Resister sentenced to two years of public service
Enton Eller a 21 year old Bridgewater College honors student in mathematics and physics, was convicted for refusing to register for the draft on religious grounds. United States District Judge James Turk ordered two years of unpaid public service at a Veterans Administration hospital or similar facility. The case marks the first resister convicted since mandatory registration resumed two years ago. The U S attorney said he is satisfied with the sentence but jail might deter others. Eller may delay reporting until graduation in June.
