Hawk Sees Less Draft
Deferment in Future
Only men engaged in courses
leading to the professions of medi
cine or dentistry, sophomores who
are accepted for advanced reserve
officer training this spring, and
students enrolled in the National
Guard and other reserve programs
are likely to be deferred from the
draft at the end of the academic
year, Ray Hawk, director of men's
affairs, reported Wednesday.
Hawk explained that although
there are many opinions among
legislators and educators regard
ing the conscription of students,
nothing definite has been announc
ed.
Age Drop Expected
It is expected that Congress will
find it necessary to lower the draft
age to 18 and to extend the period
of service from the present 21
months to 24 or even 27 months,
Hawk said. These measures may be
taken in order to maintain the
needed manpower pool.
Legislation still in the talking
stage might enable some students
of draft age and not in the pre
viously listed categories to remain
in school, Hawk said.
Deferment Tests Possibility
It is possible that a testing sys
tem will be established which will
determine student abilities as a
bass for deferment. Hawk pointed
out that this plan would differ
from that employed during the
past war, in which students were
deferred according to their majors j
and not because of particular abili
ties in their chosen fields.
“Where the line will be drawn
under such a program no one can
say,” Hawk added.
Present plans call for spring
registration of pre-medical and
pre-dentistry students for provi
sional admittance to medical
schools at a future date, Hawk
stated. In some cases the actual
date of entry into medical school
might be three or four years
hence.
This provisional admittance will
be based upon tests, grade point
averages, and recommendations of
instructors.
Athletic Office
To Give Cards
Traditional s ty I e athletic
cards for winter term will be
issued beginning Monday at the
athletic business office in Mc
Arthur Court.
Ticket Manager Darrell Rob
inson emphasized that the cards
will be necessary for admittance
to the Oregon-Idaho basketball
series next weekend.
The office will be open from
8:30 a.m. to 12 noon and 1 p.m.
to 5 p.m. Student body cards
(cash register receipts) must be
presented in order to receive an
athletic cards.
120 Frosh Plus
5 Others Enter
New Program
Of the 141 freshmen men in col
lege dormitories who fell below a
2.00 grade point average fall term,

tary study program Tuesday even
ing after hearing the outline pre
sented by James D. Kline, asso
ciate director of student affairs.
Five other students, not fresh
men, also will take part in the
program. The remaining 21 fresh
men men who did not wish to par
ticipate in the study program in
clude older veterans, and those who
have already solved their special
problems.
The plan, as presented in detail
by Kline, will consist of a super
vised study period from 7 p.m. to
10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday.
French Hall Used
French Hall has been designat
ed as a study hall, and those, parti
cipating in the program will be as
signed rooms alphabetically. Three
men will share a double room, while
two men will occupy the single
rooms. Special chairs and desks
have been placed in the rooms to
facilitate studying. Because of in
adequate lighting facilities, fresh
men living in Vet's Dorms and at
tending the study hall are asked,
to bring their own study lamps.
A counselor will be in charge of?
the program each evening and
members of the faculty or gradu
ate assistants will be present to
offex* assistance in the more diffi
cult lower division courses.
Special consultation rooms have
been set aside so individuals may
discuss their specific problems
wthout disturbing others working'
in the same study room. Rest per
iods will be spaced throughout the
evening.
Program Voluntary

ervised study program is entirely
