Thursday morning College
Worship will center around
Thanksgiving on on Individual
basis. In the trend ot the early
Pilgrims according to RoySporc
Worship Chairman of Ihe McM
each person will be asked to pre-
sent a personal symbol of
Thanksgiving.
One suggestion made by Spore
is that everyone bring an object
or symbol of an Idea that makes
a person feel thankful such as

slcal CAMELOT( presented at
the new Civic Center held a
auditorium spell bound with the
story of the magical kingdom
that was once known as a "fleet-
ing wisp ot glory" CAME-
LOT! "Camclot is the story ot a man
In search of a dream ... a dream
in which might is used for right
instead of might Is right" the
director Lewis Fulks says.
The cast was composed of
some of the top talent in the col-
lege area. Randy Foreman sen-
ior from Houston ployed the

Spore also noted that Norman
Cobb Associate Pastor at Here-
ford will be speaking at the
Dec. 2 College Worship program.
His presentation will be related
to contemporary worship.
Worship will begin at 0:30 In
the Social Hall ot Radford
Thursday morning.
There will bo an open seminar
with Cobb held on Wednesday
Dec. 1. The time for the seminar
will be announced later.
ningly beautiful Linda Petty
sophomore from Dallas played
Guenevcrc. The part of Lance-
lot the third member of the age-
old triangle was ployed by Mike
Dudley senior from Bishop Tex-
as. The message of the fast-moving
musical is given by the direc-
tor who wishes "each member
of the audience will vividly
share Arthur's dream for a bet-
ter world and his search for an
idea where all men arc equal
To this we might add that the
world like the round table needs
to have its members sit together
and talk ot peace.

New Draft Policy For
Deferred Students
Students who wish to drop
draft defcromonts In favor of 1-
A classification may still do so.
Six categories are included
among these 2-A occupational
deferments or vocationaltechni-
cal students 2-C agricultural do-
forcments 2-D Divinity students
2-S undergraduate college stu-
dents and 3-A hardship decre-
ments. Tills policy was instituted in
late 1070 and was of particular
interest to young men with ran-
dom sequence (lottery) numbers
above the highest RSN called for
Induction. Ry dropping their de-
ferments at the end of the year
they became part of that year's
prime selection group.
On January 1 they were plac-
ed in a second priority position.
Because of this they are not
subject to induction until the
manpower supply in the first
priority selection group is ex-
hausted a development likely
only if a major national emer-
gency occurs.
Registrants who desire to take
advantage of the policy in 1071
must have been born in 1051 or
earlier have RSN of 120 or
above and not bo a member of
the extended priority selection
group.
Requests must be submitted in
writing and postmarked no later
than December 1071 to be con-
sidered part of the 1071 prime
selection group.

People
By
18-20 yoar-olds voting in the first Ronornl election since
the ratification of the 20th amendment have tossed out old-
timers in a few places and have been elected to various of-
fices and observers are saving the new vote is not all that
it's cracked up to be . . but give a chance 'cause we only
just got here.
Recent political developments include the meeting of some
400 Black elected officials mayors state legislators local
administrators and school board members in a throe-day
conference in Washington to explore the possibility of form-
ing a national Negro voting bloc.
Julian Bond one of the key leaders of the effort says the
dominant sentiment among Black leaders around the coun-
try Is to run a single Black candidate in next spring s Demo-
cratic primaries. Also there would be an attempt to elect
GOO Black delegates to the Democratic convention In 1072
Their plan Is to sav to a Democratic hopeful "We will
give you our united Black delegate support hero enough to
give vow the nomination In return for a large number of
top level appointments by your administration." Naturally
there Is hope for a close race Involving several candidates.
This new move by Black leaders looks like something
constructive. Maybe It's a change of pace from the usual
brlck-sllnglng hcnd-bopplng campaigns by minorities.
This Is in contrast with the radical ideas of Malcolm X
and others who instigated n program of direct assault which
Is being followed by some Blacks who want progress.
The new Black Delegation would want more government
jobs based on Black percentages and Including top-level
positions. This Is good. There must be something wrong with
a svstcm that allows misrepresentation.
However how would radical attitudes affect the country
If Blacks acquired as much control as they want? Would we
have an all-Black Congress Administration etc? Would
every fifth "white person" be banned In retribution? For
past Injustices.
Black radicals are so fervent In their campaigning that
they allow their attitudes rather than their Ideas to guide
them. Blacks further alienate themselves by assuming at-
titudes that label whites as "the enemy."
They say good fences make good neighbors but .
The Turtle Shell
By QUS
Today starts something that
I hope will become a tradition at
McMurry- That is a weekly col-
umn In the War Whoop coming
from the Student Association
Government Office and also
from the office of the President
of the College. I feel that both
of these offices owe you the
student some kind of communi-
cation and this is probably the
best means of communicating to
the majority of the students that
we have at McMurry. 1 would
ask you to bear with us and help
us to speak to your questions so
together we can work for the
betterment of McMurry.
Today I want to discuss two
things that I am sure many of
you have questions about.
First I fear that many of you
do not understand what Linda
Adams calls the "stlcking-youi-neck-out
turtle business." Al-
though most of what she re-
ported in her column "Injun-
uity" about the SAG turtle busi-
ness is true I do not feel she
stressed the point seriously en-
ough. If most of you remember
I stated at the beginning of this
year that the 1071-72 SAG was
going to be different.
The SAG's of years past al-
though they may have been do-
ing something you the student
haidly ever heard about it. This
year I hope that you will not
only hear more about what SAG
has already been doing but also
about some new things SAG has
never done before. This "turtle
business" is one such new thing
and it is all In an effort to com-
municate with you our fellow
students. If you have something
you do not like about McMur-
ry talk to someone that you

know In SAG. If you do not
know anyone in SAG then just
look for a turtle button on every
Monday Won't You help us
Next 1 want to discuss some-
thing that affects us all. That Is
the eighteen year old vote. In
looking over a pamphlet sent out
by National Student Lobby the
change in the number of eligible
voters as a result ot the 2Gth
amendment Is staggering. Ac-
cording to this pamplct one out
of every five potential voters in
1072 will either be ellblgle to
vole because of the 20th amend-
ment or because they have just
reached the age of twenty one.
The pamphlet also gave a fac-
tual listing they called "The New
Voters vs. 1008 Margin Win-
ners." They simply calculated
the margin of voters by which
eacli candidate In the 100B elec-
tions won and set that figure
along side the possible number
of new young voters
As your Student Uody
Piesidont I feel McMurry needs
lo Iwcome actively Involved in
the organizational effort that Is
sweeping our country today. Al-
icady your SAG lias joined the
National Student Lobby in an
effort to keep McMurry inform-
ed. Fiom time to time SAG
will be taking polls of different
sorts in cooperation with re-
quests made for the N.S.L.
I ask you as serious minded
students of today to take this
thing seriously. Come by the
SAG office and register to vote
and when we are taking opinion
polk on when we have guest
speakeis to come and speak to
us about the eighteen year old
vote please stop look and lis-
ten so that your up coming vote
will be cast wisely.
