76 CUSTOMERS SENIOFRS 18-year-olds face draft Students reach adulthood, chance of combat as boys protest based draft and girls agree to enlist by Patty Kennedy When a young person reaches the age of 18, he or she is recognized as an adult. That recognition brings with it the privileges of vo- ting, buying beer tunless Kansas changes to 195, and being able to rnarry without parental consent. To be 18 also means, for men, the requirement to register for the draft. Al- though the United States is not currently en- gaged in a formal war, young Americans are forced to submit their names to a list of possi- bilities to serve in the Armed Forces in case a draft is re-established. When you first register you think, l hope there isn't a war, ' said senior Kasey Kirk- wood. But you forget about itafter a while. lt's probably unnecessary because if there's a war, everyone would be drafted anyway, senior Art Thomas said. One controversy about registering is the fact that only men must register and women are exempt. 'Alt only seems fair that women should reg- ister too, said Daron Howard senior. Most women agree that, although they don't really want to, it is fair that both sexes should register together because they all live in America and they should all work to de- fend it equally. lf they'd ask me, l'd be willing to go, said senior Michele Engleken. Senior Angela Roberson added, lf women did have to register, I would. If it came down to it, l'd go. The idea of making registration a require- ment of 18-year-old males could be seen by other countries as a negative factor where negotiations are concerned. These nations may see the draft as an act of mobilizing our armed forces. lt would be difficult to talk of peace with the United States when her citi- zens are ready to become soldiers at a mo- ment's notice. This, in itself, should be enough motivation for government officials to at least make registering a voluntary thing - not a requirement. Then and only then would United States citizens, especially 18-year old men, really have the rights guaranteed to them in the constitution. Declaration of Independence. Helping to keep our country free, 18-year-old males register for the draft. Photo by Patty Kennedy. Exif'-fw vfflfl ,, 'tree -em... .

78 CUSTOMERS SENIORS Afnpr-entici take over Pupils collect experience and knowledge as part time teachers, but get graded by professors and cooperating teachers Name: Carrie Wagaman College attended: Washburn Uni- versity ts is i-..4 Name: Kathryn Blair College attended: Washburn Uni- versity Name: Tom Smith College attended: Washburn Uni- versity by Patty Kennedy On the job training is a phrase that brings to mind thoughts of an old master handing on his vast knowledge to a young apprentice. Student teachers are, in a way, the young apprentice, and the classrooms where they spend the final few months of their college educations with certified teachers could be compared to the old master. Three student teachers came to complete their studies or to gain experience in teaching so they would be eligible to receive certifi- cates. Miss Carrie Wagaman worked in Mrs. Gail Naylor's speech and forensic classes, Mrs. Floseann Gish's yearbook class, and Ms. Pat Bonine's newspaper class. Wagaman has a communications arts degree from Washburn University but is now taking education classes in order to receive a teaching certifi- cate. She wants to teach speech after gradu- ating and to coach sports at whatever school she works. The reason I came here is because Silver Lake has the reputation of having a positive attitude. If the kids are positive, the teachers must be doing something right, said Waga- man. When not studying or teaching,Wagaman enjoys running. She lives with her parents in Topeka. She also coaches the Junior Varsity basketball team at Jefferson West. Aiding Mrs. Diana Frownfelter in teaching her home economics and child development classes was Mrs. Kathryn Blair. An education major, Blair hopes to teach secondary home- ec in a school near her home of Emmett. She will be leading discussions in all but three of Frownfelter's classes by the end of the 9 weeks and will be here until May 11. Silver Lake is a lot noisier than the envi- ronment l'm used to, said Blair, but it is really friendly, Some of her favorite hobbies include sew- ing, knitting, crocheting, and camping with her husband Bob, and sons Matt, and Jer- emy, The third student teacher was Mr. Tom Smith. He worked with Mr. C.J. Hamilton's health classes as well as his biology and weight training classes. I chose to come to Silver Lake because of its reputation of being athletically superior, said Smith. A Washburn student, Smith hopes to teach physical education and language arts on ei- ther the college or high school level. ln his spare time, Smith coaches American Legion Post 400 baseball and attends his son's baseball games at Highland Junior Col- lege. He is married and lives north of Topeka with his wife and 6 children. l 9 E 44 5 42 5 2 Z if Z 2 Q i Sheldon James Saia i i 3 5 G 3 Ronald Duane Spence i l l Arthur Charles Thomas
