Draft Director Curtis W.
Tarr recently notified
University students that even if
Congress permits him to end
student deferments, no
students will be drafted until
January.
The national draft bill was
stalled in a House-Senate
Conference Committee over a
controversial provision put in
by the Senate calling for a
withdrawal date from the
Indochina War.
Nobody has been drafted
since the old bill ran out in
July, though selective service
boards have continued to
process eligible, men in
anticipation ot eventual
Congressional passage of the
draft bill.
Congress reconvenes today
after a summer recess.
Tarr predicted no more than
50,000 men will be directly
affected in 1 972 by the
possible student deferment
phaseout. He said about half of
these men will not be inducted.
That 2 5,000. Tarr
explained, probably will

He noted that the draft
legislation on which Congress is
resuming debate would permit
those students who got student
deferments last school year or
earlier to keep them as long as
they make satisfactory progress
toward graduation.
But those who entered
school the past summer or this
fall will not be granted
deferments. However, Tarr
explained, no college students
will be drafted in mid-semester

or term.
Nebraska draft boards, like
others throughout the nation,
have been asked to hold off on
processing requests from new
college students tor military
deferments until Congress acts.
The Lincoln boards have
received few deferment
applications so far, but as
college registrations are
completed the number
normally rises, with deferment
action normally coming
sometime in October,
according to state selective
service director Lee Liggett.
Since a student deferment,
under the old law, carries with
it a nine-year extension of
eligibility for induction past
the normal cut-off age of 26,
the student who takes a
deferment now could actually
harm what national director
Tarr termed his "relatively
good chances of escaping the
draft."

and industry, and provide extra
money for part-time workers.
IN ADDITION TO his plan
for a system of institutes,
Varner also stressed that
besides developing economic
improvements, rural areas must
also develop more cultural'
resources.
"On the campuses of the
University of Nebraska are
assembled some of the finest
young artists in this part of the
country," Varner said. "Yet in
altogether too few instances
has it been possible to make
these special talents available
to the rural Nebraskan.'
HE SAID THE National
Endowments for the Arts
recently funded a tour of the
NU repertory theatre. In
Cozad, its production of
Macbeth played to 1,000 of
the town's 3,000 citizens,
Varner said.
He said federal support for
the National Endowment for
the Arts should be increased,
and the organization's program
expanded.
He said his institutes idea
was borrowed from the
concept of the Agricultural
Experiment Station and the
Agricultural Extension Service.
