PRICE FIVE CENTS College officials said yesterday that they had received no infor mation as yet on th e aptitude tests, which will be given in about 1000 centers throughout the Uni ted States and possessions on. May 26, June 16, and June 30. The new system is expected to defer most freshmen entering this fall, half the sophomore class, two thirds of the junior class, and three-quarters of the senior class. Draft Director Lewis B. Hershey said Saturday that the plan should defer about a million draft-eligible students. Two Criteria The, presidential order does not specify how the two criteria set up—test scores and academic standing—will be equated. The exact phrasing of that part of the order is: "A registrant's activity in study may be considered to be necessary (if he) either has main tained a required scholastic standing, or has attained on a qualification test a score, or both such standing and a score, to be prescribed by the director of •se lective service with the approval of the President." The base for scholastic standing will include male students only. Both scholastic and test require ments may be adjusted until the desired proportion of men are being deferred. Hershey said. Available April 12 Printed instructions and appli cations for the tests will be at draft boards on or after April 12. Sample tests will also be avail able. All students now in college who intend to continue their studies are eligible for the exami nations. High school seniors are not now eligible. The presidential order said that deferments for college students are "necessary to the mainten ance of the national health, safety, (and) interest."
