A Majority In Favor of Drafting 18-Year-Olds
Campus opinion favors the drafting of 18-year-olds, a recent University Daily Kansan poll indicates. The persons interviewed were asked whether they favored drafting 18-year-olds, and if not, they were asked what age group they would draft. Their answers follow:
Tony Vandergriff, business senior. "Yes, I favor drafting 18-year-olds. It is better for a man to serve before he starts to college because it interes less with his education. If full scale war does break out, we won't be sending green men into battle."
Edward Taylor, College sophomore: "A year or two in the army would develop 18-year-olds both mentally and physically."
Georgia Earlywine, College sophomore: "No. They should draft politicians and war-mongers."
Raymond Ackermann, College junior. "Yes, as long as they don't have to be sent overseas. They are too young for army combat."
Dorothy Hilbert, graduate student:
"No. They should draft married men
without children, rather than 18-
year-olds."
Kenneth Bickford, College junior: "Yes. It is better to take them now before they enter college, but they should not have to be sent into combat."
Wayne Attwood, College senior:
"Yes. At 18 they are old enough physically and mentally and one year's delay in induction will not prepare them any better for the army."
A. C. Cooke, College junior; "Yes. They should be drafted before starting school or any career so that when they get started in life they can continue uninterrupted."
Jim Floyd, business junior: "No. They ought to be given a chance to receive as much education as possible. They ought to go right down the line according to ages. Veterans of the last war should be taken back as instructors."
Bob Dunne, business junior: "Yes. If everyone has to have some military training let them get it early before they start their higher education. Then they can go through college uninterrupted."
Edward Boswell, College senior:
"No, I think men between the ages of 21 and 26 should be drafted first.
Men should be given time to mature

Two engineering students are taking Foods I. Three fine arts students and two business school students are enrolled in Home Decoration.

AWS House Elects Hesse As Secretary

before such tremendous responsibility as military service is thrust upon them. Veterans, however, should be deferred."
Cosley Hollings, College freshman (aged 18): "No, but personally I'm not worried."
Earl Burton, College senior: "No, 18-year-olds should be given a chance to mature first. They receive warped ideas in the services. I entered the last war at 18 and know that men of more mature minds can better meet the unhealthy influence of more hardened servicemen."
Max Moody, graduate student:
"Yes, they are more willing to accept discipline and make better soldiers at 18. It would also eliminate the present feeling of insecurity most 18-year-olds have."
Ronald Washington, fine arts sophomore: "Yes, it is imperative that we have sufficient manpower for military preparedness. This cannot
be accomplished by drafting veterans and older men."
Andrew Donnelly, graduate student: "Yes, because it is more convenient to draft them. Most of them have no chosen profession, and the few who have made a choice haven't yet expended the time and effort in becoming established in that work."
Lou Smith, College senior: "Yes. It interrupts their own personal life less. Also, they make better soldiers."

Campus Interviews on Cigarette Tests
Melancholy and dejected, this gloomy miss found little to titillate her in the recent deluge of quick- trick cigarette tests! She was not enthralled by the idea of judging cigarette mildness with just a fast puff or a single sniff. But, joy of joys! . . . happiness came to her when she discovered one test that left no doubt in her mind.
It was the sensible test!...the 30-Day Camel Mildness Test, which simply asks you to try Camels as a steady smoke on a pack after pack, day after day basis. No snap judgments needed. After you've enjoyed Camels - and only Camels - for 30 days in your "T-Zone" (T for Throat, T for Taste) we believe you'll know why...
More People Smoke Camels than any other cigarette!
