Draft Tests
Several aspects of the draft have been label¬
ed foolish, but none can be more foolish than
the draft deferment tests which will be given
here in May.
The draft has many students worried, but
certainly the test will not ease the minds of
anyone.
All the preparation in the world wouldn't
make the difference on this test, for the draft
deferment test adds little to the draft deferment
system, and more particular, to the draft sys¬
tem of college students.
One school official said no particular score
on the test could insure a student of not being
drafted. The final criteria used is the needs of
the local board.
Although a score of 70 per cent is consider¬
ed passing, one official noted that a score of
90 per cent still may not keep that student out
of the armed services, especially if he is lo¬
cated in a neighborhood that has a low number
of draft-eligible men. Another person may
score below 70 per cent but still be exempt
from the draft because he lives in a neighbor¬
hood which contains a large number of draft-
eligible men.
Because this "problem* exists, it is believ¬
ed by many administrators that the test scores
.may not even be used to determine draft status.
What the test boils down to, then, is that the
Selective Service is spending a lot of money
andtimeonatest that will mean little. The de¬
cision still rests with each draft board, and the
students that would have been inducted without
the tests will probably be the same ones that
will go with it.
Andthe tests, which come in the middle of a
semester, will do nothing but disrupt the stu¬
dent's semester and completely confuse him
as to his draft status.

Editor:
It has come to toe attention of
students that toe student body Is
forced to subsidize toe physical
educaUon department through toe
purchase of student body cards.
Let us elaborate. Each regis¬
tered, full-time student is forced
to pay ten dollars (110) tor toe
student body card, of which an ag¬
gregate of 332,325 (to 1965-8)
goes from toe student body to the
physical education department to
support of such non-academic ac¬
tivities as awards and traveling
expenses.
If we refuse to pay tols fee,
we are refused a student body
card, which is tantamount to re¬
fusing the library and bookstore
prlvUeges. Both are, obviously,
essential to our education. In
other words, we are forced to
subsidize the physical education
department to order to use the
library, bookstore and other aca¬
demic and artistic activity which
requires the student body card.
We wonder how long tols Nean¬
derthal romnant of education wUl
persist. AU serious students of
academic pursuit acknowledge
the value of toelr bodies. How¬
ever, we feel that toe activities
of toe physical education depart¬
ment should be placed In proper
perspective alongside of, but not
above, the other departments In
our coUege,
U we are going to be forced to
pay the student body fee, why not
allocate the proceeds especially
among Uie departments and call
lt tuition? As lt stands now, these
funds are called a student body
academic trivia as awards
($3,730), travel expenses
($48,347), and publicity (»6,5O0)
for the P.E. department. (AU
figures are from Uie FSC Asso¬
ciation, Incorporated Budget,
1965-8.)
This outrage has persisted un¬
der previous student administra¬
tions. No rational attempt has
to ameliorate this ty¬
rannical   practice.   However,  a
Jordan,  Is  speaking  wlto role-
Important topics. It Is for
tols reason that we support Ron
Jordan to his aspiration tor stu¬
dent body president.

Leaders Are Accused
Editor:
Why was toe English depart¬
ment overlooked to toe Most
Distinguished Teacher awards?
It occurs to me toe vote must
have been widely divided among
the many exceUent professors to
this department.
If tols to not toe reason toelr
excellence received no recogni¬
tion, toe outcome of toe voting
Is a very pejorative comment on
the caliber of toe graduating
class—which heaven forbid! Be lt
noted that to each case toe award
went to a member of a tactual
discipline, whereas the supreme¬
ly Important and difficult func¬
tion   of   an   English literature
Is to combine depth scholarship
In his own specialty wlto compe- .
tence to related fields. He has to
teach toe most Important disci¬
pline of all-how to tolnk your
way through to toe terms of toe

For Guests
Nothing
can take the press out of Lee-Prest slacks
Not that it's on his mind right now. And it needn't be. Those Lee-
Prest Leesures can't help but stay crisp and neat. No matter what you
put them through. They have a new permanent press. So the crease stays
in. The wrinkles stay out. Permanently. And that's without ironing. No
touch-ups, either. They're made from Lee's special blend of 50% polyester
and 50% combed cotton. For wash and wear.. .with conviction.
Incidentally, that permanent press is the only change we've made
in Leesures. They still have that lean, honest look... smart, tailored fit.
New Lee-Prest Leesures. Test their permanent press yourself. It isn't
necessary, but it's a great way to spend an evening. From $6.00 to $8.00.

committee to study toe problems
of International students on the

Itself. . . lt Is setting up a study
