Last fall he helped consolidat opposition to the draft with hi recommendation that local draf boards reclassify and induct anti war protesters as soon as possible That order resulted in three col lege presidents, not normall thought of as a major force in th anti-draft movement, bar campu rhilitary recruiters until Hershey rescinded his order.

It has long been a goal of such groups as SDS to see an end to all student deferments. SDS has right- ly argued that such deferments are unfair. But SDS's basic reason for wanting deferments ended is that they "cushion" students against the impact of the war. Privileged Status Although students are more likely to oppose the war than other draft-age youth, their opposition is likely to be less active because their privileged draft status means the war does not touch them di- rectly. Opposition to the war is strongest on college campuses, but anti-draft workers have reasoned that it would be even stronger if students lost their privileged draft bay through graduate deferments. The first test of this impact will come April 20-30 when draft re- sistance groups have planned theirI third anti-draft week. The first. last October, was fairly successful, with several hundred men turning in draft cards. The second pretty much flopped except for a big demonstration in Boston. This third effort, drawing on students' discontent with the war and the greater likelihood of their being drafted, could be the most suc- cessful yet. Reach New High Other war opponents have also called for a national student strike against the war during that period. Earlier this strike had scant chances of success.
