Successor to the Free Lance, Established 1887 VOL. 37—N . 0. 121 College Hershey Asks Draft Delay For College Men See Editorial, Page Two WASHINGTON, April 17.--Act ing Draft Director Lewis B. Her shey announced today that local draft boards will be asked to post pone the induction of college stu dents into the Army "until the end of the scholastic period in which they, are called.", A scholastic period was unoffi cially interpreted as meaning a semester. It was pointed out that under this plan the interruption of classroom study will be prevented. The announcement emphasized that local boards will not be in structed to postpone student in ductions automatically and that full authority still lies with the individual boards. The 6,500 local boards will re ceive the recommendation next week. It reads in part: "The following amendment to Selective Service Regulations has been approved by national 'head quarters: The time specified for reporting,(when called) shall be 10 days, provided, where unusual in dividual hardship, will result, the local board may postpone the time when such registrant shall report for a period not to exceed 60 days, subject, however, to further post ponement upon good- cause," Hershey said, "The induction of a college student at the normal time may result in unusual hard ship if the student requires addi tional time to complete a 'course Or take an examination after com pleting a course." It is believed by Hershey and other draft officials that temporary postponement for students will be granted by local boards in the ma jority of cases. The American Council on Education, representing nearly 500 colleges, concurred in this opinion. 111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 _ _ 1216 News 111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111.
