Expected policy changes clarified by draft board The Selective Service System has clarified expected policy changes on undergraduate student deferments.

College students who were enrolled full time in the 1970-71 academic year will be eligible for student deferments in the 1971- 72 school year if they continue to make satisfactory progress in their programs of study, Selective Service officials said.

However, young men who entered school for the first time this summer and those who enroll as freshmen this fall

Transfer changes create concern "A lot of kids are going to be hurt" according to Mr. 0. Byron Gibbs, head of the Counseling Department, because of a possible change in the 60-unit transfer rule for state colleges.

As described in the monthly newspaper of the California Junior College Association (CJCA), action is being taken by the trustees in a two- day meeti ng this week on the possible change.

The paper states that the present rule is being reconsidered because it is "unfair and discriminatory" according to the state colleges.

The new rule outlined in July modifies t he existing law and contains a requirment of 60 units of transferable credit.

In addition, credit for both admission a nd degree purposes would be made the same. This, in effect, makes "remedi al, developmental and certain non- transferable vocational-technical type courses" non- applicable toward admission.

CJCA executive director Lloyd E. Messersmith expressed the assoc iation's view by stating that CJCA "simply cannot support" the state colleges on this rule. Messersmith continued, "The real concern of course is one of penalty to t he student a nd we feel the state coll eges have not addressed themselves to this fact.''

In addition, if the new law is passed each college will have the right to set up its own standards as to transferability of courses.

Young Republicans meet There will be an organizational meeting for the Young Republicans at 11 a.m. Friday in room P - 20.

The purpose of the meeting will be to elect officers and discuss projects for the coming year.

All those interested should plan on attend ing this important meeting.

will not qualify for student deferments if the pending changes to the Selective Service Act are finall y passed by Congress .

Dr. Curtis W. Tarr, Selective Service director, said "Few incoming freshmen students are likely to be inducted in the near future because of the student deferment phaseout. " Of the 1,034,000 incoming freshman males estimated by the Office of Education, approximately 80 percent are 18 years old and only 20 percent are 19 years of age and older. The 18 year olds will receive their lottery numbers in 1972, and they will not be subject to induction until 1973, when draft calls should be low. The 19 year old freshmen received their lottery numbers August 5 of this year and will be subject to induction next year; at least one half should have high e nough lottery numbers to preclude their induction.

Of those remaining, approximately 50 percent will be disqualified on mental, moral or physical grounds. This means that a maximum of 50,000 men will be directly affected in 1972 by the student deferment phaseout and onehalf of these, or 25,000, will probably not be inducted because of enlistments in regular, reserve or National Guard units, participating in commissioning p rograms or because of procedural delays.

Dr. Tarr said that college students will not be drafted in the middle of a semester or term. "If called while enrolled, they will be allowed to postpone the ir induction until the end of the semester, or te r m. If in their last academic year , they will be able to postpone the ir induction until after graduation.''

Patrons need new members Pal,OO' of Palomar, a volunteer organization of north county citizens supporting Palomar students and projects, has issued a general invitation for new members for the 1971-72 college year.

The organization directs much of its program toward raising funds for scholarships and other student assistance.

"Parents of college students, adult students attending the college, and all interested citizens are urged to join and participate in Patrons activities," said Mrs. W. F. Pulver, membership chairman.

She pointed out that the Patrons' aid to the students for 1970-71 reached a new high mark. Awards to three sophomores going on to four-year colleges were increased from $200 to $300.

The $100 scholarships for returning Palomar sophomore . were increased from three to four.

Honors Day awards of $100 each were given to three high school students planning to enroll here. The Patrons Nursing schol arship was raised from $50 to $200. In addition, the organization gave other financial assistance through the campus work fund, several sruaent acnv1t1es, ana couege activities.

Much of the funds for these benefits are raised at the annual Pink Elephant sale which netted more than $2,400 last spring. Dates for the 1972 sale have been set for May 12 and 13 .

"The other needed funds must be raised through membership dues," Mrs. Pulver said. "Those who join in the current campaign will be assisting to an important degree our continued ass istance to worthy students."

The following are the names of the 46 candidates that are subject to approval of qualificatio n: Intending to run for president are: Jerry Nicholas , Robert L . Garvin, J . C. Heminger, Mari o R. Rubalcaba and Pauline E. Woody, Vice president: Floyd Me Keithe n, John Higdon, Susan Nelson and Steve Miller.

the yOuth vote Editor's note: This is the first installment in a series of twelve columns that will be published in the TELESCOPE periodically throughout the semester.

These are written by prominent figures in America and deal with the issues that are making today's headlines.

(Copyright 1971 by Kenneth Bode.)

"Youth Power at the Polls"--"Young Voters May Change Make-up of Congress in '72"-- "Nixon Re-election Threatened by Youth Vote."

