The Kansas Anti-Draft Organization of Lawrence decreed a demonstration Saturday at Park, Park and Oak streets, to protest President Carter's proposal to congress. The proposal to Congress that draft
About 75 people gather in 20-degree weather to hear speeches on 'involuntary servitude' of the draft and the possibility of an "economic war" in the Middle East.
Joane Nagel, assistant professor of sociology at KU, said the United States wanted to protect the Persian Gulf for economic reasons.

"God preaches whether war is just or not, it is a sin to take part," he said. "I will back individuals if they do the draft."
"We didn't question the draft during the Korean War," he said. "It's good we are demo it now."
Seifering, a former campus minister at Emporia State University, said he had followed past draft issues.
Dennis Kaufman, a local Mennonite, said Mennonites followed a history of peace and non-violence.
'We are committed to counter-
resistance and this includes warfare," he said. "Some Memonties oppose war. And many will perform their public duty through service help to local organizations."
"SIGNS HELD by protesters included:
"Register today. "War tomorrow," "We won't go for Texaco" and "Keep America free, stop the draff."
Speaker Anne Moore of the Quaker Peace and Justice Coalition, said that tax dollars should not be spent on weapons.
But some people who attended the demonstration favored the draft.
Denise Casamento, Lawrence junior, who said she favored the draft, commented on a sign that read, "Draft today ... War tomorrow."
"The draft is not the cause or catalyst of war," she said. "It's the Russian troops in Afghanistan."
