IFC Hears Draft Explanation from Hawk
The draft situation as pertaining
to college students was one of the
big items discussed by the Inter
Fraternity council Thursday.
Ray Hawk, director of men's af
fairs explained to the council that
many draft boards arc tightening
their requirements for deferments,
but that as far as the office of
student affairs knew, the academic
qualifications for scholastic defer
ments are the same as Before.
Under previous rulings by state
draft boards freshmen must be in
the upper scholastic half of the
freshman in order to be eligible for
deferment during their sophomore
year. Sophomores must rank scho
lastically in the upper two thirds
of the sophomore men for junior
year deferment and juniors must
rank in the upper three fourths of
the junior men to be deferred for
their senior year. Seniors wishing
to go on to graduate school must
rank scholastically in the upper
half of their class, Hawk said.
Necessary GF.Vs
CPA's necessary last year to
meet these requirements were for
freshman 2.2; for sophomores 2.25:
for juniors 2.15 and for seniors 2.0,
Hawk said.
Hawk urged all men to take the
selective service college deferment
test as an additional precaution.
He said that many draft boards
are putting heavy emphasis on the
result as basis for deferment. A
passing grade in the test is 70
points.
As for enrollment in the Univer
sity, Hawk said that Oregon draft
boards are requiring men to take a
minimum of 12 hours work each
term. California boards require 15
hours per term. Hawk warned that
once a man went below these term
hour requirements, he is vulner
able for the draft, even if he takes
more hours the next term.
University Reports
Hawk also said that the Univer
sity is now required by law to
make a complete report to the stti