These are familiar newspaper headlines. Since the adoption of the 26th Amendment, reporters have been predicting that the future of American politics could be largely determined by the 25 million young people who will be eligible to cast their first ballot in 1972. But the young voters' road to the polling booth is not unencumbered, and their political power cannot be taken for granted.

Threat posed

One serious threat to the youth vote is posed by the election laws of Michigan and North Dakota. In these two states, young people will be able to vote for one of the candidates for President in the 1972 election. However, they will not be able to participate in the nomination of those candidates.

For young people, voting for President in 1972 could prove virtually meaningless unless they have a choice in the nominating process as well. The struggle for the Democratic nomination at the July convention will be the likely focus of youth interest--and it is here that their influence could be vital.

'Children's Crusade'

In 1968 young people were credited with making an important difference in the nominating process of the Democratic P a rty. One presidential campaign e ven became known as the "Children's Crus ade." Nevertheless, the influence of youth was limited . They could ring doorbells, stuff envelopes, write speeches and make posters. But real power-the vote--was generally beyond their reach.

With few exceptions, young people were not give n the opportunity of serving as voting delegates to the Democratic National Convention or fo helping to select the delegates. Sixteen state delegations at the convention had no voting membe rs under 30 years of age, and another 13 had only one delegate from this age group. (The Republicans have an even more dismal record. Only 1 per cent of the delegates at the 1968 GOP Convention were under 30, while 83 per cent were 40 ye ars of age or older. In 42 states, there were no voting delegates und er 30.)

However, despite party reforms and despite the 26th Amendment, the youth in Michigan and North Dakota will face severe restrictions on their right to participate in the nomination of a presidential candidate in 1972. Under the election laws of both states, National Convention delegates are chosen at state party conventions. State convention delegates are chosen at county conventions.

And county delegates are chosen at a party primary. This primary election represents the only opportunity available to all voters for participation in the presidentail nominating process-and it already has been held. In both states, the· election occured in late summer of 1970.

Suits prepared

The Center for Political Reform has prepared lawsuits to be brought in each state by young voters and new restdents who are deprived of their voting rights by state law. The suits are based on the 26th Amendment, the right to travel, the right to political association, the Equal Protection Clause, and the 1970 Voting Rights Act. The courts will be asked to enjoin present delegation selection procedured and to require each state to hold a new primary election.

If these court actions are successful, another barracade in the path of young people's voting rights will have been knocked down. If they fail, the youth of Michigan and North Dakota will have good reason to question the legitimacy of the electoral process. It's a shrewd trick to tell someone that he can now vote for President-- but that he can have no say in who the candidates are.

As "Boss" Tweed used to put it, "I don't c·a re who does the electing, just so long as I do the nominating."

Nine resistors back on Connie after pre-dawn raid on church Federal officers stormed the Christ the King Catholic Church early Saturday morning violating its declared sanctuary and arresting the· nine Constellation crewmen taking refuge there.

The men were immediately flown to their ship at sea with no specific charges filed against them.

Father James Gallus protested the 4 :30 a.m. raid by 20 federal marshalls and seven Navy agents.

Sympathizers have objected to their imprisonment in the Constellation brig since they will be unable to speak to lawyers,friends, priests and supporters .

Young Democrats meet

A table is to be manned in the Student Union by campus activists this week to give out information, answer questions and organize support for the men.

Local supporters are calling for a le tter-writing campaign to Congressmen and Senators asking for legislative intervention to return the men to San Diego.

Letters of support to the men can be sent care of Chaplain Calvin Schmidt, USS Constellation (CVA-64), F leet Post Office, San Francisco, 96601.

The men are: An. Charles Andrews, ET3 Carl Flanagan, An. Dan Hoag, Fn. Jim Mikell, Sn Ron McCloud, Sa. Darryl Larrabee, AT3 Jon Obe, SM3 Charles Lawson, and Sa. David Clay.

Young Democrats club of will have a meeting Friday, 8 at 11 a.m. in P-18. All interested in participating in ganization are urged to attend .

The nine sailors had taken sanctuary in the Southeast San Diego church Wednesday refusing to participate · in the Vietnam War by leaving with the attack carrier USS Constellation headed for the war zone.

Restrictions faced

The National Democratic Party has tried to rectify this past discrimination by requiring all state parties to actively encourage the participation of young people in all party affairs and to include 18-30 year olds in the National Convention delegation in "reasonable relationship'' to their presence in the state population.

Disenfranchised voters

As a result, large numbers of Michigan and North Dakota voters will be prevented from taking part in the selection of their party's presidential nominee. These voters include (1) 18-20 year olds who are newly enfranchised by the 26th amendment, (2) 21-23 year olds who were ineligible to vote in the 1970 primary, and (3) new residents who have moved into the state since 1970. In Michigan alone, the young people who are thus disenfranchised number over 1,000,000.

