Deferment System To Be Explained
CR
A meeting of all men students will be held at 4 p.m. today in Hoch auditorium to hear an explanation of the new draft deferment examination.
Men with 4 p.m. classes will be excused from their classes if they desire to attend the meeting. Chancellor Deane W. Malott has notified faculty members that men students may be excused.

The examinations, which will determine if college men may be deferred from the draft, will be held on Saturday, May 26, and will be repeated June 16 and June 30 for students who have started their college careers and plan to continue in college.
Instructions about the test, along with application blanks, will be available at the draft board offices about Thursday, April 12.
UNIVERSITY DAILY
Seniors and other students planning to enter graduate or professional schools will also be able to take the aptitude tests.
Students in a professional school of medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, osteopathy or optometry will be deferred without examination, according to an executive order issued by President Truman.
College students will have only one chance to pass the new test for deferment from military service. This was revealed in an information bulletin being sent to state draft directors by Selective Service director Lewis B. Hershey. The bulletin also lists the 1,000 places where the educational testing service will give the examinations, and contains 30 sample questions that students are likely to encounter.
Lawrence and 19 other cities in Kansas are among those places.
"Anyone who is in the prescribed upper percentage of his class (also not yet determined) will be considered for deferment regardless of the score he makes on the test," an official said.
It was reported that under the regulations to be issued, women will not be counted in determining the upper half of a college class, thus opening the way for more males to quality for deferment.
The tests will be designed to determine a student's capability for learning rather than his present fund of knowledge.
Tests for high school seniors and others intending to go to college will be given after they have commenced their first year of college.
Hershey's bulletin said "the test presupposes no schooling beyond the ordinary high school preparation for college." However, it contains questions involving algebra and geometry and requires a working vocabulary including such words as "Esoteric," "Immolate," and "Machinate."
US Fighters Down Three Red Jets
U. S. Fifth Air Force Headquarters, Korea—(U.P.)-American jet pilots shot down three Soviet-built MIG-15 jet fighters and damaged three more in a 30-minute aerial battle just south of the Manchurian border today, the fifth air force reported.
For the first time in the war, American pilots reported the communist jets were marked with red noses and red stars on their wings. Enemy jets previously were unmarked.
Fuel in the American jets rail low after a 25-minute battle during which pilots reported they may have scored hits on two enemy jets.
The shooting stars then turned the fight over to 29 F-34 sabrejets, which ripped into the Reds and shot down three in a vicious five-cat battle. The sabrejets also damaged another enemy plane.
Capt. James Jabara, Wichita Kan., was credited with destroying one MIG-15 and damaging another. The second enemy jet was destroyed by Maj. Ben H. Emmert, Jr., Phoenix, Ariz.
Three former University students were killed in the Korean war during the past year. They were Lt. Bill D. Stanton, Lt. Jerry P. Flynn, and M-Set. Leonard M. Tally.
Three From KU Killed In Korea
Lieutenant Stanton served in World War II with the 359th fighter squadron in the China-Burma-India theater. He was a senior, majoring in industrial management, before he returned to active duty in October 1948.

Lieutenant Stanton was the son of Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Stanton, Lawrence. His wife lives in San Angelo, Texas, where he was stationed as a flight instructor before going overseas.
Lieutenant Flynn, a student at the University in 1948, was killed on patrol in Korea.
Shortly before his death he wrote to his aunt, Mrs. Frank Carroon, Tulsa, "I wonder if the people in the United States actually realize how precious the freedom they take for granted is. Remind the folks around there that if they want to continue to live in a free land they'd better wake up and do more and more to preserve and safeguard their freedom."
Sergeant Tally was killed in action in Korea Sept. 19. Tally was a student at the University from 1937 to 1938 and from 1945 to 1946.
His parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Flynn, Stafford, received word of his death Dec. 15. He was 21 years old.

Scientists at the Universities of Kansas, Pittsburgh, Utah, and Southern California are completing a search to identify all the different viruses that cause polio in human beings.
Polio Research Nears Results
"We have succeeded in grouping about 50 strains of poliomyelitis viruses," Dr. Herbert A. Wenner, director of the research at the K.U Medical Center, said.
Dr. Wenner, associate professor of pediatrics and bacteriology and chairman of the school research committee, and Dr. Edward Rabe, assistant professor of pediatrics and instructor in public health and preventive medicine, are working on the research problem with the aid of four assistants: Charles Cornett, Miss Marion Jenson, Paul Kamitsuka, and Miss Ann Monley.
The meeting in Kansas City will be held Thursday under the auspices of the Kansas City section of the Institute of Radio Engineers Kleist will then attend the district convention of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers Friday, April 20, in Austin.
Robert Kleist, engineering senior, was selected Monday night to represent the K.U. branch of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers and the Institute of Radio Engineers at conventions in Kansas City, Mo., and Austin, Texas.
A successful conclusion to the three-year search could mean development of a vaccine to protect mankind against the disease.

"I believe my stand on campus issues is clear," Logan said. "I look forward to the privilege of carrying out that program as president. F.A.C.T.S. will present a united slate with one constructive platform regardless of who wins."

College Students To See Advisers Again This Week
Freshmen and sophomores in the College should see their advisors during the mid-semester advising period from Wednesday through Saturday morning.
College students may learn who their advisors are and their office hours from the College bulletin board across from the College office, 229 Strong hall.
Any student unable to see his advisor during the regular office hours should call and make an appointment. Gilbert Ulmer, assistant dean of the College, said.
"We hope every freshman and sophomore in the College will see his advisor," Dean Ulmer said. "The advising period gives every student a chance to have personal contact with a faculty member interested in helping him with his college career. This is part of our effort to give individual attention to students."
"Freshmen and sophomores are urged to see their advisors early in the week to avoid a last-minute rush." he added.
Juniors and seniors will receive reports in the mail if their work in any course is unsatisfactory, said the dean.
Organized houses who want a report of College freshman and sophomore grades at mid-semester should have the individual students get statements from their advisors. To get College junior and senior grades, the house should send an alphabetized list of the 'students' names to the College office.
