“Nothing contained in this title shall be construed to re-
quire any person to be subject to combatant training
and service in the armed forces of the United States
who, by reason of religious training and belief. is con-
scientiously opposed to participation in war in any
form.” (Selective Service Act of 1948: Title 1, Section
6 (j).

WASHINGTON (CPS)—]ohn McAuliff is opposed
to certain kinds of wars, but not to war “in any form."

As he wrote in the statement he prepared for his
draft board, he does not object to “international police
actions,” nor to defensive wars.

He also wrote that “although I think just policies
earlier would have prevented the second World War,
I would have fought Germany and japan."

He is totally opposed to nuclear war, and to “any
war or ‘peace-keeping action' which involves the na-
tionals of one country intervening in another and which
does not receive the backing of the broadest-based
intemational organization."

McAuliff is not a “selective GO." in the purest sense
——that is, he did not apply for conscientious objector
status solely because he opposes the Vietnam war—but
by almost any other measure he is a selective C.O.

In spite of his beliefs about war, however, his state
Selective Service Appeals Board (in Indiana) has
granted him C.O. status. He is to serve two years
doing alternative service.

McAulilf does not know why his state board decided
to approve his C.O. application. He had not expected
them to do so, and was preparing for further appeals
and court action.

“I thought I'd probably fight the case through the
courts for a couple of years," he said, “and then
eventually be faced with jail."

Under the old draft law (since amended, but ap-
plicable when McAuliff’s case was being considered),
his appeal could have been forwarded to the Justice
Department by his state board if there was any ques-

tion about it. The department would then have held
a hearing to decide his case.

No Justice Department Hearing

As far as he knows, the appeal was never forwarded
to \Vashington. No justice Department hearing was

held.

McAuliff, a graduate of Carleton College and a
Peace Corps veteran, now lives in Washington.

The decision by the Indiana Appeals Board in Mc-
Auliff’s case has no legal standing, and cannot be
employed as a legal precedent by other applicants
for CD. status. There are only two legal decisions
that bear on the selective C.O. question, both involving
Jehovah's Witnesses.

In Sicurella v. U.S., which came before the Supreme
Court in 1955, the court ruled that a witness could
be granted C.O. status even though he was willing to
fight in "theocratic wars."

LSD Users 6Damage

Their Future Children’

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP)—Tests show that LSD and two other
newly popular hallucination-inducing drugs cause birth defects in
animals, a medical researcher said Tuesday.

One of these drugs—mesca-
line—bears a close chemical re-
lationship to STP, the newest
hippieland drug, reported Dr.
\Villiam F. Geber Jr., associate
professor of pharmacology at
the Medical College of Georgia.

Critics Take
ROTC Course
At Stanford

STANFORD, Calif. (CPS)—
A special government clearance
has for the first time allowed
the military science program at
Stanford University to enroll
non-ROTC “guests” including
women in classes.

Of the guests, most are stu-
dents who have serious doubts
“about the worth of ROTC"
and hope to spark more dis-
cussion and questioning in the
classroom, according to one
cadet.

Special clearance came after
university officials, under some
pressure from students, asked
that the policy barring non-
ROTC students from the classes
be reconsidered, according to
C01. David Nanney, professor
of military science and head of
ROTC.

Nanney welcomed the new-
comers. He said, "It makes us
happy that the pot of contro-
versy is stirred and boiling. For
every dissenter we get, we also
get people who are interested

in the subject for other reasons.

the best results now with STP,"
Dr. Geber said.

But Dr. Geber said laboratory
experiments in which pregnant
hamsters were given injections
of LSD, rncscaline and BOL
(bromlyscrgic acid) resulted in
fetuses with malfonnations of
the brain, spinal cord, liver and
other organs.

Linked To Stillbirth

The drugs caused stillbirths,
runting and other defects, he
said in a paper prepared for
Science, the publication of the
American Association for the
Advancement of Science.

Dr. Geber said he believed his
report on mescaline (MES),
which is taken from the peyote
cactus, was the first on this
drug’s relationship to congential
defects.

