Some people in the Resistance really thought that we would be able to stop Hershey's machine. Hershey's real problem though was not how to find 500,000 men to send to Vietnam but how to channel the other 11,000,000 into activities for the national interest. The Resistance strategy was bound to fail but a lot was learned about what not to do in the future...
BILL HUNT gave his "Channeling" speech about once a month. He talked about Hershey and his newspaper women in the army he'd draft them. He gave that speech the night the Supreme Court reversed a lower court decision and sentenced David O'Brien to five years for burning his draft card. David was there and the speech cheered him up. Later, the judge whose decision was reversed decided that no Supreme Court was going to reverse his decision. He suspended the sentence...
...recruiter last year seemed to him a threatening disruption of the rules of liberal fair play. He is willing, however, to be a critical of the Right as of the Left. He has no truck for those parlour libertarians who finds SDS rhetoric "ominously ambiguous" and General Hershey's announcements merely "impolitic" or "stupid."

...personally aware of any case in which the government has taken reprisals aganist a university for the activities of its students or faculty. General Hershey and local draft boards have their ways of dealing with dissent, but removing Federal support for universities will not change that situation at all. More important, I am not aware that Yale has suffered for the actions of William Sloan Coffin, or Harvard or M.I.T. for the anti-ABM views of Abram Chayes or Jerome Wiesner. Neither am I aware that any university suffered because its students and faculty were active in the Dump Johnson...
Should the bill become law, it will still leave many draft critics unsatisfied. It fails to deal with such questions as conscientious objection and the inconsistencies among local boards in awarding deferments. Nixon promised to have Hershey and the National Security Council study the remaining problems, with new recommendations due Dec. 1. At the same time, Nixon maintains his position that the best way to reform the 29-year-old draft is to eliminate it altogether. Ways to redeem Nixon's campaign pledge to seek an all-volunteer Army are under consideration by an advisory committee. So radical...
