...usual corporation under New York law. Any non-profit organization that solicits funds in the state must file a full financial report under Article 10a of the Social Welfare Law--except religious agencies, and that is just how MRA classifies itself. As a religious agency, it is exempt from filing an annual report of its income and expenses, which would be public record, so no one knows where the money comes from...
Gilbert Harwood is the chief of the Charities Registration Service of the Department of Social Welfare of the Department of State in New York. That long title entitles Harwood to decide who should be exempt under 10a and who should not. Harwood was read some of this "We are not a religion" material. He said that he had seen it before, and "there is a good chance they are not a religious agency. They do not hold religious services and there is no credo." He told the CRIMSON that he would definately begin an investigation of MRA immediately. If Harwood...
Under current Selective Service rules, seminarians are automatically granted 4-D deferments.

To be exempt from military duty a conscientious objector must be opposed to all wars. Many divinity students object to the war in Vietnam but are not opposed to war in general. If Hershey refuses them C.O. status, the students would prepare to face prison sentences rather than submit to the draft...

If they are drafted, they should not have to fight. Apprentices ought to be exempt, VISTA workers ought to be exempt. Peace Corpsmen shouldn't have to go. The CP program sounds like an appeal for special interest groups...
...people to defeat the government's war. The CP meets the situation passively with the notion of disengagement from the "military industrial complex" (i.e., American society)--a clear impossibility for the vast majority of Americans, including students. Reduced to its essence, the CP's argument runs: if everyone were exempt, there would be no soldiers to fight the war. There is a Yiddish retort to such wishful thinking. It goes: "And if your grandmother were a trolley car...." And the question still remains: how do we unite Americans from different classes in a strong movement...
