Needs
By JENNIFER ANNE RHEA
The national shortage in quali-
fied, available persons for elemen-
tary and secondary teaching posts
has led to a flood of requests for
University graduates far in ex-
cess of persons registered with the
Bureau of Appointments and Oc-
cupational Information.
Evart W, Ardis, director of the
Bureau, described the academic
year 1965-66 as "the busiest, most
rewarding year the University has
experienced in the placement of
its graduating seniors and alumni.
"Business, industry, government
and institutions descended on our
campus in unprecedented numbers
searching for graduates in all dis-
ciplines. Salaries moved upward,

only one Michigan State University student had done so.
AN AKRON UNIVERSITY student is suing the school be-
cause he was refused a college degree and is in danger of being
drafted before he completes his studies.
William R. McClenathen II, who still is studying at Akron,
says he faces possible induction into the armed forces because he
lost his student deferment in January, when he was supposed to
graduate. McClenathen was refused a degree because he missed
the required "C" average by .0047 of a point. He said he had a
"C" average in three of four categories but failed to hold the
average in over-all work.

The first meeting of the Presi-

the Student in University Decision

little remaining of the thunder of
last December's student protests.
University President Harlan
Hatcher, in charging the commit-

"sit down in a relaxed atmos-

issues.

To Suggest
Lottery Plan
Top Priority Given
181/2, 19-YearOlds
In Draft Revisions
WASHINGTON R) - The Na-
tional Commission on Selective
Service will tell President John-
son next week the nation's draft
laws must be revolutionized to
provide for a lottery and the
drafting of youngest men first.
Sources said commission mem-
bers believe these changes, if im-
plemented into law by Congress,
will go a long way toward ending
built-in inequities and unfairness
of the present system.
Ends Discrimination
In particular, insiders said, it is
thought the new proposals will
help end complaints that the pres-
ent system discriminates against
the culturally deprived Negro who
is not able to get a student defer-
ment.
"I think the lottery system is
going to be protection against any
possible racial discrimination," one
source said. "As a matter of fact,
it should help reduce it."
Another source said "there's
nothing in the drafting of young-
est first that would discriminate
against anybody. The issue of dis-
crimination does not come in at
all."
Under the commission's plans,
all youth's 181/2 and 19 would have
top priority in the draft classifica-
tion instead of men 26, 25 and
24, as is the case now. After reg-
istration and examination, these
youths would enter the 1-A clas-
sification pool and be chosen for
the draft by lot.
Deferments Continue
The commission's plans at pres-
ent, sources said, call for the con-
tinuance of student deferments,
but with this significant change:
after graduation the student must
go back into the lottery pool and
th'us face the same exposure to
the draft as youths who elected
to delay their education.
There also are reports that the
commission will propose that grad-
ual abolition of student defer-
ments be given strong consider-
ation. But sources said the defer-
ment programs would continue-
at least for the present-under the
commission's recommendations.
The commission rejected any al-
ternative to the existing system,
including the proposed all-volun-
teer professional standing Army
and the concept of national serv-
ice in lieu of armed service which
has been advocated by many lead-
ing administration officials.
Commission members decided to
stay with the present Selective
Service set-up, the sources said,
but agreed it must be drastically
revised,
National Standards
Specifically, the commission will
propose that clear, uniform na-
tional standards for the classifica-
tion of all draft-age men be pro-
mulgated and thus eliminate the
present reliance on the more than
4,000 local draft boards in the
nation. The boards have 'inter-
preted Selective Service guidelines
in a myriad of conflicting ways.
Commission members also are
reported to feel at this time that
a national draft call should be
established in place of the current
method of assigning quotas on a
local basis. This, the sources said,
JAMES G. MILLER
is primarily noted for his research
in general systems. His studies
have centered on living systems
with emphasis on behavior theor-
ies. Systems theory aids research-
ers in creating mathematical and
computerized models of living
systems and is applicable to such
fields as health sciences and edu-
cation.
Since 1955
Miller has been at the Univer-
sity since 1955 and is one of the
founding directors of the Mental
Health Research Institute.
Miller explained that he has had
no direct experience in top-level
academic administration 'in the
past, but came in contact with the
field through his work as prin-
cipal scientist for the Inter Uni-
versity Communications Council
(EDUCOM).
EDUCOM aims at practical ap-
plication of systems theory to
higher education. The amount of
knowledge being made available
daily results in what is known as
an "information overload," ac-
cording to Miller. The aim of -
EDUCOM is to apply new develop-
ments in communication science
to facilitate the spread and stor-
age of this information.
Harold L. Enarson, president of:
Cleveland State university, re-
quested that Cleveland State be
made a laboratory school for
EDUCOM techniques. He has em-
ployed Miller as a special consul-
tant since Oct. 17. Cleveland State,
created late in 1964, now has about;
3,000 students and expects 20,000 m
full-time students by 1980. da

"He wants to participate fully in

A mass meeting, called by stu-
dents in the School of Social Work
yesterday in Trueblood Aud., heard
faculty representatives and con-
cerned students express views on
pending curriculum revisions.
Dean Robert D. Vinter told an
audience of some 150 students and
faculty that he could see an "es-
calation of expectations" of stu-
dents that might result in agita-
tion for immediate implementa-
tion of curriculum reforms.
He expressed hope, however,
that a gradual "phase-in of por-
tions and sections" of the new
curriculum would begin as early
as next fall.
Election of an executive board
to the newly formed Social Work
Student Organization is scheduled
to be completed today with the
final balloting of the three day
elections to take place between
,11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. in the
fourth floor lounge of the Frieze
Bldg.
Students in the case work, group
work and community organization
areas of the school each submitted
prepared statements on the cur-
riculum revisions and the roles of
students and faculty in academic
decisions which they had been
preparing for several weeks prior
to yesterday's meetings.
Vinter emphasized three goals
for the curriculum committee-
composed of faculty members and
individual students without rep-
resentative status-to consider in
drafting proposals for a curricu-
lum that would provide "con-,
tinuous change."
To extend the breadth and
scope of the curriculum to include
a full range of professionalroles
and tasks" and a broader range of
knowledge from the social sci-
ences.
9 To encompass variations in
instructions needed by students
with different backgrounds and
aspirations.
* To design a curriculum with
flexibility that would permit more
individualized study and reduce
"arbitrary and formal require-
ments."
The elections of officers to the
student organization center around
issues raised by the curriculum
