UM President C. Peter Magrathi quoted in Hit Minnesota Daily, said Alsop's ruling stops the law "dead in its tracks."' "Minnesota's position is not frivolous, is not in favor of lawbreakers,'' he said. "It's not in favor of fighting the draft; it is in favor of fair treatment for University of Minnesota students; it is in favor of getting financial aid.

He added that the proposed rules would require a minimum of administrative effort of the part of colleges. "That simply isn't true.
