( Questions Are Answered About Draft Lottery THE CHRONICLE, ainton, S. C-, Dec. 18, 1969—3-B 14 Clintonians Have Unclaimed Tax Refunds? Question: My birth date was drawn number 216 in the lottery. I am in school and will be until June 1973. Will the 216 number apply when I enter the pool in 1973 or will that year’s number control? Answer: The random sequence number you acquired in the De cember 1969 drawing will apply so long as you remain subject to induction for military service. Question: Presently I am in Class n-A but this deferment will expire on Feb. 28, 1970. I have number 306 from the lot tery. I will become 26 on May 1, 1970. If the local board does not reach my number before my 26th birthday, what will my status be? Answer: If the local board has not reached your number before your 26th birthday, you will, upon reaching age 26, leave the pool of those available for induction as part of the 1970 first priority se lection group. Question: If a local board must select three men to fill a call today for five, all of whom have the same birthday, which three would they take? Answer: In the event that two or more men have the same birth date within a local board, there sequence of induction will be de termined by the first letter of their names (last name and, if necessary, first name) which have been arranged in a random sequence of the alphabet estab lished during the drawing that was conducted on Dec. 1, 1969. Question: I am 19 years old, have no basis for deferment, and have sequence number 300. If I am not inducted in 1970, can I be inducted in 1971 or in subsequent years? Answer: You are liable for in duction to age 26 or to age 35 if you are or have been defer red. In 1971 you will have a de creased vulnerability. However, if the calls for manpower in 1971 are so high that they cannot be met by the 1971 selection group the local boards will then select from the supply of manpower that might be left over from 1970. As each year goes by without your induction taking place you will have a decreasing vulnerability. Question: Next February I will turn 19. Do I enter the lottery pool on that date? Answer: No. You won’t be in cluded in the random selection sequence until 1971. The 1970 pool is limited to those born on or after Jan. 1, 1944, and on or before Dec. 31, 1950. Question: Will there be any more drawings? Answer: Yes. A new random sequence will be made for each calendar year for those regis trants attaining the age of 19. Question: My birthday in the lottery gave me sequence number 325 and I will be in Class I-A next year. Can I count on not being inducted in 1970? Answer: No, because the total manpower requirements are not known and cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. Question: I have random se quence number 75. When my local board inducts me will other local boards be inducting registrants with this same sequence number? Answer: Not necessarily. It is expected that all local boards will be proceeding at about the same pace, but because local boards have varying percentages of their registrants in deferred status, and do not have the same number of registrants with the same birthdays, they may not be in ducting at any one time all a- vailable registrants with a par ticular random sequence number. Question: I have sequence num ber 250. If I want to volunteer for induction, will my local board wait until they reach sequence number 250 before they will ac cept me as a volunteer? Answer: No. They may accept you as a volunteer prior to reach ing your random sequence number in the induction process ing. Question: I am 19 years old and now deferred as a student. My random sequence number is 300. If sequence number 300 is not reached in 1970 in my local board, will I be home free when my deferment ends in 1973? Answer: No. If at the time you are classified I-A in 1973 your local board has not reached se quence number 300 in their in duction processing, you will sim ply be placed in that sequence and you may or may not be reach ed for induction in 1973. You will still have sequence number 300. If at the time you are classi fied I-A your local board has reached random sequence num ber 300 in 1973 you will be sub ject to induction at the head of the 1973 selection group. Fourteen Clinton residents are among taxpayers whom the S. C. Tax Commission is trying to con tact to issue tax refund checks. A commission spokesman said that 2,400 refund checks have been returned by the Post Of fice and subsequent attempts to locate the payee have been un successful. The 14 Clinton residents list ed are: Johnnie W. Cromer, 201A Mor gan St.; Linda Dawkins, 207 John stons St.; James O. Godfrey, Presbyterian College; John Ki- nard, Route 3, Airport Road; Des- se H.

Wells; Doris F. Whitefield, 311 Davis St.; Willie J. Williams, Route 2. More Frosh Are Failing Despite Higher SAT Scores “South Carolina colleges and universities are failing a higher percentage of their Freshman classes than they were 10 years ago and yet the average fresh man is entering college with a higher score on the scholastic aptitude test than he did ten years ago,” according to Dr. CarlosW. Gibbons, executive secretary of The SCEA. Gibbons said a survey of col lege failures as related to scores on the college scholastic apti tude exam reveals students are on the average scoring 60 points higher on the SAT than they were in 1960 yet the percentage of stu dents who fail college work con tinues to rise. “This situation raises several important questions which col leges and public schools must an swer because there is a dicho tomy in the facts. It does not stand to logical analysis that better prepared students should be failing at a higher rate than their predecessors who were less well prepared. It would suggest that there is a great need for guidance at the college level and an evaluation of professiorial grading systems. One could also hypothesize that the growing col lege enrollments and the inability of some students to get into col lege might have resulted in less personal concern for students and more stringent requirements to merit academic approbation by college professors. These facts might also suggest that our de- perdence upon artificial data about certain content areas as related to college success may have been too much and that other personality traits play greater roles in college success than cog nitive learnings. A recent sur vey would seem to support this thesis in that the three factors most common to success in col lege are (1) ability to read, (2) average intelligence, and (3) “stickability" or fortitude. “There is a natural tendency among the general public to be lieve that college teachers are better teachers than public school teachers and *hat student failures result from l le fault of the stu dent rather than the professor. While it is generally concluded that college teachers are better trained, possess more sophisti cation in technical skills, and have larger repertories of infor mation, these do not necessarily equate to success in motivating students to learn, ” Gibbons con tinued. “The public schools and the colleges have some of the best teachers to be found and they also have some of the poorest teachers to be found. Lackof uniformity of standards for teaching in colleges and universities often result in more misassignments of staff than occurs at the public school level,” he said. Gibbons stated that there con tinues to be a great need for better articulation andcommum- cation between the public schools and colleges in relation to ob jectives, expectations, orienta tion programs, reporting student progress, evaluative criteria and guidance programs. He said, “The SCEA established a high school-college committee a few years ago to help facilitate under standing between the colleges and high schools. A Department of Higher Education was also estab lished in The SCEA and this de partment is doing much to direcf and coordinate efforts to improve high school-college relation ships." Gibbons commended Governor McNair in his efforts to create the Commission on Higher Edu cation in South Carolina which is now functioning and which Gib bons says will develop into one of the most powerful forces for education in the state. “Higher education must be concerned with •'C •Jlk.il'. mm How The •J GRMCH r STOiE dHRlSTMAS Sunday evening, December 21, CBS-TV It’s our Christmas present to you — a merry holiday show for the whole family, and your opportunity to see how much more our hometown full service bank has to offer for your money.
