The Committee for Informed Young Americans, a private group who have extensively researched the Selective Service Act, has discovered "how difficult it is for anyone to find any information concerning alternatives ‘to being classified' ‘I A' ."

The committee states "the draft commands compliance to its rules without telling everyone concerned what all those rules are. It is entitled to compliance but not through ignorance of those affected. We discovered how little is known about the draft law and how difficult it is to find any information and decided something had to be done.

We have spent months researching the law and have found a lot of facts that are not generally known outside the Selective Service Headquarters."

required to register for the draft.

2. if you are not required to

register and volunteer, you will

be registered without being told

draft laws.

occupation" subject to deferment,

other "critical occupations",

5. The government does not

give out copies of the law to

the public.

6. There are two "services"

which fulfill your military obligation besides the Army, Navy, Coast Guard, Marines and the Air Force.

7. If you are scheduled for induction there are many postponements available.

8. It is possible to appeal classifications to the President.

9. There are 22 other classifications available besides ‘I A".

10. The American Council On

Education says: "Enrollment

in the first two years of graduate

and professional schools next

fall will be limited to women,

veterans, men physically disqualified and those over the age of 25."

According to a letter from Francis B. Doran, Chairman of the committee, they "do not share the political views of any person who has recently been indicated for opposing the draft system. Their theatrics do nothing for the fellow who is scheduled to be classified 'I A'. It is not our desire to make headlines but to share our sources of information."

The committee provides a free service for students who send a brief resume of facts pertinent to their classification, this clipping, and a self-addressed, stamped envelope:  The Committee For Informed Young  Americans, Friendship Station, Box 5568, Washington, D.C., 20007.
