Drafting program faces high demand at Calhoun College
An official sought 150 draftsmen last week at John C Calhoun State Technical Junior College but only two students were hired from the drafting class. In Alabama the draftsperson workforce doubled from 1950 to 1960 with about 5 percent women, aided by missile and space programs. The 24 month course offers two daily classes, allows late enrollment, and may qualify students for military deferments until completion.
