OFF TO A RUNNMQ START: University of Miami junior Army ROTC cadets prepare for their potential participation m the Middle Eastern conflict during a physical training test.

A primary concern on college campuses these days is the possible enactment of a military draft due to the United State’s involvement in the Middle East.
Most students, however, are not aware of what current regulations are concerning who will be drafted.
According to the department of Selective Service, in the event of a draft, which would have to be enacted by Congress, a number would be assigned to each birth date and a lottery held to determine the order in which the dates would be called.
Men who turn 20 in the year in which the draft ia instituted would be the first called to service. That is, if a draft is initiated before the end of this year, those men whose 20th birthdays were in 1990 would be the first called into service.
If a draft occurs in 1991, those whose 20th birthdays are in that year would be first called
After that, the order ia as follows; those turning 21. 22, 23, 24, 25,19 and then 18 years of age. Those 26 yean old and over are
j changed.
According to the agency, their plans would effect a mobilixation of 100,000 men within 30 days.

ko’s Copies may jeopardise a service that many pro-feasors take for granted: the ability to create a custom textbook.
The suit was filed m New York City by the Aasod-ation of American Publishers, which is representing the textbook companies.
Lawyers finished their opening arguments in October, and a decision in the case will come this spring.
The service "allows the professor to customise a packet to fit his class, opposed to a general view of the class,” Rosie Molina, Kinko’s University of Miami campus representative, said. "We copy and prepare it, and the student* buy it here at Kinko’s."
Textbook publishers claim Kinko’s Service Corporation has violated the Copyright Act of 1976 by printing many anthologies for professors who use them to supplement or replace textbook*.
The publishers claim to lose hundreds of thou-I dollars per year from their $2 million campus market.
Aa Kinko’s service booms and publisher’s sales decrease, publishers artificially raise the prices of books to compensate, a salesman with a major publishing company on the East Coast, Who refused to be identified, said. He wished to avoid the stigma that his company is going after Kinko’s.
"Custom textbooks are a thing of the future,” the salesman said.
According to him, his company is involved in a joint venture with another publishing company to investigate that possibility.
The ability to include in a textbook exactly what the professor deem* necessary is a mat« motivation for professors to create a custom text.
"I Custom designed exactly what I wanted student* to have,” David Fenner, a UM philosophy professor. said. “It’s a valuable service.
