SUPPORTED BY ACLU:
Draft Protesters File Suit
Constitutionality of Classif
Seventeen young men last week
filed suit in Federal District
Court to restrain the Selective
Service System from practices
they believe are illegal. These
practices include the reclassifica-
tion and declaring delinquent of
those who protest the war in Viet-
nam, turn in their draft cards or
take other similar actions.
Defendants in the civil action
are General Lewis B. Hershey, di-
rector of the Selective Service
System; Colonel Arthur Holmes,
Michigan director; and 12 Mich-
igan draft boards.
Plaintiffs include men who
have been reclassified and/or de-
clared delinquent as well as those
who have refrained from taking
legal action against the govern-
ment and selective service policies
for fear of the consequences. Most'
are members of the Draft Resis-
tance Committee.
Attorneys for the suit are being
provided by the American Civil
Liberties Union, which is support-
ing the suit.
A spokesman for the group
made the following statement at
a press conference held Friday,
Jan. 5:
"The draft system in this coun-
try has long been used not only
to supply men for military adven-
tures in foreign countries and re-
cently at home as well but also as
a weapon of intimidation against
the yqung men of this nation.
"We refuse to be intimidated.

WASHINGTON (CPS) - The
Department of Labor is planning
to finance a unique new program
designed to encourage college stu-
dents and young people to work
together at fighting poverty and
unemployment in cities.
The program will be unique be-
cause the Labor Depatment plans
to fimd projects developed by stu-
dents and young people at the
local level. The main role of the
government will be to provide the
resources needed for implementing
the projects.
Secretary of Labor Willard Wirtz
said the new program will give
young people the opportunity to
work on the problems of cities
"without getting too involved with
the Establishment."
Young People
The initial phase of the pro-
gram will be financed by a grant
of $300,000 in Manpower Develop-
ment and Training Act experi-
mental and demonstration funds.
Wirtz said the authority for
granting funds to specific projects
will be entirely in the hands of
an Executive Review Board com-
posed of seven Labor Department
management' interns. All of the
interns are young people in their
early 20's just out of college.
The emphasis will be completely
on the young people," Wirtz said.
"We're going to keep our hands
off of it."
The program calls for the de-
velopment at the local level of
"boards" composed of college stu-
dents and young community resi-
dents in poverty areas. These
boards will develop and operate
projects to meet community in-
terests and needs though. the ex-
tensive use of student volunteers.
The management interns at the
Labor Department will fund the
projects through the boards, but
will not direct them.
Man Power
Management intern Fritz Kra-
mer said, "We are keeping the
guidelines for the projects as
broad as possible, but we are in-
terested in manpower primarily."
Local boards will be encouraged to
develop manpower-related proj-
ects that reach the poor on a one-
to-one basis through the use of
volunteers.
.Wirtz is enthusiastic about the
program because of his belief that
the remaining unemployment in
this country is more the result
of personal than economic prob-
lems. Many of the problems of
the poor require case-by-case,
person-by-person attention, which
is where government programs are
least effective, accord to Wirtz.
The new program was develop-
ed by 25 management interns who
call themselves the Coalition for
selected seven areas for initial
concentration. They are Austin,
Boston, Milwaukee, the Mississip-
pi Delta, Philadelphia, San Jose,
and Washington, D.C.
"Although we are starting with
only seven areas, there may be
many more than seven projects,"
Kramer said.
Intern Paul Minkoff, who heads
the Executive Review Board, said
the $300,000 is budgeted for only
six months on an experimental
basis. "If the program is success-
ful, there won't be enough money,
but when the initial grant runs
out we will go back for more," he
said.
Minkoff said the program could
include a wide variety of projects,
such as day care centers, infor-
mation centers, or tutorial pro-
grams. He said one of the initial
proposals calls for students to set
up a center to disseminate in-
formation in poverty areas about
government programs designed to
serve the poor.

