The Administration's latest
move on college deferments is.
very unfortunate. Although it
won't affect those of us in col
lege at the present time, it will
affect students in the future.
Ending college deferments
would be a mistake.
The point Is that a high
school senior would either
waste two years at odd jobs or
be plucked out of college in his
sophomore year when his lot
tery number came up.
STATISTICS show that those
who leave don't, on the whole,
come back to college. Since a
deferment is just a deferment
and the student will have to
serve eventually anyway, what
is the justification for jerking a
student out midway through his
education?
It is in the best interests of
the country to have as many
college-trained people as
possible, so one would think
that college deferments would
be or should be retained.
HOWEVER, unless
something is done (ie. Congress

doesn't pass the bill) we can
kiss college deferments good
bye. That something could be a
letter-writing campaign to our
senators and representatives,
not to mention our President.
I hope that enough students
care enough to write two or
three letters to Congressmen on
the subject.

Editor,
I read a letter in the April 24
issue of the Daily Nebraskan
that should not stand as the last
word.
The letter suggests that col
lege students at the University
have demanded a free educa
tion. Fortunately the people in
Nebraska and the governors
they have elected have been, to
date, a little smarter than that.
This state and nation are
founded on free education for
all its citizens.
He further suggests that
students opposed to Senator
Clifton Batchelder's proposals
to stop higher educaton in the
state be ashamed of telling

people that part of their taxes
go to improve education in
Nebraska. These individuals,
our writer says, chose to work
instead of go to college. They
also had an opportunity to go to
this university or a number of
state colleges but chose not to.
A NUMBER of people pay
taxes for services that do not
directly benefit them . . . even
students, believe it or not, work
during the year or during the
summer and we are also con
stantly purchasing
items . . .we pay taxes too. Do
we benefit from the financial
support high schools receive?
Not directly, since we are
already graduates, but, in spite
of the letter's charges, we are
rational enough to see the value
of this support to society.
Maybe you don't like paying

taxes to support something that
you cannot see any direct value
in. Few people do. But most
people recognize the need for
higher education and most
people see the need for taxation
in areas you may not agree
with as an individual.
I respect Mr. . Batchelder's
attempts to get elected and
change the tax system that
way. But he will not be elected.
Furthermore he need not come
to the University charging
them with trying to take over
the people's right to see-where
their tax goes or try and make
them feel guilty because they
cannot afford to pay the total
cost of their education when
society also reaps benefits.
I BELIEVE in higher educa
tion and I am proud of it.