Bills have been introduced in the Michigan and North Dakota legislatures that call for a new primary in 1972. The North Dakota legislature adjourned without taking action, and Michigan politicians predict that the reform bill has little chance of passing their state's legislature. Consequently, court action is the only remaining a lternative .

•'The marshalls rushed in, lined everybody up, searched some of us and handcuffed the Connie crewmen without even giving a c harge or warrant,~ said John Kent, one of those sleeping in the church.

Father Gallus finally demanded identification from the officers and to be shown the warrants. ''I told them I considered this a violation of the moral sanctity of the church," Rev. Gallus said. "I then was told that the U.S. has no formal treaty with the Vatican providing for the use of Catholic churches as sanctuaries."

The Most Rev. John Quinn, auxiliary bishop of San Diego County Catholic Diocese, had said he did not authorize the use of the church ·as a sanctuary, but also had not forbidden the action.

Bishop Quinn also said the concept of sanctuary does not apply in the U.S. as in other countries where church buildings are exempt from civil law.

The Navy had previously classified the men as deserters. When the warrant was read it mentioned "unauthorized absence", a less e r crime, according to Kent.

The officers surrounded the church compound and assaulted the sanctuary at first catching a lookout atop the belltower unawares.

"We were all sleeping, disoriented and stunned by the officers' Gestapo tactics," said Bud Taylor, one of the first to the door.

Father Gallus said, "We were all stunned by the Navy's methods. They used such force to do the same thing that could be done by one man in the daytime."

Remember Friday, so who cares?

By Guy Kennedy Where were you at 10 a.m., Friday, 17 September, 1971? No, it wasn't an especially auspicious day. Not many are at Palomar. But the chances are tha t you were not in the Dome.

An alarming numbe r of students braved a steady drizzle, after being e jected from the cafeteria , the library, and freed from the classroom, rather than have their apathy disturbed byDr. Frederick Huber ' s convoca tion adress. Not that it carried the venom of Krusc hev' s denounciation of Stalin, nor the promi se of the Gettysburg adress. But it was s till an eve nt of importance on t he campus.

Why the gr eat desert of indiffe r e nce a t P alomar? Is it due to the fac t t ha t t he bulk of us arrive in separate limb atrophying machine s and can't be bothered to concern ourselves with the day' s happenings ?

Now is the time to visit your local registrar, start paying attention to the candidates and their platforms. Let's remember the ones who campaigned on promises that were forgotten before the oath-taking ceremony. Let both the candidates and the public at-large know that YOU intend to be heard and felt.

Volunteers required Volunteers are u rge ntly needed to as sist in taking votes for the ASG e lections Thursday and Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Anyone who can donate some time to this activity should report to the Student Activities Office today.

Remember back in good 'ol high school when student body officers we r e e lected on the basis of the ir s ocial popularity and the quantity and / or qual ity of their campaign posters ? \Yell, if you haven't thought about it lately, just take a look at what is beginning to happen right here on a real live grown-up college campus. Just read a few of the ridiculous posters that are beginning to appear around campus , and memories of those wonder ful days of pep-rallies and pimples ar_e very likely to become a part of your consciousness.

They tried it last year. Two of the candidates made an asinine atte mpt to buy votes with free sandwiches and lunchhour band conce rts. Thank goodness they were unsuccessful (even though those who were fin ally ele cted didn't exactly live up to their promises).

Last s e mester's president promised in his campaign to be a "thinking Presid ent," a promise which he appare ntly lived up to, but a ll we have is his word on it.

I can't help me ntioning a couple of posters s ighted on the c ampus whic h are particularly revolting.

One enterpris ing female, in her que s t for political glory has referred to herself as a "chick." In my opi ni on, any woman who thinks of herself as a "c hick" a nd appare ntl y wants eve ryone e lse to regard her as such, just doesn't make it as governing material.

Then there is the catchy s logan: "Vote for the man who doesn't need a tan."

Are we being put on ? I mean , what difference does your skin color make?

The really ironic thing about all this "campaign sensationali sm" is lhat it works!

People rea ll y fall for that kind of deceit and that is what I am afraid of.

We have absol ute ly no use for so meone who thinks it's all over once the election is won and the credit is recorded on his transcript.

Sure there's no way to tell which candidate is going to live up to hi s promises (look who we put in Washi ngton!), but we can be selective whe n these people advertise their ignorance on posters or in the form of unrealistic statements. The phonies will reveal themselves, and it's up to us as voters to be perceptive enough to notice it.

Will the candidates who r eally mean it please stand up?

Dee Crumpton, Palomar student and deputy registrar of voters, explained that there is no I.D. required, but that knowing or having your Social Security number would be helpful. "With this s yste m of computerizing, it is helpful to memorize your Social Security no."

Miss Crumpton pointed aut that "You can register if you're going to be 18 within the next 90 days."

Registrar Crumpton mentioned that my student with a felony conviction :Jhould call the Registrar of Voters to see if they are eligible to register.
