Canada Said Trying to Stop Immigration Draft Dodgers By JIM KIMBALL KaMraui SUIT Writer Is Canada clamping down on draft dogers? A Canadian stu dent peace group says you. A Canadian immigration official has told the Emerald no Student Union for Peace Ac tion (SUPA) in Toronto said in a newsletter: "It now appears that draft age min may not be able to gain landed immigrant status any more. Not because they will be refused, but most likely because their applications will not be act ed upon.” SUPRA says "there have been several instances of peo pie being quizxed as to their draft status at the border" and indicates that merely showing up at the border without going through the immigration Office will no longer work. Contacted in Vancouver, B.C., T R. Corbett, district admission supervisor for the Pacific Office of the Canadian Immigration ser vice. said his office's policy hasn't changed; it neither encourages nor discourages males who are evading the draft to enter Can ada. It is not a factor because Canada has no draft law. Corbett admitted that an ap Volcanoes Topic Of Williams Talk Howell Williams, who has done concentrated research on vol canoes of the Oregon country, will give a public address on vol canic eruptions at 8 p.m. Monday in 123 Science. His topic is particularly perti nent in this area, which has been the scene of violent volcanic ac tivity in the past and which has the potential of future eruptions. The Oregon country is considered part of the Pacific "ring of fire,” a region of potential earth move ment and “fireworks.” plicant may 1>e quizzed about his draft status, but that could not be the deciding factor. He insisted that he does not know of any one refused landed immigrant status in Canada be cause he is trying to escape the draft. 'Tt is not more difficult now to enter Canada.” He added, “I know there are a number of pco pie who have entered Canada to evade the draft." The process of entering Cana da is not simple. One must show he has the skills and ability to support himself once in Canada. After that he faces a medical test. Corbett’s office is not required Deferment Policy Gets Reevaluation PORTLAND (Special)—Male students may not be required to take 15 hours a term by their draft boards after all. But they are required to com plete a year’s work in a calen dar year and complete their ed ucation in four calendar years. W. D. Purvlne, president of Oregon Technical Institute, told the Committee on Finance and Business Affairs of the State Board of Higher Education Fri day that he bad been told that by Spargue Carter, director of the Selective Service System in Oregon. Purvine said students would be allowed to make up deficien cies in number of hours in the summer if they did not take a full load during the academic year But Miles Popovitch, dean of administration at Oregon State, said Oregon State had had some : students drafted with less than | 15 hours. "It’s usually up to the draft 1 boards,” added University Pres ident Arthur S. Flemming to state a reason for refusing an applicant, nor is the decision ap pealable. Corbett says “there is no basis for exclusion or deportation of anyone just because he is seek ing to escape the draft." If the applicant is OKed by Cor bett’s office, he still must clear the officer at the border. Accord ing to Corbett the officer has an arbitrary right to refuse admis sion to anyone, even if his pa pers are in order. However, such a decision may be taken to the Immigrations Appeal Board. The applicant must await the decision in his own country. Corbett said he does have ap plications from males of draft age pending, but said he had no tabulation of the rate at which such applications are coming in and what percentage are being approved.
