Draft Deferments Limit Graduate Student Exemptions
The Selective Service System ruled out draft deferments for graduate study in fields beyond medicine and allied specialties. It also suspended its list of essential activities and critical occupations, allowing local boards to grant occupational deferments case by case. Lt. Gen. Hershey announced the action on advice from the National Security Council. The council includes the President, Vice President, Secretaries of State and Defense, and the director of the Office of Emergency Planning. The policy does not affect those already in graduate study beyond first year. It does affect graduates this year and new entrants, with the orderly sequence of calls remaining unchanged. Education officials warned continued current practice could disrupt graduate schools and student bodies. Gene Doane Wants to Be Your Insurance Agent Ad.
