May Re-Classify College Students
Kansas University students of draft age may be classified again, by occupation this time, under an agreement reported to have been reached in Washington by national education authorities and selective service officials last month.
According to unofficial sources, the agreement calls for a definite classification of all college students who are registered under the 1940 selective service act, in order that actual deferment of students called to active duty may be simplified.
The agreement is a result of the the great number of problems confronting local draft boards and parents of students in college.
Under the semi-officially an announced agreement, students will probably be deferred by reason of occupation in college, rather than having nearly completed their college education.
Youth groups throughout the United States are, however, supporting an amendment which calls for the blanket deferment plan thus far in operation.
Briefly, the agreement in full calls for national selective service officials to "urge" local boards, through state governors, to make permanent classifications for college students immediately on the basis of their field of education. Because few students have been classified, the new interpretation will affect nearly all students of draft age.
Preference under the new arrangement will presumably be given to students in medicine, pharmacy, dentistry, chemistry, engineering, biology, geology, and related research fields, as local draft boards interpret the "necessary man" clause of the selective service act.
Officials were not reticent in declaring that students in liberal arts schools would be the hardest 1 by the new interpretation. Draft administrators and educators agree that there is no reason for deferring liberal arts students, although it is realized that enrollments will be hit severely by next year.
