Last call issued for draft test
By GARY MURRELL
KU students wanting to take the Selective Service Qualifications Test must register before Friday, the Registrar's Office announced yesterday.
The examination will be administered Nov. 18 and 19. Tentative plans call for it to be given in the Big Eight Room of the Kansas Union, according to Professor Bob Michal of the Guidance Dept.
Registration forms are available in the Office of Records and Admissions in Strong Hall.
WHEN REGISTERING, each student will receive a booklet, explaining the purpose of the test and an application which must be postmarked no later than Friday.
The application is to be mailed to the Educational Testing Service, Princeton, N.J., the frim in charge of formulating the examination and designating testing locations.
Shortly before the test is to be administered, the student will receive instructions concerning the

location and time of the examination.
Lt. Col. Junior Elder, field officer for the Kansas Selective Service Board, said about 1,000 students already had registered Tuesday to take the test in Kansas.
"LAST SPRING we had more than 8,000 Kansans who filed to take the test," he said. "I doubt whether half that number will be tested this time."
Even with increased draft calls, Col. Elder sees no great demand for the examination in Kansas.
"The October draft quota was 348." Col. Elder said.
"This is high but nothing compared with the quota for November of 546. This is the highest since the days of the Korean Conflict," he continued.
He said the increased calls have placed a strain upon some local boards; however, state officials do not plan to make any changes regarding deferment policies.
"IF AN UNDERGRADUATE
student makes 70 or higher on the test and ranks in the upper half of his class, he should remain in college." Col. Elder said.
He said graduate students must score 80 or higher to qualify for further study.
The following scale has been used by most Kansas boards as a part of their evaluating criteria for deferment;
Freshmen, ranking in upper half of class; sophomores in upper two-thirds; juniors and seniors, upper three-fourths, and graduate students, upper one-fourth.

"He got hit real hard in the chest Sunday in intramural football, and was still having chest pains this morning," said Mrs. Paul Monty, resident director at Templin. "So he went to the hospital for an EKG and has been there ever since."
Tom McCrackin, Kirkwood, Mo., senior and president of Templin Hall went to Watkins Hospital yesterday morning with what is apparently a heart injury.

WILL IT RAIN, SNOW, SLEET OR WHAT? This KU student, dressed for all kinds of weather, seems as perplexed as the U.S. Weather Bureau.
McCrackin said, "I had a strange looking EKG, so they stuck me in bed."
Dr. Laura Kochn, the attending physician, said she has McCrackin in the hospital "mainly for observation," and that he is in "good" condition.

Additional films to expand booming SUA movie slate
As literary critics mourn the novel's death and movie critics praise the film's new birth, Student Union Activities (SUA) plan to offer a third film series to compliment the two currently offered.
The two active series, Popular and Classical, have each added an additional showing per film this year. Rick Lucas, Lawrence sophomore and Popular Film Series committee chairman, said "Even with the extra shows, we've turned back quite a number of people."
"I think," said Sam Gill, Sterling junior and Classical Film Series chairman, "the interest on campus has grown immensely in what we call classics—the best of films—including foreign films."
The Popular Film Series offers what Lucas calls "films that have been popular in recent years." This semester's features include "To Kill a Mockingbird" and "Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte," and re-offers "Becket" and "A Raisin in the Sun." from last year.
The Classical series offerings include the award-winning "The Bicycle Thief" and the little-shown "I Live in Fear," the story of a man unnaturally terrified by the nuclear bomb.
All of the films are regularly shown in Dyche Auditorium which holds about 200 persons.
Admission is 60 cents for classical and 40 cents for popular films.
This third series is forming under Rick Wrigley, Kansas City, Mo., freshman, to present "films

that are not exactly popular or exactly classical," said Wrigley.
Wrigley included the marathon "Batman" release, "a couple of the old monster movies," and "experimental but not necessarily underground" films in this classification along with Von Strohiem's "Greed" and D. W. Griffith's epic, "Intolerance."
Gill hopes to utilize a committee for more selections made this year. He said, "You have to order your films quite a bit in advance. The films had to be chosen or we wouldn't have been able to have them."
Wrigley currently needs committee members.
"I made up the whole schedule," said Lucas, "the chairman is more or less at liberty. I found the ones that have proven to be the most popular."
The categories this year were,
Western, Mystery, General. I tried
to pick in these areas, he said.
"This year," said Lucas, "we can't get a really good choice of cartoons so we tried slap-stick shorts, some ten and some twenty minutes long. They seem to be going over real well." These short subjects include W.C. Fields and Mack Sennet artistry.
