Show I Draft increase hasn't affected graduate r increase is The draft has apparently not affected total graduate enrollment at the University Dr. Clyde Grant director of Institutional Studies sa.d enrollment flgures, when compiled, should measure up to est.mates made before Gen. Lewis B Hershey announced discontinuation of graduate deferments. 6 c "In spite of the draft, I'm sure we will have between 2,800 and 3,000 day-time graduS students," Dr. Grant added, "which is abolt wh t should be expected for the University as a whole " Checks made with several departments on campus confirmed Dr. Grant's preliminary findings Dr. Samual Thurmond, dean of the College of Law and chairman of the Salt Lake City Selective Service Court of Appeals, said draft calls in September were low, but that, 'there might materialize a larger draft quota and subsequent decline in graduate program participation when draft calls are stepped up this month and in December." However, Dr. Thurmond said, "there has been an increase in students in the graduate law program. In fact the University is entering the largest class since World War II." Dr. Phillip Sturges, head of the Department of History, said the draft had no appreciable influence on his graduate department. "Most of those we counted on did come, and so tar, enrollment is slightly higher." The Graduate School of Social Work found its enrollment 15 per cent higher than last year-about a 10 per cent increase, while Dr. L. Dale Harris, associate dean of engineering, said his department expected graduate enrollments would be down, but later in the summer found this would not be the case." Time Magazine recently reported that on a national scale the expected draft toll had failedjo materialize. |
