Draft Before Volunteering
(Student Opinion Htirvry of America.)
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

interviewees. The statements fol

''The council had the power to select, candidates in the

President lUirton Thicl before 1he motion was passed. "We

Cautioning the council never to

that even now the very existence

Speaker Commends UN.
John O. Nelson, director of the
department of student relations of
the Presbyterian church of Phila

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

spirit unsullied from the materi

Surveys reported that at least half
of U. 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:
