Editorial Campus Update, March 19, 1980, Page 2 Consciences oppose the draft President Carters’ recent proposal to reinstate military registration sparked the flame of controversy among the citizens of the United States. During his State oh the Union address last month, Carter announc- » ed his intentions of registering 19 and 20 year-old men and women, to begin this summer. Under the Selective Service System, the pres- ident has authority to restore the draft, but it is Congress who must approve the funds necessary for this request. Because women are included in Carters plans, it is doubtful that financing by ora will be endorsed. The United States would be the first in the nation’s history to draft women. Since he does not plan on using women in actual combat, we wonder what motivated the presi- dent to include females in the draft. Isn't he just using the issue to. gain/retain Support in this reelect- ion year? Besides the question of registering men is hi Militarism } apparent in the invasion of Afghanistan will result in a dead effort. There is fear that this draft will only encourage WW Il. This is not to say we ap- ‘prove of the Soviet Unions’ actions, but that we feel this is not the solution. War over oil is also an immoral issue. The reason we lost our Iran- ian access to oil was U.S. support “of the Shah. If we were to stop interfering-in the Middle East--main- _ tain a position of neutrality --we could gain access to the much-needed "oil. Those who believe military intervention will keep gas prices low must not forget the high cost of maintaining a large standing army. and the American lives lost through the cause. Apparently, loopholes will be non-existant in the new draft; no more instant college or marriages. a disqualification. Even the northern escape route to Canada seems closed Women can’t even claim gender as’ to us with the stringent immigra- tion policies imposed during the Viet Nam era, As the lesser of two evils, we will submit to registration and avoid the $10,000 fines and five year prison terms. Qur consciences say no to regis- tration, the draft, and to war. As: we drift back toward a cold war, any confrontation is tied to the possibility of nuclear war. With the registration for a draft comes the future of chemical confrontation and the extinction of life as we know it today. : Campus Strip by John Holcomb Hey, Bartan: T see Ummm,Right, Could ome TDs sare Gulp!
