/ “I think any attempt to imple
ment both Selective Service and
UMT, sorting now, is ridiculous,”
Andrews told reporters. "It is ut
terly; foolish and opt of the ques
tion.
Andrews is sponsoring a bill
to (terminate the draft in two
yeai-s, and he said i universal
training should then go into ef
fect automatically 90 days after
the end of the draft.
The original “compromise” idea
on universal training was (hat 18-
yeaiiolds should have six mpnths
of training to be followed by ser
vice: in the national guard or some
other active, organized civilian re
serve. J j [: ■ ■ f ' ..
But some officials contend now
that, a man with only six months
trailing would be of little value
in a military unit and that his
minimum time should be at least
one [year.
The draft and training propos
als are tied in closely with the con
troversy over how large the Air
Force should be. Some pir men

Will Exhibit Lie

Habitual liars who do not wish
to be “found out? had better steer
clear of the Physics I Building on
Agricultpre-Engineer Bay, May 8.
The lie detector, which was dis
played for the first time in 1947,
will stage a repeat performance
this year. According to J. G'. Pet-
ter, head qf thg physios depart
ment, the machine has undergone
a few minor improvements which
should make it a greater success
than last year.
Based on the principle of the
Wheatstone Bridge, the machine
utilizes two electrodes plaCfed
across the palm of the subject.
Under emotional strain, the vic
tim’s resistance will vary, and reg

The detector will be demortstra-
ted by Byron Kilpatrick, a grad
uate physics student from Waco.
The lie detector should be the
greatest exhibition that the phy
sics department has this year,
Kilpatrick said.
Rotter pointed out that the de
tector has unlimited possibilities.
As an example he cited a test
made last year. A young lady was
being tested when she w&B sur
prised with a kiss from her hus
band. The needle on the galvono-
mCter went completely off scale!
