Non-Legal Aids

Counselors are not in the
strict sense legal aids, but
knowledgeable people in the
field of the draft. In situations
where legal advice is needed,
they counsel the inquirer to
seek out a lawyer. A number of
the counselors are Ministers or
Priests from the various
parishes, some are graduate
students, and a number of
them are undergraduates. All
of them have received the same
training.

The culmination of this
fall's training program is the
visit of David Maynard, who is
the Youth director for the
American Friends Service
Committee. Mr. Maynard has
been in the counseling program
for five years and is considered
to be one of the top authorities
in the field.

On Tuesday and Wednesday
evenings of this week the draft
counselors will receive their
advanced training from Mr.
Maynard. Wednesday he will be
available to students from 9-12
in the morning for individual
counseling in room 4B of
Newcomb Hall. From 3-5 that
afternoon Mr. Maynard will
hold an open discussion on the
Draft and its implications for
the future of America in the
South Meeting Room of
Newcomb Hall.
