Probing gun mail-order and registration laws, the editorial staff of
the NILEHILITE has found that these laws are obscure, to say the least.
In light of recent occurrences with which we are certain the student

usually does not concern itself with national or statewide issues, we feel
that this editorial is thus justified.
We have found that anyone can obtain a gun by„ mail. This in

me°To c ^ b a T th rjro w in g evil, Senator Thomas J. Dodd of Connect!cutt has been waging an incessant war for the passage of an important
regulatory bill on the national level. This positive and reasonable bill
requires the prospective mail-order purchaser to enclose a notarized
affidavit with his order indicating his name, address, age, crime convictions, and the fact that he has adhered to local and state registration and possession laws.
The bill has not been passed as yet, but Senator Dodd has asked
for state and local aid in this important endeavor.
The Illinois State Legislature is aware of the far-reaching implications of these regulatory laws, but more citizen support would further
enlighten our legislators. Chicago's Mayor Daley has expressed his concern in his recent campaign drives. The NILEHILITE urges all responsible

Students Debate Draft,
Lottery, Grad Deferments
WHETHER 19-YEAR OLDS should be drafted first, whether a lottery system should be initiated, and
whether college students should be granted deferments are among the questions being considered in the
rewriting of the present draft legislation, which is due to expire June 30.
Though there are many conflicting proposals, Congress is expected
(according to TIME, March 17) to compromise. Deferments are ex
pected to be granted only to those graduate students who are in medi
cine, dentistry, the ministry, or areas essential to national defense.
Also anticipated is the adoption of a lottery system whereby names of
all eligible 19-year olds would be placed in a pool with the necessary
number of draftees chosen by chance from the pool.
Explain Views
Niles East upperclassmen, be
ginning to feel the pressure of the
draft, have a variety of opinions
on the proposed lottery system.
Many expressed an uncertainty of
the system. Senior Bob Johnson
points out, “Under the lottery sys
tem you have no idea of how you
stand. You’re uncertain as far as
your future goes for at least a
year.”

leaders in all fields by interrupting
their academic careers at too early

ANOTHER GROUP of students
feels the lottery is better than the
present system, however, they have
additional recommendations. Junior Jeff Simon commented, “I’m
in favor of a modified lottery system with undergraduate deferments

the corners of his mouth, brushes his teeth gaily
with a curl of his lip, smiles his way through first
period, and by 5B has such a broad grin stretched
over his face that you wish he’d gargled with ce
ment.
HIS REPERTORY includes knowing smiles for
all situations that demand understanding, sardonic
smiles for the times he feels bitter, smirks as a
cover for constrained mirth, and a general all-pur
pose grin that can be used for everything from
speeches to telephone conversations. (He’s never
caught without one, even when no one’s looking.)
The fact that I’m picketing gregarious grinners
does not mean that I’m against all forms of the
smile. A smile is a way to express happpiness, but
that is the flaw in the perpetual smiler’s creed: they
use the one facial expression to cover all their emo
tions.
THEY ARE sneaky. A smile masks their anger
or revenge, their displeasure and disapproval. No
one ever knows what a PSU member is really think
ing, and idea which, if extended, could make Hu
bert Humphrey the worst threat to national security
since Benedict Arnold.
The key to arbitration in this dispute is moder
ation. An occasional frown would enhance the
meaning of a smile. I don’t encourage violence to
settle the matter. Do not sock a PSU member in his
prominently displayed teeth. A vacant grin is the
worst of all.
“One day we went to the pyra
mids,” explained Sophomore Lynn
Shutan. “Three of my girl friends
and I climbed to the top of the
two highest ones. After descending
from the pryamids, we walked
down a road for about three miles
looking for the bus.
Having gone too far, w© turned
and discovered Mr. Da Rosa and a
bug full of lunchless kids who had
been looking for us for an hour.”
“That same night we left a Mex
ican party in five taxicabs. I was
in the last one,” explained Sopho
more Lynn Shutan.
“THE DRIVER, who spoke only
Spanish, said something about
Vera Cruz. We didn’t really under
stand what, but, out of courtesy,
my friend repiled, ‘Si!’ ”
“When we got to the freeway, we
realized we were headed in the
wrong direction.
“The funniest part is that we
hadn’t even been missed. The guy
who was counting the cabs as they
cam© in had miscounted!”

