Until recently, college men, husbands, and fathers had good
reason to believe that they were safe from letters of greeting from
Uncle Sam. However, with the increasing commitment of American
forces in Vietnam this year, even fatherhood may not guarantee
draft exemption. And those who have comfortably remained 4-F
for years have just been informed that they will soon be re-called
for physical examinations.
THE DRAFT AND THE VIETNAM WAR by Jacquin Sanders
($3.95 cloth, $1.95 paper) appears at a time when the need for clari
fication of the draft system is at its height. In this book, which
Walker and Company will publish Nov. 15, Sanders, top national
affairs reporter for Newsweek magazine, examines the selective
service system’s quotas, classifications, and deferments.
Sanders, who wrote Newsweek’s cover story on the draft, has
written the most comprehensive and up-to-date examination of today’s
draft process now available. He tells who is eligible for the draft
and for deferment, describes the physical and mental tests admin
istered, examines the protest movement, and discusses possible al
ternatives to the present system with its many inherent iniquities.

with Bob Borders
by BARNEY FUDGE
Student Senate President
The Senate is checking the pos
sibilities of reviving an old tradi
tion. The Twelfth Man Bowl has
received enough new vitality to
start kicking again.
If this game, matching the
Corps and the civilians, can be
played, there are several good
points that could be accrued by
Texas A&M.
First, the old high school heroes
would have a chance to show off
again. Also, and more impor
tantly, if the game is run effi
ciently and receives the support
of the student body, a consider
able athletic scholarship fund
could be set up.
Such a fund would give us a
little more capital with which to
recruit athletes. Then, too, you
never can tell when the next John
David Crow will pop out of no
where.
“The Pad and How to Use It’’
cannot decide whether to be seri
ous or funny, and it ends up be
ing a major disappointment.
The story concerns a classical
music lover, or rather a classical
music fanatic. This young man
lives, eats, and even dreams
Bach, and is such a social vege
table that he has never had a
date. No, your bloodshot Friday-
aftemoon eyes aren’t deceiving
you, I said never.
The poor guy has obviously
been raised in a monastary high
in the Himalayan Mountains.
As the movie opens, he is deep
in dreamland, not only conduct
ing a symphony orchestra, but
also playing most of the instru
ments.
The alarm clocks bring him
out of his trance, and he returns
to the real world of run-down
apartments, shared bathrooms,
and his one true friend, his
stereo, which he feeds every
morning.
After a dreary workday, he
goes to a concert, where he pours
orangeade all over the girl sit
ting in front of him. Naturally
he makes a date with her the
next night for dinner.
After he sees her to the bus,
he is brought down from his ec
static frenzy of splashing in pud
dles, swinging from trees, and
generally making a fool of him
self, with the tragic realization
that he has never had a date,
and doesn’t know what to do on
one.
To the rescue comes his loyal
but worldly friend, who unfor
tunately is more worldly than
loyal.
Of course the friend ends up
with the girl, and the hero ends
up with his stereo, which he de
serves, believe me.
It probably would have been
better if they had devoted more
time to background material, giv
ing the moviegoer some idea of
what was happening, and what
kind of guy the hero was.
Instead he is thrust upon you
fully grown, with no apparent
reasons for all his peculiarities,
and you find yourself wondering
—why is he doing that, or what
did he mean by that?
Most will agree that the best
scene occurs when the hero is
finally alone with the girl and
he tries to get up the courage to
hold her hand. You’ll probably
see yourself here. He finally
reaches his goal, but then the
whole thing becomes unglued as
he goes completely out of char
acter.
An echo of my fellow movie
goers' sentiments is probably ap
propriate. Sssssssss.
The most worthwhile thing of
the whole experience is the car
toon.
The coyote is up to his old
tricks again, trying to catch a
road-runner dinner. At least
most Aggies can identify k
the coyote.
