Another iceman who decided to take his shot at frozen glory is Chris Nilan. After three seasons of action in a Husky uniform, Nilan saw the strategic window to the pros opening when he was offered a contract and promptly bagged his senior year. And, oh, yes it wasn't just any NHL team that Nilan got an offer from. It was those standard bearers of the pious tradition of the puck, the Montreal Canadiens...
...squad: a lot of high school hoop stand-outs have discovered biochemistry or poetry-writing or yacht racing. They can play intramurals at the IAB on Sunday mornings, where they will probably find veterans of last year's j.v. team--only one of whom still wears a Harvard uniform...

Not only does the argument ignore basic questions of fairness as outlined earlier, it also makes the assumption that all we should worry about is having enough bodies in uniform. We too want full enlistments; as we have said above, we also think a whole host of military, social and political ends are served by changing the method by which those bodies are selected...
