U' PROFESSORS: Laud Service Option Proposal CollegiatePress Service WASHINGTON-A report re- leasd here last week charges dis- criination and bias prevent Jews' from holding top administrative posts in the nation's nonsectarian colleges and universities. The results of a six-month sur- vey of 775 nonsectarian private and public colleges and univer- sities were made public at a meet- ing of the American Jewish Com- mitt According to the results: -Although between 10 and 12 per cent of the 775 institutions' student bodies and faculties are composed of Jews, less than one per cent hold presidential posi- tions. No Jews Appointed -Since 1949, it is estimated ap- proximately 1,000 vacancies in the presidencies of public-supported institutions have occurred, but un- til the recent appointment of Dr. Martin Meyerson as president of the Buffalo campus of State Uni- versity of New York, no appoint- ments had gone to Jews. -Of the 1,720 deans in the 775 institutions, 45 or 2.6 per cent are Jews. Of these, 29 are in six institutions. In the remaining 769 institutions, there are only 16 Jewish deans, again fewer than one per cent. Only five of the 397 private col- leges and universities surveyed have Jewish presidents. These in- clude Bennington College, Bran- des University, which though Jewish-founded is nondenomina- tional, Chicago Medical School, Lincoln University and Sarah Lawrence College. Prejudice from Outside According to the report, preju- dice appears in positions where "the man chosen would represent the institution to the outside world. Those responsible for selec- tion evidently felt that if a Jew were picked for such a post, he might be handicapped by prejudice on the part of those with whom he .might deal." Morris B. Abram, AJC president, said the report would be forwarded to all groups in the community concerned with selection of college or university administrators, in- cluding boards of trustees, boards of regents, appropriate legislative committees and officials of the U.S. Office of Education. 'The Paper' Plans Issue For Today (Continued from Page 1) With The Paper still being sold on campus without the board's authorization the problem of the board's withdrawal appears to be a matter of principle. A major question raised by the situation concerns the action being taken against the publication as a whole, rather than against the individual authors of the respective articles and the editor as is usually done. -When asked if the same action would have been taken against the Michigan State News, Senger replied "in the case of the school newspaper, we would have been more likely to take disciplinary action on the individual editor rather than on the entire paper. XQwever, getting rid of Kindman would be like wiping out the en- tire paper anyway," concluded Senger. KZ indmnan's reply to this is that it illustrates his contention that the board's action was a result of past dissatisfaction with The Pa- per. Ebel said "the relationship between The Paper and the board has always been shaky, their ap- proach has been antagonistic rath- er than educational." "Whether or not the board's action will be followed by univer- sity action banning the distribu- tion of The Paper will very likely come clear today, when about 5000 issues of the newspaper are sched- uled to be sold on campus. Included in this issue will be a sequel to the May 12 story on nudity. "This issue will finally disclose the point of the story which was not made clear in the first article," quipped Kindman. Abram stressed the report did not advocate Jews being represent- ed among college and university administrators with any particular ratio. Reveal Facts "It's sole intent is to lay the facts on the table, as a first step toward remedial action," he ex- plained. Historically, campus barriers against Jews were raised in the 1920's, the report adds, while re- trictive policies were set up against Jewish teachers not long afterward. The Jewish teacher barriers came down in the late 1930's, and today Jews constitute more than 15 per cent of the faculties as such institutions as California, Colum- bia, Harvard, Pennsylvania, and Princeton, according to the report. Deferments Not Desirable For Program Volunteers (Continued from Page 1) cent of the 1.5 million served in some military capacity.. About 31 per cenit of the 1.5 million were rejected for physical or mental deficiencies. Another 25 per cent were qualified for serv- ice, it was estimated, but did not go into uniform. They neither vol- unteered nor were drafted. It is this latter group that U.S. officials apparently believe have the biggest obligation to perform some kind of service. Meanwhile, mounting congres- sional demands for an investiga- tion of the draft system culmin- ated yesterday in two separate House resolutions to do this. In the Senate, Sen. Gaylord Nel- son (D-Wis) called for appoint- ment of a presidential commission to review "many inconsistencies and inequities" in the Selective Service. Rep. William E. Minshall (R- Ohio) sponsored a resolution call- ing for appointment of a special House committee to investigate the draft system. Laws Not Adequate He said present Selective Serv- ice laws "no more fill today's mili- tary requirements than would the horse cavalry, the B-17 or the Springfield rifle." In the Senate, Nelson introduced a resolution asking that a special presidential commission report by next Feb. 1 "all alternative means available for meeting the nation's manpower needs." The ,proposal drew immediate verbal support from Sens. