Hawk to Aid
U of O Draftees
Those registered students who
have passed their physical examin
ation can have letters written by
the office of men’s affairs ask
ing that their induction be post
poned until next June, according
to Ray Hawk, director.
Hawk made it clear that he is
not writing letters for students
who have not yet passed their
physicals, even though they have
received draft notices.
Students classified as 2A this
summer will be reclassified 1A
sometime between registration
week and December. The 2A status
meant only that a man intended
to enroll at the University this
fall, would be above freshman
standing, and was in the upper
half of his class scholastically.
The 1A-P status means that in
duction will be postponed only un
til June, as long as a student is
in good standing. This does not
mean he must be in the upper half
of his class, Hawk assured.
Those who have passed their
physicals, and are registered at
the University, should first write
a letter to their draft boards ask
ing for postponement of their in
duction. Then they can go to
Hawk’s office and ask him to write
a letter backing their statements.

Oregon Educators Advise Draft-Eligible Men
To Continue Studies as Long as Possible
By BOB FOKD
Young men who find themselves
in a quandry over enrolling at col
lege or waiting to be drafted may
find worthwhile counsel in com
ments made this week by state
educators.
Executive officers of the Ore
gon State System of Higher Edu
cation have received many inquir
ies seeking selective service infor
mation from men who are college
age. In answer, the educators
have related many World War II
examples of men delaying their
entrance to school awaiting ser
vice calls only to learn the calls
did not come, or that they were
rejected after reporting for physi
cals.
Keeping this in mind, encourage
ment has been voiced to young
men to attend college right up to
the time of induction.
Induction Postponment
Students who receive their ini
tial call for induction while en
rolled full-time in a college or
university, will, by law, have their
induction postponed to the end of

the academic year.
Deferment of students have been
authorized by national headquart
ers cf Selective Service if they
have completed at least one acade
mic year, if they were in the up
per half of their class during the
last academic year enrolled, and if
they have made arrangements
prior to August 1, 1950, to enroll
in full-time course for the academ
ic year ending in the spring of
1951.
ROTC Units
Military reserve officer units
are operating at both the Univer

Shakeup Seen
In Junior Class,
Beard Ineligible
According to records in the Of
fice of Student Affairs, Willie
Dodds will move into the presi
dency of the junior class.
He was elected vice-president of
the third year class last spring,
losing the presidency to Vernon
Beard by a six-vote margin.
Official records showed that
Beard’s spring term grades were
below the requirement, automati
cally making him ineligible to hold
the presidency which he won last
spring.
However, Beard told the Emer
ald Wednesday night that hi3
spring term grades were above the
2. requirement. He said he thought
some mistake had been made.
B€ard, who is a junior in busi
ness, ran on the Associated Greek
Student ticket and won the top
position with 330 votes. Dodds
polled 324, as the USA candidate.
The ASUO constitution (Arti
cle IV, Section VI) says the ord
er of succession to the office of
president shall be the first vice
president, the second vice-presi
dent, and the secretary-treasurer.
“All student officers of this
association shall have complied
with the academic requirements
of the University of Oregon,” the
constitution also states.
The Executive Council is also
checking grades of all candidates
elected last spring, according to
ASUO president Barry Mountain.
