YAF SPEAKER FEELS
Draft equals slavery
If you're willing to accept Webster's definitions of servitude, bondage, and slavery, said Larry Glaser at last night's Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) meeting, "then conscription is indeed slavery."
Glaser, a third year student at the KU Medical Center and a board member of Graduate Fellows of the Freedom School in
Larkspur, Colo., talked on "the real implications of conscription as an institution."
Glaser criticized the press for its "middle of the road attitude" toward the draft, and said, "The dissenter is the key to the conscription situation today."
HE DISCUSSED the conservative right-wing approach to the draft which he characterized by
saying "they defend conscription on moral grounds of patriotism"
Turning to the left-wing liberal camp, Glaser quoted from the magazine Dissent: "The right to refuse the draft for a particular war is confused with the right to refuse all draft. The latter is simply impossible in a democratic society."
HOPE professor to be awarded soon
By Swaebou Conateh
The winner of the Hope award will be announced at the Senior Coffee set for 10:30 a.m. Wednesday in the Kansas Union, Bob Woody, Bartlesville, Okla., senior and class president, said.
The HOPE award—Honors for Outstanding Progressive Educators—consists of a $100 honorarium, which is interest from $2,500 given by the class of 1959. It is made every year to a professor who has shown willingness to help students, stimulate or challenge them toward thinking, and who has shown devotion to profession and contribution to the general cultural life of the university. Less important factors include publications and creative work.
Paul Piper, Parsons senior and co-chairman of the senior class
committee, said a certificate and a desk set given by this year's senior class will accompany the award.
THE SELECTION committee was appointed by senior class officers last spring. Towards the beginning of the semester, nomination forms were sent out to graduating seniors. Piper said 150-200 forms were received at the Alumni Office. Each nominee's name was listed and reasons for his selection were given by the student making the nomination.
Expressing his own view Glaser said, "There is no duty in being told to die for another's cause."
In the question-answer period that followed his speech Glaser was asked, "Are you an anarchist?"
He replied, "I've been called an anarchist — the terminology doesn't bother me."
Phi Delts have work project
Afterwards, Piper's committee set to work to prune down the number to 15. At that point, the competition became tougher as additional information on the activities and records of the 15 finalists was gathered from such relevant sources as the News Bureau.
Members of Phi Delta Theta will work Friday and Saturday to help prepare Martin Park for use this summer as their Service Day Project.
The newly developed park, located northwest of Lawrence, was selected for the project because the reopening of the Sunflower Ammunition Plant has caused a lack of city personnel.
Approximately 65 men will install cooking facilities, cut paths through the woods, seed grass, and clear fallen trees.
ENGLISH PRO RESULTS OUT NEXT WEEK
On the same days, 125 other Phi Delt chapters in the United States and Canada will be doing similar service projects.
Results of the English Proficiency Examination given March 3, will be announced late next week, said James E. Seaver, director of the Western Civilization Program.
The first HOPE award was won in 1959 by Clayton Krehbiel, professor of choral music and music education.
The first grading is complete. The second grading, delayed by Spring Break and Centennial Week, is nearly done, Seaver said.
