NSA Allegedly Wants CIA Help
Lottery Draft Viewed
A proposed draft tottery may becc
the current Induction system expires,
as to the  effectiveness  of the new measure which will decide th*
fate of thousands of young man to the United Stat...
Th. draft tottery I* designed to assure an equal draft system
throughout the United State*. Eighteen-year-olds and over will place
their nam*. Into a "fish bowl" and allow the tew of percentages to
decide their fate for th. next two or three years. AH youth* 18 1/2
to 19 would be chosen first Instead of 84, 28 and 28. Th* new system
would help end complaints that the present system
against certain men.
If the lottery does becon
allow themselves to be not
of chance.
The public demands a fair and lndlscrimlnatory system of selective
service. There have been many proposals toward establishing this
kind of draft. One proposal Is to have all male high school students
serve 18 months in the armed forces Immediately after graduation.
There are many points in favor of this type of program. Graduates
would fulfill their military obligation and be more apt to know
what they want to do In choosing between education and Immediate
employment.
■The Washington Dally News'
according to an advisory board
of the National Student Associa¬
tion is secretly considering ways

. on the Central In- log to theCIA be hidden or burned
and that all past or present staff
members destroy any papers they
nave which link toe group to the
Intelligence agency-
Some NSA board member* also
expressed concern they might be
drafted If the CIA's association
with the group U discontinued.
"Ramparts* magazine said some
NSA staff members receive spe¬
cial draft deferments.
These officials "would pass
along reports on foreign student
leaders directly to the agency,"
the magazine said. 'This infor¬
mation helped the CIA In evalua¬
ting toe political tendencies of
prospective  political leaders In
tie with the Central Intelligence
Agency. The CIA'* subsidy pro¬
gram to such student groups was
revealed to February.
The NBA'* national super¬
visory board Is attempting to
work out a new arrangement
which would enable the nation's
largest student organization to
continue receiving subsidy pay¬
ments from the CIA.
United Press International re¬
ports that a majority of the NSA
board members attending the se¬
cret molting argued tor contin¬
ued secret support from theCIA.
Only three of the 10 board mem¬
bers expressed outright opposl-
Richard Sterns, NSA Interna¬
tional president, declined to say
where toe meeting with the CIA
representatives was held, but
sources close to toe association
said the conference was held
at the home of NSA president
Eugene Groves.
Bob Kuttner, an NSA staff mem¬
ber elected to sit with toe board,
later denied any such discussion
was held at toe meeting, which he
said was attended by 30 persons.
The   major   consensu

Students nave the tendency, after high school, to become discouraged
with  education  and   fall   behind   In  their   studies  while to college.
The   new  proposal would provide a break between high school and
college and enable the student to realize hla goals.
The lottery presents to the youth of this country percentages that
place draft-age men In an unsteady position. They would not know
when they would be called for military service.
Immediate military service after high school graduation, however,
fulfills obligations that would have to be met later In life, at some
unknown and perhaps very inopportune time.

My original analysis of Mr.
Smith's condition was that of
simple culture shock. As U well
known when one leaves one's own
ences 'cultural -.hock." Mr.
Smith, like the rest of us, came
to Fresno State College from the
United States of America. Such
things as the unusual architec¬
ture, for example the beautiful
Pre-Camblan designed fountain,
the glass clanking ritual in the
village earing area, the Inability
to communicate with the natives,
some of the women of this tribe,
concerning their leaving the vil¬
lage after certain hours, the
adjustment to native food, these
and other factors certainly
caused "cultural shock."
But to time Mr. Smith adjusted
and  therefore  I sought another
I noticed that Mr. Smith had a
rather common disease known as
hyperaeoslxlvitum needle Injec-
tus. Although toe symptoms still
exist, may do not explain, I be¬
lieve, the complete history of his
place reminds me of the United
States of America.' I began no¬
ticing other signs such as not
complaining about the weather,
wearing suits and ties and so
forth. But I still was not certain.
On Feb. 23 I received a copy
of a letter which Mr. Smith pur-

