Forms with which' to report
class standing to the Selective
Service Deferment Headquarters
are available in the Student Personnel Office, announced Mr.
George N. Lauer, dean of men.
"The completed forms for each
student who applies for deferment should be filled out, submitted to the college for class
standing, and be made available
at the local selective service board
before August 20, 1951," stated
Dean Lauer.
Students who will leave ai
ihe close of ihe current semester must fill out Form 109 immediately and leave ii wiih the
college for future mailing.
A senior who receives a degree
in June or at the close of a sum
mer session and plans to request
deferment for the purpose of taking graduate or advanced professional work in another institution,
will be required to furnish two
copies of Form 109 to his local
board.
The institution which he last
attended will complete the form
to attest class standing during his
senior year. The institution to
which he is transfering will certify that he has been admitted.
The same procedure is to be followed by all students who transfer from one institution to
another, said Lauer.
Deferment examinations were
given io 122 students ai Central Saturday, May 26, according io Dr. Karl C. Praii, pro
fessor of psyhology and super
visor of testing.
"Contrary to public belief, these
tests are for the purpose of deferment from military service only
and not for exemption," said Dr.
Pratt.
The tests will be given throughout the United States on June 18
and June 30. Tests will also be
given on July 12 for those students whose religious beliefs prevent their taking the tests on Saturday.
Applications io fake ihe tests
had io be in ihe hands of Educational Testing Service,
Princeton, New Jersey, by May
25.
The determination of class rank
has been left up to the, colleges
and universities. The following
four points have been proposed
for ranking students for deferment at Central:
(1) Any male students who carries 12 hours or more will be considered a full-time student in determining population; (2) All full-
time male students enrolled in a
given classification during the
spring semester, will be grouped
together for ranking purposes for
deferment during the ensuing
year. The ranking shall take place
after the grades are in for the
spring semester; (3) Our present
point system will be used in computing point average;. (4) The
cumulative point average, based
upon all courses completed, will
be used for ranking purposes.
