Freeze June Draft
Of College Students
The long-awaited measure deferring college
men from the draft has been announced by the
President of the United States. And so the great
question mark that clouded the future of every
male student at every college has been wiped
away. The highest ranking students will be
allowed to finish their schooling. And they must
be, as the President said, for the nation's "health,
safety, and interests."
BUT THE SKY STILL IS not clear, and the
great question has been replaced by a number of
little, nagging ones that must be answered and
answered quickly. The most important of these
is the question of the dangling men.
There are now at the College well over 400
of these dangling men—men attending school
under draft postponements but scheduled to
report for induction in June. Under the Pres
ident's new order, three examinations will be
given to determine who is to be deferred.
These tests will be held. May 26—very close
to the end of the semester—and June 16 and
30, after the end of the semester. It will take
time then to grade the examinations, to work
out exactly who has earned deferment.
In the meantime, what of the dangling men?
If nothing is done between now and the end
of the semester, these men automatically will be
inducted- into the service despite the express
purpose of the deferment plan. It would be only
by the most tragic of oversights that no con
tinuance of their postponements would be
ordered. Yet a draft of some hundreds of men
is a complex and confusing procedure, and over
sights occur.
INDIVIDUAL DRAFT BOARDS and the
Selective Service itself have shown inefficiency
in the past. Perhaps, in the compexity of such
an enterprise, the inefficiency is unavoidable.
Nevertheless, it is vital that a clarifying direc
tive be issued quickly to freeze the inductions
scheduled for the beginning of June.
A tragic oversight must not be allowed to
work so great an injustice on the dangling
men.

Real Enemy Is In The Kremlin
TO THE EDITOR: Two recent editorials about the bill re
quiring state employees to swear their loyalty to the United . States
give the impression that they•were' written in a vacuum impervious
to any awareness of recent events in Estonia, Latvia, Lithauarlia,
Poland, Eastern Germany, CzechosloVakia, Austria, Hungary,
Roumania, Bulgaria, Al b ani a,
China, the Philippines, Viet Nam,
and_Korea,
They imply that the proposed
"loyalty oath" has- something to
do with "differences of political
opinion" or with the "dictate's of
conscience"—instead of with a
plot to forcefully overthrow the
American government and - de
stroy American liberty. '
Even though the wording of the
oath is not known, one editorial
wants us to believe our profs are
so timid that the loyal ones would
be "afraid to speak the truth as
(they) saw it"—just aSif America
were a police state. ',
From newspaper and, similar
oaths sworn twin various applica
tions, my guess as to the oath's
probable wording „is: ."•1,. swear
(or affirm) that I 'have never held
membership in any organization
which advocates the overthrow of
the constitutional form of govern
ment of the United" States of
America." Yet these editorials
imply that a loyal professor
* * * * * '* ' * * * *

should be afraid or ashamed to
sign such a statement.
May I suggest a more appro
priate target for our fight to pre
serve.-our cherished freedom? The
real enemy threatening the Amer..
ican way of life is in the Kremlin
—not Harrisburg.
—Lew Stone, ;49
Ed. Note—What the writer
to,iealize is that there are
two 'dangers—the external dan
ger from „the Kremlin and the
internal danger from adopting
totalitarian. methods to combat
totalitarianism. (The loyalty
oath for profs was established
in. Italy by Mussolini.)
A great deal of current intel
ligent opinion holds that the
loyalty oath, whatever its in
tentions, will not help catch
Communists. Other methods al
ready are available and should
be used where .necessarY.
On the surface, the oath does
not APPEAR to have anything
to do with differences of opinion
and 'conscience, but in its appli
cation' it can do great harm in
these fields. '
