By Joe Belden, Editor AUSTIN, Tex., Nov. 13. American student opinion main tains that college men should be allowed to complete their educa tion before they are inducted into the army. Even if war should be declared and an expeditionary force sent out, Student Opinion Surveys of America discovers, nearly two-thirds of college men today say they would wait their turn in the draft rather than vol unteer. "Which of these statements most nearly expresses your view on the idea of deferring college students from the draft," inter viewers asked a cross section of collegians in a poll taken cooper atively by college editors from Oregon to Florida. A panel of five answers was then presented to the interviewees. The statements fol low, with the answers in percent ages: Defer them until their edu Come! T Pass fro Caondfldlsites By Harold Bremers.

The motion, proposed by Dorothy Fillcy. is effective immediately and will apply to the spring elections. ''The council had the power to select, candidates in the past and there is no reason why we cannot do so again," said President lUirton Thicl before 1he motion was passed. "We want good, hard workers on the council and this is the way to get them," Thicl continued.

Cautioning the council never to use the plan of selection as a po litical football, Thicl suggested that even now the very existence of the council is threatened. There fore, he concluded, we should show the student body that we are striv ing for the best student govern ment possible. Speaker Commends UN. John O. Nelson, director of the department of student relations of the Presbyterian church of Phila delphia, here for the Religion and Life week, spoke at the council meeting. Praising the university for its spirit of co-operation be tween barbs and Greeks, he said: "Your problems of co-operation among the barbs and Greeks should not trouble you very much because there already exists here a spirit of co-operalion that I have observed rarely at any other uni versity." "Keep your fine midwestern spirit unsullied from the materi alism of the east," he concluded.

S. college students were then opposed to changing the neu trality law, that nearly eight out of every ten believed it was more important to supply the allies than to join the fight. This new sam pling adds further evidence to tha apparent fact that campus opin ion has not reached the interven tionist stage. It is interesting to note that college women (57 per cent) are more eager than men (50 percent) to have prospective draftees deferred until graduation. Selecting a sample of college men in proportion to enrolments in the six geographical areas of the Census, the Surveys asked, "If the United States declared war and sent out an expeditionary force, would you volunteer or wait until you wore drafted?" These were the results: Wc;;ld volunteer 28? Would wait for draft 64 Undecided 8 (Sec SURVEY, page 7)
