The draft now includes first and second year graduate students, lowering overall enrollment in many places. By June all grads and graduating students lost deferments unless beyond year one or in health fields. About two thirds of first and second year classes became eligible, with grads appearing on rolls in September. Some sought deferments via Peace Corps, teaching, or defense jobs. Senator Tydings urged President Johnson to delay inductions for grads to prevent disrupting studies.
