" Graen River Community CollegE? January 16, 1981 Volume 16; No. 9 Uncle Sam subpo~eas males by Mauri Fagan When entering a post-office one may occasionally see a "Wanted" sign posted on the bulletin board. Today, one similar sign might read, "Wanted-AU men born in 1962 and 1963-signed, The Selective Service." The Selective Service registration was conducted last week at all United States Post Offices and all U.S. Embassies for required registrants living or visiting overseas. All men born in 1962 were required to register last week and were encouraged to attend on a day of the week keyed to the month of their birth. For example men born in January, February and March were to register on Monday. This system was used to help registrants avoid long lines. Men born in 1963 are required to register within 3;!da s of their 18th birthdays. According to t Selective Service, the registration necessary because one of the main ideas of the AllVolunteer Force concept was that the country should always maintain a standby Selective Service. After the conclusion of the draft in 1972, registration was continued until suspended in 1975. Over the years the capibilities of Selective Service steadily declined to a level, prompting another registration which began in November 1979. If a draft is reinstated, any man may request a postponement, deferment or exemption for one of the following reasons: 1) If he is a student in college, he may finish the semester; if a senior, he may finish the year. 2) If he is a high school student, he may stay in school until he graduates (up to age 20) 3) If his induction would create a hardship to his dependents, he may ask for a deferment. 4) If he is a student studying for the ministry, he may ask for a deferment. The Selective Service claims there are no plans at this time for a draft. A draft could not begin unless the Congress decides that it is needed. 5) If he is a minister of religion, he may request an exemption. 6) If he has a deeply-held religion, moral or ethical beliefs against participation in war in any form, he could request status as a conscientious objector, (one opposed to bearing arms). Men who would be most likely to be called in the event of a draft would be those who reach their 20th birthday in the calendar year of the draft. Others would be called as necessary. When the Times talks-P-1 listens by Mauri Fagan The Seattle Times and the Hearst Corp., publisher of the Seattle Post Intelligencer, will form a joint newspaper operation sharing business, advertising, and printing functions while maintaining separate news departments. The announcE:ment was made Tuesday. The main reason for the joint relationship is because the Seattle P-I was in probable financial danger and in order to keep two editorial voices within the community the business merger was agreed upon. Contacted by the associate editor of the Green River Current, J.A. Blethen, publisher of the Seattle Times informed that it is healthy for Seattle to remain a two newspaper city. According to the Seattle Times, there will be a host/tenant relationship. The Times will be the host and will take care of the soliciting ad advertising, publishing and the distribution of both papers. The P-1 (tenant) will do its own news gathering and writing of editorials.