Dr. Geber, 44, has been
studying birth defects and their
causes for 10 years. He received
his MS. and PhD. degrees
from Indiana University, his
A.B. degree from Dartmouth.
He was on the faculty at the
University of South Dakota be-
fore taking the Medical College
post in 1965.

"One of the dangers in taking
the hallucinogenic drugs is that
you've damaged your future
children.” he said.

Dr. Geber's studies, part of a
broad research program at the
state college, confirmed other
1967 data from experiments
with LSD in which its use pro-
duced runts and increased fetal
mortality in rats. and damage
in human chromosomes. based

judge Louie B. Nunn, Re-

nor reiterated his education
promises before 500 enthusiastic
students Tuesday night in the
Student Center Grand Ball
Room.

"We pledge our administra-
tion to quality education at all
levels, both public and private,"
Mr. Nunn said.

“Kentucky must have new
faces, new ideas and new ap-
proaches,” he said.

Offers Program

Mr. Nunn said he would:
0 Endeavor to provide free

summer school tuition for
teachers pursuing graduate de-
grees.

0 Offer a state income tax
credit to parents of students in
college and to the student if
he were paying his own way.

0 Offer a similar tax credit
to businesses and industries pro-
viding financial support to
higher education. either public
or private.

0 Make sufficient funds avail-
able to all students seeking an
education.

0 Establish a placement ser-
vice for all studetns seeking
summer and post-graduate jobs.

0 Offer students a voice in
shaping state policy through a

Warns Audience

"We will not be able to sue-
ceed in these endeavors nor
will Kentucky be able to im—
prove unless your generation is
ready for enthusiastic and active
participation in government af-
fairs,” Mr. Nunn warned the
audience.

“As students, as Americans,
you have the biggest stake in
Kentucky affairs.”

Mr. Nunn blamed Kentucky's
low position in national educa-
tional ranking on the present
administration. “It is they that
have played politics with Ken-
tucky government and the com-
monwealth has suffered," he
said.

"I say to the Combs-Breathitt

four more years of such ‘sound
building. It is time for a

ITHACA, N. Y. (CPS)—A
special commission at Cornell
University has recommended
that the university give up its
law enforcement activities on
campus, and restrict its disciplin-
ary authority over students
“solely to acts of misconduct
damaging to its (the univer-
sity's) educational objectives."

Previously the university has
helped local law-enforcement
authorities apprehen d law-
breakers at Cornell, particularly
marijuana users.

The commissioner's lengthy
report, released today, also
called for a greater student
voice in disciplinary matters on
campus.

Now that the report has been
made public, there probably
will be several months of dis-
cussion and debate on campus

Inent, and that therefore the
university should have regula-
tions against the “possession,

"use or sale" of it.

In the view of David Radin,
editor of the Cornell Daily Sun,
such a marijuana policy would
he in some ways a retrogression
from the previous policies.

“It appears to me," said
Radin, ”that the commission ap-
proached the issue with the idea
that marijuana had to be kept

off campus." He added that the
Sun would definitely come out
against that part of the report.
Another of the commission's
recommendation’sw that may
come in for criticism is the one
calling for faculty review of
certain cases adjudicated by the
student's Conduct Board. Ac—
cording to the report. the faculty
board should be able to review
lhr- student board's decisions
under “estraordmarv circum-
stances," when it is necessary

to “rectify any gross miscarriage
of justice.”

Radin savs that the faculty
board should not be able to
initiate such a review. He he-
lieves the faculty should review
onlv those cases that are ap-
pealed by defendants.

Radin praised some parts of

Maine Chance:

“Disgrace To Kentucky”

Says Dr. Arnold Pessin
The Unsuccessful Bidder

By DARRELL CHRISTIAN

“The University was not actively in-
terested in the farm until it knew I was.
Its interest was very much spontaneous."

Dr. Pessin said he sent his bid to
the Bank of New York on Friday, July
28.

