Don Bolton (Hope), a vain movie star who fears being drafted into the military, suffers an aversion to loud noises -- even fake gunshots on the set. He therefore doubts he would last a day in training. On one occasion, Col. Peter Fairbanks (Clarence Kolb) visits the studio as technical consultant on a war film. He brings his beautiful daughter Tony (Dorothy Lamour) with him. Don plots to marry the colonel's daughter to avoid the draft. After proposing to her, however, he immediately learns that draft eligibility ends at age 31. So Don, who is 32, retracts his proposal. A disgusted Tony accuses him of cowardice.
The 1969 Vietnam draft lottery assigned numbers to birth dates in order to determine which young men would be called to fight in Vietnam. We exploit this natural experiment to examine how draft vulnerability influenced political attitudes. Data are from the Political Socialization Panel Study, which surveyed high school seniors from the class of 1965 before and after the national draft lottery was instituted. Males holding low lottery numbers became more antiwar, more liberal, and more Democratic in their voting compared to those whose high numbers protected them from the draft. They were also more likely than those with safe numbers to abandon the party identification that they had held as teenagers. Trace effects are found in reinterviews from the 1990s. Draft number effects exceed those for preadult party identification and are not mediated by military service. The results show how profoundly political attitudes can be transformed when public policies directly affect citizens' lives.
Eric Lambkins II and Jude Ocañas had been in Kansas City, Missouri, covering the draft for USC Annenberg Media, which is a "student-led multiplatform news media overseen and funded by the USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism," according to its website.
At around 1:20 a.m. on Friday morning, after the first round had already concluded, security footage showed the students walking toward the draft stage, according to a probable cause statement filed by police. At one point, they entered a room called the "Talent Waiting Room," which was adjacent to the "Nike Room." When the students emerged from the room after roughly five minutes, a bag Lambkins had been holding appeared "fuller" than it was previously, police said.
The NFL's vice president of security told police that no one was allowed near the draft stage area at that time and that the students did not have access to the area. Three jerseys with a combined value of $1,050 were reported missing from the Nike room: one Dallas Cowboys jersey, one Minnesota Vikings jersey and one San Francisco 49ers jersey, according to police. All three had the No. 1 with no name printed on the back, which is the type of jersey the NFL gives to players drafted in the first round.
Lambkins is a graduate journalism student and U.S. Army veteran who serves as a managing editor for USC Annenberg Media, according to the outlet. Ocañas is a freshman journalism student. Their trip to the draft was funded by the Annenberg School.
Two USC journalism students covering the NFL draft were arrested while boarding a plane back to Los Angeles in the theft of more than $1,000 worth of first-round draft-pick jerseys, according to the Kansas City, Missouri, Police Department.
Video surveillance showed the two students around 1:20 a.m. Friday entering areas connected to the NFL draft where they did not have access, according to the Police Department. The NFL identified them as Ocañas and Lambkins, police said.
The 24-hour stream of arrests started on Friday with 552 men held on draft charges, said FBI director, J. Edgar Hoover. This is the largest one-day assembly of alleged draft dodgers ever made by the FBI.
The largest number of draft evaders came from New York City with 144 arrests, with 103 on Friday alone. It is the largest in New York history for any federal regulation violation, said E. E. Conroy, special agent in charge of the local New York FBI office.
Despite the record-breaking number of arrests, this is not the first time New York has been host to a mass seizure of draft dodgers. Just two months ago, on March 8, 52 men were arrested for violation of the Selective Service Act, said Conroy, who was the investigation chief for the sweep.
In Baltimore, 32 draft dodgers were seized during the raid, however, the FBI persuaded an additional 186 men to report for induction without prosecution, said special agent E. A Soucy, in charge of the FBI Baltimore field office.
Simmons was selected by the Cardinals with the 10th overall pick in the 1967 June Draft, becoming the first player selected at No. 10 overall to earn Hall of Fame election. Jeter and Simmons bring the total number of first-round draft picks elected to the Hall of Fame to 15 and are a part of the third Hall of Fame Class to feature at least two former first-round picks.
Of the four major professional sports in North America, baseball was the last to implement an amateur player draft behind football (1936), basketball (1947) and hockey (1963). Prior to the draft, high school and collegiate players could sign with any major league club that offered them a contract.
Former Georgia star Jalen Carter, one of the top prospects in next month's NFL draft, has been charged with reckless driving and racing in connection with a crash that killed a teammate and a recruiting staff member.
