Draft Becomes Real at 19
Editor's Note: This is the first in a two-part series on the Selective Service.

Some who do not attend college after graduating from high school face it as soon as they turn 19. Others continue on to college and put off facing it for four years. A few support it. Most do
But whatever his philosophy and problems, every American man has a need for 19 and 26 must face the stark reality that is the Selective
The draft, as it is popularly called, takes around two or more years to rumbleballs about an all-volunteer army. Congress does not seem to understand the changes soon. The present law, the one that set up the lottery system in 1998,
Congress seems quite willing to let the executive department handle the touchy matter. Secretary of Defense Melvin Linden
Lalirth has set 1972 as a target date for a "zero induction" call. Whether steps will be taken to carry out such a plan remains to be determined.
But it is certain that at least this year's graduating college seniors will have to face the challenges of low lottery numbers—will enlist for a three-year term of duty. Others will take their chances with the draft. A draftee serves as a co-host and must not have a choice of job placement.
She said there were approximately 500-1 A-men in Douglas County, but only 14 had been inducted by Nov. 23.
Many will fail the pre-induction physical. Edith H. Cordell secretary of Douglas County Local Hound No. 18, said last week that a large portion of the Douglas County registrants failed the physical.
"As fast as we call them induction, they enlist," she said. Enlistments do not count toward the board's intuition quota.
Like other boards across the state. Douglas County has called
every available man up to number 195, the induction ceiling, it has not filled its quotas.
"We're about 40 men behind," Mrs. Cordell said. "This lottery system just does not work."
She said as an example that the draft board has a quota of 10 for December but has no one available. Of the three that could be called, one was on cruises and another was on commitments until the end of the semester.
"The only conscientious objector classifications this board has ever approved are said." The reason must be something besides philosopher.
Some have tried to obtain a conscientious objector classification. Mrs. Cordell said that she was not present there were only three that had been examined, ten have not and seven were doing their own work.
But those men with numbers 196 or higher have an escape drill director, has canceled their induction by 195 as
Talent Excites Editor

The most exciting thing in journalism today is the number of people who are browder thinking, young people entering the field. Robert M. White II, KU's third guest en-in residence, said Tues.
White, whose scope of professional experience is matched by the number of journalism awards he has received as editor, publisher and Evening Ledger (M.O.) owner.
Although optimistic about the amount of young talent, White students are less inclined to misusing their education "by assuming that it is more important for them to learn from personal opinion in news stories than to present facts so that other students can learn."
"The newspaper is not a pipeline for a reporter's opinions." White said, "That is written in signed columns and editorials."
White said this was an exciting time to be in the news business because of the new technological shift and the increased interest in what was going on.
"The news media has never been more affluent and provided reporters better tools to work with," he said.
great potential for action exists.

White also said he was opposed to the setup of the national television networks.
White's exposure to the media has stretched outside his newspaper field. He owns a cable television station in Mexico. Mo. He referred to television as "a wagon bag industry in a jet world."
White said that television was not being used to its fullest potential and that it was doing a poor job in using words. Unaware of this, she came across cases, a stationary camera and a read radio script are used when

five-man the U.S. newspaper delegation to inspect the Russian press. One of the most interesting operations, the one called Operation, White said, was that the editors were always at the makeup room to make sure that the editors were well hydrated. He said that the editors of Pravda, usually a six-page paper, were amazed that some newspapers had over 100 pages.
Men that are not called for this year's draw would move into the lower priority group for 1971. They would be drafted in 1972, men in expanded priority status in 1971 the lottery, the first priority group, were not enough to fill the lowest priority group.

White also was present for the announcement of Franklin Roosevelt's death, VE Day, VJ Pearl Harbor, the bombing of Pearl Harbor.
White said it was difficult to discuss the ideas of freedom, and to understand Russia's reporting with the Russians, because they had to follow the rules.
In 1966, he was a member of a
Mrs. Cordell said men who wanted to be reclassified as I-A should notify their local boards immediately.
After previous positions with United Press International, the Chicago Herald Tribune. White returned to Mexico, Mo., to run the family owned ledger. There was a difference in the transition, he said.
"It's silly to wait until the 31st," she said, "because the boards will be so snow under them with changing over to a new lottery."
Only about 15 men in Douglas County can reclassification, the said, but every registrar should contact his bureau to see what his bureau is doing.
Undrafted men who are classified I.A.B Dem. officers, who are the highest called by their local boards, will be tested for a treeded priority group for next year. They will be drafted before next year's group of 19-year-olds.
"I heard a couple of boards in western Kansas that were only up to 158." Mrs. Cordell said.
The extended priority status tests until March 14, anyone who was drafted by the team not been drafted by March 31 would move into the second round.
The draft sequence for the 1971 draft is (1) volunteers, (2) extended priority group, (3) second priority group, (4) second priority group in 1952, (5) 36-39 year olds with extended liability, youngest first, and (6) 18%-19% year olds.
But if he would have been called during the first three months of 1971, but was unable to remain in extended priority.
Tarr has instructed all local boards not to induct anyone over 26 years of age if the registrant is unable to avoid induction until then.
