Also to be reclassified are those undergraduate students who because of scholastic rea sons have dropped out of one schbol and are now enrolled lr another college. [ The graduate students whe entered school two or more years ago and who have not ye1 graduated will also l>e eligible for Induction, she said. Those attending technical in stitutes and Industrial educa tion centers will also be inJ eluded in the reclassification.

Prior to Aug. 26, ? married men were not Induct* ed but those Who have married ? since that date haye^been ell* 1 gible to be called. i Also to be reclassified are some of those now in the I-Y 1 category.
