By ROBERT HIPPLER

BERKELEY - Debate on the1
draft and proposals for politicalI
action dominated the . National
Conference of Students for a
Democratic Society here Dec. 27-
S31.
A two day meeting of the Na-
tional Council - composed of de-!
legates from SDS chapters around
the country-was followed by two
days of smaller workshops, which
covered subjects including elec-
toral politics, student power, edu-
cational changes, white radicalsj
and black, student syndicalism,
the hippy revolt, and the high
schools and junior colleges,
The schedule for the National
Council had originally called for
first taking up procedural and
organizational issues, such as the
set up of the national office, and
later ideological issues, such as
the draft. But a determined group
of delegates, including Eric Ches-
ter from Voice, the local SOS2
chapter, campaigned for and won
a reversal of the agenda. Ideologi-
cal issues came first.
Itturned out that the draft
proposals took so long that proce-
dural and organizational issues
were entirely crowded off the
agenda.
By a vote of 53 to 10, the Na-1
tional Council passed probably
the most militant anti-draft pro-
gram any major student group
has yet approved.
The draft resolution commits
SDS to the "organization of unions
of draft resisters, united by the
common basic principle that un-
der no circumstances will they al-

The Resoluti

Following are portions of
the anti-draft resolution adopt-
ed by the SDS National Coun-
cil in Berkeley Dec. 28.
1) SDS reaffirms its opposi-
tion to the U.S. government's
immoral, illegal, and genocidal
war against the Vietnamese
people in their struggle for self-
determination.
2) SDS reaffirms its opposi-
tion to conscription in any
form . . .
3) SDS recognizes that the
draft is intimately connected
with the requirements .of the
economic system and the for-
eign policy of the U.S.
4) SDS opposes and will or-
ganize against any attempt to
legitimize the Selective Service
System by reforms. The pro-
posals for a lottery or for com-
pulsory national service would
not change the essential pur-
pose of the draft-to abduct
young men to fight in aggres-
sive wars.
5) SDS believes that a sense
or urgency must be developed
that will-move people to leave
the campus and organize a
movement of resistance to the
draft and the war, with its base
in poor, working class, and
middle lass communities.
6) SDS therefore encourages
all young men to resist the
draft. Sinse individual protest
cannot develop the movement

said. "Part of tils is our fault. We
feel we haven't really learned to
talk to them."
One of CNP's main problems
now is financial - to pay off the
sizable debt run up by the Scheer
campaign. The campaign cost
$12,000, easily twice as much
as Scheer's opponent, Jeffery
Cohelan.
The debt has been trimmed to
just under $8,000: staffers say
paying it off is" a prerequisite to
future effective functioning of the
CNP." Once its paid off, "at least
we'll be able to concentrate on
doing something again, not just
fund raising."
Staff members differ somewhat
on CNP chances in the upcoming
election but all agree that it will
be an uphill fight. CNP will run
at least three candidates for open
council seats, and according to
Haley has a fair chance of elect-
ing one or more members to the
council, which now has a Demo-
cratic majority.
"The Democratic organization
is' weaker now than it was two
years ago," partly as a result of
the Scheer campaign, he says.
In the Democratic primary Scheer
lost the Berkeley-Oakland area
by a 52-48 percentage, but he got
57 per cent of the Berkeley vote."
Austen stressed that "much de-

Questions raised included:
-How far right should a cam-}
paign like Scheer's go? The Berke-
ley Viet Nam Day Committee,
which was at first was a driving
force in the campaign, was near
the end called "extremist" by
Scheer people. The bitterness
caused by this has far from sub-
sided.
-Should a radical campaign try
to grab the Democratic nomina-
tion, like Scheer did, or run a

past: "The city should not be
afraid to proceed on some of the
preceding activities on adrevenue-
producing basis, financed by rev-
enue bonds."
In addition, the declaration as-
serts the city should take advan-
tage of a provision in the city
charter and take over the pres-
ent private power facilities in

There were delegates from
Michigan, Minnesota, Antioch,

among others. California dele-
gates included many from high
schools, particularly in Oakland,
Los Angeles and Riverside.
High school students from Riv-

a new "free high school" as an
alternative to the public school
system. Copies of a high school
newspaper, It, which students said
was banned at the high schools,
were distributed at the confer-