WASHINGTON (CPS) -- An
overwhelming majority of enter-
ing college freshmen believe fac-
ulty'members are more competent
to set the curricula, but a large
group also believe faculty pay
should be based on student evalu-
ations of their performances.
A study- of 185,848 freshmen
who entered 252 colleges and uni-
versities this fall shows that 85.3
per cent believe faculty members
should determine the curricula,
while 62.2 per cent believe faculty
salaries should be based on stu-
dent evaluations.
The study, conducted by the
American Council on Education
(ACE), also shows that 52.2 per
cent believe colleges are not too
lax in dealing with student dem-
onstrators and that college ad-
ministrations should be allowed to
censor student publications.
Lower Voting Age
Other results showed that 64.9
per cent want the voting age low-
ered to 18, some 56.7 per cent
don't want colleges to give prefer-
ential admissions treatment to the
disadvantaged, only 39.5 per cent
believe the college has the right
to ban extremist speakers, and
only 20.8 per cent favor de-em-
phasizing college sports.
Although 56 per cent said the
main benefit of a college educa-
tion is increased learning power,
82.9 per cent rated "developing a
meaningful philosophy of life" as
an important objective, 67.8 per
cent "becoming an authority on a
special subject in my special
field," 61.8 per cent "helping
others who are in difficulty," and
50.6 per cent "keeping up to date
with political affairs." Less than
a majority, 46.4 per cent, said
"being successful in a business of
my own" is essential or very im-
portant.
Most of the freshmen were
concerned about financing their
education, with 57 per cent ex-
pressing some concern, 8.6 per
cent major concern, and 34.4 per
cent no concern. Parental and
family funds were the source of
money for 54.8 per cent, personal
savings and earnings for 27.3,
scholarships and grants for 17.5
and loans for 13.2.
Only 4.7 per cent said they ex-
pected to participate in a campus
demonstration, while 30.8 per
cent expected to join a fraternity
or sorority.
Thirteen per cent expected to
transfer to another college, 16.6
per cent to change their major,
and 17.6 per cent to change their
career choice. Less than two per
cent expect to drop out either
temporarily or permanently.
Minority Undecided
The top five majors were busi-
ness (16.2 per cent), education
(10.5), engineering (9.5 per cent),
fine arts (8.6 per cent), and psy-
chology, sociology or anthropol-
ogy, 7.8 per cent. Only 1.8 per
cent were undecided about their
majors.
Only 10.1 per cent of freshmen
are non-caucasians with 4.3 per
cent Negroes, 0.7 per cent Indians,
0.8 per cent Oriental, and 4.4 per
cent other.
The ACE, the nation's largest
and most influential higher edu-
cation association, conducted a
similar study last year and plans
on continuing the surveys for sev-
eral more years in an effort to
examine the attitudes and be-
havior of students. Further studies
will try to determine how these
attitudes change.
The results were statistically
weighed to represent the nation's
total estimated freshman enroll-
ment of 1.3 million. The study in-
cluded both two-and four-year
schools.

Come live and work with us in
Southern California. Aside from the
.fact that Southern California is the
advanced technology capital of the
world, we'd also like to mention that
the weather is great, sports and enter-
tainment are unlimited, and all the
girls are beautiful.
Now about us. We're just complet-
ing our first major nuclear station,
the 450,000 kw capacity San Onofre
facility.It will be the largest in the U.S.
when it completes the check-out phase
and goes on line.
We have more nuclear stations in
the planning stages, including a combi-

tion plant.

even further ahead to direct conversion
methods: thermionics, thermoelectrics,
and magnetohydrodynamics.
Grow With Us
pace with the electrical demands of
Southern and Central California. By
1975,we'llalso have doubled our total
plant and equipment investment to
more than five billion dollars. And
we'll probably have to double again in
the eight years after that. We need top
engineering talent. Electrical engi-
neers, mechanical engineers, civil
engineers, chemical engineers, and

We offer good starting salaries and
opportunities for rapid advancement.
Our master's program will pick up the