Unfortunately Mr. Smith eats
an apple a day and consequently

With due humility, 1 offer a

Who cares and who is really In¬

or are they really? The diction¬
ary defines protest as 'offering
opposition to a concept or per¬
son In the hope of affecting or
changing the Idea or person.*
But bow are these vlglilsts going
to end the war In Vietnam ( oo,
1 am not so naive as to believe
this to be their purpose). Who Is

If you protestnlks really want
to end the war, why not march oo

since you place such faith In the
power of your protests and

Beatniks Out, Hippies In

"    "Oh Poppy Flower. . .
The   Hip  Taste  Your  Kiss No More ...
They Have Gone to Pot."
For a short, succinct description of drug use in
San Francisco's ilalght- Ashbury district, it would
be difficult to Improve on toe Haiku you've just
San Francisco has long had a drug scene, to
be sure, but toe emphasis has recently shifted
from physical euphoria to physic liberation. Back
In the old days, when Eisenhower and Company
were firmly to charge of the- public weal, toe
casual hipster could drop a couple of bennies,
chug-a-lug cough syrup or even, depending oo the
financial picture, buy a bag of heroin to sweeten toe
Juices of depression that he usually found himself
stewing In.
In the fifties, the action was in North Beach
and if you mentioned The Topless, people would
have thought you were talking about a car. There
was Vesuvlo's with toe hair-raising graffiti on the
walls of the men's John and who can forget the
old Co-Existence Bagel Shop and the good coffee—
and conversation — to be had there?
North Beach Is Out
Mort Sahl would hold forth at the hungry 1 and
and Vietnam wasn't even a whisper to anyone's
ear. The major problem facing America, said Sahl,
was Dee spending too much time on the golf course.
"Beatnik" was the word of the day and Zen was all
r old
North Beach haunts. They sip their dago red a
reminisce about toe good times of the past. Memor¬
ies. . . Gregory Corso and Allen ("Howl") Gins¬
berg, Lawrence Ferllngbettl and toe City Lights
Book Store, Jack Kerouac and his *On The Road*
with Its many sequels. Bummln' down Highway One
to Big Sur and the hot springs, toe Palace to Mon- ■
terey and Nepenthe if you had the money.
But North Beach today Is a sucker trap ot toe
first rank. The action Is oo Broadway and Colum¬
bus streets. All the accoutrements of gut-level fun
are to be had for a price — usually a high one.
Sidewalk shllls pester passers-by with lurid en¬
treaties, go-go girls do whatever It is that go-go
girls are supposed to do, hard-rock music thumps
and twangs, breasts and fannies are fleshy magnets
that draw In the customers and the tourists, God
bless 'em, wander about telling each other about
what a great time they're having and, Gee, Isn't
Frisco a keen and exciting place? Drinks are two
bucks the throw and about the only drug you'll find
Is Silicone of which toe Condor Club's piece de
resistance, Carol Doda, Is chief guru. MlssDoda's
abundant charms are sometimes used as proof that
Silicone Is the greatest thing to happen to women's
figures since the Invention of Playtex. Could be.
Heading West
The Beach owes Its existence to the Topless,
good pre ss-agentry and the solid mammary fixation
of many American men whose Monnles apparently
paid more attention to toe dictates of Dr. Spock
than to their natural urges. Its aura of vicarious
sin lends Itself to toe San Francisco mystique and
it serves as a handy salve to apply to the quiver¬
ing libidos of visiting firemen. But as a place to
find out what's happening with the under-30 set,
it's deader than yesterday's news.
Leaving the North Beach crowd to their dubious
pleasures, you follow Horace Greeley's old maxim
and head west on Geary. At Stanyan, you swing
south and drive by the eastern end of Golden Gate
Park. Crossing the Panhandle, It Is a short three-
clock ride to Halght Street and Is It your Imagin¬
ation that makes you hear the popping skulls and
snapping minds?
Leaving such vagrant thoughts behind, you pay
off the cabbie and cross the traffic thick street
to The Print Mint where you meet your contact man
whose pleasure It Is to show you around.
