EUCiKNJO </!’) Orcgon'n state
colleges will draw Just hm many
(reshmen next fall as they did last
full because of the executive order,
Chancellor Charles I>. Byrne pre
dicted late last week.
Earlier, a 10 per cent enrollment
drop had been foreseen. That figure
now Is ‘•excessive," he said.
His comments followed receipt
of a letter from the Department
of Defense, darlfyll g the govern
meat's views on formal education.
The letter, signed by Assistant .Sec
retary of Defense Anna M. Rosen
berg, said that "the armed forces
earnestly desire ttiat every Ameri
can acquire the maximum formal
education within Ids capabilities."
Byrne had asked for a statement,
on the defense department's posi
tion. Mrs. Rosenberg's letter said
the position was "unequivocal. The
services recognize fully the contri
bution that American colleges and
universities make to our nations I
defense. Each service has more
need than ever before for highly
trained and specially skilled men
and women."
Byrne pointed out that the pre
sent draft deferment under execu
tive order for students passing
special examinations does not elim
inate military service. Rather, he
said, it "merely enables qualified
students to continue their educa
tion without interruption before
serving in the armed forces. It
means basically that the nation’s
needs In science, technology, medi
cine, dentistry and other special
ized areas will not be shut off for
the duration of the emergency.”
Spring term enrollment at the
University has dropped only about
6 per cent since winter term as
compared to a 7 per cent drop re
ported at Oregon State College.
