft
for only one year," Lindsay
said
If a man is not taken during
his first — and prime — year of
eigiblity, he is simply placed in
the next category Thus, if all
the nineteen-year-olds are
called in the next year, boards
will have to take men from his
category Considering how many
men are being drafted now with
eight age groups eigible. it is
plausible that in the future calls
could go past the nineteen-
vear-old group
