New Order
Indicates
Deferment
The new executive order deferr
ing college students from the draft
on the basis of scholastic achieve
ment should not be considered any
thing but a postponement of in
duction, according to Lyle M. Nel
son, director of public services.
In order to clear up any mis
understanding arising from the
new draft policy. Nelson pointed
to the philosophical basis for the
change. Realizing that the United
States cannot cope with the Rus
sian and Chinese masses man for
man, the government has become
aware of the necessity of making
the most effective use of the man
power it has. Congress, therefore,
passed the recent legislation with
the hope that in deferring the more
promising college students these
will have greater potentiality for
service to their country, Nelson
explained.
The new Congressional draft pol
icy regarding college students is
based upon the Trytton report, sub
mitted by an Educational Advisory
Committee to Director of Selective
Service Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Her
shey, Nelson said.
"This i the newly announced de
ferment plan* does not mean that
anyone Is getting-out of serving in
the armed forces," Nelson stated
emphatically.
University officials have known
for some time the possibility of
such a move by Congress and ac
cordingly. have followed a positive
policy of advising students to at
tain and maintain a high grade
point average. Nelson added.
