General

Letters. Counselor at Draft, GI and Vets Counseling Center ~ Letter to Gordon From Mary with a "Counselors Newsletter" and an article from The New York Times attached. Gordon writes a reply letter to Mary. ~ Mary writes to Gordon to discuss at length the CO status issues by the Selective Service. She claims that some of Gordon's points only confuse the issue, rather than clarifying it, and that the educated can easily obtain CO status, but the undereducated do not even know about it. She includes a statement of "SSS Official's Attitude Toward COs" and an article entitled "Carter Urged to Define Penalties for Avoiding Draft" from The New York Times. Gordon replies thank you for your letter, that he thinks the public position of the Selective Service is a PR front and he is still very wary of it. ~ 8/14 (Mary), 8/30 (Gordon)
