Many Central students may be standing in
lines in the near future and they won't be a drop
and add lines, but draft registration lines.
In his State of the Union address to Congress
Wednesday night, President Jimmy Carter
announced he was submitting legislation to
Congress next month to revive draft registration,.
Carter's  proposal  came  as  a  response   to
military unrest in Iran and Afghanistan.
Presently, Carter only has announced plans for
registration and not the draft.
"I hope that it will not become necessary to re-
impose the draft," Carter said in his address.
"Howeyer, we must be prepared for that
possibility,"
Anticipation of a possible draft was heightened
when Carter announced the Administration's
policy towards the Middle East.
"Let our position be absolutely clear. An attempt by any outside force to gain control of the
Persian Gulf region will be regarded as an assult
on the vital interests of the United States of
America," he said. "Such an assult will be
repelled by any means necessary, including
military force." " .       ,    i
Maj. Rod Huffman, professor of military
science, approved of^ the re'instatement of
registration, saying ajS of lasfyear Russian army
divisions outnumber U.S. army, divisions over 10
tol.
Though other factors contribute to overall
military power, Huffman said it is important the
United States be prepared.
"Right now all our volunteer forces are sufficient, but they may not be in a time of conflict,"
he said. "Large scale war has a high consumption
rate of people and materials. We need a system to
turn to."
The system to turn to, draft registration, has
lain dormant for four and one-half years. According to the Associated Press, the Selective
Service System estimated it would cost from $16
million   to  $47   million   a   year   to   reinstate

UC deficit may increase tuition rate
byTOMMcEACHIN
LIFE News Editor
Tuition rates may increase 50
cents per credit hour next year
to offset the operating deficit of
the University Center.
That increase would be in
addition to the $2 to $2.50 tuition
increase already proposed for
next semester, and could push
tuition rates as high as $31.50
per credit hour.
Jerry Quick, assistant vice
president for Residences and
Auxiliary Services, sent a
proposal to University officials-
this week, asking for an additional tuition charge for the
operation of the UC.
The operating deficit of the
UC is currently made up from
money    generated    by    dorm
SA 's proposal
hopes to solve
dorm crowding
byKRISPIOCH
LIFE Staff Writer
After a heated debate, Student Association's Board of Directors
Wednesday passed a three—point resolution concerning dorm
overcrowding which includes discontinuation of the policy requiring
freshmen to live in dorms.
This resolution also calls for an expanded occupancy limit of no
more than 10 percent of dorm rooms campus-wide be adopted
starting Fall Semester 1980. It also asks housing to relax the
criteria for students desiring to break their dorm contract whether
or not they are in an expanded occupancy room.
Expanded occupancy is when an extra person is assigned to a
dorm room, such as five people living in a room intended for four
people.
Student Body President Jim Krzeminski will take the resolution
to Jerry Quick, assistant vice president of residences and auxiliary
services. After discussing the resolution with Quick, it will go to the
President's Council, and from there the resolution will go to the
Board of Trustees,
As a guideline for its recommendations, SA used a paper written
by Ed Johengen, Mount Pleasant junior. Johengen suggested five
points that SA adopt to take to the Board of Trustees.
With almost an even vote,. SA defeated one point which called for
(See "Dorms"—page 11)
residents through their room
and board payments.
"The building -does not
support itself so we end up
supporting it with other
residence and auxiliary service
funds," Quick said.
Rather than have only dorm
residents pay for the operating
deficit, the proposal would have
all students pay, in the form of a
tuition increase.
However, Arthur Ellis, vice
president for public affairs, said
he is skeptical such a proposal
would come about.
"You can't isolate the UC and
say 'this is a problem.' You have
to look at the whole problem,"
he said.
The "whole problem" is an
overlapping between services
provided by a department, and
which departments pay for that
service, he said.
Ellis said only some people
may be footing the costs for
services provided to everyone in
one area, but the situation may
be reversed in other areas.
Therefore, Ellis is against a
tuition increase to offset the UC
deficit.
"The chances of that happening are slim and none," Ellis
added.
The proposal was sent by
Quick to Jerry Tubbs, vice
president for Business and
Finance, and James Hill, vice
president for Student Affairs.
Quick declined to comment on
the proposal, and neither Hill
nor Tubbs were available for
comment Thursday.

It's bad enough when students have to brave the cold
first thing in the morning to get to that early class but
venturing out only to find that the class is canceled
makes the walk home even more miserable. Sheila
Anderson, Tecumseh senior, decided to skip that walk
back home and instead got a bit more sleep while waiting
for her next class to start in Anspach Hall.
Krzeminski opposes project
SA director plans city commissioner's recall
by JAMES 1SELER
LIFE Staff Writer
Although one department director within
Student Association said he would, like to take on
city hall this semester, Student Body President
Jim Krzeminski does not want to do so.
Legislative Affairs Director Bill Fisher said
Wednesday that one of his department's projects
for this semester is to institute a recall-of City
Commissioner Carol Scherer.
Scherer's support of an ordinance that would
ban commuter parking north of campus is the
major issue, prompting action, Fisher, Grand
Rapids senior, said.
Such a.measure/'would not hold much water",
according to Krezeminski, Grand Rapids junior.

When contacted Thursday, Krzeminski said
Fisher had mentioned the idea but thought he
was kidding.
,4 He' just said it in passing. I thought he was
jofong," Krzeminski said*.
Krzeminski said he would be against a move by
SA to start a recall for a couple of reasons.
SA now is organizing a voter registration drive
and is asking the city to help set it up, A move to
oust a city commissioner could only hurt the
drive,'he said.
"It would be a real problem down here to get
city hall to help with the registration drive if we
tried that," Krzeminski said.
He added such a move could also possibly hurt
any present support on the commission for the
student's opposition to the parking ordinance.
