Draft Qualification Tests For Kansas University Students
About 34 college students, largely from the University of Kansas, are slated to take the Selective Service College Qualification Test in the Military Science Building at KU from 8 30 a m to noon tomorrow. They join about 22 000 college students nationwide taking the quiz in test centers. The system, set up a year ago by Selective Service, aims to provide local draft boards with evidence of a student's ability to continue college study rather than enter the armed forces. Deferment remains at the draft board’s discretion, and students deferred to finish college are subject to draft immediately after graduation.