Offensive lineman Warren McClendon, who had just announced plans to enter the NFL draft, sustained minor injuries. Georgia football staffer Victoria Bowles was hospitalized with more serious injuries.
Carter is the No. 1 prospect in the draft, according to ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. He is not participating in the workout portion of the combine but will conduct interviews with teams and undergo a physical.
Two USC students were arrested in Kansas City after they were allegedly caught on the video stealing more than $1,000 in jerseys of first-round draft picks from the 2023 NFL Draft, which they were covering in journalism school.
The 2023 postseason all-star circuit is over and the NFL draft is here. After HBCU players like James Houston IV, Joshua Williams, Decobie Durant, Ja'Tyre Carter and De'Shaan Dixon all had an impact as rookies last fall, it's time to see who could be the next HBCU prospects to land at the next level.
Florida A&M's Isaiah Land is a former Buck Buchanan Award winner and enters the 2023 NFL draft as one of two HBCU players that received an invite to the NFL combine. Land can immediately contribute on an NFL team as a pass rusher as shown by his 27 sacks in the last two years. Land gets the nod as the top prospect after an impressive Senior Bowl where he had a sack and tackle for loss.
Mark Evans II is the other HBCU prospect with an invite to the NFL combine. Evans played left tackle for much of his career at Arkansas-Pine Bluff, but moved all across the offensive line at the East-West Shrine Bowl. Evans only allowed two sacks in his final season and will likely become the first Golden Lion drafted since Terron Armstead in 2013.
Aubrey Miller championed the Jackson State defense that ranked among the best in the FCS in every category over the last two seasons. Miller, the 2022 SWAC Defensive Player of the Year, followed up an impressive season with seven tackles (five solo) in the Senior Bowl. If Miller is drafted, he'll make it back-to-back years a Jackson State linebacker was selected in the NFL draft (James Houston).
Jadakis Bonds is another standout HBCU wide receiver. Bonds caught 10 touchdowns and averaged 17.4 yards per catch in his final season. Bonds is another big target at 6'4' and uses his catch radius to make impact plays. He caught two passes in the East-West Shrine Bowl.
Xavier Smith is the fastest riser in the 2023 pre-draft process. Fast is an apt word for Smith, who ran a reported 4.3-second 40-yard dash at the HBCU Combine. Smith is on the smaller end as a receiver at 5'10, but that didn't matter when he notched a 1000-yard season at Florida A&M this fall. Smith followed that up by winning HBCU Legacy Bowl Offensive MVP honors after catching six passes for 85 yards and a touchdown.
If you watched a Jackson State game in 2022, Dallas Daniels was hard to miss. He caught six touchdown passes with the Tigers, showing off his speed and explosiveness. Daniels played in the East-West Shrine game during the postseason, catching two passes for 16 yards.
JJ Holloman caught just one touchdown last year, but looks the part of an NFL receiver standing at 6'2 and 215 pounds. Holloman's athleticism is intriguing, and it's part of the reason why he began his career with the Georgia Bulldogs.
Running backs Darius Hagans and Emanuel Wilson each played in the NFL PA Bowl and HBCU Legacy Bowl. Both have boosted their draft stock immensely and have a shot to land with an NFL team, especially after Hagans ran a 4.4 40-yard dash at the HBCU Combine.
On defense, defensive ends Andrew Farmer and Joshua Pryor continue the deep 2023 HBCU defensive line class. Farmer ran a 4.72 40-yard dash, jumped 38 inches in the vertical and jumped 9'10 in the broad jump at the HBCU Combine, while Pryor had two sacks and three tackles for loss in the HBCU Legacy Bowl. In the secondary, cornerback Brandon Barnes-Brown looks to follow in his former teammate and current Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Joshua Williams, who was selected in the fourth round of the 2022 NFL draft.
Most people will get caught up on the impressive combine results of Alabama's Julio Jones. Green's weren't bad by any means (4.48, 40-yard dash, 10'6'' broad jump and 18 reps at the bench press), but the top two receiving prospects will be compared in everything they do.
Green's second-team All-SEC selection in 2010 was well-deserved (Jones made first-team), but it could have been an even better season. A four-game suspension for selling a game-worn jersey derailed Green's chance of putting up bigger numbers as a junior. Still, he caught 57 passes for 848 yards and nine touchdowns. Furthermore, Green caught 50 passes or more each season at Georgia.
