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.

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.
