Selective Service Tests
Selective Service officials today
reminded colleKe students that the
deadline for submittinE applica
tions for the November 19 Selec
tive Service Qualification Test is
midnight November 2 (Monday),
and that applications postmarked
after that time cannot be consid
ered.
Local boards have an adequate
supply of test application blanks
on hand for draft-eligible students.
Students are to mail their com
pleted applications to Educational
Testing Service of Princeton, New
Jersey.
To be eligible to apply for the
college qualification test a student
must (1) intend to request defer
ment as a student; (2) be satisfac
torily pursuing a full-time course
of instruction; and (.3) must not
have previously taken the Selec
tive Service College Qualification
Test.
Another test will be held April
22. 1954, but students whose acad
emic year will end in January 19.54
have been urged to take the No
vember 19, 1953 test so they will
have a test score in their cover
sheets before the end of their
academic year, at which time their
boards will be open and reconsider
their cases to determine whether
they should be again deferred as
students.
The present criteria for defer
ment as an undergraduate student
are either a satisfactory score
(70) on the Selective Service Col
lege Qualification Test or specified
rank in class (upper half of the
males in the freshman class, up
per two-thirds of the males in the
sophomore class, or upper three-
fourths of the males in the junior
class).
Students accepted for admission
or attending a giaduate school
prior to July 1, 1951, satisfy the
criteria if their work continues to
be satisfactory. Graduate students
admitted or attending after July
1, 1951, must have been in the
upper half of their classes during
their senior year or make a score
of 75 or better on the test. It is
not mandatory for local boards to
defer students who meet the cri
teria-
General Hershey has emphasiz
ed many times that the criteria are
a flexible yard stick used to guide
th local boards and that the stan
dards may be raised any time neces
sary for manpower demands.
The two forthcoming adminis
trations of the College Qualifica
tion Test represent the fourth
series of test in the program. The
November 19 test will raise the to
tal number tested since May 26,
1951, to a little more than 500,000
men.

Fred Allen; I like long walks,
especially when they are taken by
people w’ho annoy me.
Robert Frost: A bank is a place
where they lend you an umbrella
in fair weather and ask for it back
again when it begins to rain.
Sigma Lambda Chi began the
year by setting up a tentative
schedule which consisted of week
ly meetings, socials, and special
events. The third weekly meeting
was turned into an “Open House”
for all male students of the Col
lege. The purpose of this meeting
was to determine who was inter
ested in becoming fraternity mem
bers.
On the 10th of October the Pecan
Grove had the honor of having this
Charlotte College fraternity as
their patrons. (Incidentally if any
one would like a good laugh, ask
one of the members about the
Homme-Femme incident). The
steaks were delicious and the cof
fee—Gunnells’ first request,
“where’s the coffee?” Everyone
had a good time-
A paper-drive was held on Oc
tober 24. Proceeds from the drive
will go into scholarship funds from
which an award is made annually
to a Charlotte College student.
(Don’t let your talents go to waste,
students; you may win.)
Official Charlotte College decals
will go on sale upon their arrival
if the Student Council approves.
At present there is some opposi
tion to the fraternity handling
these decals.
Twelve students have been of
ficially inducted as pledges to the
fraternity. A few more may be
enlisted as pledges before the
quarter ends.
BOB LEDFORD.
GIGGLES
A microbe, swimming along a
blood vein, came face to face with
another microbe who looked ex
tremely ill. “What’s the matter
with you, my poor friend?” he
asked.
“Oh! Don’t come near me!” the
other replied. “I’m afraid I’ve
caught a little penicillin!”
A great big beautiful car drew
up to the curb where the cute little
working girl was waiting for the
bus. A gentleman stuck his neck
out and said, “Hello, I’m driving
west.” “How wonderful!” said the
girl. “Bring me back an orange.”
