THE UNIVERSITY DAILY kansan Serving KU For 77 of its 101 Years
JOHNSON SAID MANY post-
graduates "have managed to pile
deferment on deferment until
get away with anything and the
getry's need for young men."
About 2,000 KU graduate students, regardless of age and marital status, would be eligible for the draft under President Johnson's draft order announced Monday.
JOHNSON TOLD CONGRESS he will halt deferments for graduate students, except those in medical and dental schools.
Hitt said he believed the graduate deferments will be dropped to encourage graduate students to join ROTC or to volunteer for Officer Candidate School.
James K. Hitt, registrar, said the order "takes point blank aim" at graduate students because they would be placed in the current year's selection pool if they are under 35 and could be drafted as if they were 19.

JOHNSON'S DRAFT ORDER calls for men of 18 who are classified 1-A to be placed in a selection pool from which the needed number would be chosen by lottery when they are 19.
"I don't believe the army wants graduate students as privates," he said.
Low temperatures today brought anything but a spring atmosphere. Stylishly bundled against the elements, Mary Quinn, Kansas City junior, is shown enjoying a durable windbreak.
College students would be placed in this pool when their deferments expire.
IS SPRING FAR BEHIND?
Hitt said the new draft order is "a balance of the desire of the public that college students don't

ASC passes resolution on game sportsmanship
By JOHN MARSHALL
The All Student Council (ASC) last night passed a resolution concerning student sportsmanship at KU basketball games.
The resolution, introduced by Jay Cooper, Prairie Village junior, recommends that the Athletic Seating Board be notified that any KU student who interferes with players or officials or "showers the court with foreign objects" will be subject to a fine.
INITIALLY, THE RESOLU-
THE JUDICIAL ACTION and enforcement of the fine will be left to the discretion of the Student Court.
Al Martin, Shawnee Mission junior and Student Body President told Council members he had written a letter to the Colorado Daily, the University of Colorado student newspaper, apologizing for KU student behavior at the game.
Faculty opinions differ on grading
Opinion among KU deans about changes in the grading system is as varied as the schools they represent.
Triggered by a new grading system in the Law School which recognizes pluses and minuses, the debate is on again.
He said the real advantage is that a professor can more easily
Joseph Mcquire, dean of the Business School, said, "Overall I approve of the Law School system, but I wonder why they didn't carry it to the maximum and use a number system."
AT ONE EXTREME is the pass-fail system, and on the other is the lettered plus and minus scale. In between stands the commonly used A B C D F scale.
distinguish one group of students from another.
MCGUIRE SAID that it is impractical to get away from grades entirely, so a clearer differentiation should be used.
Kenneth Anderson, dean of the Education School, said, "I would not want to deviate from what we are presently doing in undergraduate school. I think that the present system is sufficient."
But he felt that a pass-fail system was best in graduate seminars where students have a more professional attitude.
"UNLESS A PLUS or a minus is required for retention in school." Howard Mossberg, dean of the Pharmacy School, said, "I can't see how it would help.
'Rep' shoots film of every contest
Bu PAUL HANEY
After every KU game, before the players are off the field or court, Wayne Replogle is heading for a Kansas City laboratory with film of the game. Coaches and players scrutinize game movies in a few hours.
HE SHOOTS MORE than 90,000 feet of game films each year, mostly football and basketball. Tennis, swimming, baseball, track and wrestling are filmed if a coach asks.
Replogle, known by coaches and players as "Rep." is director of photography for the department of athletics.
Copies of football game movies are sent to opponents "on a free and legal exchange to augment
their scouting." Replogle says. Basketball films are not exchanged because of a conference regulation.
Until 20 years ago, game movies were considered a plaything, he savs.
HE TELLS OF THE time a University official asked the coach how the team performed during a game.
"I don't know. I haven't seen the movies yet," the coach replied.
"But today, coaches are lost without them."
Game movies have improved athletics because they provide a scientific approach to coaching, Replogle believes.
"IT'S ALMCST impossible to
"In most instances I prefer our present system." Mossberg said. It is the one we are used to."

Thomas Gorton, dean of the Fine Arts School, said, "I see no great advantage in adding further gradation to our grading scale. Our present A B C D F scale is sufficient to grade students."
Pointing out the shortcomings of a pass-fail system, Gorton said, "I wouldn't think it would give sufficient information to graduate schools and prospective employers."
WILLIAM MOORE, dean of the School of Religion, said that while the system in the Law School may be justified. "It doesn't necessarily follow that other schools should use it.
All the deans said that any changes in grading would first have to meet faculty approval and that they could only give their personal opinion and not that of their schools.
"I see an advantage to a pass with honor, pass, or fail system," said Moore. This would provide incentive while not making the students grade-conscious.
tion states that "the image of the University of Kansas is dependent upon the actions of the students and reflects upon each student . . . Unsportmanlanlike conduct of the type witnessed at the Kansas-Colorado basketball game is injurious to the image of the university. . . ."
Cooper said that the resolution would remain in force throughout
the 1967 season, "including and emphasizing the NCAA regional playoffs March 17-18."
Pat Roark, Kansas City law student and head of the Student Court, said that if the resolution were enforced and brought to the court, there may be a question as to whether it is proper under the ASC constitution.
Women approve AWS constitution
The new Associated Women Students (AWS) constitution was passed by an overwhelming margin yesterday in a polling of KU residence halls and sororities.
Election results last night were 2,048 in favor of the new bill, with 181 against. Totals from Hashinger and sections of Lewis Hall were not yet received and will be tabulated later today by the Dean of Women's office.
THE NEW CONSTITUTION will, in theory, go into effect at the next AWS meeting. Mar. 14. According to Mrs. Susan Crawford, assistant dean of women, it will not actually be put into operation until installation of new officers after Mar. 29 elections.
Under the new constitution the name of the AWS House of Representatives will be changed to forum and the Senate will become the council. The council will be cut from its present 21 members to 17.
Mrs. Crawford emphasized that the purpose of reorganizing the legislation governing AWS was to allow closer cooperation between the council and forum.
"ALWAYS BEFORE, the two bodies were too widely separated, each with its own committees and methods of procedure," she said. "Now, the council will become the executive section of the forum.
"We're hoping to reorganize the committee structure through the bylaws. Committees will be comprised of members from both sections of AWS. They won't be duplicated as before."
Reduction in the size of the council will eliminate four seats formerly chosen through general referendum: representative from the fashion board (the fashion board will become an AWS committee), senate-house liaison (rendered unnecessary by attendance of AWS vice-president and secretary at sessions of both forum and council), and runners-up to council representatives from Panhellenic and the Inter-Residence Association.
AWS standard operating procedure will be set forth in the new bylaws now being written by the constitution committee and scheduled for completion before installation of new officers.
A BUCKET OF GOLD!!
