CASTLETON ST ATE COLLEGE April 29, 1966 Pag,e 2 THE SPARTAN Draft Confusion In recent months, a great many confEcting opinions regarding the draft have been voiced, mostly by students who have ap pointed themselve.:; interpreters of Selective Service System pol iry. This is regi"ettable but understandable, since official spokes me:i have been peculiarly silent. The Selective Service should be able to state what importance the draft deferment test will have in determining a student's eli g:b "lity, but it has not. Neither has it clearly delineated a stand ard of scholastic achievement for students to work toward. Con sequently, rumors on the subject abound1 while facts are few. In the middle of this morass is General Hershey, the director of the Selective Service. Hershey has suggested that trouble makers be drafted, and has made it clear that be considers anti war and anti-draft demonstrators to be trouble-makers. T his statement has done little to ease students' minds about the fai r ness of draft board decisions. We conclude from all this that there are few ways for a stu de:-it to determine where he stands with the dra~ ; the Selective Service System itself seems to complicate the problem rather than clarify it.
