Time To (Editor's Note: Mat : k 0. Hatfield, Republican Senator from Oregon, has provided the Daily Collegian with his pr t ofessional opinion of the current draft situation.) The time has come to end the military draft. That bald ' declaration will startle many. But when all the facts are in, and all the current and pro jected needs for military manpower have been taken into account, it_is difficult to avoid the conclusion that America does not need the draft, America can afford not to 'have the draft, and America is overdue in bringinglo l an end this drastic invasion of the lives and liberties! of her young men. Congress; is now beginning to debate President Johnson's legislation to extend the draft another four years. In years past Congresional examination' of this issue was perfunctory. This year things are dif ferent. Thanks no - doubt to the heightened awareness of America's' young people. whose lives the draft so seriously affects, .many in Congress are now for the first time rethinking the premises upon which the draft is supposedly based. An increasing number of them are finding it sadly out of step with. both our Nation's traditions and with •its military manpower needs. We must never allow ourselves to forget that however pressing the -circumstances, the draft is involuntary servitude. It ,is legitimate and constitu tional when Congress, exercising its power to raise and support, armies, has no reasonable alternative. But conscription must always be the last desperate resort for meeting military-manpower needs, not the cheap and easy expedient. The only real argument for having an involun tary draft is that the ,Nation could not reasonably afford 'to raise and retain the needed military man power without• it. I maintain that the Nation can afford to eliminate the draft. In doing so we will restore lost liberties.

We can upgrade our armed forces and increase our national security. And we can do it at a price this rich and powerful, Nation can easily afford. There is no numerical shortage of manpower for filling military ranks. Each year nearly four times as many men as the military needs enter the draft age pool. With more realistic service qualifications and sharply increased wages and fringe benefits, and with an enhanced status for military careers, we can attract the 500,000 men we need each year, even 'at Vietnam buildup level. All we have to do is to make up our minds that we are going to stop exchanging precious liberties for false economy false because, when the total economic costs of the draft system are taken into t account, including civilian wages foregone by draftees, we may well be saving nothing : at all. And this c9lculation fails to take into account the quali tative value of skilled career specialists serving in crucial military positions now filled by reluctant draftees. Fiom the standpoint of individual liberty, equity to all, the enhancement of national security, and the total economic costs, the draft fares badly in com parison with an all-volunteer armed forces system. How do we .get from 'the present draft to the volunteer army? First, we must unequivocally reaffirm our com mitment to the goal of voluntary armed forces. The draft should be extended for one or at the most two years.' During that time the Defense Department should embark on a program designed to make the draft increasingly unnecessary. A special joint com mittee of Congress independent of the Defense Department and the Selective Service System should be set up to make recommendations for a phasing out of the draft, and to maintain , a continual review of the Defense Department's progress toward that goal. And military pay and frinige , benefits should be raised substantially, starting now. It is time we made the firm decision to put an end to inequity, put an end to uncertainty, put an end to'inefficiency, and regain for our y'oung people the liberties the draft has taken from them. i l f ,133 7 4r . 1 a Nop r clatsi_ London Foge • The Lady Poole Th , same classic split-shoulder single-breasted fly- ro4 styling you admire in his coat . now youks in a variety of hues ... in water-repellent waSliable Calibre® Cloth, (65% Dacron® poly estdi, 3 1 5% cotton) and other London Fog® ex cllvest . . .

Side to Conflict TO THE EDITOR: Paul Levine and Brian Healey in their sports column the past few days ,have presented a very One-sided and prejudiced discussion on the. NCAA-AAU struggle. The NCAA-AAU battle for jurisdiction of various meets rand the athletes involved is a complex one. This is obvious from the fact that several governmental boards have failed to reach a: suitable compromise between these two bodies. The NCAA (also the AAU) is neither all right or all wrong and the articles presented in the Collegian are very Misleading. They lead one to believe that the AAU are the bad guys and this is not true. The articles mention the AALT. and their money grab bing. What of the NCAA and their football? I participate in two varsity sports at Penn State and the football gate receipts pay my tuition, pay for the uniforms I wear, and pay for the equipment I use. I am very grateful for this and think it is a good and necesary thing but lets not condemn the AAU for their desire to make money. Another point dealt with by writers Levine and Healy is the lack of facilities that the AAU has. It is true that the NCAA employs most of the coaches and owns most Of the sports facilities, but these are for athletes enrolled in college. An' athlete 'is elligible for three years of varsity Competition under NCAA rules. An athlete's productive life may last 10 years or more. What is one to do after he .[ is out of school? He needs independent organizations like the AAU to sponsor meets and clubs so that he may com pete. Dean McCoy is quoted as saying "The NCAA has never taken specific action against an athlete, except when the question of professionalism arises." What of the NCAA's 1.6 rule. An athlete, regardless of curriculum or school must maintain certain, academic standards. Ineligibility due to academics is a heart breaking and, in some cases, unfair situation for an athlete. The point is that the NCAA does have many rules and regulations which hurt the individual athlete and not the school.- Mr. Levine has mentioned in one article "If the only way to protect the best interests of American athletes is legislative control, then it mist be done." As an amateur athlete I consider goVernment control of my activities un thinkable. The policies involved -in the NCAA and the AAU is bad enough already without having the federal government involved.; I cannot hope to ,offer a suitable solution to the con flict but I would like to let people know that there is another side to the AAU-NCAA conflict than the one pre sented by writers Levine and Healy and I urge my fellow Collegian readers to realize this before forming an opinion. Jock Brown, '67 New Heads for Leary TO THE EDITOR: Although.not being particularly satisfied with ,modern materialistic society, I strongly object to the headline on your article on Sunday's. debate between Doctors Leary and Louria. The content is not too bright, but I am mainly concerned with the title, which was quite .twisted around and showed up the least important side of the debate. May I suggest "a posteriori" some other titles: Instead of Leary, Louria Agree / LSD Can Be Valuable, I should hive liked something at least- as impersonal as the previous, but objective like: Leary, Louria Disagree / Can LSD Be Valuable? Or a stronger statement centered around the real problem, like: Leary, Louria, Fierce Struggle / Psychosis or Salvation? Definitely, I should have preferred a title with an appeal to the estimated 80 per cent of the students who are not drug candidates, and a more courageous attitude in facing the outspoken LSD supporter. Something like: Louria Defeated Leary / LSD Frightening Risk But of course that is my personal bias (and the pre cise one of some others I talked with). The balanced pro gram in this case made the evening more interesting since they were quite complementary.

What kind of political life is plausible in Vietnam? What happens in a "happening"? • For the undergraduate who is unwilling to settle for easy answers, who seeks relevance in his studies—there is now a place. • There is a small college within a noted university in New York City. It has no "credit system" for. measuring knowledge; no large lecture halls for one-way dialogues; no teaching assistants where- - the professOr should be. e What it does have is a new program of study conceived for students who can best realize their intellectual poten tial by learning how to inquire,: by seeking meaningful relationships between disciplines, by recognizing alterna tive modes of analysis and explanation. It 11,:t.s a faculty that is discussion-oriented, concerned with teaching :- and learning only through active participOon of the student. It has a philosophy which views preparation for graduate school as just one of several possible goals of a liberal arts education. ' • THE NEW SCHOOL" COLLEGE offers a two-year course of study (the third and fourth years of undergraduate work) leading to the Bachelor of Arts degree in the Humanities or the Social Sciences. It provides opportunities for spe cialized study and research through a tutorial program conducted within a broad .liberal arts framework. It grants degrees only on the basis of comprehensive exam inations administered after completion of th; course of study. It is open' only to students who have completed at least two years of college work at other", accredited institutions.
