...Smoke-Ins were sponsored by a mysterious group called the Committee For Sensible Marijuana Legislation. One member called it "just a bunch of people who got together and wanted to pull something off like this." They handed out leaflets in the Square two weeks ago advertising the session: "Free Grass. We Want Pot." It may have started as a civil disobedience in protest against the marijuana. But as more and more people arrived, a festive mood developed. Everyone was having great fun.

Therefore it may have to choose between what it considers two evils: the 19-year old pool with an unfair system or the present order of oldest first. This decision will make great difference to students who have received deferments. If the 19-year old pool is used--by lottery or otherwise--then students no longer deferred will have about a 50-50 chance of being drafted in that first year and then will be placed in the pool with persons...
