BELFAST, Northern Ireland
(R) - Sniper fire claimed the
first British army casualty in
Northern Ireland's religious
violence and new rioting
flared early today in several
parts of Belfast despite the
p r e s e n c e of bayonet-toting
troops.
"The area of disturbance has
extended: Police and the military
are fully engaged," said a police
spokesman. "There is sniping from'
rooftops, rioting and sizeable
crowds in part of the city."
The Defense Ministry in London
said a British soldier was wounded
by a sniper's bullet, but that the
wound was not serious and he re-
turned to his post.
At 3 a.m. today, after 17 hours
of savage street fighting, police
reported two dead and 224
wounded, 62 by gunshot. This
brings the toll since Monday to
seven dead and 416 injured.
"Stay off the streets if you want
to stay alive," warned a Belfast
newspaper.
enrollment
drops 1,000
Enrollment for the summer half term dropped sharply,
this year over the comparable period last year, the University
reported yesterday.
Summer half enrollment stands at 12,745-about 1,000
fewer than last year.
The bulk of the decline came in the graduate school
where enrollment decreased by about 900 -- from 4j666 last
year to 3,757 this year.
Officials in the Office of Academic Affairs said the de-
cline probably indicates that some students who might have
begun or continued graduate study in other years are now
either in military service or in draft-exempt occupations.
Under a 1967 revision of the' draft law, most students

As it rumbled along, a brief controversy swirled
over its routing through Ohio.
A spokesman for the railroad that took over
in Indiana, the Baltimore & Ohio, said the train
would have to be cleared at the Ravenna, Ohio,
ordnance plant before final delivery.
However, the plan was abandoned and the B&O
later announced the army and the U.S. Depart-
ment of Transportation had requested the train
be sent on.!
The original announcement, declaring there'
were- serious questions about the delivery of the
train, said: "the cars pose no threat in their pres-
ent c6ndition while standing at the Ravenna
ordnance plant and will be moved under all pos-
sible safeguards when the B&O is given further
instructions for the handling of this train."
But the later statement, apparently released
before the train arrived at the ordnance plant,
said: "In compliance with requests py the Army
and the Department of Transportation, the Balti-

celed its plan to hold the special

night.
Students enrolled in classes of-
fered by the literary college-both
undergraduates and graduate stu-
dents-number 3,233, down from
last year's 3,989.
Part of the difference is attrib-
utable to, the general decline in
graduate enrollment. In addition,
277 students are enrolled in the
newly established library science
school. Last year these students
were counted in the literary col-
lege totals.

from last year's 159. The dental
school has 27 student technicians,
down from 30 last year.

school enrolled 597 in the sum-

The conferences this year were
held in the spring half term.
The engineering college has 584

NY draft
board hit
y vandals
NEW YORK ti -- Vandals
broke into a Queens Selective
Service headquarters e a r 1 y
yesterday and ransacked files
and dumped draft records on
the floor. It was the third such
raid in the city in six weeks.
The police said they did not
know the extent of damage or
how anyone gained entry to the
offices.
Left behind at t h e Jamaica,
Queens, draft headquarters was a
note pinned to an American flag,
signed "O'utraged Citizens."
Police did not reveal the con-
tents of a typewritten note. It was
learned that the message indicat-
ed the intruders were the same
ones who vandalized a Bronx Se-
lective Service office Aug. 3. Dam-
age there was slight and opera-
tions were not hampered.
The Queens note said the raid-
ers would reveal their identities
later in Washington and New
York.
The Queens center on the top
floor of a two-story building
houses records of six local draft
boards in that county.
About an hour after dawn, The
Associated Press received a tip on
the Queens raid by a young man
who refused to give his name. He
said over the telephone: "All the
I-A files were disrupted. They
were torn up and paint was poured
on them."
The anonymous caller said he
was not a member of the raiding
party, which he described as "a
group of outraged Americans who;
just came together."
Last July 1, a group of women
vandalized a Manhattan draft
headquarters, scattering files of
13 local boards and leaving behind
an anti-Vietnam war leaflet.
Two days later, six women were
arrested at an antidraft demon-
stration in Rockefeller Center af-
