In a tension-filled Ballroom
last night, Linda Gay Hughes,
West Branch senior, was tentatively named Central's 1&70
Homecoming Queen.
Upon being announced the tentative winner of the 14-candidate
contest, the Vet-sponsored
beauty appeared speechless.
A sociology major and psychology and speech minor, Miss
Hughes said that her role as
Homecoming Queen would be non-
existant. "I will not play a
role," she said, "but simply be
myself." The duties of such a
position can only be those of mine
as a person," she added.
Election won't be official for 48 hours

"As Queen, I will do as I
would In any position—learn from
the new experiences help lnsite
change where it would be most
beneficial for a majority of students, and most important, I'll
have a fantastic time getting to
better know my fellow students."
The 5 foot 2 inch blue-eyed
brunette, was a finalist in last
year's Miss CMU Pageant.
Her interests include playing
me piano, painting, sewing and
participating in various sports.

LIFE Staff Wiiter
Draft Information Center, a
service very few students know
about, has begun its second year
wi& an expanded staff, -a new
location and old objective.
"Our objectives  remain the
same as last year," Father Roger Dunigan, St. Mary's Chapel -
co-pastor and Draft Information
Center director, said.
"Our concern is not to make
aecisions for anyone, but to help
n«m of draft.agethink through
™ feelings and responsi-
ouities as they make their own
decisions."
.The center, located at/St.
wmj.s, next to Anspaca Hall,
was wganized last year by the
?t Pastors Association.
t^K6??e w*s done by the pas-
™£ hut this year 15-20 students,
J* wen and women, have been
ttalned as draft counselors.
centr^5 t0 Fr- Pm&* to*
«uter was organized because^
Also during the morning hours
in Kalamazoo, the CMU cross
country team (now 2-1 on the
season after shutting out Ohio
State University 15-47 last week)
will run against powerful Western
Michigan University while the
Chip Club soccer squad tackles
the WMU team.
The Central women will be at
Northern Michigan University for
two field hockey contests between
me first and second teams of
both schools.
Parents Day festivities begin
with an informal reception in the
U.d. ballroom from 10 am to
noon. Tours of campus will be
conducted from tne University
Center by the Boosters' Club
also during this time.   .
Game time for the Chippewas*
football encounter with Illinois
State University is 1:30 pm at
Alumni Field. The CMU team
will be trying to stretch its
season record to 3-1. A coffee
hour for faculty, alumni and
friends will follow th game in
the foyer of Finch Fieldhouse.
The final event of the day will

vV
"me draft involves crucial decisions affecting the life and1
integrity of the individual. A
draft counseling center is a community response to the needs of
men who face conscription and
need sympathetic counseling, and
1 expert advice."
Fr. Dunigan explained that centers like this are helpful. "Contrary .to the often expressed
opinion of Selective Service, draft
boards are not necessarily, the
best source of information on'
the draft."
He elaborated, citing two reasons. "For one reason clerks
(at draft boards) are often overworked and may riot have the
time to give information. For
another reason, certain deferments, particularity those re*
lating to conscientious objectors
are ignored, apparently as a matter of policy."
Continuing Fr. Dunigan said,
"For these reasons and others,
a nongovernment center for
draft counseling is desirable.
We hope to supply the information
draft boards do not, by working within thg framework of. the
draft."
Fr. Dunigan added that for
the most part draft information
centers, have, met with.the approval of government officals.
"Col. Arthur Holmes, state
selective service director, said
recently that centers like this are
very helpful and useful."
Ray Weber, draft counselor,
commented on the success of the\
program saying "Last year we
had mostly seniors come in but
this year students from all
classes have been  in seeking
advice."
Weber said a major goal of
the center this year is to extend the program to high schools
in the area. "High school students need the counseling also,"
he said. -
The center is open Monday
■' through Friday from 3-5 p.m.
and 7-9 p.m* Phone numbersthat
can be called at anytime are
772-1182 and 772-5055.

TUESDAY'S ELECTION was held Thursday, and aside from
tentative Homecoming Queett selections, some student posts
were not made public until today* after press time. "We
had more people vote than ever before," said Elections Director Sandy Wiese in explaining the late ballot counting procedure. "We counted the Homecoming Queen ballots first,
so the tentative winners could be announced Thursday night
at the Queen's Dance. Balloting is set up in a hard way to
quickly count the many different Program Board and Student
Senate contest winners, so it just takes a long time physically
to get everything counted/' she continued.
All election results wHl be listed in Monday's LIFE, and
are posted to the Student Government offices to ih@ U Center*
