Wisdom Discusses Draft
From Ethical Viewpoint
By ELLEN BRADLEY
The decision which must be
made by each individual con
cerning the draft is an ethical
one, William Wisdom, instructor
of philosophy, said at-a meeting
of <SENSE, Students for Peace,
Wednesday night.
Wisdom explained that a situ
ation is ethical when there are
alternative courses of action from
which to' choose and when those
making the decisions aie aware
of the alternatives as well as able
_to predict, .with some Accuracy
* the consequences of each' decision.
Ethics afff - particularly con
cerned with situations involving
human welfare. Human life, needs
and capacities are at stake in
ethical situations, he said.
THE SITUATION concerning
-the draft is' ethical because it
concerns the welfare of each in
dividual and group and also mah
kind in general.
“There is no sharp line between
the world's present state, the state
ol our nation and each individ
ual's conduct. With respect to
•military service,everyone's liberty
• is at slake in many way;." he
said.
Concerning the draft, he said
that most people see only three
alternatives when they first view
the situation. j
These .are the choice of enlisi-

application of spikes and pepper.
Before continuing, I’ll answer
the paramount objection to such
a plan: the lack of administrative
money and personnel. The answer
is simple. The Undergraduate
Student GSVcrnment will create
a Student Morality- Undergrad
uate Training Corps. The student
leader most 1 qualified to lead, this
organization js Morris B. Baker,
if he can be persuaded to relin
quish his gavel for a red-sashed
white uniform.
• To continue—Public display's
of affection shall be limited by
a rule prohibiting males and fe
males to approach within three
feet of each other. SMUT Coi ps

I ing or being drafted, the choice of
'branch of service and the : choice
of specializing within each branch
of service, he said. •;
"THESE, however, are not
ethical alternatives, because with
respect to human welfare, the
consequences : are the same. In
-the long run, the alternative
course of action .will make very
little difference.” he said. ■
He said, however, that- . there
are other alternatives open.'
There are .three different kinds
of service which will satisfy the
military requirement. These are
combatant military training and
service, non-combatant jservice,
and civilian Work, for which the
"conscientous objectors" who ob
ject to the military on religious
grounds may; qualify, he said.
THERE ARE also illegal al
ternatives. The “absolutists" fol
low an illegal alternative by re
fusing to register for draft or to
have anything to do y.ith it,
Wisdom said. j
These alternatives are (he ones
which quati(y the draft situation
as an ethical situation, he said.
“Until everyone can see that
the illegal Alternatives are open
opportunities while not neces
sarily the best ones, they-are not
being fair tp themselves;hor can
they make an ethical decision, he
said. | . 'f
