Future Ducks to Preview Campus Life,-i
Busy Weekend Planned for Guests
The agenda is packed for the
second annual Duck Preview week
end, this Friday, Saturday, and
Sunday, according to the calendar
of events arranged by committee
chairmen.
Between 600 and 800 high school
seniors are expected for the week
end activities, designed to give
prospective University students a
glimpse of college living. Similar
, programs are planned at the same s
I time for six ether state campuses.
The program begins Friday after
; noon with registration in the Stu
dent Union, and ends with ex

Washington Announces New
Selective Service Regulations
A bulletin explaining policies and
procedures under new Selective
Service regulations, recently an
nounced by national headquarters
in Washington, D. C., has been re
ceived by the President’s office,
according to Howard R. Lemons,
assistant.
According to the bulletin, post
ponement of the time of service of
college students will be granted on
one of two bases: (1) capacity to
learn as evidenced by a national
test, and (2) scholastic perform
ance as evidenced by class stand
ing.
Both of these standards, Lem
ons pointed out, are variable and
may be raised or lowered depend
ing upon national manpower re
quirements. In addition, they now
apply only to students already in
college.
All University students subject
to selective service should im
mediately request Form 106 or
107 from their local draft boards,
Lemons said. This is the new form
with which the student applies to
take the national aptitude test to
be given this spring.
Lemons emphasized the import
ance of writing for the form and
making arrangements to take the
aptitude test. Because the proposed
deferment standards are flexible,
especially as they apply to defer
ment on the basis of class standing,
all students should take the test,
he said. Reserve Officer Training
Corps students, especially those in
the basic program, also should use
their means of establishing their
test score. Lemons added.
Deferments are made solely on
the basis of the national interest
and not to suit the convenience of
the student, Lemons pointed out.
Thus service to the country is not
waived in the case of college stu
dents, but merely postponed until
completion of college work, he
stated.
