Want To Be Drafted? No? Then Enroll-While You Can
Men, will you be drafted?
No, not if you have enrolled in the University before receiving a notice to report for a physical examination or are in the upper half, scholastically, of your class.
Medical students, accepted by the School of Medicine, are deferred until graduation. Students enrolled in reserve officer training are also automatically deferred. Graduate students complete a full year of university work and were in the upper half of their class may also be deferred.
Present Selective Service regulations provide for deferment of university students, at the discretion of local boards, until at least the end of the academic year if they have completed one year of University work, are in the upper half of their class, and can show that they fully intended, prior to Aug. 1, 1950, to enroll for the 1950-51 school year.
Students, including those beginning University work and those not in the upper half of their class, may have their inductions postponed until the end of the school year if they maintain satisfactory scholastic records.
Students who receive a notice to report for a physical examination should consult their local draft
board concerning any changes in regulations and apply for deferments.
James K. Hitt, Registrar, said his office is ready at any time to provide information concerning a student's status in school to draft boards. However, he said, there is no necessity to provide the board with such information unless the student has received a notice to report for an examination. Also, Mr Hitt said, the local board probably would not want to be bothered with unnecessary information.
Mrs. Gertrude Halberg, chief clerk of local board number 18, was unable to say if students would definitely be deferred since each case is decided on its own perms and new regulations could be applied to the student. She revised students who receive a notice to report for a physical to obtain a letter from the Registrar or request that it be sent directly to the board.
Thirty men are to report for physical exams Monday, Sept. 18 and another group of 30 Wednesday, Sept. 27.
Berlin Airlift Is Being Repeated As Military Air Transport Serves Korea
In the Korean fighting, the U.S. military air transport service is spreading its wings in the second major test its fliers have received since the big job accomplished during World War II.
The spectacularly successful Berlin airlift of 1948-49 was a mass-production, assembly line f e a t ,notes the National Geographic society. At peak activity the flying aircraft visited Vienna to look off every three minutes around the clock, to bring vital supplies to the Russian-blocked West zones of Germany's capital. Loads averaged a daily rate of 8,000 tons.
The Korean airlift presents altogether different geographic problems, as well as risks incident to "shot" instead of "cold" war. The Berlin lifelines had the advantages of being overland and relatively short, varying from 80 to 175 miles, depending on bases used. Much of the cargo was coal from the convenient German Ruhr.
Today's military air transport service is a consolidation of the Army's former air transport command, and the Navy's air transport service. It was born June 1, 1948, just before the Russian blockade, and 26 days before the start of the Berlin airlift.
In war or peace, M.A.T.S. has the basic assignment of carrying cargo and personnel wherever U.S. military interests may dictate. This organization also administers U.S. air bases, from Saudi Arabia to Labrador, and from Korea to the South Atlantic area.
To do the Korean job, the winged work horses carry an assortment of cargoes, ranging from guns and spare parts to V.I.P.'s. They transport platinum and rubber seeds, blood plasma and troop entertainers, and rescued seamen and prisoners of war.

Fifth Student To Europe
Howard Victor Perlmutter, graduate student and instructor in psychology at the University, has been granted a Fulbright scholarship for the study of social psychology at the University of Bordeaux, Bordeaux, France.
Perlmutter is the fifth K.U. student definitely known to have a Fulbright scholarship for foreign study this coming year.
The grant was made for the past year but Perlmutter was unable to accept and the selection committee deferred the scholarship. The scholarship provides transportation, tuition and a subsistence allowance.

Neither men nor women students should have any difficulty in finding suitable rooms this year, believes Mrs. Ruth Nash, housing secretary.
More than 250 rooms for men are available and although the number for women is less neither should have any trouble in finding rooms, she said. The number of rooms available for women undergraduates is not as high as those for upperclass men and women but is "sufficient." Mrs. Nash added.
This summer a questionnaire was
mailed to those requesting that their rooms be placed on the housing list asking what type of heating is used and if safety exits are provided for third floor rooms. Mrs, Nash explained that this was an attempt to prevent accidents similar to the one last year in which a student was killed by fumes.