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass), Jacob K. Javits (R-NY) and Ernest Gruen- ing (D-Alaska). Gruening suggested that the mil- itary draft be suspended until the commission reports, saying that while thousands of South Vietna- mese are deserting their armed forces young Americans are being drafted to fight and die in sup- port of a corrupt and rotten re- gime. (Continued from Page 1) This left little doubt that the proposal had the full approval of the administration. A copy also went to the State Department. Idea 'a Concept' Moyers emphasized that McNa- mara's speech was "a concept" rather than a specific proposal, telling reporters he knew of no legislation being prepared on the subject. "Secretary McNamara was talk- ing about a concept of public serv- ice, a concept which the President has had for some time," Moyers said. The proposal seemed certain to spark a national debate. McNamara's suggestion; almost revolutionary in its scope and magnitude, brought a wide range of responses - from enthusiastic approval to flat rejection. ..'Community of Effort' In the proposal, McNamara sug- gested that a universal service program would be 'a step toward development of a worldwide "com- munity of effort." Questioned about it later, McNamara said it would include young women "but it will only be under a voluntary basis at first." Sargent Shriver, the Peace Corps' first director and now head of President Johnson's antipoverty agency, said: "From my own ex- perience in the Peace Corps and the war on poverty I know of the tremendous need for unselfish sevice at home or abroad. From that same experience, I know that America's youth is ready to re- spond." McNamara said his plan would overcome the present "inequality" of the military draft system, which calls up only a minority of eligible young men. In the legislation he hopes will "ultimately be enacted," he said, the choice to be put to a young man-the military or the Peace Corps, for example - would be voluntary, "at least initially." Security Depends on Progress He argued that international security in the thermonuclear age depends not on weapons but on economic, social and political pro- gress in the underdeveloped na- tions of the world. Rep. William Fitts Ryan (D- NY), together with a group of like - minded representatives and senators, planned to ask for a study of the U.S. draft system, with recommendations for changes along the lines suggested by Mc- Namara. But Sen. John Stennis (D-Miss), chairman of the Senate Prepared- ness Committee declared: "While I'm sure the secretary made his proposal in good faith, I don't think it would meet our mil- itary needs any better than pres- ent arrangements, and I'm /afraid it would tend to confuse the situa- tion." 'Utterly Preposterous' Rep. William Bray (R-Ind) call- ed it "utterly preposterous." He said Congress long ago buried the notion of universal military train- ing and would not permit drafting of young people into other forms of service. There were even objections from an unexpected quarter. Ben Sea- ver, a counselor on conscientious objection for the American Friends (Quakers) Service Committee, said "There are people who object to the government telling you how you have to spend two years of your life. These people will con- tinue to go to prison. The Students for a Democratic Society, long an advocate of some kind of alternative to the draft, said McNamara's proposal was "far from adequate." Paul Booth, national SDS sec- retary, said the plan is "in theory"] similar to one championed by anti- draft groups but is deficient in that the government would super- vise it and it wouldn't give young people a choice. Booth added: "We like to think that, if given the choice, this generation would choose to build instead of burn. I'm afraid of the compulsory as- pects of this. So many times, pro- jects have begun nonmilitary only to turn out to be military." There were other doubts on the grounds of expense. Universal military service-every young man serves, with no deferments except for physical reasons-was consid- ered during the Eisenhower ad- ministration but rejected because of the cost.
