Dr. Ginger

Dr. Lyman Ginger, dean of
the UK College of Education,
spoke to about 700 teachers yesterday morning at Lafayette Senior High on the professional
sanctions that can be levied
against school systems by the
National Education Association.

Ginger, a member of theNEA
commission that imposes sanctions, told the educators, "We
are working in a wholesome climate in Kentucky. The General
Assembly is in sympathy with
you and the community is behind us."
Dr. Ginger
advised
the
teachers not to become emotional
in dealing with the problem of
staneducational
improving
dards . He urged them to be professional and "support the code
of ethics published by theNEA."
If sanctions are levied, placement bureaus are notified around
the country and teachers wanting
to leave the stricken state are
aided in finding employment
elsewhere.
Dr. Ginger explained sanctions as they had affected Utah
and Oklahoma. "In Oklahoma,
very close to 1,000 teachers moved
from the state. Everyone who
asked to be placed elsewhere
was moved and into better positions than they held in Okla-

homa."

As far as damage to a state
after sanctions have been imposed, Dr. Ginger said, "It can't
be assessed in terms of dollars
and cents. However, schools do
more to help a state's economy
than any other group."

Ginger emphasized that sanctions did not amount to the
same thing as a strike, "just
as this protest day today is not
a strike. The NEA is radically
opposed to strikes, picketing and

the like."

M ICHIGAN AND

THE DRAFT;

Official Refuses To Recommend Classification Changes
The Collegiate Press Service
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Col. Arthur Holmes,
director of the Michigan Selective Service,
has said he would make no recommendations
for changes in draft classifications of the
University of Michigan students who have
lost their student deferments after a sit-i- n
aimed against the war in Vietnam.
Col. Holmes made his statement after it
became known that the 13th student had
been given a IA draft classification by his
local board after letters had been sent to the
boards of all those who demonstrated at
the Ann Arbor Selective Service office last
October.

In a letter last week to The Nation

are not new,
Such reclassifications
Hershey insisted, nor were the students
reclassified simply because they protested
against the war in Vietnam. Hershey said
they were reclassified because "by their
sit-i- n
at a local board they interfered with
the administration of the Selective Service
law" and "such action is prohibited by the
Selective Service law."
Over the years, he said, similar reclassifications have been made of men who failed
to register, failed to keep boards informed
of their address or change of status, failed
n,

to report for physical examination, or
destroyed their draft cards.
As evidence that their political views
were not the basis for "punishment," Hershey
cited a fall demonstration in front of the
Washington, D.C. Selective Service headquarters. "There was no thought of reporting
these young people to their draft boards,"
he said, "because their protest was peaceful
and legal, with no effort made on their part
to interfere with the normal conduct of
business in the headquarters."
Hershey said he had not read Vinson's
letter to Hart but "I don't think he said
anything to the contrary."
"The fine point," Hershey said, "is that
reclassification
is not punishment." In
previous statements Hershey has said the
draft is an "obligation and a duty" and that
a deferment is a "service to the country,
not the student. When it no longer serves
the national interest to defer a student,
then we reclassify him."

Let The University Choose
partially successful attempts at sending liberal arts students to Vietnam last year, the
Selective Service apparently is
planning a change of tactics:
Rather than tell a student his field
of study isn't in "the national interest," why not just give him a
test that he may well flunk if he
isn't up on math and science?
While details of the test have
not yet been disclosed, it is said
to be patterned after those given
in the Korean War, which were
supposedly weighted heavily in
favor of mathematics and science
students.
The test scores should be offset, Selective Service officials
claim, by an equal emphasis on
class standings.
Yet, it will be the "autonomous" local board that uses this
data (and anything else it wishes)
to reach a final decision on a student's deferment. In many cases;
After

the local board will be presented
with the low test scores of someone who docs not happen to be
majoring in nuclear engineering.
Although perhaps advised to judge
by a combination of both test
scores and class standings, this
local board is, as Selective Service
officials have pointed out, "autonomous." Some boards will undoubtedly reach logical decisions. But
considerable doubt has been raised
that other local boards, particularly in small towns, possess the
competency to be "autonomous."
In Monday's Kernel draft article, Col. Everette S. Stephenson,
State Selective director, said that
if he were on a local board presented with one student who had
taken the test and another who
refused, he would draft the one who
refused the "voluntary" test. The
test was for the student's protection, he claimed. Considerably
more "protection" may be needed
against the "autonomous local

