Senator pushes to
repeal draft-aid law
(Continued from Page 1)
In a Minnesota lawsuit, filed in
December by the civil liberties union
and the Minnesota Public Interest
Research group on behalf of six
anonymous students, Judge Donald
Alsop ruled that the law discriminated
against college-aged male students who
need financial aid.
Alsop also said that automatically
denying aid to students who failed to
register strips away rights to due
process and is self-incriminating.
The law, proposed by Rep. Gerald
Solomon (R-N.Y.) might also be exten-
ded to other people receiving federal
benefits such as welfare or job training
programs.
Solomon contends that people should
only receive federal funds if they com-
ply with Selective Service law.
About 96 percent of men nationwide
have complied with Selective Service
laws leaving an estimated 106,000 non-
registrants.
CORRECTION
The Daily incorrectly reported in
Tuesday's paper that about 75 percent
of homosexual men are AIDS victims.

tract AIDS are homosexual men.

Tough cookies
THE BEAVER COUNTY, Pa. Girl Scout Council, trying to recover about
$1,100 in unpaid cookie bills, is suing the parents of about 14 Girl Scouts.
It's the fourth year in a row the council has filed the suit to recover money
from the annual cookie sale. "The first year, I felt terrible," said Wende
Reynolds, executive director of the council. "Since then, I realized I have a
responsibility to the Girl Scouts." If parents refuse to pay even after the suit
has been filed, they could lose their homes in a sheriff's sale. "That's the
only recourse we have," Reynolds said. The outstanding money is all owed
to the council. Reynolds said the manufacturer and various troops have been
paid.
