COLLEGE SURVEY:
Favor Non-Military Service,
End of Student Deferments

Sixty-three per cent of the col-
lege students in a nationwide opin-
ion sampling believe they should
not be deferred from the draft so-
lely because they are students.
Seventy-five per cent would wel-
come alternatives to military serv-
ice such as the Peace Corps, the
Teacher Corps or Volunteers in
Service to America (VISTA).
The sampling was made by the
U.S. National Student Association
in a poll of 30,500 Students at 23
colleges and universities.

Other findings reveal:
1 68 per cent believe military
conscription is necessary at times
ether than a national emergency.
* 68 per cent are not satisfied
with the current Selective Service
system.
! 6 per cent favor a draft lot-.
tery ssytem as they understood it
would work.
0 90 per cent said the nation
can justifably call citizens for
military conscription:

LBJ's Draf tCommission
To Report Within 2 Weeks

WASHINGTON (P) -The Na-t
tional Commission on Selectivec
Service will present a voluminous
study of the draft to Presidenta
Johnson within two weeks, sources
said Thursday. The commission
had originally been ordered to re-s
port by Jan. 1.
"We are late but I'm not em-e
barrassed," one official said.i
"We've been looking over the1
Issues pretty carefully."c
Many of the commission's key
decisions were reached duringF
meetings in December and early
January, this informant said, but
the actual writing of the reportt
was delayed.
.Johnson set up the 20-memberr
commission last summer in thef
wake of student protests and dis-t
satisfaction with the draft. He
named Burke Marshall, formers
Justice Department .official, as di-1
rector and ordered the commissionc
to make an exhaustive study oft
the Selective Service.f
Johnson told Congress in his
State of the Union message Jan.
10, "We should modernize our
Selective Service System."1
After he receives the commis-
sion's report, the President told the
legislators, "I will send you new
recommendations to meet our mil-
itary needs, but let us resolve that
this is to be the Congress that
made our draft laws as fair and as
effective as possible."
Sources said the commission, in
meetings last year, quickly ruled
out any radical changes in the
present system-such as the pro-
posed alternatives of a standing
professional army or a widespread
national service program.
The report is known, however,

That's why she reads KOZMO-

to call for an extensive shakeup
of the draft system and for setting
up national standards for student
and other deferments to reduce
inequities.
There have been reports that
some form of a modified lottery
will be proposed. Sources indicat-
ed such a proposed lottery would
involve only those youths classified
1-A. Deferments would continue
under the present basis.
A lottery plan proposed by Sen
Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass)
and others would assign a number
to all 18-year-olds found fit by
their local draft boards. Those.
who received educational defer-
ment would - after graduation
from college-go right back into
the lottery pool.
Commission members are known
also to have seriously debated the
Pentagon suggestion that the or-
der of draft be reversed to begin
taking 18- and 19-year-old youths
instead of the older men first.
Secretary of Defense Robert S.
McNamara told Congress in his
annual defense posture statement
that draft calls over the next 18
months will continue high. He said
that about 17,000 youths will be
inducted each month through this
June, and about 24,000 will be
drafted; monthly in the following
12 months.

agers in American high schools
favor the United States adopting
a National Service Program under
which they would be drafted for
involuntary service in non-military
activities, according to a nation-
wide ploll among junior and sen-
ior high school students conducted.
by Scholastic Magazines.
Seventy-seven percent of all
students polled favor such in-
voluntary service. Of the total
number of boys polled, 56 per cent
said they would still opt for mili-
tary service; less than a quarter
(23%) said they would choose
non-military activities (such as
the Peace Corps, Medical Corps,
VISTA, Job Corps or related pro-
grams) if available; and 18 per
cent were undecided.
Draft for Women
Involuntary service for women
was favored by 46 per cent of the
high school female students inter-
viewed. Such involuntary national
service for them should include
"tasks of protecting, conserving
and developing our country or
those countries we wish to aid."
Fifty-two per cent of more than
2,500 selected students queried an-
swered "yes" to the question:
"Should every ablebodied Amer-
ican boy 18 years old be required
to go into the Armed Forces for
at least one year?" Thirty-two
per cent answered "no," and 14
per cent had no opinion.
If a National Service Program
were adopted, 52 per cent of the
boys said they do not think non-1
military service should be any
longer than military service.
Lottery System
Only 20 per cent favor a lottery
system, and 30 per cent have no
opinion.
Students against a lottery sys-
tem list four main objections: 1)
It would substitute chance for
judgment (52%); )2) It would
not provide a fair hearing for de-
serving individuals (52%); 3) It
would be no improvement over the
present ssytem (47%); and 4) It
would no enable the Armed Forces
to have the men they want (41%).

"Incident at Vichy"

The University Players' Box Office will open for the Arthur Miller
Festival in Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre tomorrow; box office hours will
be Monday and Tuesday, February 6-7, 12:30-5 P.M. and Wednesday
through Saturday, February 8-11, 12:30-8 P.M. The first play in the
Miller Festival, "Incident at Vichy," opens on Wednesday for a four-
day run. All performances are at 8 P.M. sharp!
(The following is an article on INCIDENT AT VICHY written by
Arthur Miller for The New York Times.)
By ARTHUR MILLER
"Incident at Vichy" is based on a true story told to me about ten
years by a friend of mine. It never occurred to me that it could be a
play until this spring (1963), when it suddenly burst open complete
in almost all its details. It has been called a play whose theme is "Am
I my brother's keeper?" Not so, "Am I my own keeper?" is more
.orrect.
I think most people seeing this ploy are quite aware it is not
"about Nazism," or a wartime horror- tale; they do understand that
the underlying issue concerns us now, and that it has to do with our
individual relationships with injustice and violence., It was not to set
forth a hero, either as a fact of history or as an example for us now,
that I wrote this play, but to throw some light on evil. The good and
evil are not compartments but the two elements of a transaction.
