Corson: Draft, Budget, Housing, Dining . . . CORNELL A variety of University problems ranging from ROTC to the budget CHRONICLE were discussed by President Dale R. Corsoh during an interview broadcast last night by radio station WVBR. Cornell Chronicle reprints below a transcript of the "Conversation The official weekly of record for Cornell University with the President" interview which had been taped at an earlier date.

Q: Mr. Corson. what's your opinion on the draft lottery system? Vol. 1 No. 1 1 Thursday, December 1 1, 1969 A: If we're to have a draft, I think the lottery system is probably the fairest way to do it.

The Ford Foundation flatly rejected any of Seznec's plans to use up the leftover money from the Six-Year Ph. D. grant. Seznee said the Foundation representatives gave no specific reasons for their refusal, but he said, "I would feel, from what I know, that they feel that the program was a failure." Seznec further explained that foundations "tend to have a very geometric sense" in calculating whether a program has accomplished the exact tasks it was supposed to. And in this case. Seznec said, the goal of the program was to produce some Six-Year Ph.D's.
