I talked to Mrs. Herkins this morning to see if you had
received any call from your draft board at Beardstowm. She stated
that only a yellow card had come te you stating that you were
placed in I~A, Ce | |

f em sending you a copy of an article that was in Friday's
Journal-World. If you arg placed in 1-A you oan get into either
the Army or Navy if you gan pass your physical, and still attend
the University of Kansas next year. Of course you would heave to
enroll at the University before your call for induction takes plese
from your draft board. 1% is possible now to enlist, as the paper
states any time from now wmtil sehool begins the middle of Septemb—
er, but of sourse if yow draft board calls you then it will doubt~
less be too late to get into this. :

Wot knowing of this, I took Charlie Black to the Wyandotte
County Court House ss Naar City, Kansas, this past Wednesday end
Thursday, and he passed his mental in the Aviation Cadet service;
84 was passing and he made a grede of 108, which is considered ex
cellent. On Tuesday morning at 6:15 aeme I am to take him to ,
Leavenworth, Kensas, for his physical. I eam quite sure that he will
pass, and then so long as he makes his grades he will be enabled to
stay in the University. If he fails of course he will be in the
aviation service.

your case. Herely ng thet you are going to be drafted doesn't

offer you amything except to be drafted, But if you want to return

still go to school but it would be necessary for you, of course, to
