Show COLLEGE MEN STATUS IN DRAFT CITED Status of college boys and the draft was clarified today by Major Ma-jor H. Arnold Rich, assistant executive for the U. S. Selective Service Administration, in charge of Utah headquarters in the Commerce Com-merce building. Major Rich pointed out that there is a difference between "deferment" "de-ferment" and "exemption" as applied ap-plied to the male college students. Those who are exempt do not have to register at all, and those in the "deferment" class must register but are not liable for service ser-vice at once. In the exemption category are members of the Army, Navy, National Na-tional Guard, Reserve Officers, and cadets in advanced R. O. T. C. courses or Naval R. O. T. C. at the U. S. A. C. and the University of Utah. This exemption includes R. O. T. C. cadets in the third or fourth or junior and senioi classes only. Students who are in the deferred de-ferred classification include those who in the year 1940 entered upon the academic year 1940-41 at anj college or university which grants degrees in arts or sciences when they entered to pursue a course of instruction, satisfactory com-pletion com-pletion of which is precribed bj the college as prerequisite to suet a degree. The deferment also applies ap-plies to post-graduate courses. Major Rich made it plain, how-ever, how-ever, that the deferment did nol apply to students in correspon-dence correspon-dence or business schools. |
