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. About 75 percent of the people who con- tract AIDS are homosexual men. TODAY 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.
