Ellsworth claims red tape snarling draft of 1-A men
"A red tape and a bureaucratic pipeline" have been the reasons why more than 280,000 men with 1-A classification have not been drafted.
The statement was made by Rep. Robert F. Ellsworth (R-Kan.) while speaking to a meeting of Collegiate Young Republicans last night.
Unexpectedly detained in Washington, Ellsworth used the Tele-Lecture system, a transcontinental telephone hook-up, to transmit his speech from several hundred miles from where the
SPEAKING FROM the Sheridan Park Hotel, he told the gathering that more than 280,000 men with 1-A classification have not been drafted because of "red tape and a bureaucratic pipeline."
WEATHER
Colder temperatures, westerly winds, and partly cloudy skies are forecast for Friday by the U.S. Weather Bureau.
He said that because of the red tape between the selective service and the Defense Department, between the local draft board and the draft induction center, far too many men are not available for the service.
HE CHALLENGED the necessity of re-examining present deferments because of the existence of a 445,000-man pool that will meet present quotas until June.
Improvements in the Selective Service System would help the President with our struggle in South Viet Nam, he said.
Students oppose KU 'interference' in Lima
By Norma C. Romano
A proposed change in the educational curriculum of a Peruvian university has involved KU in an international controversy.
THE PROGRAM is the result of an American tour of universities last year by several faculty members of San Marcos, which precipitated in a Ford Foundation grant to KU as the agency of consultation. George Waggoner, dean of the school of Liberal Arts and Sciences, and Thomas Gale, associate dean, were appointed consultants.
The University of San Marcos in Lima, Peru, is considering implementing a General Studies Program, a rough equivalent of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
Students at the Peruvian university have reacted
by labeling the program "a defamation of national culture and an imposition of American imperialism." Joseph Hajda, director of International Affairs at K-State University, said. He recently returned from a South American tour.
THE OFFICIAL REPORT issued by KU and the visiting professors last year called for a plan "of penetration into the complexity of one of the basic problems in Latin America: higher education; a place of teaching and research in basic disciplines of humanities and social sciences in the education of professional men."
One of the inherent—and unwelcome—features of the program is required attendance. Latin American universities do not require attendance.
The General Studies program is a profound modification of the educational structure of San Marcos, Alvaro Gonzalez, Peruvian graduate student at KU, explained.
"IT IS ASSOCIATED with the image of the United States and is thought of as a menace," he continued. "As a result, it has been greeted with resistance from the left and right political wings.
"I praise the idea of having a similar program to that of the American liberal arts and sciences," Gonzalez, a former student at the University of San Marcos, said. "It will increase the working level of students at Lima."
The controversy at South America's oldest university has arisen in the midst of a campaign for "rector" or president of the university.
