6- THE TIMBER-CRUISER, Friday, May 20, 1966 Draft Test Mix-Up Tangles Students .Hundreds of Michigan students caught in a massive draft defer- ment test mix • up were advised by Col. Arthur Holmes Monday to request test reassignments. Holmes, State Selective Ser- vice Director, said Michigan stu- dents have been ordered to take the test as far away as Massa- chusetts and Mississippi. T h e tests began May 14, 1966. The assignments were made by Science Research Associates, a Chicago firm hired by the Selec- tive Service Headquarters in Washington to administer the tests. He suggested that students who were assigned to tests more than 30 to 40 miles from where they are living return their cards and ask for reasonable sites. Holmes said, his office has re- cei ved at least 1000 calls from students complaining about sites. The tests are scheduled May 14, May 21, and June 3. Another date has been set for June 24 for those who requested reassign- ments. The tests are one criterion lo- cal draft boards may use in de• termiming the draft status of students. Holmes said, a score of 70 or .more will give the board the option of continuing a student deferment. The tests are now being held at hundreds of campuses throughout the nation.

Gail Ayling ----------- CANDID SHOTS Mr. Richards Speaks at Convocation Richardson Syks For Rebound Students Transfer To 4 Year College The 1965 • 66 academic year Is coming to an end. The Sopho- mores as well as some freshmen at ACC are faced with the ever- so - important problems of trans- fering to a four • year institu- ti.on. Mr. Ritter, Director of Admis- sions at Alpena Community Col- lege released and classified the following statements concerning his office's role in the transfer of every student from ACC to any other college. He stated that the first step a student must take, is to acquire the nessary application forms. Application blanks for most col• leges in Michigan are available in the office. After the student fills it out he then returns it to the office. The second step, explained Mr. Ritter, is the careful examina- tion of the application by the Di- rector of Admissions office. All of the student's high school and college grades are then record• ed and sent to the desired col- lege or colleges. Mr. Ritter stres- sed the point that it is• the policy to require that transfering stu- dents must maintain a C or bet- ter average. - The area in which the stu- dent might :Dind himself- in trou- ble is that of a violation or mis- demeanor that wouid affect his character references. T h e s e might occur on account of dis- truction of school or personal property, stealing, violation of housing rules and regulations, continuous parking infractions, and ~inking. It's a person who continues to violate these rules constantly week after week who will be in trouble. After the foregoing procequres ani'l s eps nave been taken, the form is sent in, and the student waits for his notification of ac- ceptance or rejection by the uni• versity of his choice. Lawmaker Held On Misdemeanor A state Representative last week was involved in an acci- dent which brought out the fact that he had no :liability insur- ance and had not paid the $35 fee required by the state for an uninsured motorists fund. Edward Michalski stated that he didn't know about the law but that he would pay the $35 fee within the required four days to _prevent his auto license from being revoked. Lawrence Carroll, who admi- nisters the uninsured motorist fund, stated that Michalski could not a void prosecution for a mis- demeanor (failure to pay $35 in lieu of liability insurance) by paying the fee now .. Michalski introduced a b i 11 early this year which would have kept driving records a secret. Another interesting fact is this incident is that Michalski's wife managers a branch office of the Secretary of State in Detroit. The problem which arises from examples such as this and from incidents like judges who are arrested for income tax evasion is that they make a mockery of the American judicial and legis- lative systems: When those in- - dividuals whose role it is to make and enforce laws for the im- provement and internal safety of our nation fail to comply by such laws, what reason can be given to the ordinary taxpayer for abiding by the law? - 1'heodore Bugg Shaipely limbs helip many girl to bra,nc,h out.

Because of the strike, the date and the time of hte cere- monies will be given at a later date. Congress To Force Auto Safety Change The automobile industry h a s recently been under the attack of a Congressional investigation of automobile safety features. Various solutions to curb t h e alarming death rate on the na- tion's highways have been sug- gested in the past few weeks. General Motors Corp, has been the center of much criti• cismotese e eso their automobiles. Under- attack are the Corvair, for a poor sta- bility condition, and the 1961 Tempest, for a front frame de- sign which permits this car to hang up on railroad tracks. Since the investigation b e g an G.M. and other a u to m o bi I e manufacturers have begun re- calling scores of their models to correct conditions which may be detrimental to the safety of the passengers. Faults on t h e automobiles called back ranged from sticking accelerators to de- fective brakes. Some of the major companies tried impressing the buying pub- lic with safety features several years ago. The majority of· the public has remained interested mainly in speed, style, and comfort in their selection of new automobiles. One example of an auto safe- ty advertising campaign is that of the Ford Motor Co. in 1955. 56. At that time Ford conduct- ed a massive advertising pro• gram featuring such innovations as safety door locks, s a f e t y rims, recessed - center steer• ing wheels, padded dashboards and sunvisors, and seat belts. Because of a lack of public re- sponse, Ford dropped th e i r safety campaign. They did, however, retain many of their safety features. Since public demand has not been sufficient to force manu- facturers to maintain a steady improvement in safety design, Congress has decided to pass legislation to bring about man- datory safety features in future production. Some of the new ideas now being expressed are a collapsible steering column, shatter • proof rear - view mir- rors, and soft • metal instru- ment panels. -Theodore Bugg A.C.C. Annual Picnic Swang Good
