Marriage Will Only Postpone the Draft
By Tom Coffman
What will be the effect of President Kennedy's recent proclamation on the draft and young married men? What is the effect of extended liability in student deferment?
"YOUNG MEN who marry do not escape the draft." Hitt explained. Anyone in 1A classification is eligible for the draft. The President's recent proclamation served to re-shuffle the drafting sequence, making all unmarried men in 1A between the ages of 19 and 26 eligible before the married men. Hitt said.
James K. Hitt discussed these questions Saturday to clarify hazy information surrounding Selective Service regulations. Hitt, in addition to being registrar and director of admissions, is military information officer for KU students and liaison between the National Registrar's Association and the federal Selective Service board.
The proclamation did not technically exempt or defer married men from the draft, Hitt said.
"A man who runs out and gets married in hopes of escaping the draft only delays his military service, probably."
"You might say there are better reasons for getting married," Hitt quipped. The Registrar did not believe that many men will marry for that reason.
THE MAIN effect of the proclamation, Hitt believes, will be to drive the draft age of unmarried men in 1A down to about 19 years. The current draft age has been about 21 or 22.
Hitt speculated President Kennedy's reasons for the proclamation were both political and economic.
"It should be, a vote-getter," Hitt said. "Probably more important are the economic considerations—if a man is married you have to pay dependents."
The earlier a man is trained, the better soldier he makes, Hitt said. "He's enthusiastic at age 18. They make real fighters."
Males who are deferred—in any classification other than 1A—are eligible for the draft until they are 35. Regular 1A liability runs up to age 26.
"THERE IS A fancied damage or danger in having extended liability conferred," Hitt emphasized. "This liability is purely theoretical."
All college men are eligible for deferment. They do not have to be in any particular area of study or meet any scholastic standards as long as they stay in school.
However, college men must have their local draft boards informed of their enrollment by the registrar of their college or university if they wish to be deferred.
AT KU THIS IS accomplished by submitting an IBM card at enrollment with the draft registrant's Selective Service number on it. Then the registrar's office sends out a form—called an SS 109—to the local bord and a deferment, usually to II-S classification, is conferred.
About 4,000 of KU's 5,500 men undergraduates students requested Hitt's office to send out SS 109 forms this past year.
This school year is the first in which the scholastic average was not considered as a factor in deferment. Before, the male student had to be in the top one-half of his class to be taken out of the 1A category.
"THE THINKING behind this is simple," Hitt said. "We can't outnumber the Chinese or the Russians. All we can do is out-fox them through better education."
The national draft system does not call for universal service, Hitti said. "Rather it is exactly what the name implies—selective."
Senior Day Activities Include Game, Party, Pubs

Kansan Managing Editor Saturday, was, Senior, Dav.
Saturday was Senior Day. The queen was beautiful. So were the attendants.
THE SENIOR cheerleaders were tacky.
Some of the seniors overdid their celebration and had to be assisted from the stadium by helpful campus policemen.
The Jayhawkers defeated Oklahoma State 41-7.
About 1,200 seniors and 350 guests consumed 55 kegs of the student's favorite beverage at the party at the Big Barn.
Yes, the class of 1964 celebrated their day. Aside from various preparties at various pubs, the Senior Day festivities started at Memorial Stadium about 1:15 when Jerry Pullins, Council Grove senior and president of the Senior class, presented the senior gift, a $1,000 loudspeaker system, to James Surface, vicechancellor of the University.
KAY CASH, Fairview Park, Ohio,
senior, was crowned queen of the
class of 1964. Attendants were Lesley
Hagood, and Mary Lynn Cooper,
both Prairie Village seniors. Miss
Cash represented Pi Beta Phi social
sorority; Miss Hagood, Gamma Phi
Beta and Miss Cooper, Kappa Alpha
Theta.
Now that the preliminaries were completed, the seniors settled down for the business at hand, the football game. Surprisingly, some of the seniors actually watched part of the football game. Twice the action on the football field was so exciting that the seniors chose to watch the game rather than listen to the senior cheerleaders.
The senior cheerleaders, John
Bumgarner, Tulsa, Okla: Tom Tatlock, Wichita; John Middleton, Kansas City, Mo., and Phil Harrison. Colby, were not as attractive as some of the feminine cheerleaders, nor for that matter as neatly dressed, but with the help of the loudspeaker system given by the senior class, they certainly were loud.
ONE GROUP of seniors became so carried away with the activity that they accompanied the 70 high school bands in playing "The Battle Hymn of the Republic." Of course the accompaniment was with basketball whistles, but the spirit was there. It was stirring. A campus policeman made a special trip to the senior music section to congratulate the musicians.
For the occasion, the seniors made up some "original" cheers. These cheers ranged from baby talk to the spelling of the senior class mascot. the bird, to the advice that Jack Mitchell be given to the O-State team.
The game was exciting for those who watched it. Senior fullback Ken Coleman and Armand Baughman plunged through the O-State line; senior quarterback Sid Michele passed beautifully and Lloyd Buzzi side-steped artistically behind a predominantly senior line. Of course, underclassmeen like Gale Sayers, Ron Oelschlager, Mike Johnson, Steve Renko, Gary Duff, Bill Gerhards, and Dave Crandall helped.
The game was over about 4 p.m.
By 5 p.m. the senior class party had

started at the Big Barn.
Intellectuals, playboys, campus politicians, big men on campus, little men on campus, and their feminine counterparts gathered 1500 strong to talk over their three years at the University.
SOME PEOPLE went inside the barn to dance to the music of "The Flippers." Most, however, preferred to avoid the heat and smoke of the barn. They stayed outside to chat, drink, and enjoy the lovely autumn evening.
Most of the seniors were attired in the official class uniform, class of '64 sweatshirts, blue jeans and the senior class button, which was worn on various parts of the anatomy.
As the evening wore on everyone seemed to be enjoying himself. One politician was explaining how he planned to ruin those who had crossed him when he got out of the University. One of the senior cheerleaders was explaining to a rather large, rather unhappy football player that the vell. "Give 'em Hell, Jack Mitchell, Give 'em Hell; Give 'em Hell, Jack Mitchell, Give 'em Hell; What the Hell, Give 'em Jack Mitchell," was really all in fun and if the seniors didn't like the coach so much they wouldn't have chided him. The football player said he understood and he smiled. The cheerleader heaved a sigh of relief.
THE PARTY had about run its course by 11 p.m. Much to the surprise of skeptical underclassmen and faculty, the barn still looked much the same as before the party.
the seniors left the party, some hand-in-hand, some arm-in-arm and some elbow-in-arm.
It had been a fine exhibition of the spirit of the class of 1644.
SENIOR QUEEN—Kay Cash, Fairview Park, Ohio, senior, reigned over Senior Day activities. She was crowned at pregame ceremonies Saturday.
