FEB 20, 1953
This week is being recognized as Brotherhood Week over the nation—a week when we are conscious of the welfare of our friends and neighbors.
When we stop to realize the many times we’ve had little worries and troubles on our minds and we atop and talk it over with a friend, they will help and understand. It is this feeling that makes us want to do nice things for this persons and thus, it creates a feeling that can only be expressed by one who has accomplished such a feat.
Another word comes cropping up to my attention—• Prejudice! People often take pride in prejudice, and yet prejudice, which is hate and envy, and which is the feeling of false superiority, is the root of w ar.
Mankind’s worst enemies do not always come out openly with their comments. The worst operate in underground murmurs and in their so-called humor. If we want a peaceful world, we must stop these murmurs, and help one another understand and work together will all people, regardless of race, color, or religion.
Today is World Day of Prayer—we can put into practice our beliefs by praying for a better world and of people working together peacefully and without prejudices.

Have you ever wondered what goes into the making of a paper?
Well, first of all, it needs good reporters to collect and write up the news.
This is one thing of which the Spectator is short. In order to put out a good paper, it is necessary to have people interested in it, and willing to work for that goal.
Working on a school paper is very good experience for almost any vocation in which you are interested. It is exciting—you know what is going to happen before it happens.
If you are one of those students who need journalistic experience, and also want to set a goal for himself, your job is one you will never regret.
The Spec needs you and your talents!

The Local Draft Board \
The Federal Government has set up in each community a Local Draft Board to make contact with, examination of. and final decision concerning the draftees from that community.
This local Draft Board has been empowered with large responsibilities and powers. Certain statutes have been set up to guide the Boards and certain advices given to them. However, a great deal of power remains to their discretion.
This is in line with our theory of democracy. The intent is to leave final judgments in the hands of local community people as fully as possible.
In most cases, this seems to work satisfactorily. Most local Draft Boards are comprised of responsible people who are willing to take on this duty considering it their responsibility as citizens.
In some-cases it has not worked well and justice and equity have miscarried. It may occur for several reasons.
It occurs when an unfortunate choice of Draft Board membership is made. Some people cannot stand power: power changes them nnd they misuse it. This is always an indication of a smaller man: the larger the man the better he can handle power and the more humble it makes him.
B. In most instances, local draft boards are comprised of very busy people. They may not have had time to acquaint themselves with the great volume of statutes which have come out from Selective Service Headquarters. They, therefore, do not know what the intent of the law is concerning the boys who are drafted; they make their decisions on unobjective and personal bases.
In most cases, however, the local Draft Board is comprised of conscientious people who are trying to co-operate with their country’s needs and to be fair to every citizen of their own community. They deserve certain co-operations from draftees and their parents. Among such co-operations are these:
1. Keep your local draft board informed of your address. If you move, let them know immediately.
2. Kebp your local draft board
informed of your work. If you are a student or if you are in any kind of work, which would seem to give you eligibility for a new classification let them know at once.
3. When they send you forms to fill out or inquiries for information. reply at once.
4. If it is convenient and seems desirable, drop in to see them so that they can know you personally.
5. Do not insist on special treat-
South Africa at the present time is one of the most turbulent countries in the world.
A set of racial segregation laws which by contrast make the South in the U. S. seem heaven to a darker - skinned man, according to the late Canda Lee. is at last being challenged by the people of African and Indian ancestry.
The people of European ancestry, not much more than a fifth of the population, are fearful of losing their identity and their prestige. So far the only answer the government has thought of is- to extend apartheid (segregation) and make the laws and their enforcement even more repressive.
The Campaign Against the Unjust Laws, sponsored primarily by the African National Congress, and launched June 26. has so far resulted in thousands of arrests.
This campaign is being proclaimed as one of the most important nonviolent movements since India woo her freedom.
ment in your case unless it is merited. They are dealing with hundreds of boys.
6. On the other hand, there are certain rights which you have of which they may not be informed. It is your duty as a citizen to tell them. It is not unpatriotic to do so. They should be protected from violating the intent of the law and. if in your case, they seem to be violating it, inform them.
7. In some cases they arc not clear on the regulation concerning student deferments. More frequently they are not well informed about the regulations concerning the continuation of student deferments for those who are preparing for specially needed, vocations and professions such ns. medicine, dentistry, veterinary work, and so on.
If they do not know these things and when you inform them they are not willing to look into it. it is expected that you will appeal to a higher board, even ail the way to national appeal board.
These are our democratic provisions. If we do not move in these directions we are not making our democracy and democratic ways operative. In our democratic society we share information, we explain our understandings of our rights, in kindly insistance we give and tike so that the personal liberties of no one are trampled on
