a replacement, but it may cut into funding for other programs."
Rep. Jim Slattery, D-Kan, who represents the 2nd Congressional District including Lawrence, said he is concerned about the issue of national service.
"I like the concept of national service in general," Slatterry said. "It has a lot of merit. But there are serious questions about it. Should it be voluntary? If so, should it deny educational benefits to those who participate? And should everyone be required to participate to go to college?"
Tom Berger, assistant director of the office of affirmative action, said he disagreed with the rationale behind the Nunn-McCurdy bill.
"It's based on the false premise that higher education should be a privilege for those who have earned it," Berger said. "It will hit particular hard at poor people. The affliction will be able to go to college."
Slattery said that he had similar reservations and that he believed the structure should not be discriminatory.
"If government service is good for one who needs assistance, it's also zooed for one who doesn't," he said.
In response to such criticisms, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Rep. John Porter, R-III, introduced a bill that would require the Bush administration to develop a mandatory national service plan.
Max Sutton, professor of English, said he was opposed to mandatory national service.
"I don't like the idea of a whole group of society not having to serve because of finances," he said. "But I don't like the idea of compulsion, either. I don't see how you can involve people to be service-oriented."
Loomis said there were two problems with the concept.
"First, there is the notion of class bias, that the middle, and upper-class can buy out," he said. "Second, that the draft, that the draft, has draft-like elements.
"I personally think universal service is a terrific idea. I consider myself a real civil libertarian, and I believe any objection to universal service."
Some of the national service plans, including the Nunn-McCurdy bill, are required by the military recruiting by including a provision for a military service option.
the department of military science, said he was skeptical about such proposals.
Kuhn said that he believed in the volunteer force system and that any changes to the system that might jeopardize it were set backs.
Slattery said there were practical problems that needed to be resolved.
"It's one thing to tell people to participate," he said. "But what will they do, and who will administer it? What is the cost associated with housing, feeding, and supervising? We are potentially creating jobs that would fill jobs filling Volunteers might place some low-kill paid workers.
Lt. Col. Robert Kuhn, chairman of
Loomis said that national service could get substantial bi-partisan support if President Bush placed it on his agenda.
"Conceptually, it has a nice ring to it, but when you move beyond that, there are some problems with it."
Berger said he agreed.
"When push comes to shove, we have a history of serving the country. I think the leaders need to spend more time telling the country we owe something. I wanted to go out and save the world when I heard John Kennedy say, '...ask rather what you can do for your country.'"
Rap song spreads anti-pregnancy message to teens
by Heather L. Anderson Kansan staff writer
A nurse at Haskell Indian Junior College is taking the word to the streets about teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases.
Mike Brown, health center nurse, co-wrap a song titled "It Pays to Wait" which hit the air waves last week in Lawrence, Topeka, Junction City, Wichita, Haws and Dodge City.
Jarris Morgan, Topeka musician, collaborated with Brown on the song.
The 30-second song, which promotes teen pregnancy awareness, will air for three weeks as a public service announcement, he said.
Kansas Action for Children, Inc. financed the radio spots.
"I got the idea for it about five months ago when I was listening to KPIS-FM. Brown said: 'I think it should be.' I good way to get the message out."
"Our goal is long term reduction in the number of pregnant girls age 17 and under." Brown said.
According to statistics from the Center for Disease Control, the greatest number of sexually transmitted diseases occurs among peo-
"There are already babies with AIDS being born to teen mothers," Brown said.
Another goal is reducing the prevalence of sexually transmitted diseases among teenagers, he said.
If the song is successful, it may pave the way to a televised public announcement that would reach more people, he said.
One of Brown's endeavors was a poster featuring the Topeka Sizzlers basketball team. The posters were also his fatherhood could limit life's goals.
Brown focuses his efforts on males because much of the information about pregnancy is aimed at females.
Brown said that he wanted to make certain that teens knew that both parties were responsible for pregnancy.
