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.

inducted.
Selective Service sources said it’s likely
that young’ men with lottery numbers above

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
