This year’s first draft to call 15,000 men • WASHINGTON (AP) Issuing the first' oraft call in five months, Secretary of Defense Melvin R-. Laird announced, yesterday that 15,000 men will be drafted into the Army during April, May and June. The call was the first since October when the Pentagon closed out 1971 with a 10,000- man quota spread over the final three months of'the year. No draft calls were issued during the first quarter of 1972 as Pentagon officials waited to determine whether more than $3 billion in new military pay increases generated enough volunteers to fill its manpower needs. Another factor was a congressional order to trim 70,000 men from the Army by June 30. The administration is trying to achieve, an all-volunteer force by mid-1973. The Army Exceeded slightly its 15,000-man -enlistment goal for January but fell short by more than - 3,000 in February. “We’re making progress,” Laird told the winter meeting of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. He said the draft was 300,00<rin 1969, the year he took office; 200,000 in 1970, 98,000 last year, ‘ ‘and this year we will reduce those calls to-50,000 or less.” This will enable the Nixon administration to fill its military needs, in an election year with the smallest draft since before the Korean War. The last time draft calls fell New sex education program F.D. tapes successful Over 1500 students .have tuned in on the new sex education tapes introduced in January in the Listening- Learning Centers. . The tapes, one on venereal disease and the other on vaginitis, were provided _by the University so students would have an anonymous and private means of getting personal information. According to Helen Baer, coordinator of education programs in the Office of Student Activities and author of the tapes, this new means of sex education is the first time a preventive educational effort of this scope has been started in Pennsylvania.

Selective Service sources said it’s likely that young’ men with lottery numbers above 60 wiU be safe from the draft this year; 1 In his speech, Laird defended his new budget with its $6-biUion increase in new spending. He said the two-year lead the U.S. holds in intercontinental ballistic missile technology ‘’could be rapidly closedif we do not maintain a strong research-and development program.” The Soviet Union, the Secretary said, is “deploying at the .present time multiple re entry vehicles(MßV) warheads” on some of its ICBMs. This has been indicated earlier by Defense-officials who now, elaborating on Laird’s statement, estimate the Russians have equipped about 100 of their big SS9 and SSII ICBMs with' triple warheads. Laird said the Russian MRVs are not as advanced as the warheads already deployed - by the United States which can be directed to widely separated targets. The Defense chief said he istroubled by the difficulty military recruiters are having bn some high-school and coUege campuses. “You either hav.e to have Selective Service ,/as your manpower sourc'd or you have to have a volunteer program. To protest against both means to disarm America, and we can’t have this.” he said. In an interview with The Daily Collegian, Mrs. Baer said that judging by the number of listeners and by the minimal advertisement, student response has been favorable. “However, we can’t be sure of the success of the tapes because, since they are private, we don’t know who is listening. I suspect that more -of the students’ needs could be met,” Mrs. Baer said. Concerning future im stallment of tapes, she said, “Nothing has been planned yet. If people who have listened to the two tapes either write me a note or call me with their comments, maybe we "could get some ideas and start other tapes.” -The venereal .disease, and vaginitis tapes' discuss the incidence of the problem, symptoms, possible cures, methods for prevention and suggests places to go for treatment and more in formation. . Vaginitis is defined as “any inflammation of the-vagina which can result from irritation, infection or some process which disturbs the normal physiology.” Concerning venereal disease, Mrs. Baer said, “VD strikes one person- in the P.S.O.C.
