Francis Heller acting provost and dean of faculties at Kansas University says new Selective Service rules will reduce the number of people pursuing academic careers while shortages exist. He notes the draft changes will affect students graduating this year and those entering graduate school last fall, potentially lowering KU graduate enrollment by several hundred as part time teaching jobs for English and foreign language grads dry up. Enrollment figures show 2,996 graduate students last fall with 984 women among 15,791 total. spring totals are incomplete but show a mid year decline of 5 to 7 percent, and law school placement may feel the impact next.
