Committe's Report Should Be Studied Congress is now considering a number of permanent formulas for the drafting and defer ment of college students. One or another of these systems is almost certain to be enacted into law before June. WHILE THERE ARE a good many individual plans for collegiate deferments, there seem to be only two basic possibilities: Defer across the board, by scholastic average, or defer in dividuals in certain designated key courses. At first glance. the second formula might seem to be more practical. The nation needs engineers to fight a battle of technologists far more than it needs, say, plant pathologists or high school teachers. Defer the engineers, then, and let the less-needed men fight the war. But a strong objection to any such plan has been raised by the six scientific advisory com mittees to the director of the selective service system. In their report of Dec. 18, 1950, they point out this subtle fact. We don't know who will be the essential specialist next year. or in five or ten years. THE COMMITTEES USED this illustration. Suppose, in the mid-1930'5, war had broken out. Suppose, too, that the exempted specialist draft system had then been put in effect. One of the groups which almost certainly would not have been considered vital, which would have been subject to unlimited draft, would have been the atomic physicists--the same atomic physicists who today are this nation's most vital` single resource. Now project into the future. Suppose we decide to exempt engineers, atomic physicists, and, the other groups who seem vital today, and draft the less essential men. the men studying to be plant pathologists, high school teachers and so on. And suppose. if war comes, that Russia should unleash devasta ting attacks of radioactive dust against this country's fbod-growing areas. The most vital individuals in the country would then be the plant pathologists, only the United States wouldn't have any. Or suppose we should be charged with the task of re-educating vast numbers of Oriental and Eastern European people. We would need tens of thousands of trained teachers, but we wouldn't have them. SO BEFORE CONGRESS decides whether to exempt all the top students in the country, no matter how non-essential their courses may seem, or whether to exempt only students in "essential" curricula, it •should consider well the report of the six scientific advisory com mittees.

Ambulance, Stretchers For College TO THE EDITOR: This past Sunday a stu dent was injured on campus, a call to the infir mary brought the Campus patrol station wagon instead of an ambulance. This student should have been placed on his- back but, because of improper facilities, he had to sit up. A school of this size should definitely have an ambulance and not just a station wagon which cannot be used to transport people who have to be placed on their back. The College should either purchase an am bulance immediately, or make an arrangement the station wagon so that it can be converted into an ambulance when needed. ' Another item that is necessary is a stretcher, placed on each floor of every building on campus. Gazette ...
