Deferments

To End in '68; Lottery

To Start in '69

Some Defermen
By DAVID KNOKE
President Johnson's proposed'
lottery system to replace the cur-
rent selective system for the mil-
itary draft is scheduled to go into
effect on Jan. 1, 1969.
Before the system takes full ef-'
fect, however, the process of tran-
sition is likely to see the end to
most draft deferments, probably
by the middle of 1968.
The President is asking Con-
gressional action . to extend the
current draft law, due to expire
June 30, for four mode years. If
Congress grants his request, he

Otis Smith
Appointed to
Regental Post
Former State Justice
Named by Romney as
First Negro Regent
By STEPHEN WILDSTROM
F o r m e r Michigan Supreme
Court Justice Otis M. Smith was
appointed to the University Board
of Regents yesterday by Gov.
George Romney.
Smith, a Democrat, was the first
Negro to serve on the Supreme
Court and will be the first Negro
to serve as a Regent. He will com-
plete the term of Alan Sorenson
(D-Midland) who resigned in Jan-
uary. The term.expires January 1,
1971.
Smith joins seven Republican
Regents on the eight-man board.
Smith served on the high court
from 1961 until last year when his
re-election bid was unsuccessful.
Prior to his appointment as a Jus-
tice, he served as assistant prose-
cutor in Genessee County, chair-
man of the state public services
commission and as State Auditor
General.
Smith, 45 years old, is currently
employed in the legal division of
General Motors Corp. in Detroit.
Smith said, "It is a distinct pri-
vilege to serve the people of Mi-
chigan in any capacity. I am es-
pecially grateful for the opportun-
ity to serve on the Board of Re-
gents of Michigan's finest Univer-
sity and one of the,world's best."
Gov. Romney said, "I am de-
lighted that Otis ' Smith has ac-
cepted this appointment. The Uni-
versity and the entire state will
benefit from the public service ex-
perience and the personal attri-
butes he brings to his new respon-
sibilities. I know he will make a
definite contribution to higher ed-
ucation."
University President H a r 1 a n
Hatcher said, "The University is
fortunate to have the service of
Otis Smith as a Regent and we
welcome him to the board.
Smith is a native of Memphis,
Tenn. He attended Fisk and Syra-
cuse Universities and graduated
from the Catholic University Law
School in 1950. He received Catho-
lic University's National Alumni
Award in Government in 1961.

cases, especially that of Borden
Dairy Company vs. the Federal
Trade Commission, 1964.
Justice Clark's presence attests
to the national fame of the Moot
Court competition. However, the
other judges are also well-known
and qualified. Elman was involved
in the original Borden Dairy Com-
pany case while McCree has long
been active in this area.
"This is one of the most import-
ant student activities of the law
school" according to Dean Allan.
"Many other schools, recognizing
the value of such an activity, also
have case club student organiza-
tions, many of which are a requir-

ed.
