Draft Report . . .
Gen. Guy Henninger: 'No
Deferment .Change Seen
Brig. Gen. Guy N. Henninger
announced Thursday that no mr
mediate change is pending in the
present deferment plan for col
lege students.
Henninger commenting on a re
port by the Department of Higher
Education of the National Edu
cation Association said that:
"There is a growing body of opin
ion, some of it held in the high
est government circles, that there
should be an end of college deter
ments:"; He pointed out, however,
that sometime in the next year,
the supply of registered selective
service men may become so short
that the present system will have
to be altered to end some defer
ments. This will naturally affect
student deferments, he said.
Henninger stressed th,v str
dents should not become alarmed
by . the persistent rumors which
arise that college deferments will
end. Students who are doing 3ood
work should definitely stay in
school, the general said.
Prof. T. J. Thompson, Dean of
Student Affairs, blasted the re
part for "upsetting the already
unsettled students of today."
There is only one way "to win
over any Asiasic power. Dean
i .ompson said, and that is
through knowledge. For this
reason, he believes, the gov
ernment will continue to rec
ognize the need for higher ed
ucation CoL James H. Workman, chair
man of the Military Science de
partment has received no official
information of any change. Work
man personally feels that there is
a definite need for higher educa
tion among our people.
We do not know how long the
present emergency will continue,
he said, but the supply of engi
neers and trained technicians is
very short and the training of
young people to fill future posi
tions should not be curtailed.
The entire deferment plan, ac
cording to Workman, should be a
compromise between the man
power needs of the armed forces
and the overall need of th coun
try for higher education.
While the draft may involve
only an interruption of educa
tion, he said, many veterans do
not continue their education
after discharge.
College students polled on
their reaction to the end of col
lege deferments agreed that
only students who were se
riously interested in their edu
' cation should be deferred.
"Why is it fair that poor kids
who cannot afford to come to col
lege should have to serve while
some college 'playboys' sit out
PSI Coeds
Give Papers
At Meeting
Jackie Hoss and Margaret
Trimble presented papers at the
December meeting of Phi Sigma
Iota, national romance language
honor society, Thursday night.
Miss Hoss' paper was oa "The
Spanish Carcilasco de la Vega"
and Miss Trimble's was The
Life and Modern Significance
of the Works of Luis de Con
gora." '
Phi Sigma lota was founded in
1922 Jor the purpose of encourag
ing high scholarship and indivi
dual research in the field of the
romance language and literatures
and for the promotion of amity
between our nation and the na
tions using these languages. The
romance .languages include
French, Spanish. Portuguese and
Romanian.
Active members in Phi Sigma
Iota are teachers and advanced
students of romance languages.
To be admitted a student must
be a junior, senior or graduate
student and must be taking- at
least third year French, or
Spanltih or second year Italian:
he or she must have high
scholastic standing, not only in
the romance languages, but in
the entire college course. Stu
dent members are chosen only
upon recommendation of the
faculty.
Individual chapters hold
monthly meetings to present pro-
made grams in keeping with the pur
lone of the society.

from Herman. The American with
a high school edycation already
has an educational advantage over
the Russian, McVeigh asserted.
that the present plan is somewhat
unfair to non-college students.
However, Livingston pointed out,
the government must have some
justification for the deferment
plan or it would not have been
continued.
Jerry Wolpa, Omaha, feels
that the college deferment plan
should be continued if the col
lege students involved maintain
a satisfactory average. Non
college students should not have
to go just because they could
not go to college, he said.
When all other qualifications
are equal, Wolpa believes, just as
many college students should be
called as non-college students.
Possibly the upper 500 of the male
student body would be permitted
to continued their education un
der this plan, Wolpa said.
Deferments should be nullified
for those who do .' '
the upper half of their class, ac
cording to BetineU
coin. The collegiate who ci.i to
college to have a good time should
not be allowed to stay out of serv
ice just because he is in college,
Martin said. The physical capabil
ities of the draftee and his pro
fessional choice should be also
considered in deferment Martin
believes.
Frank Sorenson of Lincoln
feels that the upper 2-3 of the
male student body should re
main in college with the excep
tion of law, engineering, pre
medical and pre-dental stu
dents and others whose training
is directly necessary for the
war effort These, he said,
should be allowed to continue
U their education an lonr a thev
can meet the requirements of
their college.
The report of the National Ed
ucation Association estimated that
the abandonment of the college
deferment plan would reduce to
duce total college enrollments by
one third or more "with disastrous
effects upon the colleges."
