Are We Ready?

If Draft Is Reinstated, Few Options Will Be Available

if*

"Nobody is yet speaking of reinstituting the draft, but if the war goes beyond 90 days, it would be seriously discussed, if not necessarily adopted."

House nor the Department of Defense indicates a draft is under consideration, and the president has said a draft Is not necessary." Yet not all U.S. government officials are discounting the possibility. And Arizona's Joyner thinks if the war escalates to prolonged ground fighting, a draft will be needed to support and replenish the troops. "I see It coming."

But do these men and their families even need to be worried about the draft? "Nobody is yet speaking of reinstitutlng the draft, but if the war goes beyond 90 days, it would be seriously discussed, if Canada, where many U.S. not necessarily adopted."

While many oppose Instituting the draft, the University of Michigan's student newspaper has called for reinstatement.

(CPS) — As the war In the Persian Gulf enters Its third week, still no one In Washington. DC. Is willing to do much more than guess If Congress will reinstate the military draft. The only certain thing Is that young American men who don't want to fight will have few sanctuaries to which to turn. Most of the escape routes have. In effect, been closed. "I see huge, huge problems" for people trying to escape the draft, said Conrad Joyner, a political science professor at the University of Arizona.

Young men who can prove to their local draft board they are homosexual or a conscientious objector can get out of serving, though It will take some effort.

As late as Jan. 17. the Selective Service issued a statement stating "the agency has no indication that a draft is needed. Neither Congress, the White

"However unjust the war might be. the greater Injustice lies In the fact that the poor and people of color continue to shoulder the majority of the fighting." said an editorial in the Michigan Dairy. "If the sons and daughters of our president and members of Congress were required to fight alongside the others in Saudi Arabia, these officials might act with a little more hesitation." It continued. It would take a congressional vote to reinstate the draft, and the selection could start within hours of approval. The lottery would be open to the public, held In an auditorium where Selective Service officials would have two clear drums. One drum would hold 365 slips of paper (366 if it is a leap year) imprinted with the dates of the year. The other drum would hold slips numbered one through 365 or 366. A draft official would then draw a slip from each drum, matching a date to a number. Men turning 20 on the date drawn with the number 1 would be called first.

NEWS Taxes And The Working Student

College Experts Denounce President Bush's 1992 Budget

Printed from the 1991 Tax Supplement from the I.R.8. Students who have part lime or summer jobs need to think about more than what hours they should work or how to spend their earnings. High on their list of considerations should be whether to have taxes withheld.

Is under age 24 at the end of the calendar year and earns up to $3,2SO in wages, tips and taxable scholarships, provided he or she has no unearned income such as interest or dividends; or Is 24 or older at the end of the calendar year, has no unearned income, and cams less than $2,050.

Some of the many things which affect the need for withholding are: • How much will the student make at this and any other job during the year? ■ Does the student have a savings account or other investments which produce income? ■ Does (or will) the student have a scholarship which will be partially or fully taxable during the year? ■ Can the student be claimed as a dependent on someone else's tax return?

Students who are 24 or older at the end of the calendar year and earn $2,050 or more can no longer be claimed as dependents on another person's return. For more information. Form W-4 and Publication 4, Student's Guide to Federal Income Tax, may be obtained by calling the Internal Revenue Service at I 800 TAX-FORM (1-800829 3676).

Each of these factors should be considered when students fill out Form W-4. "Employee's Withholding Allowance Certificate," to determine how much, if any, tax should be with held from each pay check.

The budget, campus money experts add, might well decrease the number of work-study Jobs students can get. "He's robbing one set of students to let others get more money." complained Edward Elmendorf of the American Association of State Colleges and Universities.

The administration proposed Increasing funding for existing programs by $63 million, or less than 1 percent. In all. it wants to spend $29.6 billion on education

It would also make It virtually impossible for certain students who now get federal college loans to get other types of aid.

"What we are basically doing is changing the mix." budget director Richard Darman said at a Senate Budget Committee hearing Feb. 5. "A person from a little bit higher Income (family) is taking a little bit more in loans."

In general, a single student who can be claimed as a dependent by another person will owe no taxes if he or she:

in other words. If campuses need more money they are going to have to ask students for it by raising tuition. Overall. Bush's $1.4 trillion budget would result in a $280.9 billion deficit — lower than this year's but still the second highest In the nation's history — with the full costs of the Persian Gulf War and the bailout of the savings and loan industry still unknown.

The administration wants to pay for 50 percent of a work study salary, down from 70 percent this year.

As it is. the government will be forced to borrow one of every five dollars It will spend In 1992. The budget proposal boosts total federal spending by 2.6 percent. It would Increase current spending for 250 federal programs, Including housing, transportation and space exploration.

To pay the extra money or replace grants to certain students, colleges wouldn't be able to ask their state legislatures for more funds, Elmendorf noted. "Thirty states are already In trouble." he said. They're not likely to reach deeper into their pockets."

It would eliminate more than 238 other programs, ranging from new public housing construction to student financial programs, to save $4.6 billion. In addition. 109 programs. Including urban mass transit and Amtrak subsidies, would suffer reductions totaling $8.3 billion.

"I'm sure the university would try to meet that 50 percent (mark) J. but that would be very difficult," Utah State's Atkinson said. "We're in a real tough time here-

Baseball Lancers Shooting For Playoffs Make no mistake about it. the main goal for the 1991 Longwood baseball team Is to return to the NCAA Division II Playoffs. Coach Buddy Bolding feels his team has a solid chance to qualify for NCAA play for the first time since 1987. "We are hopeful that we can contend for top honors in Division 11." says Bolding. who ranks sixth among Division II coaches In winning percentage. "We have our eyes on a bid to the South Atlantic Region Tournament." After competing for the playoffs in the North AtlanUc Region for the past three years. Longwood has been switched back to I lie South Atlantic which has a number of strong Division II teams In North and South Carolina as well as Georgia and Virginia. Six Starters Back Six starters and 12 lettermen are back. Topping the list is senior pitcher Dennis Hale. 11-0 with a 2.45 earned run average a year ago. Senior Matt Carlisle. 3-1, 3.44 e.r.a.. Is also back. Hale and Carlisle have accounted for 29 wins over three seasons. The senior duo should stabilize a young pitching staff. Anchoring the outfield will be senior centerfielder Eric Hutzler. .343. 6 homers, 13 stolen bases, a captain along with Hale and Junior catcher Scott Abell. Hutzler has Improved each season. Coach Bolding expects 1991 to be his best. Abell. who drove in a team high 39 runs last season, ranks among the top catchers in Longwood history. He hit six homers and nine doubles a year ago. while showing the ability to come through at crunch time.