”The bank authorized Mohney to ac-
cept the University’s bid here. Thw
wouldn't let me submit my bid here
. . . I had to send a written bid to New
York.

”The University had only an oral
mortgage committment from the First
National Bank. By this act, the Admin-
istration hurt the University as bad as
anything could have hurt it.

“I'm definitely not anti-University. . .
just anti these kind of tactics.”

Bank Reassured Him

Dr. Pessin said he suspected the Uni-
versity was trying to bid on the farm,
and called the Bank of New York on
Friday, July 28, to see if there were any
competitive bids. The bank assured him
there weren't, he said.

He said he tried to call the bank again
Monday, “but nobody would talk to me."

He finally contacted bank officials
at 5 p.m. Monday and was told the farm
had been sold to the University at 4:40
p.m. EDT. “They told me they received
my bid at 2:30 p.m. Monday," Dr. Pessin
said.

“That means the University and the
bank worked all weekend preparing and
receiving bids and selling the farm. I was
'rfever contacted'a'b'oiit an opposin’glbid.

“Furthermore, the bank had assured

me they would not release my bid. The
University says it did not have my bid,
but it knew of it. What . . . is the dif—
ference?"

Dr. Oswald said a University vice pres-
ident ‘was told by a Bank of New York
official that a bid of $1.9 million had been
mentioned when the farm came up for sale
after its owner's death.

The bank official, Dr. Oswald said,
”had no knowledge as to who had made
~‘this offer,“ but only that such an offer
had been indicated."

Oswald Approved Bid

He said he was asked if the Univer-
sity might go to $2 million and added
that be approved such a bid. Mr. Ells-
worth and Dr. Pessin said they were the
$1.9 million bidders.

Dr. Pessin said the University's bid
was ”not a completely honest bid. It was
made over the telephone." '

He said UK's bid was $15,000 more
than the school's own appraisal, which
he said was made in one day. “It was
a rigged appraisal to justify the deed.
Professionals told the University it would
take 30 days to make an accurate ap-
praisal."

The Bank of New York told Dr. Pessin
he was not informed of the University's
hid because it was $58,000 higher than
his offer.

”Mr. Ellsworth and 1 had decided

to go as high as $2,150,000 for the farm,

1 know $58,000 would not have stopped
us.
Asked why Maine Chance is the only

farm where he can establish competition
for Keeneland, Dr. Pessin said, “It is
ideal—a choice spot for this type of en-
deavor. I looked for two years and couldn't
find another location. It is definitely
a growing horse farm.

Other Sites ‘Suitable'

“On the other hand, it is not the only
place the University can grow its pigs,
sheep and horses. It can do this just
about anywhere.

”The purchase is a definite conspiracy
between UK and Keeneland."

If he wins his_suit, Dr. Pessin said he
will buy the farm and develop it to pro-
vide competition for Keeneland. And he
actually believes he will win.

If UK is beaten in court, he says,
the Kentucky Research Foundation will
be broken up and the University will be
forced to sell Spindletop Farm because
it did not obtain it by act of the state
legislature.

”The Kentucky Research Foundation
is an illegal, unconstitutional body. It
has no employes and is operated by UK
personnel with salaries paid by UK.

“It is given government grants, which
are administered by the Board of Trustees
of the University. Ten percent of the grants
are given to the corporation for its oper-
ation, but this actually is just a slush
fund . . . and this is the money being used
to buy Maine Chance Farm.

'Dummy Corporation'

“The UK Research Foundation is just
a dummy corporation operated by the
UK Board of Trustees, and ,all the money
UK gets is from taxpayers."

What will happen if Dr. Pessin and
Mr. Ellsworth lose the suit?

”We will bring a taxpayers' suit if the
attorney general doesn't move against the
foundation. We'll sue the complete Board
ofTrustees," Dr. Pessin said.

”But we will win because there is a
unique position in being right. [believe
integrity still has a basis in our form of
govern ment . ' '

The consequences of a court defeat
would affect the entire state, Dr. Pessin
continued.

