With the help of some hard nosed generals, smiling politicians and situational moralists, the Parker Brothers launched into a pro­ gram to bring peace to the little seaport in Southeast Asia. No doubt the draft lottery is clear to everyone, but the draft is a, mere clog in the entire scope of the scheme. A large board a mile square is to be erected at the focal point of the Pentagon. The board will be chartered with many small blocks, pathways,mountains and jungles. Once a boy reaches the age 19 he will be represented on the board by a small soldiers-token with a color corresponding to his political affiliation, Red for Republican, Blue for Democrat and White if his name happens to be Pat Nugent or George Hamilton. H e will be assigned a number aru1 mat numoer will be ingraved on his token. All of the numbers will correspond to those colored numbers on a gigantic roulette wheel, with the reds and blues distributed pro­ portionately to the Congressmens' political parties. There will be no whites. The cadre of the Army, Navy, and Air Force will spin the wheel over and over until they can select enough men for the war. The figures of the men will be thenplacedonthe combat zone of the board, and their physical representatives will be shipped off to the various army forts throughout the States, where they will wait out their two year induction. Representatives from the VietCong will perform a similar ceremony in their country and bring their camouglaged soldiers' -tokens to the Pen­ tagon in Washington. When the preliminary recruiting is ended, and a proportionate number of figures from each side placed on the board, the game will begin. General William Westmoreland, because he is a five-star, will roll the dice first, and a battalion of replicas will advance the correspond­ ing number of spaces on the board. Since statisticians report that nearly one of ten is killed in war, every tenth block will be marked dead. So, if the General, by some freak accident tossed ten, the batta­ lion would be anhilated and removed from the board. Realizing that replication and chance are a part of every game, the Parker boys have arranged that a radio network be set up between the Pentagon and the army bases housing the inductees. And should the battalion, company, platoon or squad be rolled into an annihilation We're coming soon. For job details and date, consult your Placement Office, now. square, a call would go out to the base ordering the men in the unit to be killed. The General would merely select one of the fortune cards marked pistol, mortar, bomb, mine or machine gun. to determine the weapons used in executing the men at the base. To similate the sound of tll.e battle field, the noise of the execution of the men should be re­ layed back and piped over the public address system. Unfortunately, some men are wounded in war, and those whose token A/14ER/CA/V A/RL//VES representatives happen to land on a square marked wounded would be AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER • A PLANS FOR PROGRESS COMPANY forced to a similar fate. The General this time would select a card from the chance pile marked left arm, left leg, intestine, eye, brain, etc. The card signifies the injury to be inflicted at the base, and de­ pending on the seriousness of it the inductee would either be released or sent to Walter Reed. For realism, the soldier will be wounded with the gun choosen by the enemy. And for the sake of simulation, the noise of the woundings will also be broadcast back to the men in the Pentagon. The ob.lect of the game, of course is to eliminate each country's 19 year-olds. But If by some freak a-ccident all of the boys land m an annihilation block slm111taneously, the procedure will be repeated with the 20 year-olds, 21 year-olds, 2Z year-olds until all the youth is killed and the only people remaining are a dozen crusty old generals, Pat ;:'h~ni1:i~ in me-rdmndising, of course, Nugent and George Hamilton.

Hall Presidents Defy Schwartz , Stick Together In a surprise m•we last week, Jay Schwartz, President of the Hall Presidents' Cou(lcil, pre­ sented a m:-~tion to the Notre Dame Senate that called for the alnlition of the Council in favor of a Hall Life Commission.

The Hall Presidents' COU£.Cil that Schwartz advocatedscrapping is composed of 20 hall presidents, (this year both How·Hd and Lyons have co-presidents) a secretary­ treasurer and Schwartz, the head of the group.
