Democratic Party to reform convention nominating system
The Democratic Party plans to name a commission soon to push reforms for the 1972 convention. Provisions from the 1968 Chicago convention include abolishing the unit rule, open primaries or procedures for selecting delegates, and scheduling delegates within the year of the convention. The move aims to empower independents and curb statehouse cliques, with Senator elect Harold Hughes named as a likely chair. Critics say the changes adapt the system without discarding it.

New Headache Looms for Drafts With Graduation Shift
The piece argues that under 1967 draft amendments many more college graduates will be drafted as deferments end. By early 1969 about 30 percent of draftees may be graduates, shifting burden to the educated and older men and fueling rising anti draft sentiment. It calls for a lottery system to replace deferments.
