Approved for public release; distribution unlimited / What is the political feasibility of a peacetime draft? Throughout this nation's history, the military manning debate has focused upon two separate schools of thought. On the one hand, there are those who believe that a "professional" force, comprised of experienced, career military personnel, is needed for national defense. At the same time, others have argued that a force composed of armed citizens is the best expression of democratic, "citizensoldier" ideals. A return to conscription has been proposed as the best means of remedying the deficiencies resulting from a market-based recruiting system. However, the fact is that Americans are quite satisfied with the current system (according to a 1984 survey). This thesis seeks to place the draft revival question within the framework of the philosophical and historical issues that have helped to shape the nation's attitudes toward military service. A major conclusion of the study is that political acceptability of a peacetime draft in the United States is highly questionable. / http://archive.org/details/assessmentofpoli00batt / Lieutenant, United States Navy

This thesis investigated the distribution of Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA) Public Service Employment (PSE) funds to counties in Indiana from a rural-urban perspective. A four-prong approach was employed to determine if nonmetropolitan areas in Indiana had received an equitable share of the total Public Service Employment funds, Titles II and VI, allocated in Indiana. Relative need, as indicated by shares of population, unemployment, and disadvantaged, was calculated; the severity of barriers to employment opportunity were assessed; the efficiency and costs of program operation were examined; and, population growth and migration was reviewed.In addition, this thesis attempted to ascertain if alternative distribution mechanisms (formulas) might allocate the manpower funds in a more equitable fashion. / Department of Urban Planning
