Buckley Justifies U.S. draft
byDANGUIDO
LIFE Staff Writer
If the draft becomes necessary to safeguard the sovereignty of
the United States, then it is a legitimate exercise of government
power, conservative William F. Buckley said Monday in Bush
Theatre.
"It is becoming evident that one cannot purchase on the free
market the necessary resources in reserves in order to maintain the
global balance of power," Buckley said, referring to the present day
volunteer army.
"The safety of the people is the supreme law" Buckley said.
"Even the freest society in the world, Switzerland, practices conscription."
Buckley spoke before a standing room only crowd of 600 people,
many of whom sat in the lobby of the theatre and listened to
Buckley's speech through a public address system.
Buckley spoke on "America in Perspective, the Problems of
Freedom," and was the second and final speaker of the Charles L.
Anspach Platform series, sponsored by University Events.
Buckley lambasted the American system of taxing capital gains
and individual income, saying it is time the "politics of reality" made
headway into the redistribution method of taxation.
"Conservatism is the politics of reality," Buckley said. "There is
an increasing popular knowledge of the unrealities of progressive
economics.

Grawn site of faculty survey
by TOM HENRY
LIFE Staff Writer
Students enrolled in business
classes this semester can expect
to participate in Student
Association's first faculty
evaluation project next week.
Student Body President Jim
Marshall said SA has contacted
one student from every School
of Business Administration class
section to help distribute the
survey to the class after final
exams are completed.
• The evaluations will later be
collected by SA members.
Results will then be compiled in
a    comprehensive    booklet,
"The whole idea of a student-run
evaluation is to use students' own
questions."—Student Body President Jim
Marshall
Marshall, Chalevoix senior, said.
The evaluations were
developed "to find out students'
perceptions of their classes,"
Marshall said.
The 30-question survey
primarily deals with four areas:
lecture, tests, teaching style and
class materials, he added.
According to Marshall,
numerous faculty from the
School of Business Administration, including Dean
John    Hogan,    have    made
recommendations and approved
SA's faculty evaluations.
Hogan was not available for
comment Tuesday.
Marshall said SA sought
opinions from business faculty
members, but added the student
"fovernment did not include
faculty input unless SA agreed
with it.
"The whole idea of a student-
run evaluation is to use
students' own questions,"
Marshall added.
Until about two months ago,
SA planned to distribute^ the
evaluations to all CMU classes.
Disclosure bill
faces hearing
by JIM FISHER
LIFE Managing Editor
The first hearing on a bill
designed to expose conflicts of
interest in public bodies,
legislation several CMU
trustees say they could not
comply with, begins Thursday in
Lansing.
Although none of Central's
eight trustees are expected to
attend the hearing of the House
Policy Committee, trustees from
several other state colleges and
universities are expected to
voice their opposition to the far-
ranging financial disclosures the
bill would require.
Several of CMU's trustees
have already said they might be
forced to resign their positions if
the bill, as currently written,
becomes law.
The bill requires a large range
of state and 'local officials to
disclose their major financial
and business interests, as well
as those of their business
partners and immediate family
members.
Included in the disclosures
would be sources of income,
debts and property holdings of
more than $1,000.
