A Questionable Step
The Trustees of the California State College
system took a questionable step when they
called for "an investigation of the steward¬
ship* of San Francisco State College Presi¬
dent John Summerskill.
We caution the blue-ribbon five man com¬
mittee, named by trustee chairman Donald M.
Hart, to limit their sleuthing into the so-called
violence which took place in December at San
Francisco State College. The investigating
committee should not take this opportunity to
search for answers troubling other California
State College campuses.
Their findings, most likely a determining
factor upon retention of Summerskill, will
start a dangerous precedence for investigation
of other state college presidents-Los Angeles
State President John Greenlee in particular.
We applaud Leo McClatchy, legal counsel
for the Statewide Academic Senate, for his
plea to the trustees to reject the resolution
introduced by Lt. Governor Robert Finch, be¬
cause it "takes discretion away from the cam¬
pus.*
And more applause for President Summer-
skill. We congratulate him for acting as a re¬
sponsible college president (with the right to
make and stick to his own decisions.)       CMS

No Deferments—Sisk
By B. F. (Bernie) Sisk
Congressman — 16th District
WASHINGTON - If it has done nothing else,
the controversy over whether illegal interfer¬
ence with recruiting is grounds to strip young
men of draft deferments has focused new at¬
tention on the Selective Service System and
our attitudes toward the draft.
At the center of the controversy is Lieuten¬
ant General Lewis B. Hershey, Director of the
Selective Service System. General Hershey
said if a person who holds a deferment partic¬
ipates in some illegal anti-war demonstration,
the draft board might well reclassify him and
remove the deferment.
A deferment, he argues, is a privilege ex¬
tended by the government "in the national in¬
terest* and illegal interference with national
policy is not in the national interest. There¬
fore, the deferment is not justified. Hershey
made clear that he was talking about "illegal"
activities, not mere dissent from national pol¬
icy.
Even so, Justice Department officials felt
that any implication that the draft was being
used as a punitive weapon was morally and
legally wrong.
As I consider this question, I tend more and
more to believe that there should be no defer¬
ments from the draft except in the case of ex¬
treme and aggravated cases of family hard¬
ship.
Deferring a man from military service be¬
cause he is a student discriminates against
people who are unable to go to school. Ob¬
viously a great many Negroes and Mexican-
Americans are unable to go to school simply
because they cannot afford it.
Other minority group members are unable
to go to school because they have been edu¬
cationally disadvantaged from their first day
in kindergarten. They are thus penalized be¬
cause of a failure on the part of society to e-
quip them to go on to college.
