Students
Deferment
Plan Set
Selective Service yesterday
coiifirined reports that the upper
half of the nation's present fresh-
Man class, two thirds of the soph
omore 'clas.s, and three quarters
of the junior class will be de
ferred to continue school next
year. ,
The draft headquarters an
nouncement still did not clarify
the relation between deferment
on academic standing and de
ferment on "the basis of aptitude
tests to be given nationally on
May 26, June 16, and June 30.
A definite policy was an
nounced, however, concerning
seniors planning to enter grad
uate work. If they are in the top
half of their class or can score
75'on the' aptitude test, they will
be deferred. Deferment grade for
other students is 70. The 70 score
equals 120 on the Army General
Classification test, while 75 equals
136.
Selective service emphasized
that students are not required to
get a deferment either by rank
ing in the top percentage of the
class or by getting a high enough
test score.
Eisenhower
Is Mentioned
For UN Post
President Eisenhower was
named recently as a candidate
for an assignment as UN medi
ator, according to reports from
Lake Success, N.Y. '
The next day, however, an
authoritative source froin Wash
ington said that "Eisenhower
would not be called upon to take
the post.
At-Lake Success it was reveal
ed that Dr. Eisenhower and Dr.
Frank P. Graham, former presi
dent of the University of — North
Carolina, were being considered
for the job as mediator to try to
profnote demilitarization of Kash
mir. '
Kashmir is claimed by both
India and Pakistan, and the situ
ation is believed to involve the
danger of war between the two
major non-communist countries
of Asia. '-
Eisenhower is now in Washing
ton, attending meetings of the
Council of Education and the
UNESCO sessions. He was not
available for comment.
Russian Books, Arts
Controlled-Simmons
Literature and the arts in Russia today are rigidly controlled by
the Communist party, Dr. Ernest J. Simmons, of the Columbia uni
versity Russian institute, said last night.
He spoke before about 350 persons gathered to hear the lecture
co-sponsored by the Liberal Arts lecture series and the Simmons
series.
This regimentation, he said, may be due to the fact that Com
munism is the faith of the people.
There seems to be a general ac
ceptance of controls until now
they are convictions, Simmons
said.
No Collapse
If this is true that the controls
are convictions; Simmons said,
the collapse of the Soviet govern
ment may not occur as some ob
servers ,maintain.
In explaining how. literature,
music, and art can be controlled,
Simmons offered these,reasons:
1. The • length of time the
people liave lived under controls
make them a force of habit.
2. The ',writers are rewarded
With money and prestige, public
ly acclaimed throughout the
Soviet, live under improved con
dition., and regarded as one of

serviceman in a peaceful effort to
reconstruct the Soviet Union.

is an idealized and propagandized
