Sunday, December 7, 1969 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Seven' Sunday, December 7, 1969 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Seven Lottery prompts draft questions DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN r ------- (Continued from Page 3) commissioned officer in. charge of a reserve unit in Miami. "I'm planning to duck into the Reserves," said Paul Lipson, a Brooklyn college student, who is number 80 in the lottery list. "A lot of my friends are thinking of doing that." Others plan to join ROTC, among them Raymond Argila of Seaford, N.Y., who explained: "That means I can get deferred while I go to law school. Then maybe I can be an Air Force lawyer during my term of serv- ice." "It looks like the lottery will lead to an increase in o u r ranks," said Maj. David Har- bach, of the ROTC at St. John's university in New York. Meanwhile, the telephones continue to ring at draft head- quarters. "We tell them their numbers were published in the paper and they could look up their status as well as we could," said Geor- gia's Selective Service direct- or, Brig. Gen. Mike Y. Hen- drix. One exception was noted in an Associated Press sampling. In two South Dakota counties not a single call has been receiv- ed about the lottery. Said a spokesman: "Good thing- I don't know anything about it either." Unable to get through to their draftboards, SouthernC a i- fomnians inundated the draft counseling serviceat the Uni- versity of Southern California with queries. The Charleston, W. Va., draft headquarters received a long- distance call from a youth in Miami, due for induction in West Virginia in January under a delayed enlistment program. His was number 366 and last in the lottery and he implored: "Can't we back this deal up?" The answer, with sympathy, was no. A mother called Col. James L. Hays, Maryland director of Se- lective Service, demanding to know the draft status of her 17- year-old son so she could plan for his future. There was no answer to that one, since the minimum lottery age is 19. Stewart Perry, chairman of a Rochester, N.Y., board said he called police after an irate youth was was number 43 in the lot- tery threatened to blow up Perry's house. "We have wives calling to see if their husbands will be draft- ed, deferred men asking if de- ferments will continue - you name a question, we've got it," said Helen Bowers, executive secretary of the Albuquerque, N.M., draft board. "The phones are lit up, prac- tically all the time," said Lilyan C. Cook, executive secretary of a Miami draft board. "I have a boy sitting at my desk now who couldn't get through the other day. As a rule you can look at all of our lines and they're all red."* Said Mrs. Juanita Armstrong, supervising executive secre- tary of Phoenix, Ariz., boards: "We have had continuous calls since the dates were drawn. As soon as one line clears, it rings again. We know the regulations, but have not been informed of the procedures." Cleveland draft boards report- ed themselves snowed u n d e r with calls - including some who simply want the board to settle arguments over the lot- tery setup. But their questions often go unanswered, for lack of infor'mation. Ohio Selective Service head- quarters said calls have aver- aged 500 per day and a spokes- man said: "The press has done a real nice job. Without them, we would have had a million calls.' Additional phone lines had to be installed in West Virginia draft headquarters, in Charles- ton. "About half of the calls we get involve the lottery," said Col. John W. Brokaw, upstate New York Selective Service direc- tor in Albany. "There's a cur- iosity about where they stand I have no way of knowing at this point exactly how many people I have who were born on Sept. 14, for example." Armed forces recruiting al1s o has been affected. A Navy re- cruiter in Albany said s o m e youths with a high lottery prior- ity have volunteered, w h i l e others with a low priority have dropped out of the recruiting procedure, "There really hasn't been any meaningful change - they've kind of equalized each other out," he added. Army recruiters in Seattle re- ported a 300 per cent increase in telephone inquiries, while the Air Force reported a 50 per cent rise. Air Force and Coast Guard recruiters i n Massachusetts noted increased calls from youths shopping around for a program requiring the shortest term of active duty. Some ex- pressed willingness to drop out of school temporarily to fulfill active duty requirements and thus be free of the draft. Callers also include youths already under orders to report for induction. They want to know if a low priority lottery number means a reprieve. The answer was no. Others with a high priority lottery number ask if they can enlist, or if they have to wait until they are called. They are told they don't have to wait. In Minneapolis, many callers ask about deferments, and are told there has been no change in deferment status as a result of the lottery. Others with low priority lottery numbers want to drop deferments and take 1-A status, on the theory they von't be called during their period of eligibility, and thus will be free of the threat now hanging over them when their deferments end. "They're being told, take it easy," said Col. Robert P. Knight. Minnesota state director of selective service. "It's too early to tell how things will work out. We don't know yet how far it will go." The Sioux Falls, S.D., draft board reported a flurry of calls from young fathers who wanted to know if they are liable under the lottery drawing. They were told the point has not been made clear, but the assumption is draft-age fathers will be de- ferred. In all the hubbub, Kevin Hughes of New York, is high and dry on his own little island of security. His birthday is June 8, and his number came up 366th and last in the lottery. "I view it with mixed emo- tions," he said. "Although I had nothing to do with it, I feel almost like a draft dodger. But don't get me wrong. I don't plan to sign up." OUR SPECIALTY!