TdeKA

board."
That extra protection may have

been suggested by Col. Stephenson
himself, when he said, "It would
be much simpler if the University
would tell us whom to take, but
they do not want to do that."
Why not?
Surely, most University men
would rather be judged by the
University than by some local
board, eager to fill hungry draft
quotas with college students in
"impractical" curricula or participating in "unpopular" protests.
The brightest hope for these
students came from the highest
University office Monday. President John W. Oswald then said
he favored equal consideration for
students in all fields of study not
just science and mathematics.
It is encouraging to find support
at that level. Perhaps we can hope
for more of it in the future.

the big need is for communities to

it is highly important that the aid

which goes to white colleges.) They
will see also the equal importance

LITTLE

OjE0 Brushes Up Its Lobby
WASHINGTON-Hruis-

itl
and l,lt.I inir from
attacks in Congress, Sargent Shrivcr's
War on Poverty lias devised a "legislative strategy
aimed at maximizing chances for success" on Capitol Hill. Madison Avenue would envy it.
The strategy was submitted last week to Shriver,
Director of the Office of Economic Opportunity
memorandum.
(OEO bi a confidential four-pag- e
Author of the memo is William G. Phillips, a
and veteran staffer on Capitol Hill who
has just taken over as OEO's lobbyist.
The memo says nothing about the substance of
complaints from both Republicans and Democrats
over the poverty program's inconsistencies and inefficiencies. Rather, it implies that selling Congressmen Phillips's new job is a matter of technique.
One technique suggests that the quickest way to
a Congressman's heart is through his newspaper.
"Issues, as they develop on the Hill, will be
reflected in the press. In turn, press coverage will
affect the thinking of individual M.C.'s (Members
of Congress). Sophisticated press relations can make
a substantial contribution to Congressional relations. In addition, much care must be exercised
in the preparation of public statements by senior
staff members in Washington and in the field."
One such issue, forecasts the memo, is a "general attack on administration of the program" and
a "call for (an' investigation." Leaving little to the
imagination, rt carefully identifies the sharpest
critics (Republicans all): Jacob Javits of New York
in the Senate, and William Ayres of Ohio, Albert
Quie of Minnesota, and Charles Goodell of New
York in the House.
Beyond that, the memo educates the top OEO
brass on the quirks of individual Congressmen.
Phillips has supplied Shriver a top secret notebook
which "reflects the best intelligence available . . .
in the voting patterns, interests, attitudes, and
complaints of individual M.C.'s."
Erroneously, however, the memo suggests that
if only OEO would be nicer to Congressmen the
nasty old critics would disappear. Thus, Phillips

recommends "dramatic improvement in service to
Congress to consolidate friendships and, wherever
possible, to ameliorate enemies."
Take the matter of announcing OEO grants.
The memo suggests that Congressmen might even
vote against money for poverty if they arc beaten
to the punch in announcing a Federal handout.
Phillips lays down the law to OEO regional
offices: "'Leaks' of grant awards, etc., . . .cannot
be tolerated the loss of announcement priority in
one case can cost one or inorevoteson OEO legislation. All announcements will be made by CR
(Congressional Relations), with no exceptions tol-

well-respect-

erated."

Phillips appears to believe the regional offices

-

haven't been responsive to Congressional whims
and wishes. "Only Atlanta, Chicago, and Kansas

City have appointed a staff member to handle our
inquiries for Members (of Congress)," the memo
reveals. The other regional offices are told to get
cracking: "Immediate response is essential."
In Washington, however, the memo reveals there
is little rationing of time or money to dress up the
OEO presentation to Congress. An "ad hoc committee on legislation . . . has been at work for
several weeks" to get things ready for the few days
of hearings. By Feb. 15 ("preparedness date") the
committee is to complctc"thedctailcd, illustrated,
printed Congressional presentation" of undetermined cost that every OEO witness will have at
his fingertips when he testifies.
Just how eager OEO is to mend its fences on
Capitol Hill is revealed by this statement: "It is
not excessive to state that no work has more importance during the current session than that work
which support's OEO's position on the Hill"
that is, the care and feeding of Congressmen.
It's possible some Congressmen will be flattered
by this sort of spoonfeeding. Yet, the critics singled
out by the Phillips memo Javits, Ayres, Quie, and
Goodell are really more concerned about OEO's
living up to its original high expectation than in
first call
