Thompson Urges Men to Take Draft Tests
All students should take Se
lective Service College Qualifi
cation tests, If possible, said
Dean T. J. Thompson, Dean of
Student Affairs, Wednesday,
"We think," said Dean Thomp
son, "despite the fact that there
is an opportunity to by-pass
tests by students who have high
scholastic records, everyone to
whom 1 haye officially talked as
well as representatives of the
American Council of Education,
believe all students should take
tests If possible."
Dean Thompson continued,
"The student should also take
note of the fact that the cut-off
grade levels have not been of
ficially established, but it is be
lieved the level will not be far
Irom those recommended by
General Hershey. This test is
not open to high school students,
as we understand; they are,
however, open to graduate stu
dents." "State Selective Service head
quarters Indicates that It will not
be possible for students who are
registered to make application of
their local Selective hervlce
board after April 16," said
Thompson.
