Recent draft law to curb enrollment
By S. Allen Winchester Kansan Staff Reporter
A sudden decrease in graduate student admissions at KU may occur in 1968 as a result of the Selective Service Act signed into law June 30.
The undergraduate law provides "for the deferment from training and service in the Armed Forces of persons satisfactorily pursuing a full-time course of instruction at a college, university, or similar institution of learning and who request such deferment."
After graduation, no additional deferment is granted "except for extreme hardship to dependents, or for graduate study, occupation, or employment necessary to the maintenance of the national health, safety or interest."
Deferment is lost when the person completes his degree, fails to pursue a full-time course of instruction or becomes 24 years old.
Presently, students planning for careers in the health sciences — dentistry or medicine—are noted exceptions.
Kenneth Ivers, assistant to the dean of men, said the State Selective Service Office in Topeka, plans to have detailed information about these exceptions available in April.
Ivers speculated that exceptions will include "college disciplines related to the physical and technical sciences and labor skills critical to the national interest."
He said industry has been successful in obtaining occupational deferments to fill manpower needs considered critical to the national interest.
First, remember not everybody eligible will be called and under the present situation, selection will be made from oldest to youngest registrants.
What should the graduating senior do?
"Local boards are autonomous and any possible deferment is between you and your board." Ivers said.
The new law will create a large pool of men available for the draft. Seniors could go ahead and attend graduate school or pursue their career, depending on the decision of their local board
LAWRENCE, KANSAS Wednesday. December 6,1967
There is a possibility that graduate students in math or science who spend more than half their time teaching, may be able to obtain occupational deferments. Ivers said.
For the most part, however, graduates should expect a 1-A classification.
Ivers emphasized this is not definite, but only speculative. He See Draft, page 10
Aide announces idea for 'satellite campus'
KU and St. Mary's College officials are discussing the possibility of housing some St. Mary's students near the KU campus as part of a public-private college venture, Provost Francis Heller said today. One proposal would establish a satellite housing area near the KU campus to permit St. Mary's students to attend classes at KU. St. Mary's College is located in Xavier, Kan., two miles south of Leavenworth.
Plans are under way to establish a satellite private campus on the periphery of one of the state's universities, an aide of Gov. Robert B. Docking told the Kansan Tuesday night.

BULLETIN
The aide, George Simpson, the Governor's educational affairs advisor, declined to say which of the state's universities was being considered for the project.
"At the request of the school involved, we are not making this information available at this time," Simpson said. "An announcement will be made at an appropriate time."
Asked whether KU was the university being considered, Simpson said, "Let me just say that KU is one of the state's universities."
Docking, speaking in Winfield, said, "A series of discussions are now taking place between a private institution and one of our state universities which may lead to a cooperative agreement to establish a satellite private campus
on the periphery of that university's campus.
"Understanding the technological advancements in transportation systems—and the possibility of such systems between college campuses—I urge Kansas educators to investigate the feasibility of such satellite educational systems," the governor added.

"Some students ask me to draw a line where they should stop," he said. "First, I have no right to draw such a line and second, I wouldn't know where to draw it."
Some criticize Braun for over-emphasizing sex, he said, but he believes there's "not a whole lot left" in marriage without sex.
"I'm not using sex as a comon," he said. "But I think nothing militates more against religion than sex."
But Braun didn't list rules about sex to be obeyed.
Branding ideas about free love "garbage." Braun said the personality is diluted through a number of "total person acts."
A person must examine his values and ask himself where love fits in, Braun said, to develop the proper attitude on sex.
"Playboy" isn't the "No. 1 authority," he added.
He bases his technique on the idea that "the most talked about subject on campus is sex."

