IM3 general yci ICI ai News Young McHenry writer promotes hockey team Selective service sign-up increases Peter Wilt (a real sports bug) is now one of the family of writers promoting the Milwaukee Admirals hockey team. College teaching staff, retired this year and took up residence in Dunedin, Florida. Men in Illinois born 1960-1965 are signing up with Selective Service in increasing numbers according to Ricnard E. Northern, Illinois state director of Selective Service. "Through August 1983, over 526,000 men in Illinois have registered. This represents 93.9 percent of the state's eligible population and compares with a 90.3 compliance percent one year ago," stated Northern. The national compliance is 96.5 percent. Northern credits much of the increase in registrations to a successful identification program. "We've been very successful in identifying and contacting men who are required to register but for some reason have not done so," said Northern. "Crossmatching our files with state driver's license records and using other governmental records and services have produced excellent results," he said. In addition ' to the identification program, H.W. Walls, Selective Service region director for the states of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin, cites a dramatic improvement in public awareness as p&rt of the reason for increased registrations. "The surge in public awareness is partially the result of recently enacted legislation which requires registration with Selective Service in order to participate in some categories of federal aid," said Walls. The law now requires registration as a condition for an federal student aid, also, the new Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) requires men of registration age to be registered to participate in Job Corps and other JTPA programs. • "We will continue current programs and develop new initiatives to ensure that 18 year old men are aware of their legal requirement to register, " said Walls. Men born in 1960 and later can register by going to any U.S. Post Office and filling out a registration form which asks only for his name, address, telephone number, date of birth and social security number.

And looking forward and thinking high; And oreaming little and doing much; It's keeping always in closest touch With what is finest in word and deed; It's daring blithely the field of chance, While making labor a brave romance; It's going onward despite And fighHng staunchly, but keeping sweet: It s being clean and playing fair; It's laughing lightly at Dame Despair; It's looking up at the stars above And dreaming deeply of life and love It's struggling on with will to win, * But taking loss with a cheerful grin; It's sharing sorrow and work, and mirth, And making better this good old earth It's serving, striving through strain j»nd stress It's doing your noblest-that's SUCCESS.