Hippie Contact
f The contact Is a 22-year-old hippie named Hey-
ou Swipe. Heyou, who wears toe uniform ot boots,
pea jacket and shades, remlndsoneofamodern day
Kit Carson. With his shoulder-length hair and lush
beard, I kept thinking that at any moment I would
hear some Hollywood type shout, "Lights! Cameral
Action!*
Heyou is, I was to learn, more or less always
turned on. He likes pot, admires Add and thinks
love Is a groove. He has an unusual name. I asked
him how he got it - was it his real one? "No-o...
I used to work at a stable," he said. "Any guy
who cleans up was called a 'swipe.', people used to
call me Hey You. Vknow? Like, Hey You, come
here. So when people would ask ma who I was,
I'd say I'm Heyou, toe Swipe.' It was a problem of
Identity! Now I just call myself Heyou Swipe."
SUMMER "GRASS"—A good book and a little pot to im¬
prove the day for the hippie. Dropping pot. less expensive
than some other vices. Is taking hold to Baight-Ashbury.
While digesting this information, I looked around
The Print Mint. A large room, the walls were
covered with posters and announcements. People
streamed to and out looking like toe "after* por¬
tion of a hair restoration ad.
The Mint is the headquarters of the HIP Job
Corps and the distribution center of toe Halght-
Ashbury "Oracle" — a newspaper devoted to Psy¬
chedelia, love, tost causes, hip poetry and low-key
protest In that order. It Is fun to read and It pro¬
vides Jobs tor many otherwise Indigent hippies. If
the efforts of toe HIP Job Corps (-Everyone is
eligible - No qualifications requires') fall to find
work tor the applicant, there's always toe "Oracle."
Bundles of toe papers will be given to toe would-be
worker and, after a long day peddling the rag to all
comers, the hlpple-turned-newsboy will have J10 to
$15. . . a true state of Bohemian affluence.
The Underground
The true nipple Is asocial, not anil-social. As
John Clelloo Holmes writes in "Nothing More to
Declare,'* tho hipster practices a kind of passive
resistance to the straight society to which ho lives.
He 'moves through our cities like a member of
some mysterious, non-violent Underground, not
plotting anything, but merely keeping alive an un¬
popular philosophy," Holmes writes. 'He finds to
bop, the milder narcotics, his secretive language
and the night Itself, affirmation of an in¬
dividuality. . . which can sometimes only be ex¬
pressed by outright eccentricity. . . his trancelike
'digging' of Jazz or sex or marijuana is an effort
to free himself, not exert power over others."
Heyou and the many other hippies "
Halght-Ashbury know that their use of marijuana
will not harm them. They know that It doesn't lead
to narcotics addiction, or cause Insanity, or breed
violence and crime. They believe that straight so¬
ciety's hysterical reaction to grass is part of what
poet Allen Ginsberg calls "The Great Marijuana
Hoax" - a concerted effort of some elements to
law enforcement to perpetuate their own positions
by "scaring" society Into passing dozens of re¬
strictive laws.
Heyou reappeared with a blonde girl to tow. She
was young, good-looking and obviously hip. "This
is Sandra," said Heyou. "She knows you're a report¬
er. She wants you to come to a little thing at her
place tonight. You're Invited on toe condition you
tell a straight tele. Okay?"
Okay.

SPURS Sells
Suckers, Cider
If a Fresno State College coed
Is to a million other activities,
has a high grade point average
and a desire to help others, then
she's probably a member of
SPURS.
SPURS is an honorary sopho¬
more social club dedicated to
serving the college and toe com¬
munity, and fostering a spirit of
loyalty and helpfulness among
women students.
Membership is based on cam¬
pus activities, personal Integrity,
and at least a 2.5 grade point
average. The group Is sponsored
by Saundra Speers and Lynn*
Paoletil.
Sue Llsh, president of SPURS,.
said the group has sent presents
to toe Portervtlle State Hospital
and has given parties for school
children to Fresno and Ptoedal*.
The women hold donut, sucker and
cider sales to raise money tor an
annual $150 scholarship to be
given in the spring.
