NAUSEA, HEADACHES: General Library Construction Features Noise, Gases, Talk t Draft Law 'Violators' Ris all-up R tR Students Returning Cards To Boards To Lose Defermeits 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. -Daily-Th ANOTHER OPENING, ANOTHER SH When Soph Show's "Once Upon a Mattress" hits the boards in Lydia Mendelssohn Theatr the efforts of the Class of 1970 will be presented for public viewing for the first time.
