General Hershey has inter

an unusual hardship might con

registrant requires additional time
within which to complete a course
of instruction or training or take

Dr. Rosenlof emphasized that
there is no guarantee that students

Meanwhile, every division of the

to awards for the best squad,

hardship exists even though the
student in enrolled and in at

Dr. Rosenlof advised such a
student, especially if he is not a
senior, to reconsider the desir
ability of requesting advance
ment of his order number so
that he may be inducted and
complete his period of training
and service without interrupting
an academic year.
The flexibility of the amendment
itself is a distinct advantage, Ros
enlof pointed out. Any fixed num
ber of days or weeks of required
attendance before induction would
create an unusual hardship for one
student, but perhaps not for an
other, depending upon variable
factors.
"All of these variables will be
considered by local boards," said
Dr. Rosenlof, "and we firmly be
lieve that they will be liberal
and humane in rendering their
