PRINCETON, N. J. (CPS) - A 1
recent survey of more than 8001
deans at the nation's colleges+
shows that Vietnam' was the ma-
jor cause of organized protests by
college students during the 1967-
68 academic year.
Dormitory rules, civil rights,
and student participation in col-
lege government were, in that
order, the . next most frequently
protested issues on the nation's
campuses, according to the sur-
vey by the Educational Testing
Service (ETS).
The ETS report also notes that
organized groups demonstrating
against most issues rarely made
up more than ten per cent of a
college student body. Protesters
against U.S. policy in Vietnam,
for example, averaged about five
per cent of their respective stu-
dent bodies, according to the'

Alumnae

niay act on
bias lruling I
(Continued from page 1)
Several sororities in violation of
Panhel's resolutions are report-
edly considering establishing an
independent association apart
from the University to conduct
rush thereby bypassing the ban on
alumnae recommendations.
However, Mrs. Newell said last
night "there is a question whe-
ther those sororities would be re-
cognized as approved housing by
the University."
Advisors to at least two sorori-
ties were invited but declined to
attend the meeting. They are Mrs.
Robert Weaver, advisor to Alpha
Chi Omega, and Mrs. Roger Lin-
inger of Alpha Phi.
Mrs. Lininger said last n i g h t
shy "hopes the meeting would not
be ,interpreted as representative
of all the alumnae or all the sor-
ority women."
She said she was invited to the
session by Mrs. William C. Walz
an alumnae and national officer of
Kappa Kappa Gamma.

the Americans ror "our correct
revolutionary line" but it was not
clear just which line is being de-
fended: that of the Tet offensive1
or that of past years when guer-
rilla warfare was the order of the
day.
"We have built a pattern of life:
suitable to wartime conditions,"
it said. "The combat-oriented waya
of life has demonstrated our de-
termination to fight and defeat
the U.S. aggressors ... In t h e
present situation, to firmly main-
tain the combat-oriented way of
life is to highly demonstrate our
revolutionary offensive impetus
and revolutionary enthusiasm to1
fulfill most satisfactorily our duty
toward the anti-U.S. national sal-
vation struggle."
This duty is to step up produc-1
tion,. to see that e a c h person4
"works as two," to improve re-
sourcefulness and "not shrink be-
fore difficulties and hardships."
The "new situation" requires vigi-
lant "maintenance of public or-
der and hygiene and respect for1
state laws," among other things.I
The words "new situation,"1
cropping up frequently, are intrig-
uing. In the past few years, the
autumn has been the time when
North Vietnam's exhortations have
concerned preparation for the
"dong xuan" - the winter-spring
offensive to come. That was how
it was at this time last year.
Since the, according to Amer-
ican statistics, enemy losses in
the South have been enormous in
terms of troops killed and equip-
ment captured.
The Tet offensive appeared to
result from the thinking of Gen.
Vo Nkuyen Giap, North Vietnam's
top military man, and Le Duan,
t h e party's first secretary. Re-
cently, however, Truong Chinh,
once considered 'pro-Chinese, has
been making statements indicat-
ing that espousal of "people's war"
in the past, as opposed to the'use
of a big investment of regular
troops, had been justified.
North Vietnam in this "new sit-
uation" can negotiate for a lng
time, free of bombings and other
attacks on its soil. Hanoi still can
support the war in the same way
it supported the guerrillas before
it sent regular troops.
In the meantime, Hanoi and the
Liberation Font can revert to re-
newed political warfare in t h e
South's cities against the Saigon
regime while hoping for an ero-
sion of U.S. patience to set in.

make now-whether or not t h e
student had an undergraduate II-
S after June, 1967-leads to dif-
ferent interpretations in at least
two other cases.
Donahue says that if his inter-
pretation is correct, second and
third year graduate students who
lose their II-S can still qualify
under the III-A exemption, the
fatherhood clause. Under the 1967
draft law, students who have hada
a II-S as an undergraduate since
June, 1967, are not eligible to ap-
ply for I-S and III-A deferments,
if they lose their II-S for any rea-
son.
The second case concerns stu-
dents placed in draft priorites af-
ter losing their defenments. Dona-
hue says that second and third
year graduate students should go
into the draft pool only by their
age-oldest first from 26 down-.
but Hershey would lump all stu-
dents who lost II-S deferments
into one group, which means they
would be placed at the top of the
list.
It's important that we inform
as many students as possible,"
Greg Curtner, '70L, said 1 a s t
night. Curtner has helped Dona-
hue with his work.
"A student can only get a I-S
after he's received his induction
notice, and too many people don't
know that it is available," he said.
Yale and University law profes-
sors began their legal protest
against Hershey'se interpretation
of the 1967 draft act early this.
semester. Until then, a number of
students had been denied not only
I-S deferments, but even p o s t-
ponements for the remainder of
the term.
When Hershey revealed that in-

dividual exemptions would be con-
sidered for the academic term, the
law professors who had registered
the original complaint said he still
hadn't complied with the law.
"By limiting the deferment to
the academic term rather than the
academic year, the new policy
grants the students as a matter
of administrative grace only part
of what is rightfully theirs by act
of Congress," Donahue said at
that time.
University law professors and
students haveabeen prepared for
some time to test their arguments
in court, but no opportunity has
arisen in the state. Radcliffe was
ready to serve as a test case when
he received his I-S deferment
early last week.
Two Yale professors have
brought suit in a Connecticut
court over the drafting of a law
student, Donahue said last night.
"Professors here are ready to do
the same," he added.
The attempts at delays and
stays of induction are not just ex-
ercises in legal gymnastics. Many
students feel the time saved may
make a significant difference.
"We're buying time for change,"
Radcliffe says, "Draft laws, the
status of the war, or the demands
of the draft might all change be-
tween when they first try to in-
duct someone and when his legal
alternatives expire."
The I-S ruling is important.
Sources at the University Law
School report that a significant
number of students from the sec-
ond year class have already left
because of the draft-some into
the Army, some enlistments' to
b e a t conscription, some into
teaching and other deferable pobs.
