New plans affecting all male students with 2S deferments
were announced recently by the Selective Service. In the
future students due to be reclassified will receive deferments
based on either academic standing in their classes or on the
results of a special qualification _ .
grades or tests, many will be aim¬
ing for both to be on the safe side.
The test will be given nationally
on May 14, May 21, and June 3.
Test applications will be avail¬
able before April 1 and must be
mailed before April 23 to the Sci¬
ence Research Associates of Chi¬
cago. The test will be adminis¬
tered in 1200 locations through¬
out the United States.
According to Selective Service
sources, about one million out of
1.8 million who hold the 2S defer¬
ment will take the test. Students
are urged to take the test because
“it provides one more bit of cri¬
teria the local board may consid¬
er in determining which students
are apparently more promising
than others.”
A maximum of three hours will
be allowed to complete the 150
items on the test. The test is de¬
signed to measure four skills:
reading comprehension, verbal re¬
lations, arithmetic reasoning, and
data interpretation.
Undergraduate and graduate
students now enrolled in college,
as well as high school graduates
are eligible to take the test. How¬
ever, the test may be taken only
once.
A certain score on the test does
not mean that a person is auto¬
matically deferred. The results of
the test are forwarded to the stu¬
dent’s local board where the score
becomes one of the criteria the lo¬
cal board will use to make up its
mind.
With two ways of earning a de¬
ferment possible, this new system
is probably as fair as it can be,
but there has been some comment
from colleges and universities
across the land.
Dr. Buell Gallagher, president
of New York City College, and
Dr. John Weaver, vice-president
of Ohio State, were both concern¬
ed that students at more competi¬
tive colleges would not be defer¬
red while a mediocre student at
a poor college would receive the
deferment.
Charles E. Liesenfelt, assistant
to the recorder of the University
of Minnesota and chairman of his
county draft board, said that the
new system was “about as fair as
you can possibly get.”

OMD Theme Contest
For all of you Lancers who
have waited with bated breath
to guess the theme of the 1966
OMD Carnival, here are clues
three and four: (3) Everybody’s
got to have a cocoanut when he
visits this year’s OMD Carnival.
(4) Sunshine, splash, and splen¬
dor against the background of
exotic flowers set the atmo¬
sphere for the carnival in May.
The first two clues published in
last week’s Courier are: (1) The
meeting of the tradewinds is the
location of our - ; and (2)
Soft breezes and drifting clouds
create a mood of enchantment
at this year’s OMD Carnival.
OMD, the highest honorary
service organization on campus,
will award $10 to the lucky Lan¬
cer who correctly guesses the
theme of this year’s carnival.
The contest ends tomorrow, so
don’t delay; submit your theme
today.
My guess for the theme is:

International Club Stresses Culture
The newly elected president of the International
Club, Irshad el Haque, here on a foreign student
visa from Pakistan, has announced the donation of
$500 to the International Club Scholarship Fund
by radio and TV personality Arthur Godfrey.
“This was made possible by the efforts of last
semester’s president, Ardy Afkhami, who worked
very hard for the club,” Haque said.
Every year two PCC students receive Internation¬
al Club scholarships. One winner is American, the
other foreign. The International Club Scholarship
Fund was started in 1957 to recognize the education¬
al achievement of foreign students studying at PCC.
Ali Rheza from Iran was this year’s fall semes¬
ter winner. Funds from the scholarship come from
the proceeds of the club. Adviser to the club is
Miss Josephine Nissley.
According to Gloria Polanco, this semester’s
International Club vice-president who is from
Guatemala, a membership drive will be held today
and tomorrow at tables in front of Sexson Audito¬
rium. She said the purpose of the club is “to foster
a better social understanding among foreign stu¬
dents and Americans on campus.” Miss Polanco also
mentioned that this semester the club will put spe¬
cial emphasis on various cultural activities “be¬
cause one must understand the culture of a foreign
person before one can understand the individual.”
Haque urges the student body to take advantage
of membership. “For only $1 they are entitled to
all the dances sponsored by the club, and what is
more important, they can meet and get to know
people of many lands who are eager to meet and
know the Americans.”
They hope to recruit some 300 members this
semester. The club has been the largest student
organization on campus for many years, with over
two-thirds of the membership being Americans.
