Show Draft Hounds 62 18-Year-Old Southerners Many May Leave South Next Month Sixty-two Southerners, those who registered during the 18-year-old sign up Friday and others who had already signed with Uncle Sam, will spend a more restful Christmas holiday than most expected, ex-pected, as several escaped the December De-cember 21 induction date. It is not difficult to explain how high school students may be "caught in the draft," board members mem-bers explain. Those who were eligible el-igible to graduate last year third j ear men are subject to the draft now. Those who will be 18 next semester semes-ter will not soon be called, and those now 18, not third year men, may stay if proper appeal is made to their draft board. Included in the many teen-agers who had previously registered were senior class officers Stanley Kil-bourne Kil-bourne and Russell Graehl. Neither Neith-er will be called this month, but may leave January 17. A number of South men who registered reg-istered for courses this year have joined the armed forces, not waiting wait-ing for the draft. They "slipped under the wire," joining before. the nation-wide ban on enlistments. V-l and V-7 Navy officer programs pro-grams are open to University men. An unprecedented number of midyear mid-year graduates will take advantage of these programs at the University Univer-sity of Utah, according to a recent survey. |