Baseball Opener Called
With East Trailing, 4-3
BASEBALL RETURNED to the
East sports spotlight Tuesday
when the Varsity diamondmen
traveled to Nilehi West for the sea
son opener. The cold, windswept
game was called after five innings
because of darkness with the Tro
jans trailing 4-3.
East put three runs across in
the first inning on a five-hit at
tack. Seniors Larry Acker, Bruce
Gershenzon, Steve Sylvan, and
Junior Phil Liebowitz singled;
while Senior Jeff Rose blasted a
drive deep to left-centerfield for
a home run.
TWO ERRORS and a hit, after
two outs, allowed West to score two
runs off Senior Pitcher Gene Rotberg in the bottom of the first.
Rotberg left the game with one
out, one run in, and the bases
loaded in the bottom of the sec

East's New Football Coach
Cites Great Potential in Team
“EAST’S FOOTBALL team seems to have the ability, but we have
to develop it into 48 minutes of effort.”
Mr. James Harkema, newly named varsity football coach at East
made this statement after viewing the films of many of last year’s
football contests. The new coach is extremely enthusiastic about his
new position, according to Assistant Principal Arthur Colver, and
commented that he “would like to
start working with the team to
morrow.”

before he could retire the side.
Both teams went three up, three
down in the third and fourth inn

portunity in the fifth, East left the
potential tying and lead runs on
first and third base.
TWO OTHER non-league con

Although only 25 years old, the
coach already has a formidable
background. As an undergraduate
at Kalamazoo College in Michi
gan, he was a three-year star
quarterback. A f t e r graduating
from college, he spent three years
as head coach of the Gull Lake
Community High School. In 1965,
he was named coach of the year
by the local sports writers there.
Last year, he returned to Kalama
zoo College, this time as a gradu
ate student and as offensive backfield coach of the football team.
IN A RECENT interview with
JAMES HARKEMA
the “Skokie News,” the coach
said that the one thing that imr
pressed him the most about the
team was “E ast’s ability to fire
out and play hard-hitting football.”
He felt that “football-wise, there
is great potential here, but I also

Doubles Team Strong
According to the coach, the doublea teams will figure highly in the
Trojans’ strength this year. The
number one doubles pair, conir

seniors, will possibly be first or

Sports Editor
THE SLEEPER in this year’s N.B.A. college draft will be Earl
Monroe from Winston-Salem College in North Carolina,
This phenomena averaged 52 points a game while hitting on 62.5
P®r cent of his shots from the field.
Lacey a “Sleeper”
Another sleeper is Edgar Lacey of U.C.L.A. The Bruin star was
sophomore player of the year two seasons ago while playing on U.C.
L.A.’s second national championship team.
LACEY MISSED this season because of a leg injury. He and Mike
Lynn (suspended this year for forgery) will be back next year with
Lew Alcindor. This is why the Bruins won’t lose a basketball game
until December of 1969.
Bulls to take Monroe .
The draft of the N.B.A. should go something like this. The Detroit
Pistons will pick first and should take Mel Daniels of New Mexico,
Baltimore will select.next and will choose Jimmy Walker. The Chicago
Bulls, picking third, will take Monroe. The rest of the selection is any
one’s guess.
GRANTED, the Chicago White Sox do have a great pitching staff,
but their hurlers are also their best hitters. Their bark is Eddie Stanky’s
lamyx and their bite is his teeth, constantly chattering. That is why
they will finish fifth and no better.
3 ^ Pittsburgh Pirates and Detroit Tigers will win the pennant..
eventually.
