There are about 700 hundred new students at University Park and there are some 100 new students at the Common wealth Campuses. The new .students on this campus include 105 freshmen, 155 advance standing transfer students, 250 who have been readmitted, and 160 transfer students from the Commonwealth Campuses.

He says he believes the ex amination to be unfair, as it em phasizes mathematics and science. "You just can't make an examina tion that's fair in a specialized world, ’’ Gen. Hershey says. Gen.

Herslicy reemphasized (hat part time students are in a more vulner able position on the cirait scale. “The only way a part-time student has a chance now is to convince his local board that lie should be delerred. The local board has the power," the General is quoted. He said the differences between part-time and full-time students arc poorly defined and dif for from col lege lo college. He says some col leges arc tolerating 12 credit hours as the minimum. (At the University, a part-time student is one who carries less than eight credits per term. I The Selective Service chief added that there are no plans lo change the status of graduate students, and that a local board lias the responsi bility for that. "Inevitably," the magazine quotes Hershey, "the local boards are going to have more ten dency to question what the grad uate student is getting ready to do, or whether he’s ‘just going to school'.” Hershey said the local board also Olmsted Campus Underway The UnnciMlv plans to open an olt'ioe at ulnvtrd Ar Force Base early Hits year in a move toward 1 lie e-tabhsh ment of another Commonwealth Campus thcic. iho base, situated near Ilainsburg, is scheduled to he phased out by 101)9 under orders of the Department of De fense as one of the installations to be closed in an economy measure, President Eric A. Walker wrote to Gov. William W. Scranton early in December say mg ‘‘The way now seems clear to open what promises to be a major new campus in Olmsted All 1 force Base facilities next September.'’ The University Board of Trustees has instructed Walker to cooperate tully with federal, stale and Harrisburg area officials in the development of an Olmsted campus to pro vide associate degree, upper loud undergraduate uoik and graduate programs. in accordance wall Scranton's requests the University will establish a liaison with the Office of Economic Adjust ment. Department of Defense, to seek instructions leading to transfer of a portion of the North complex at Olmsted to serve as the new campus. Walker has designated Kenneth L. liolderman, director of Commonwealth Campuses, as Ins deputy in the detailed planning for the new campus. When complete, the plans will be submitted to the State Board of Education for approval. “.The development of a major campus at Harrisburg, with its tremendous possibility for service, is an outstanding challenge to the University,'’ Walker said, “f am convinced," he continued, "That the Harrisburg area is going to become one of the most desirable sections in the entire East with the development of a single massive population belt along the East Coast. “Harrisburg will be close enough for its residents to share in this development. Yet. Iving on the fringe of the vast population belt, it will become a highly desirable rcsi deniiaj, cultural and educational center. The Olmsted Cam pus, together with the developing Milton S. Hershey Medical Center of the University, will give the University an oppor tunity to share in the development of the Harrisburg area m a significant way.” Walker concluded. Walker and other University officials inspected the Olmsted facilities Tuesday, and alter the tour, Walker com mented that he thought the facilities available at the air base compared favorably with those at University Park and other Commonwealth Campuses. The visit was made to assit in planning an educational program for the proposed campus. The State Council on Higher Education has asked ihe University to file complete plans on how it proposes to utilize the Olmsted base. ff and when the University takes over the former air base, there are three usable buildings in the 216-acre tract offered for the new Commonwealth Campus, These include the Olmsted mam administration building and two dormi tories connected by a timing hall has the power to be selective as far as a student’s minor curriculum is concerned He said that, if stu dents were being inducted, "liberal arts people" would probably be called belore scientists, engineers or stu dents in other technical fields. Gen. Hershey's overall advice for students is: "Study. If you want to slay a studen*. be one." Protest Status The magazine also questioned Gen. Hershey on the status ot people, particularly students, who partici pate in demonstrations against U.S. policy in Vietnam, He says the Selective Service is only concerned with incidents where the Selective Service Jaw is violated. He added that he believes the best way to deal with "dralt delinquents,” is to induct them, rather then have them indicted for violating the law. He says he ‘‘regretted" the passage of the law last summer making it a federal offense to de stroy a draft card. He says this was covered in the original Selective Service Act, which requires a reg- Voices From The Classroom -See Page 4 By DEB STODDARD Collegian City Editor Further Negotiations Needed Site l.strant to cariv his card at all tunes. He adds that his olfice is mainly concerned with the administration of the law The General states, "I wish these people that want to obstruct things will just go somewhere else and do their obstructing 1 don't believe you can tolerate these attacks on a setup as sensitive as tile Selective Service System.” 11l summation, the magazine quotes Gen. Hershey: "I wish someone would put a howl about a hat a horrible thing is being perpetrated on our overanxious youth seeking to get into the service and being distracted from it, by deferment. "I don'l think anybody's going lo do that. For one think I've got no illusions about service. The guy who says, ‘You just can’t hold me back from going in,' is generally a damned liar. Because there arc other things that arc pushing him to the place where it’s easier to go than it is to stay home.” SIX CENTS
