    Sudborough's Plan
Explained by May
By SANDY BAZONIS
Collegian Copy Editor
Klaus W. May, chairman of
the Graduate Student
Association Rules Committee,
last night clarified the state
ment made by GSA President
Hal Sudborough concerning the
“year of the black” 1 n
“Faucet.” a graduate student
magazine.
Sudborough said the officers
of GSA will make 1969-70 the
“year of the black student.”
He said “GSA will postpone
other issues of importance to
graduate students for the >car
and concentrate on the
resolution of black student pro
blems at the University.”
According to May. some stu
dents thought the president of
GSA was a “dictator and that
there are alot of radical ele
ments in GSA.”
“What Sudborough was say
ing was the GSA should focus
on one major area and actually
accomplish something in that
area rather than locus on
many areas and accomplish
nothing.” May explained.
May said that Sudborough’s
statement was in response to
the commitment the
University community made at
Lottery Plan
May Select
Next Draftees
WASHINGTON (AP)
Senate Republicans said
yesterday that • the next
American youths drafted pro
bably will be selected through
a lottery system which didn't
stand a chance until President
Nixon “put the heat”-on Con
gress.
“As a result of that kind of
leadership we’U probably get a
draft bill this year.” said Sen.
Hugh Scott (K-Pa..) the
minority leader. “It was dead
until the President put the heat
on.”
Nixon’s draft plan, to induct
19-year-olds on the basis of a
lottery based on their birth
dates, has the unanimous ap
proval of the House Armed
Services Committee.
It is likely to pass the
House before the week is over.
Sen. John C. Stennis, (D-
Miss.). chairman of the Senate
Armed Services Committee,
has indicated his panel will
hold hearings on the measure
if it clears the House.
That could open the way for
the Senate action which would
send it to the White House,
where Nixon repeatedly has
urged its swift enactment.
Sen. Mike Mansfield. (D-
Mont.). the majority leader,
said he thinks the prospects
are good for Senate action
before the end of the current
congressional session.
Sen. Karl E. Mundt. (R-j
S.D.). said that likelihood plus’
the cancellation of November \
and December draft calls,
could mean the end of the (
present selection system. ■

the Undergraduate Student
Government encampment. En
campment members adopted
the following proposals:
—establishing a legitimate
model for black admissions
and the supportive services
needed by black students while
attending the University and
pursuing a degree:
—enlarging the black facul
ty;
—more black Administrators
with power;
—the establishment of an off
campus black cultural center,
and
—the constructive use of
conlhct.
“This approach and focus by
Sudborough and Bob Rickards,
GSA vice president, as they
have repeatedly slated, is sub
ject to debate and discussion
by the council.” May said. “It
is obvious that they welcome
frank and open debate. The
council will decide and deter
mine the course of action with
regard to this year’s pro
gram.” May added that Sud
borough and Rickards are
trying to “provide direction for
GSA.”
The officers of GSA are not
the only ones who have made
the commitment to the “year
of the black student.” May
said. “The faculty and Ad
ministration have made
similar gestures and how they
will act is not for GSA to
decide,” he added.
Sudborough will present his
proposals on the black
situation at the University at
the first GSA meeting next
Monday night, according to
May. '
“By focusing on the black
students, GSA will be of
valuable service to the
Un i vorsity. Administration,
blacks and graduate students.”
May said. “If we (GSA) refuse
to try to be constructive in this
area we cannot demand that
others make the attempt for
us. and neither have we the
right to criticize those who do
make the attempt.”
May is also a member of the
Advisory Committee to the
Coordinator of University Pro
grams for the Disadvantaged.
The committee, established
Winter Term, has done “a fair
ly decent job,” according to
May. It has sent a proposal to,
the Committee on University l
Programs for the Disadvantag-i
ed, calling for a centralized of- j
fice for the disadvantaged. |
The advisory committee is
limited by University priorities
and the fact that it is an ad
visory committee. May said.

Manderino, dean of the DuQuesne Law School,
