Selective Service Exam Deadline Set For Oct.30
Students wanting to take the Selective Service college qualification test on Nov. 15 must make applications postmarked not later than midnight Oct. 30. Applications are being received at the registrar's office or at the Selective Service Office in the Douglas County Court House.
Tests for the current academic year will be given Nov. 15, 1956, and April 18, 1957. The deadline for the April 18 test is March 5.
"This is a test that every student wishing a deferment should take." James K. Hitt, registrar, said. "A student can be granted a deferment either by a satisfactory test score or by his rank in his class.
"The test shows the local Selective Service Board the student's ability to do college work. It gives the board something to compare to a student's achievement in college class rank." he added.
To pass the test, a student must make a score of 70 or better. To be deferred on the basis of class
ranking, a freshman must be in the upper $ \frac{1}{2} $ of his class; a sophomore in the upper two-thirds, and juniors and seniors in the upper $ \frac{3}{4} $ of the classes.
"If a student has a bad semester and his class ranking falls below the necessary standing to qualify for deferment, the test may pull him through." Mr. Hitt said.
"Students in ROTC particularly are urged to take this test," Mr. Hitt said, "A student is, of course, deferred while he is in the ROTC program, but he can't be sure that he will remain in the program."
If a student drops out of the ROTC program, he will need some proof of his scholastic ability to send to his draft board to remain deferrable. A passing grade on this test would meet this requirement.
The Nov. 15 test will be given in the Jayhawk Room of the Student Union by the Guidance Bureau. The tests are sent directly to the student's draft board.

$9,000 Grant For Bee Study
Charles D. Michener, chairman of the department of entomology, has received a $9,000 grant from the National Science Foundation to study the evolution and classification of South American bees. The award is in addition to a 3-year grant for $23,000 made recently by the Foundation for the same project.
Both grants will support research begun jointly last year by Dr. Michener and the Rev. J. S. Moure of the University of Parana, Curitiba, Brazil, when Dr. Michener was on leave of absence. Father Moure, principle South American bee specialist, is on leave this year as chairman of the zoology department of the University of Parana and is working with Dr. Michener at KU.
Dr. Michener brought back some 30,000 specimens of South American bees to be used in the studies. He estimated that one-third of them will become the property of the Snow Entomological Museum here.
Final Schedule For Dr. Dow
As part of the project, Father Moure will visit museums in this country and in Europe to study specimens and types of species described by early authors.
