EVENING TRIBUNE JUL 5 1983

Universities teste by draft-alert edict San Diego universities have been ordered to send letters to thou- sands of financial-aid applicants this month to ask them to comply with a federal order that draftable men register with the Selective Service. University officials said they received a directive yesterday from the U.S. Department of Education instructing them that they have until July 31 lo contact students asking for aid. Under the law, upheld last week by the U.S. Supreme Court, any draft-eligible man 18 to 23 must certify that he has registered with the Selective Service before he can receive financial aid. "We have been told to send out letters to each of the applicants, regardless of whether they are men or women, to see ii they had filled out the statement on draft eligibility," said Tom Rutter, director of financial aid at the University of California at San Diego. "In our case, that would amount to about 5,000 letters." At the University of San Diego, financial-aid director Herb Whyte estimated that his office will mail inquiries to 2.500 students. "It means a lot more work added to our normal workload m pro- cc sing the loans," Whyte said. "If nothing else, the post office will benefit from this." San Diego State University is in a more fortunate position, because many of its aid applicants already had filled out statements regarding their draft status, said aid officer Tom Pearson. "We provide financial aid each year to upwards of 10,000 students," he said. "Fortunately, most of the students who returned the material we had mailed them originally responded to the question of heir draft eligibility, so, in our case, it isn't as bad as it first seemed when the Supreme Court ruling came down. "Now we're trying to identify those who haven't replied to the query, and we'll send letters to them to ascertain their status." Pearson could not estimate how many letters his office will have to send. Rutter said he hoped that Congress would delay implementation of the order for at least six months to give schools and students - many of whom are out of town on summer vacation - time to comply. "I hope they will see the complexity of the situation and ~ive us a grace period," Rutter said. "Actually, this whole issue has changed so many times that we're trying not to overreact. "First, we were told by the U.S. Department of Education that the students must certify that they have registered. Then, last March, a federal judge in Minnesota ruled the law unconstitutional, and we were instructed not to ask the students if they had registered. "Then, last week, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the Jaw, and we're back to right where we started. "Frankly, I don't think this is the last we will hear; of this. It may be changed again." By Joseph Thesken Tribune Education Writer 'It means a lot more work added to our normal workload in processing the loans'

"We pr()(' ed all next year's ma- tenal, assummg the Minnesota in- Junction would be in force," said Rutter. "Our decision was not to send out the draft compliance sta te- ments" Rutter said he believes Congress will quickly enact legislation post- ponmg thP effect of the law for a year to give the colleges some breathing pace. "That's what I hope will happen " Meanwhile. he said, the ub1ect will be d1SCus.c;ed at next week's an- nual convention of the National Asso- ciation of Student Financial Aid Ad- m101. trators in Anaheim. About 800 school will be represented, said Rutter, and the guest of honor will be Sen Claiborne Pell, D-R.I., creator of the Pell Grants. one of the federal government's biggest aid programs. Rutter said his decision on how to comply would be based largely on what he learns al the convention . Rather than try to contact all 6, students a fected during the sum(ller, he aid, he might wait until they r- rive on campus in September and have them sign the forms then. "Olh- crwi e, we have lo try to find them all, thousands of people out there liv- ing their ummer lives. How to find them would be a major problem," A ked 1f grants would be delayed for students who wait untll Septem- ber for the forms, Rutter said, I hope not.' But federally underwritten bank loans, he added, could be delayed as long as eight weeks, because of the additional paperwork they require. "The best thing to tell people," said Whyte, "is that if the school has not contacted you, you should contact the school and pick up a form before Aug. 1 to guarantee you get the money. If you are contacted by the school, comply immediately."
