Lretom the Detroit area, although two are from
ISinaw and one is from Mt. Pleasant.
I8 Of The 20  students,  18  are Negroes, one is
LaHp and one is American Indian.
1    The program is structured to assume that many
students who suffer from various forms of deprivation such as lack of economic resources, discrimination and.lack.of prior educational opportunity
can succeed at Central.
All students interested, in the program had to
apply themselves and have all the responsibilities
and options, of .any. Central student, Hayes said.
"The only difference in these students is that they
have a far greater financial need."
High Academically
.Hayes pointed out that all the students are
very high academically and have great motivation
and drive. '  ' •
"This is a program which will be of service to
all deprived persons and one which will allow
Central to provide a more realistic environment
for its students," Hayes explained. "We are trying
to provide for the differing needs of college-
capable individuals." ■   '• '
Hayes also said that "until all of the subcultures-
are represented (at CMU) we are depriving the
students of an environment that they will be m
when they leave school."

Junior Class President, Don SchneU, New Loth-
rup junior, said the purpose of the open housei is
to expose the students to what the various organizations have to offer and to show the students
that they can "become involved where they nave
an interest, not necessarily where they have experience."
Graduate Enrollment increase
Despite Change In Draft Rules
Despite the new draft rules, graduate student
enrollment has increased this year at Central.
In June 1967, Congress enacted a new draft
law which stated that, "The President shall provide for the deferment of persons whose employment or whose activity in graduate study, researcn,
or other endeavors is found to be necessary to tne
maintenance of national health, safety or interest.
Kfo Deferments?
' The National Security Council announced on
Feb. 15, 1968 that deferments would be limited to
graduate students in medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine and osteopathy. Therefore students
doing graduate work in any other field are now
susceptible to draft at any time.
■ According to Olof W. Steg, dean, School of
Graduate Studies; all this had no effect on Central's fall graduate student enrollment. Final count
topped last years by 7.9 per cent With l;066 registered, 746 men and §20 women, a higher per cent
oi men than usual.
'■ This year 280,000 college graduates and graduate students will enter the Service. Of this number
Schnell continued to say that "All you have
to do is try trings. You have to be bold and you
can do things and make things. All I can say is
become involved. You'll never regret it.

Central President William B. Boyd. "No less important will be the effect "these students will have
on the University." ^bIIpM-
"Surely those of us in the houses of intellect
can be sensitive enough and responsive enough to
lead our nation in its most crucial task-and prepare a generation of youth for leadership m the
new society," Boyd added.
In setting up the program, Central added its
name to a loni list of colleges and universities

disadvantaged students. ^-tinn
"Central is doing the business of the nation
that has the consensus of political, social and economic leaders of our country," said Hayes.

. Appeal Sequked
In order for a graduate student" to receive _a
waft deferment he must appeal his case to "is
local draft board. The dean of the graduate school
then certifies whether the Student is full time or
not.If a fuu time student status-is established, the
local board will probably not issue a deferment
