MR, DAVID JONES MR. GARRY EWING Photos by Van Hoose Draft Director Tarr States Student Policy The Selective Service System clarified expected policy chan ges on undergraduate student deferments. College students who were enrolled full-time in the 1970- 71 academic year will be eligi ble for student deferments in the 1971-72 school year if they continue to make satisfactory progress in their programs of study. Selective Service offi cials said. However, young men who entered school for the first time this summer and those who enroll as freshmen this fallwill not qualify for student defer ments if the pending changes to the Selective Service Act are passed by Congress, The House has completed action on the bill and final Senate action is ex pected in September. Dr, Curtis W, Tarr, Selec tive Service Director, said: “Few incoming freshmen stu dents are likely to be induct ed in the near future because of the student deferment phase out, Of the 1,034,000 incoming freshmen males estimated by the Office of Education, appro ximately 80% are 18 years old and only 20% are 19 years of age or older. The 18 years olds will receive their lottery numbers in 1972, and they will not be subject to induction until 1973, when draft calls should be low. The 19 year old freshmen received their lottery numbers August 5 of this year and will be subject to induction next year; at least 1/2 should have high enough lottery numbers to pre clude their induction. Of those remaining, approximately 50% will be disqualified on mental, moral or physical grounds. This means that a maximum of 50,000 men will be directly affected in 1972 by the student deferment phaseout and one- half of these, or 25,000will pro bably not be inducted because of enlistments in Regular, Re serve or National Guard units, participating in commissioning programs or because or proce dural delays.
