Y ouths who are not University students are having troubles planning their futures A 21 The Eyes Have It Gov. by Ann Bailey is rising for a shake-u- p of Selective Service methods. Many in Congress feel the draft is too easy on college students, often unfair to individuals. But many feel changes are likely to be limited to a crackdown on students. Thats already started. Because of the limited number of college deferments, the University of Utah has changed, its policies accordingly. Some in favor of the students, some in favor of the draft. About a month ago, the Board of Regents set up certain stipulations concerning tuition refunds and credits giyen for students who are drafted. Virginia P. Frobes, Dean of Students, told the Review of another policy the University was thinking of implementing. If this policy were to take effect, no grade transcripts would be released to anyone, including the draft boards, without, the signed consent of the student. A 21 year old University student re- -. acted to this possible policy: "If we didnt give the draft beard our grades, they would suspect we were hiding low grades and draft us anyway. eSo whats the use." . Many University students are ex-- " tremely worried about the draft situation at this time, but there are those who arent. The Huddle Room, in the University of Utah Union, Monday evening, contained students on both sides of the fence. One flippant boy, about 20, when asked by the Review whether he thought the draft laws ought to be changed said, Hell, no. The drafts here to stay. Everybody ought to be drafted at least once. Discussion started among the boys themselyes. 1 think the draft laws are basically fair. They could sure make them a helluva lot more unfair, one said. That national test for college students was a farce. They dont use it one bit. They end up going back to your grades, so whyd they give it in the first place? another asked. ttsuDnaotthe boys, between bridge hands, explained what happened to bitn when he was drafted. 1 had to go before the Review Board and do you know who son the Review Board? Three supposedly prom-ina- nt citizens in good standing in the community. These guys decide whether or not you are gonna get drafted. Hows that grab ya?" The boy went on to propose that those who dont pass the physical should hold desk jobs in the Army. Ya know 20 of these guys in Utah dont pass the physical and they get out of the draft. So why cant they do the desk work? That would leave more of the physically fit guys to fight and more guys would get to stay in school. Several of the students are inROTC or the reserves, but they still had reactions to the draft.

Ive heard rumors that there are deputies taking part in political activities. 1 don't think they have a right to take the exams if theyre going to take part in political activities. (Ed. Note: The law provides that a deputy may be discharged for taking part in political activity, but that initiative must be taken by the sheriff. The law makes no provision for the chairman of the board to take the initiative or to withhold exams on that premise.) "The old timers in the merit system are holding up the new guys, Mazuran said. He said the merit system has the authority to determine when the exam is given. He said there have been a lack of merit ratings in the last six years. One of them was supposedly lost by the Merit Board secretary and the other is at his residence "But Pm staying out of it, he said.

Barker Jr. confirmed that he too, had heard reports that members of the city commission were discussing the possibility of v depriving Jim Barker of the pity's Pub- -I lie Safety Department. v The plan, as it was brought to Jim Barkers attention, contemplated making him a "commissioner at large. Commissioner Lou Holley told the Review that he had not heard of such talk. After a Wednesday morning conference with Mayor J. Bracken Lee, Commissioner Barker said that two commissioners had approached the mayor on the possibility. Mr. Holley was of the opinion that theyd never try it. Its been done only once before in the citys history, he said; and then only part of a department was taken away from a commissioner in the late 1930s because of the failing capacity of an aging commissioner. Mr. Barker said that if the City Commission should determine to deprive him of Public Safety (a move authorized under state statute for the public benefit) they could not deprive him of toe right he has to concern himself with every department of city government and its function. Barker observed that If he were deprived of Public Safety he would be left with toe time and toe inclination to serve Salt Lake City as "a one man grand jury. He indicated that it would give him pleasure to examine toe records and performance of all departments of toe city under toe authority possessed by each City Commissioner. The possibility that weaknesses in toe Salt Lake County Sheriffs Department may lead to efforts to unionize that law enforcement agency appeared cm the horizon this week. 1 political A weak, politically disintegrated Salt m Lake County Deputy Sheriffs Merit Commission, was posing problems for Sheriff g George Q. Neilsen Jr Problems that some observers felt would lead I toward early attempts to replace a weak merit system with a strengthening Public Employees labor organization. Sheriffs Department administrative personnel complained to The Review that toe Deputy Sheriffs Merit Board apparently is rationalizing its legal requirements with prospects of toe September 13 primary election. Joe Mazuran, a member of toe Midvale City Council and chairman of toe Merit Commission, toe Review was told, has refused for more than eight months to comply with his legal requirements. Letters on file at toe sheriffs department show that mi December 22, 1965, a letter was sent to toe Merit Board asking for an eligibility register of deputies for promotion to toe ranks of lieutenant and ;j captain. This week such a register had not been provided. On March 30, the records showed, Mazuran notified toe sheriff that exam-- s! inations were being prepared for promo-- 5 tions to the rank of lieutenant. On April second Mazuran was requested by letter H to make toe examinations inclusive of lieutenants and captains. There have been no examinations, and examinations have not been prepared. The Sheriffs Department advised The Review that it investigated rumors that Mr. Mazuran was telling people there would be no examinations, despite legal requirements of the merit laws, until it was determined who will be toe candidate (Continued on page A2) of the Utah Heritage. Formed thlsyear the Foundation will raise $100,000 over the next four months to preserve important values from the Utah Heritage for future generations in history, architecture, art, archaeology, and other arts and sciences. Redd, Provo. The Foundations first objective Is to raise money $100,000 of It. The exact disposition of the money Isnt too clear - yet but should be by the time the drive gets underway. Major and extensive project is a survey of the states his-cis- ts. torical monuments and areas. Foundation officials predict a tough problem in identifying and verifying items of real historical interest. There will be cries of help from all over the state from owners of structures believed to be of value. To decide on the veracity of the claims the Foundation has an advisory board composed of a group of experts - in a variety of fields. Probably anticipated, but not alluded to the Tuesday meeting is the sensitivity of the Foundations task.
