p.m. Applications may be obtain
ed by students appearing in per
son at the board.

Requirements
The requirements for taking

1. Must be a registrant who
intends to request occupational.
deferment as a student.
2. Must be under 26 years of
age at the time of taking the test.
.3. Must have already begun
and plaids to continue his college
or university studies.

rolled in a four year college,

ring of credits to an institution
which grants degrees.

draft eligible students at the Col..

gardless of the "unofficial" aspect
as far as deferments are con
cerned.
Tests Vital
President Milton S. Eisenhower
