Dean's office issues statement
Lottery questions answered
The Dean of Men's office has released a statement that "attempts to answer some of the most frequently asked questions" about the recent draft lottery.
The questions center on (1) the length and method of determining the period of vulnerability to induction, (2) the advantage and disadvantages of being exposed for induction during 1970 and (3) how local boards fill their monthly quotas, said Kenneth Ivers, assistant to the Dean of Men.
First, "the new regulations require a man who loses his deferment be vulnerable for the remainder of the calendar year—not for a 12-month period following his reclassification," Ivers said.
"Therefore, a student who graduates in June is theoretically available for induction from June to December 31. If, during the time he is deferred, his board has passed his number, he will no doubt be called to fill future quotas, because the local board must draw monthly from the registrants available on the basis of highest priority first."
"But if his number has not yet
Student Senate tables 5 motions, elects one senator
The Student Senate Tuesday night tabled or postponed five motions, voted two appropriations and elected one senator at their meeting in the Jayhawk Room of the Kansas Union.
The tabled motions concerned non-academic conduct and discipline of students, a study of hazardous pedestrian areas along Sunnyside Drive, student participation in Kansas Legislature activities, graduate dissertation and theses fellowships, and reduction of KU parking fines to $4 maximum.
The Senate also voted $400 for the Community Service Clearing House and $300 bonuses for the business manager and editor of last year's Jayhawker yearbook.

been reached in June, and the local board can fill its quotas for the entire year without calling his number, he will be placed in a lower and safer' priority. The lower priority category will not normally be vulnerable except in the unlikely circumstance that the first priority group is completely exhausted."
Second, many students ask what the consequences are of being exposed to the draft during 1970, Ivers explained.
"It is not the student's prerogative to ask that he be classified I-A, because his board must by law place a registrant in the lowest classification for which he qualifies," Ivers said.
"Also, exposure during the upcoming spring semester, when the vast majority of students are deferred, would actually increase the probability of being inducted.
"For example, a mythical board has a quota of five men for February. It finds that the only men in the I-A pool have numbers 5, 28, 75, 125, 200, 225, 250 and 300. Thus, No.'s 5, 28, 75, 125 and 200 would be called first. If the makeup of the I-A pool did not change when the March quota was received, No.'s 225, 250 and 300 would be the next groups called and in that order.

"June graduation increases the number of men in the I-A pool and conceivably our mythical board may be able to fill monthly quotas for the rest of the year by calling only men with numbers as large as 150. This is because the I-A pool is always changing."

Third, "A technical point which should be considered is the possibility of being classified delinquent. The board may classify him delinquent if he fails to comply with a board request, whatever that might be," Ivers noted.
"If he is classified delinquent, he would enter the top priority—delinquents—which follows the oldest first method, not the lottery. He would thus lose any benefit he might have gained from the lottery."
