Cliffies Dislike Present Draft, Poll Discloses

Cliffies dislike the present Selctive Service System even more than Harvard students do.

Forty-three per cent of Radcliffe responded to a draft referendum distributed last Monday by the Radcliffe Government Association. The poll was the same as the one taken two weeks ago by the Harvard Undergraduate Council. The HUC poll also received a 43 per cent response.

Eighty-eight per cent of the Cliffies said that the Selective Service should not compel universities to compute rank-in-class for them. At Harvard, that was the opinion of 72 per cent.

Not Satisfied

Only six per cent of the Radcliffe students (19 per cent of Harvard) were fully satisfied with the Selective Service System as it stands now.

Eighty-four per cent of the Cliffies and 79 per cent of the Johnnies rejected the idea of a national lottery. Instead, two-thirds of both groups favored continuing the present 2-S deferment for students.

Universial conscription with a provision for non-military alternatives was supported by 64 per cent of Radcliffe and about half of Harvard.

Both groups considered something like Peace Corps service to be a satisfactory fulfillment of their nation obligation.
