of the increasing Vietnam war.

the current issue of U. S. News &

the Selective Service is currently
reviewing the status of 1-Y regis

emergency. The dralt director says
the prospective servicemen obtained
from this review- "will not be suf

Willi another term upon us, it's time again to ,o
with the herd, weaving among the corridors of Rec
Hall and somehow emerging with all your cards
turned in, all your eight o'elocks shifted to fourth
period, and ail your sanity intact.
As the herd crows, the quarterly confusion at
registration mounts, especially when the Hour plan
is changed every term.
This term, there are over ‘.10,1)00 of us. There are
about 700 hundred new students at University Park
and there are some 100 new students at the Common
wealth Campuses. The new .students on this campus
include 105 freshmen, 155 advance standing transfer
students, 250 who have been readmitted, and 160
transfer students from the Commonwealth Campuses.
On the sub-campuses, 160 new students are fresh
men. the remaining 50 students have been readmitted.
The frantic registration period for the winter
term will continue today and until noon tomorrow.
Classes begin at 0 a.m. Monday.

He adds he does not believe the

"You just can't make an examina

Gen. Hershey indicated that
when the Selective Service begins
looking to colleges for manpower,
it will first look for students "in the

Herslicy reemphasized (hat part
time students are in a more vulner
able position on the cirait scale. “The
only way a part-time student has a
chance now is to convince his local
board that lie should be delerred.
The local board has the power," the
General is quoted.
He said the differences between
part-time and full-time students arc
poorly defined and dif for from col
lege lo college. He says some col
leges arc tolerating 12 credit hours
as the minimum. (At the University,
a part-time student is one who
carries less than eight credits per

The Selective Service chief added
that there are no plans lo change
the status of graduate students, and
that a local board lias the responsi

magazine quotes Hershey, "the local
boards are going to have more ten

or whether he’s ‘just going to

Olmsted
Campus
Underway
The UnnciMlv plans to open an olt'ioe at ulnvtrd Ar
Force Base early Hits year in a move toward 1 lie e-tabhsh
ment of another Commonwealth Campus thcic.
iho base, situated near Ilainsburg, is scheduled to he
phased out by 101)9 under orders of the Department of De
fense as one of the installations to be closed in an economy
measure,
President Eric A. Walker wrote to Gov. William W.
Scranton early in December say mg ‘‘The way now seems
clear to open what promises to be a major new campus in
Olmsted All 1 force Base facilities next September.'’
The University Board of Trustees has instructed Walker
to cooperate tully with federal, stale and Harrisburg area
officials in the development of an Olmsted campus to pro
vide associate degree, upper loud undergraduate uoik and
graduate programs.
in accordance wall Scranton's requests the University
will establish a liaison with the Office of Economic Adjust
ment. Department of Defense, to seek instructions leading to
transfer of a portion of the North complex at Olmsted to
serve as the new campus.
Walker has designated Kenneth L. liolderman, director
of Commonwealth Campuses, as Ins deputy in the detailed
planning for the new campus. When complete, the plans will
be submitted to the State Board of Education for approval.
“.The development of a major campus at Harrisburg,
with its tremendous possibility for service, is an outstanding
challenge to the University,'’ Walker said, “f am convinced,"
he continued, "That the Harrisburg area is going to become
one of the most desirable sections in the entire East with the
development of a single massive population belt along the
East Coast.
“Harrisburg will be close enough for its residents to
share in this development. Yet. Iving on the fringe of the
vast population belt, it will become a highly desirable rcsi
deniiaj, cultural and educational center. The Olmsted Cam
pus, together with the developing Milton S. Hershey Medical
Center of the University, will give the University an oppor
tunity to share in the development of the Harrisburg area
m a significant way.” Walker concluded.
Walker and other University officials inspected the
Olmsted facilities Tuesday, and alter the tour, Walker com
mented that he thought the facilities available at the air
base compared favorably with those at University Park and
other Commonwealth Campuses.
The visit was made to assit in planning an educational
program for the proposed campus. The State Council on
Higher Education has asked ihe University to file complete
plans on how it proposes to utilize the Olmsted base.
ff and when the University takes over the former air
base, there are three usable buildings in the 216-acre tract
offered for the new Commonwealth Campus, These include
the Olmsted mam administration building and two dormi

far as a student’s minor curriculum
is concerned He said that, if stu
dents were being inducted, "liberal
arts people" would probably be called
belore scientists, engineers or stu
dents in other technical fields.
Gen. Hershey's overall advice
for students is: "Study. If you want
to slay a studen*. be one."
Protest Status
The magazine also questioned
Gen. Hershey on the status ot people,
particularly students, who partici
pate in demonstrations against U.S.
policy in Vietnam,
He says the Selective Service
is only concerned with incidents
where the Selective Service Jaw is
violated. He added that he believes
the best way to deal with "dralt
delinquents,” is to induct them,
rather then have them indicted for
violating the law.
He says he ‘‘regretted" the
passage of the law last summer
making it a federal offense to de
stroy a draft card. He says this was
covered in the original Selective
Service Act, which requires a reg-

The General states, "I wish these
people that want to obstruct things
will just go somewhere else and

you can tolerate these attacks on a
setup as sensitive as tile Selective
Service System.”
11l summation, the magazine
quotes Gen. Hershey:
"I wish someone would put a
howl about a hat a horrible thing is
being perpetrated on our overanxious
youth seeking to get into the service
and being distracted from it, by
deferment.
"I don'l think anybody's going
lo do that. For one think I've got
no illusions about service. The guy
who says, ‘You just can’t hold me
back from going in,' is generally a
damned liar. Because there arc other
things that arc pushing him to the
place where it’s easier to go than
it is to stay home.”
