The long waits seem to be the
major irritant to the system's
users. Still, the general attitude
among students is that if the
automated system can be im-
proved to the point where there
is little waiting, then they would
consider it more desirable than
an open reserve system.

From Wire Service Reports
College students who have turn-
ed in their draft cards to Selective
Service offices as a protest gesture
against the Vietnam War and the
draft itself face the prospect of
immediate call-ups or criminal
prosecution.
Lt. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, di-
rector of the Selective Service
System, has told local draft boards
that college deferments should be
denied men who refuse to carry
their classification cards or who
physically interfere with armed
forces recruiting officers visiting
college campuses.
Instructions
The office of Michigan Selective
Service director Col. Arthur Hol-
mes said all local draft boards,
have beenainstructed to process
as delinquents those registrants'
who willfully abandon or mutilate
registration certificates and classi-
fication notices.
Col. Holmes said individuals still
have the right to freedom of;
speech and peaceful demonstra-
tion. "We are concerned only with
those who engage in criminal
violation of the Selective Service
Act or who impede the procure-
ment of manpower," Holmes ex-
plained.
Refusals
To date, the national Selective
Sei'vice headquarters has formallyj
refused to accept draft cards turn-
ed in by protesters. Instead, they
have sent the cards to local boards'
of the registrants.
Hershey said registrants without
their cards should be reclassified
as available for service, with their
names advanced to the top of draft
lists.

Kelley is responding to two