"If we lose, then it would be best

' Others ‘Will Go'

”If we can't give Keeneland some
competition, Calumet will go, King Ranch
will go and Darby Dan Farm will go.
In 15 years, you'll have to hunt a horse
in Kentucky. And Lexington will be
another town like Detroit . . : wall-to-wall
concrete."

Dr. Pessin denied speculation that he
and Mr. Ellsworth were planningtodevel-
op the farm into a subdivision.

”That is merely propaganda,andthere
is no way to substantiate it. We have no
intention of subdividing it, making it
commercial property or anything else ex—
cept a highly intensified horse farm.

”1 defy anyone to bring one shred of
evidence that we entertained the thought
of any commercial development.

"And ['11 be glad'to have an open
debate with anybody on the issue of
Maine Chance Farm."

By DICK KIMMINS

Attorney General Matthews agreed
with Mr. Mangeot that the method of
funding the operation casts “a shadow
over this appropriation.”

If the University had paid cash for
the farm, or issued a bond issue for the
money, then the question of Maine
Chance would be whether the farm was
a wise purchase, said Mr. Mangeot.

“The big thing is to avoid hurting the
University,” said Mr. Mangeot, “whether
the farm is useful, as (Fayette County)
Judge Johnson says is none of our busi-
ness.

Five Questions

The LRC report raises five questions
of public policy or statutory authority:

0 Should an instrument of the Uni-
versity, such as the Foundation, be per-
mitted to accumulate earnings and use
them in a manner denied to the Univer-
sity?

0 Should (the University) have such
discretion or should its policies on ac-
quisition of lands be subject, as are
other state agencies. to approval of the
Department of Finance?

0 Should (the University) be em—
powered to purchase lands for experi-
mental agriculture use by mortgage on
such lands?

0 Should the University be specifically
permitted or denied the use of a founda-
tion by Statute?

0 Should (the Foundation) not be
regarded in a fashion that will produce
full disclosure of its funds to the Gen-
eral Assembly for appropriate considera-
tion in connection with budget requests?

‘Circumvemion' Shown

A presentation of the facts of the
matter, as determined by the LRC, show
the University to be circumventing
established channels in bidding for the
property.

Final reports on the purchase by the
Attorney General's Office are expected
by the closing date for the transaction
Oct. 31. Mr. Matthews agreed with Mr.
Mangeot that a report should be ready
by thattune.

“We asked Dr. Oswald to postpone
closing the purchase," said Mr. Man-
geot, “to close our investigation. He
didn't agree or disagree."

Mr. Mangeot summarized his position
by asking whether a short—range or long-
range settlement is more desirable for
the University. “I've no doubt that the
University acted in its best interests,"
he said, “but is it better to have the
farm now, or make the Legislature mad?"

Commenting on Fayette County Judge
Joe Johnson's claim that much tax
revenue would be lost by taking Maine
Chance off the tax rolls, Mr. Mangeot
said that he (Judge Johnson) has no
legal‘ responsibility to maintain the tax

rolls, but it would be to his advantage
to do so.

“The county administration was caught
with inadequate revenue," said Mr.
Mangeot.

UK ‘Big Industry’

It is on this last point that the at-
torney general and his officers differ
with the commonwealth administration.
Speaking as the governor's press secre-
tary, Don Mills said the University is
Lexington's fastest growing industry.

"I'here's no doubt," said Mr. Mills,
“that the property will be valuable in
adding to the tax rolls. Do you have any
idea how much money University stu-
dents spend in Lexington?”

The University will continue to grow,
said Mr. Mills, and use of the South
Farm will be taken up with future con—
struction. To maintain the University's
agricultural program, said Mr. Mills,

the University had to acquire more land,
especially when Coldstream was elim-
inated.

“lt's long-range planning,” he stated.

Governor Breathitt even suggested
that the “good name" of Maine Chance
be sold to Mr. Ellsworth and Mr. Pessin,
said Mr. Mills.

When given this opportunity, said the
Governor, Mr. Ell
