              New Lottery Applies to Men Born In S3
By TONY PASSARELLO

When President Nixon’s first selective service lottery was held three years ago, UM’s 19-year-olds spent the next week with signs bearing their lottery numbers pinned onto their shirts.
As American involvement in the Vietnam war “winds down,” and election day draws closer, the lottery seems not to have raised too many eyebrows on the UM campus. The attitude seemed the same in front of the Commerce Department auditorium, where there were no protestors for the first time in the lottery’s history.
This year’s draft lottery applies to UM men born in 1953.
Number 1 was paired with March 6, Number 2 with March 7, and Number 3 to August 3 as capsules bearing dates and numbers were drawn and matched at random.
Draft Director Curtis W. Tarr has stated that there is, right now, no set draft call for 1973, when men from this lottery will become eligible for induction. This lottery contains over two million men.
While men with the high numbers 365 for July 23, and number 364 for September 9 probably have very few draft worries. Selective service officials indicated that the limit on draftable numbers will probably fall far below the 125 figure used last year.
The Nixon administration hopes to end the lottery with
the creation of an all-volunteer army by the target date of June 30, 1973, the date on which the current draft law expires. General unemployment, in addition to one recent and one projected pay raise for enlisted men in the armed forces, is expected to help end the military’s dependence upon forced conscription.
“It’s hard to give any general advice for men with low lottery numbers,” Matt Baloff, UM Law School graduate, said. “It depends mostly upon whether or not the individual wants to go into the service. If he doesn’t, it depends upon what his alternatives, such as physical deferments, may be, and to what lengths he is willing to go to get out of being drafted.”
The “II-S” student deferment will not be one alternative for incoming Miami freshmen.
“Membership in certain churches is extremely beneficial in obtaining a deferment as a conscientious objector,” Baloff said. “Practicing members of the Jehovah’s Witnesses, and the Quakers have had little difficulty establishing sufficient grounds for such deferments.”
Most attorneys are qualified to handle basic draft counselling. A UM draft counselling service is available on campus at 284-6340. Draft counselling referral is offered by The Open Door, apartment 49-K, 284-2300, and free counselling, particularly for those seeking a deferment for conscientious objection, is available through the American Friends Service Committee 443-9836.
“The most important thing,” Baloff said, “is to seek counsel immediately if you are attempting to secure a deferment. Delay cannot help you.”

Despite Good Security Crime Still Thrives
This is the first in n series of articles by the Hurricane denting with crime and security at l tf. The series will hopefully five a better understanding of where l!M finds itself in Miami's crime spectrum.

The City Beautiful. Although not the largest city in America and only number two in professional football, Miami has no peer in one area. That area is crime.
Like most metropolitan areas with high crime rates, the incidences of crime here greatly vary from one section to another.
The resident of Liberty City doesn’t become unsettled when a murder, rape, or robbery occurs on his block. A homeowner in Gables Estates panics when he discovers toilet paper strewn across his lawn the morning after Halloween.
Where does UM find itself in Miami’s crime spectrum?
One aspect of UM’s security and the University community becomes apparent immediately. People do not feel safe at UM.
In a survey taken of UM students last semester, only 32% said they felt safe from personal harm, robbery, and theft while on campus. This is a surprising statistic when a few factors are considered.
Violent crimes are almost nonexistent at UM. There has only been one rape in the last two years and there has never been a murder.
Also, what crime does occur on campus is rarely publicized. Last semester the largest crimes appearing in the pages of the Hurricane dealt with an armed robbery of two girls, and thefts in the Lowe Art Museum and Mahoney Hall.
Obviously the crime rate on campus doesn’t warrant 68% of the University community feeling unsafe on campus.
One answer for our paranoia could be the general feeling about crime in America as a whole. Between banner headlines, FBI reports, and politicians, one almost expects a mugger behind any corner.
The rationale becomes something like “If you can be mugged standing outside the White House why can’t you be mugged standing outside the Ashe Building?”
The answer is that you can be mugged outside the Ashe Building — or robbed, raped, or murdered.
UM is vudnerable. Although this is a private institution, the campus is “open.” Anyone from outside UM can roam unchallenged across campus, into dorms, and into classroom buildings.
Probably the most frustrating aspect when dealing with an area such as a campus is its inability to stop the sensational crime.

Venereal disease has reached epidemic proportion at UM. It is at it’s peak now due to the period between semesters. Apparently students go away from the University and bring it back with them.
“This is a resort area and a port area, with large airports and a large seaport. In surroundings such as these VD thrives. This is true anywhere there is a large transient population.
“What makes it worse is the fact that there have been reports of prostitutes coming from the beach and infecting
students on campus,” a UM staff physician who wishes to remain anonymous said.
Dr. X said that if a student thought that he or she had contracted a venereal disease such as: gonorrhea, syphilis, or chancroid should report it immediately to the health center, regardless of the time, day or night.
“If the student does not want to avail himself of our free services due to embarrassment or other reasons he can use the free services of the Dade County health center. They have a VD hotline, which Is in attendance day or night. Everyone should bear in mind that it is a criminal offense to fall to report any incidence of VD,” Dr. X said.
Dr. X said that any case of VD can be cured if the patient receives the proper treatment and receives it before it has advanced too far.
“All too often this is not the case and the victim tries to cure himself or goes to a friend who says he knows a

Youth Coalition Supports
Muskie For President

Students Endorse Muskie At Meeting
... will begin canvassing efforts

The first organized youth coalition in the state of Florida gathered last Friday to announce their support for Senator Edmund Muskie for President.
Organized under the direction of Dennis Richard, past Student Body Government president at UM, and Lanny J. Davis, national youth coordinator for the campaign, the conference was noted as the first successful political youth gathering in the history of Florida.
“As we all know,” Richard said, “you have to yell louder outside for those inside to hear you. We intend our collective voice to be heard.”
Assembled at the meeting, were high school and college student leaders who were present to endorse Muskie for themselves and were not representative of their schools.
Among those present were Howard Zus-man, treasurer of UM’s Student Body Government, Mary Kollmeyer, managing editor of the Barry College student paper and Nancy Gilmartin co-editor of the Coral Gables High newspaper, along with other editors, school presidents and school co-ordina-tors.
“I am confident that with the show of strength that is obvious here today,” Davis said in reference to the students present, "we will have the organization and drive necessary to insure a large turnout of young
voters for Senator Muskie on March 14.”
The youth coalition said they would conduct a door to door canvass of local colleges and high schools to increase the already strong student support for the Senator and then expand to assist in canvassing efforts in other areas of the community before the March 14 primary.
After the meeting had been concluded and plans for a Muskie gathering were being announced, a man, later identified as Oran Lindquist, stood and challenged Davis to a public debate “here and now.”
After Davis explained that the students had to return to their classes at the high schools and it would be impossible to debate at this time, Lindquist offered debate at another time.
A member of the People’s Party, Lindquist was allowed to speak for a short time anyway because as Davis put it, “I believe everyone should have a fair chance to express their views, and I realize that these people may not find the press as accessible as the other candidates and Muskie do.”
Lindquist exchanged numbers with Davis and a public debate will be set up for the next time Davis is in town.
All in all, Davis and Richard feel the meeting of Florida’s youth coalition was a definite success, and would be of great impact for their cause.