Braun lays sex on line
Braun drew applause from the audience while explaining the progression of petting. He imitated an awkward boy putting his arm around a girl for the first time.
"I thought I was coming to a revival meeting," students often say after hearing Jon Braun speak on sex, love and marriage.
In 'Crusade for Christ' speech
Braun's message is aimed at youth. He presents a youthful image at 35, dressed in a sports coat and button down, blue striped shirt while speaking across the nation for Campus Crusade for Christ.
Grandmother might have walked out of the frank, college-slang talk given at 8 p.m. Monday at Hoch Auditorium. Braun used such terms as "smacky mouth" and "made out" in explaining that sex without love is empty.
Not everyone accepts Braun's
philosophy. He said he heard a heckler during his talk at Hoch.
At Michigan University, Braun asked a heckler to come on stage and explain her views. She was a hippie who lived with four boys and three girls, he said.
Older persons object to his approach, he said.
"Ministers don't often come to my meetings," he said. "I don't know why."
Some critics of his ideas say there would be no guilt if sex rules were removed, but Eraun disagrees.
"Society would blow apart if we forgot such rules as 'Thou shalt not commit adultery'," he said.
A person loves another when
Braun also said:
he accepts the faults as well as the attributes of the person.
Success in marriage is more difficult to attain today.
Intercourse is never purely physical; it's a total person act.
Forgiveness comes when a person admits he is too weak to "go it alone," without Christ.
Braun, who lives in Blue Jay, Calif., is married and has five children. A former high school teacher and athletic coach, he has lectured at campuses the past 10 years.
He will speak at Kansas State University tonight, beginning a three-day crusade. Braun jokingly said K-State needs three days' lecture.
He spoke one night at KU.
Open house plea to COSA Dec.12
By Beth Gaeddert Kansan Staff Reporter
A plea for a more liberal open-house policy for living groups will be meed Dec. 12 before the Council on Student Affairs, the Chancellor's advisory committee on non-academic affairs.
Representatives from the Association of University Residence Halls (AURH) and the All Student Council (ASC) social committee will ask the Council on Student Affairs (COSA) to drop requirement for registering openhouse dates with the ASC social committee.
Each year the ASC social committee sets up new rules regarding such things as the number of open houses dates living groups may have. No limit was set this year.
Hanky-panky in McCollum causes embarrassment for the residents
The McCollum Hall executive board has announced a crackdown on public display of affection (PDA) within the coed residence hall.
The problem, according to Emery Goad, Junction City senior and McCollum president, is necking has become a popular pastime as the residents became better acquainted. This, Goad said, is a source of embarrassment to other residents.
"We've had trouble this year with undue physical contact that's out of the ordinary," Goad said. "I'm afraid it's hindering the development of the coed system at KU."
In an effort to discourage PDA in the hall, the lobby lights are left on all night instead of being turned off at closing. In addition, hall personnel "supervise" problem areas such as "stairwells, the library and the stereo room."
Goad estimated 10 per cent of the hall population has been involved.
While none of the residents has violated any written rules, he said, hall personnel have had to suggest behavioral guidelines to some residents
Goad said a "semi-common scene in a certain area" of the hall is couples lying on the floor together.
"We're not out to legislate morality, but we do want to make all areas of the hall accessible to everyone at all times without embarrassment," Goad said.
Complaints received
He said he intended to write an open letter to all McColum residents urging them to refrain from expressing PDA in the hall. If this does not improve the situation, he said, the dean of men and dean of women would be consulted.
McCollum Hall, KU's largest residence hall with a capacity of almost 1,000 residents, became a coed hall in the fall of 1966. Before that time only men lived there. Under the coed system, women students live in the west wing while men occupy the east and south wings.
Goad said numerous complaints concerning PDA had been received from residents, counselors and parents. The subject has been discussed at several floor meetings this week.
Goad said there were rumors that several other residence nails would be converted to coed living next year. He expressed concern that McCollum's PDA problems may hinder this step.
ASC and AURH discussed extending open houses last spring but neither group was sure where the authority rested. After receiving a large number of requests for open houses this fall ASC felt it needed more University approval in granting them. Most living groups have had at least four open houses and several others have had at least seven or eight.
The proposal would allow informal open houses or "visitation" any day of the week. Informal open house days are other than all-campus special events such as Parents' Day or Homecoming.
Clif Conrad, Bismarck, N.D., junior and AURH president, stressed that a guest would visit a hall only upon the invitation of a resident and that each living group would participate only and as often as it wanted to.
"There's a definite lack of privacy in residence halls. There's no place you can go and talk privately to someone. This would make residence hall living more enjoyable." Conrad said.
McCollum Hall has had several Wednesday night open houses. Emery Goad, Junction City senior and McCollum's men's president, said surveys taken both by the hall officers and counselors proved residents overwhelmingly approved.
Good blamed the delay in action on ASC conservatism and said: "ASC has been very unwilling to permit open houses for living groups."
Some COSA members including Francis Heller, acting provost.
