District Judge James Doyle of Madison refused to dismiss a legal challenge to the lottery made on Dec, 22 by David S. Stedolsky, a graduate student in computer planning at the University of Wisconsin, and 12 other young men.
While the average of numbers for any month should be 183, the average numbers for the first six months of the year areall higher than 183 while those of the last six months are all below it.
Regardless of Doyle's final decision, the new draft system is causing a great deal of confusion. Many men in the top one-third of the drawing, feeling safe, have turned in their deferments.
But many state selective service directors have warned that the vulnerability of all men who become available is very high regardless of their sequence number.
In another draft-related decision. the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia, ruled Jan. 2 that it is unconstitutional to change a person's draft status to 1A because he has turned in or burned his draft card.
