Draft reforms sought by Dole
Full-time students in good standing at junior and community colleges should be allowed draft deferments for the future well-being of America, Rep. Bob Dole said last week.
"Education is certainly a vital force in America's well-being," Dole said. He is the author of an eight-point bill recently introduced in Congress to achieve "urgently needed draft reforms."
The U.S. Congressman from Kansas, is a candidate for the Republican nomination to the U.S. Senate this year. He spoke at the sidewalk bazaar here.
Dole said his bill would also extend deferments, but not exemptions, to students already in graduate school, allowing them
"IT IS IMPERATIVE the Congress affirm this year its commitment to make the draft as fair and as just as possible," he said.
To accomplish this the draft laws must be revised and viewed in terms of the total manpower needs of the nation.
to complete their academic work. Part-time students in essential fields of study would also be granted deferments.
"TODAY, THE draft is not fair and just. It is not administered with complete impartiality or with total justice, and the Armed Forces requirements for manpower are not weighed or determined within a coherent framework of the nation's total manpower needs," he said.
Dole's bill also requires, except in wartime, physical and mental standards for induction be no lower than those for voluntary enlistments and that national standards for occupational deferments be established.
It also reiterates the Congressional statement of intent that military manpower needs be met as far as possible by volunteers, and that draft quotas be set far enough in advance to give draftees 30 days notice before induction
Frosh program starts 3rd year
WEATHER

Sunny skies will prevail today according to the U.S. Weather Bureau. The highs today will touch 90 degrees and the lows tonight will hover around 70.
The college within a college program will begin its third year at KU this fall, for all freshmen enrolled in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
The same five colleges which were established last year will continue this year with the offices to be in the residence hall which houses the plurality of members. The program is designed to give freshmen and sophomores the advantages of a small college within the framework of a large university.
"Many parents are pleased with the program even more than the students," Lewis said. He emphasized that the program is not designed in any way to hurt fraternities.
THEIS PROGRAM was first conceived several years ago by two University committees, the Educational Policies Committee and the College Intermediary Board. Since KU's initiation of the plan, many other states have begun putting similar programs into operation—particularly California.
THE SYSTEM was designed to give students a sense of community spirit. Students will live together and know each other better because they will attend some of the same classes and extra-curricular activities together, Jerry Lewis, director of the program, said.
An experimental fore-runner, Centennial College, was opened in the fall of 1966 with 300 students. At this time all of the students were housed in Oliver and Ellsworth residence halls. Last year the program was expanded to include all incoming freshmen in the College, no matter where they lived.
The five colleges again this year are Centennial, Oliver, Pearson, North and Corbin.
CENTENIAL COLLEGE will have offices in Ellsworth Hall and will include 445 men and women from Ellsworth and Oliver halls, Phi Delta Theta, Phi Kappa Psi, Phi Kappa Tau and Tau Kappa Epsilon.
Oliver College will have offices in Oliver Hall and will include 430 men and women from Oliver, Naismith, McColllum and Templin halls, Alpha Kappa Lambda, Lambda Chi Alpha, Phi Gamma
Delta, Sigma Phi Epsilon and Phi Kappa Sigma.
FINALLY, THE bill removes current prohibitions against the lottery in order to open other avenues to the selection of inductees.
The offices for Pearson College will be in Joseph R. Pearson, JRP and Gertrude Sellards Pearson halls; Pearson, Sellards, and Watkins Scholarship halls; and Delta Tau Delta, Delta Chi Phi, Phi Kappa Theta, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Sigma Nu, and Theta Chi fraternities will house the college's 400 students.
North College, named after the original college building in Lawrence, will have offices at GSP and will include 380 students from
JRP, GSP, Douthart, Grace Pearson and Stephenson Scholarship halls, and Acacia, Alpha Phi Alpha, Alpha Tau Omega, Beta Sigma Psi, Beta Tau, Beta Theta Pi and Kappa Sigma.
Last Kansan
Corbin College with 400 students has offices in Corbin Hall. The students will reside in Corbin and Joseph R. Pearson Halls; Battenfeld, Jolliffe and Miller Scholarship halls; and Alpha Epsilon Pi, Delta Sigma Phi, Delta Upsilon, Kappa Alpha Psi, Pi Kappa Alpha, Sigma Chi and Triangle fraternities.
"We must insure that our draft practices are both scrupulously fair and are in agreement with and subordinate to the total manpower needs of the nation," Dole concluded.
The Summer Session Kansan suspends publication with today's issue for the 1968 Summer Term. The University Daily Kansan will begin publishing for the fall semester on Sept. 14.
New KU librarian
Heron predicts transmission of books
By LUCIA GREEN Journalism Camp Reporter
In a quiet, excited voice, David W. Heron, new director of libraries at KU, presented the hope of eventually transmitting pages of a book by high frequency radio systems for interlibrary services.
This new process is known as telefacsimile and according to Heron will become extremely efficient for the interlibrary service.
Another process being experimented is the use of cathode ray tubes. The page will be projected on the tube of which a picture will then be taken. This process is similar to reproducing photographs for newspapers but with more speed of relay and better definition of the pictures.
Heron came from the University of Nevada at Reno where he had been director for seven years. He also served as special library adviser of the University of Ryukyu and as librarian of the American Embassy in Tokyo.
HERON CAME to KU partly out of an initial curiosity and because the library facilities at KU are large enough to present a challenge.
When Heron was working in Japan, the Embassy had just been reactivated from the war. Other libraries in Tokyo were not yet functioning and the Embassy library received many requests for information. As the libraries opened the Embassy library's role decreased plus funds were
insufficient to keep operating on the proper level.
KNITTING HIS BROW, Heron described his philosophy of library administration. As funds permit, as much material as possible should be made available to the students in a well-organized setup To him, there is a challenge in organizing a big university library.
KU has 200,000 volumes that have not yet been catalogued. This reflects a "very adequate expenditure on books but not quite enough on a staff." Heron said.
Heron said most students are more interested in participating in the administrative affairs of the library which is reflective in the expectations of service.
"MOST IMPORTANT to the student," Heron said, "is for the administration to be sensitive to the frustrations students encounter by using a big library." The bigger the library facility the harder it is to be convenient for the student.
Filling his "corn cob" pipe and leaning back in his chair, Heron commented on his family. His oldest daughter, Holly, is now in Europe on a guided tour. When she returns she will be a second semester sophomore at Berkeley.
James, the oldest son, is at the University of Washington studying oceanography under the Summer Secondary Science Program. One other son, Charles, 3, is "a constant source of great pleasure and strain." Heron said.
