WORDS OF COMFORT: Shepard Advises Students Not To Ask For Deferment Until They Receive Notice By NEIL BASS Sweating the draft? If so, Gen. F. C. Shepard had comforting words of advice yester day. Shepard is the University co ordinator of military affairs. The general had two primary points of advice to University stu- , dents who are wary of Selective Service: (1) Do not request deferment until you receive notice to re port for physical examination. By doing so you may increase your draft eligibility by ten years. (2) Keep in close contact with your local selective service board. It solely can inform you of your possibility for induction. REQUIREMENTS Concerning necessary scholastic requirements to enable students to remain in school, Shepard released the following information. Students may not be drafted during their freshman year. They may not be drafted during their sophomore year if they were in the upper 50 of their freshman class, upper 66 of their sophomore class, upper 75 of their junior class, and upper 25 of their class in grad uate school.

Senator Huffman began the de bate with an indictment of the two Secretaries for miscalculation and bungling of .Foreign affairs, alien of our traditional allies, and gross overspending in the peace time defense buildup. The negative view was upheld by Senatsr Shaw who cited Dul les for his acquisition of new al lies and his forthrigiit poiicv and praised Secretary Wilson's inte- ritv and frankness. The bill was about to be placed to a vote when the question of the presence of a quorum was rai sed by Senator Shaw. A count of Senators present was taken and the quorum found to be lacking. President Pat Adams adjourned the meeting and a motion was put forward and passed that un excused Senators be fined 50 cents each for their absence. j arc! said, is good only for one aca demic year. If at the end of this probationary year the necessary average is not attained, then the student automatically becomes "I A" and subject to the draft. Other classifications are "ID" which entitles students to "mili tary deferment" by virtue of par ticipation in the Reserve Officers Training Corps, "II-S" which en titlj students to deferment by vir tue of successful maintenance of the necessary academic average. Students who have not been previously called ta report for physicals may not, under any circumstances, be called out of school until they complete the academic year in which they are enrolled. Concerning deferment in gener al Shepard said, "Do not request deferment unless you are certain you will be called. Once you are deferred, you become subject to the draft until you are 36 years of age, rather than the customary 26-year-old limitation." Concerning contact-with respec tive local selective service boards Shepard said, "Your, local board can call you only when you attain a certain age (now 22). Thus it is the best place to go to get infor mation about the possibility of be ing called and when."
