Episode 4 // Join Wentworth and See the World: Selective Service and Exeter

This episode is a little bit different than the ones in the past. We're going to be tackling the issue of Selective Service, or registering for the draft.

All eligible male citizens of the US are required to register with Selective Service once they turn 18. I along with many of the other Seniors and P.G's in Wentworth Hall have recently turned that age, yet it seems like most of the guys don't know they have to register. Nor are they aware of the reprecussions which they may face if they fail to register.

In our episode about the Selective Service System, we investigate what it really is, why it exists, and whether it should exist.

This episode was produced as a final project for History 550 | Politics and Public Policy. Thanks to Mr. Jordan and the rest of D format for a lit term.
