he felt a group of draft-age students
given an active part in the power
structure would add a valuable
perspective to the examination of
the draft system.

members decided their work would
consist of researching both the
present draft and the proposed
lottery system and then of making
initial suggestions In the near
future, there will be a national
meeting of all state committee
members.

Daily staff, Charles Sands has been
promoted to Monday Edition Editor.
