i 2B Local ingf rkl Dili ly Ne Friday, June 13, 1980 Obituaries Young Springfieldians say draft registration OK i 1 S.N I i i huto to see young people huve to go over und fight, but tliey huve the least obllga-linns, no children, and they're more physically able. Another fraternity member, Tom Alvis, 20, said It's time for registration. "Our country has been threatened. 1 feel kind of smeared, us fur us that's concerned." Another fraternity brother, Gino Trav-line. 25, is too old to register, but he said he missed getting drafted to fight in Vlel-num by one year.

"All other countries In the world have mundutory military service. We ought to get Into something like that loo. It's good for guys with no guidance. We were always strong during peacetime, when there was a draft." John Glaze, 19, Kogcrsville. said he doesn't see a need for registration.

"I don't like it at ull. 1 don't sec any reason why they should have it. We're not going to war," he said. Glaze said, though, that he'd fight for his country if the U.S. becomes involved in war.

LaTisha Burner, 19, an SMS lifeguard, said she agrees with the idea of registration. "I feel the U.S. should he militarily ready. 1 don't think women should go into combat. They can do jobs in offices.

I'd do it, mainly because I think it's the right thing lo do. It's hard to delay your life, but men have to do it," she said. Ms. Burner also said she wouldn't fight in a war like Vietnam. "If It's for the U.S., yes, hut if it's for another country, no." Ed Day, 21, another lifeguard, said he doesn't want to see his 19-year-old brother.

Wil, have lo register, but he said he thinks registration is important. "The country's way behind where they should be militarily," he said. "We have the power to blow a country up or invade it, but not to hold it. I think they should start the draft immediately after registration for training purposes." By SUSAN SORIC The Dally News To counter aggression against America from Iran or any other nation, young Springfieldians are willing to fight, a run-dom sampling on the Southwest Missouri Slate University campus Indicuted Thursday. They responded to news that the Senate has approved President Curler's draft registration for men born In 1960 und 1961.

The Senate made only a minor change from the House bill, so full congressional approv al is expected soon. All of the 19-, 20- and 21 -year-olds Interviewed said they would register and they would not dodge the draft if should be Instituted in America's defense. SMS library worker Brad Fuller, said he'll fight if he has to. "If it's something I have to do, I'll do it," Fuller said. "It wouldn't be a big pleasure trip." Fuller said he doesn't think registration is necessary, though.

"I would fight if it concerned the hostage crisis in Iran, but I'd want to find out a little more about what, the alternatives were." Fuller said he might try to be a conscientious objector if a war were to start' over OPEC and the price of oil or if an-, other war like Vietnam were to start. "I'd go ahead and do It grudgingly. I'm a citizen here. I'll do it. I really have no choice about it, within the limits of the law." Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity member Mike Bennett, 20, said he isn't too excited by the idea of a possible draft, but he'll go if he must.

"I'm not really nuts about going over there and getting shot at. but I'm not opposed to registration for the draft," he said. "If we have to take some kind of action, I think we should." A draft is necessary if America wants to be prepared for war, Bennett said. "I think they have to have a draft because nowadays you're not going" to get enough people to join." he said.

"A man and woman in the same room they really take a look at that," Mrs, Shriver said. "It startles them." Although the positions are uncomfortable, neither he nor his wife have had any pain for quite some time, Shriver said, and neither takes pain medicine. "The Lord has taken care of it, and we don't have to. There's a reason for all of this. Without the prayers and care of all our friends, we would just not have made it," Mrs.
