Students rally against draft return
By TOM ZIND Staff Reporter
Calling for the dismantling of the Selective Service System and a withdrawal of American troops from abroad, four draft opponents yesterday spoke to an informal gathering in front of Wesley Hall at an antiterrorism event by Students for a Libertarian Society.
The rally, one of 60 organized across the country yesterday by the Society as part of a national campaign to stop the draft, was followed by a petition drive.
Speaking to approximately 50 people, Bill Bahr, Great Bend graduate student and a member of the society, said draft "The way for a mass call-up and another war."
On Monday, the House Military Personnel Subcommittee approved a bill that would reinstate draft registration for 18-year-old males. However, the bill still must pass the
House and Senate and be signed by President Carter before becoming law.
The draft was ended in 1973.
"LET THERE BE no doubt about it." Bahr said. "Registration is the first
The society, based in San Francisco, is opposed to the draft because it says forced national service is a violation of individual rights. The group says that if the military gets the manpower it desires, it will have the necessary to start or enter another war.
Reading from a text prepared by the national students for Libertarian Society headquarters used at other rallies around the country. Bahr said the draft would not eliminate its military presence in foreign countries.
"There is no doubt in the matter of a real problem exists in the country's military,"
he said. "But if our foreign policy cannot succeed without a draft, without disrupting young people's lives by forcing them into the armed services, then it is our foreign policy that must be changed—not the volunteer force."
BAHR CALLED American foreign policy paternalistic and said this attitude caused the continuing threat of a peacetown draft. The decision of changes must be made in U.S. foreign policy.
"As long as the Selective Service System exists; as long as our foreign policy of global power and alliance hold the sway, the draft or threat of draft will always be with us," he said. "We will always be the hostages of the American state."
Bahr said that the military should be concerned wholly with protecting the American shores from invasion and that the threat was capable of providing that defense.
ANOTHER MEMBER of the society,
Deiltre Coligan, Bonner Springs senior, said
she was opposed to the draft because "nobody should get killed for no reason." She said that the power of the people was so great that similar efforts could stop the draft in 1979.
Preaching peace and the necessity of remembering the Vietnam era, Leroy Chittenden, another speaker, said the need to be prepared toibility to the younger people of the country.
"We have a special role." Chittenden, the Quaker, said, "We can remember Vietnam and the young people won't. There is only one way to be Vietnam and that is to say no to the draft."
The number of people in Lawrence who have said no to the draft now numbers about 1,000, according to Bahr. He said the group had been averaging about 100 signatures an hour on the petition, which will be sent to Kansas congressmen.
Bahr said the drive was scheduled to end when school was out but that it might be finished by then.
