Students Offered
Trial Draft Quiz
WASHINGTON-(P)-Want to take a little test of the kind that
will be given to college students seeking deferment from the
draft?
Here are some sample questions prepared by the Educational
Testing Service, famed examining organization.
That is the same outfit which will give the crucial test this
spring and summer to help decide whether students are drafted
or continue their studies,.
These questions are culled from a sample examination which
drafthboards will distribute for the information of students next
month.
The questions given here are not fully representative because,
for one thing, part of the examination involves mathematical symbols
and charts which can not readily be transmitted by telegraph.
DIRECTIONS: Read the passage below and then answer the ques-
tions following it. Each question consists of an incomplete state-
ment followed by five suggested completions, only one of which is
correct. After reading the passage, answer each of the questions
following it by choosing the correct completion.
A very common phenomenon, and one very familiar to the
student of history, is this. The beliefs or needs of a primitive
time establish a rule or a formula. In the course of centuries
the belief or necessity disappears, but the rule remains. The
reason which gave rise to the rule has been forgotten, and in-
genious minds set themselves to inquire how it has been accounted
for. Some ground of policy is thought of which seems to explain
it and to reconcile it with the present state of things; and then
the rule adapts itself to the new reasons which have been found
for it and enters on a new career. The old form serves a new
content and in time even the form modifies itself to fit the mean-
ing which it has received.
* * * *
1. According to the passage, rules often: 1-Have no reason for
their origin; 2-Have no function at all; 3-Drop out of use before
their work is done; 4--Survive the reasons for their establishment;
5-Appear ridiculous to the people.
2. The passage is chiefly concerned with: 1-The need for orig-
inality; 2-The persistence of tradition; 3-The fact that human
nature has always been the same; 4-The lack of common sense in
human conduct; 5-The purposelessness of human behavior.
3. Which one of the following offers the best contemporary ex-
ample of a "new career" for an "old form", in the sense described in
the passage: 1-The atomic bomb; 2-National armies; 3-Agricul-

Paul Bunyan, the great legend-
ary northwoodsman, and his big
blue ox, Babe, have turned Red.
The Russian newspaper Vladi-
vostock is now claiming that Rus-
sian loggers were the first to
make up stories of a mighty lum-
berjack named Paulski Bunyano-
vitch.
According to Vladivostock, the
stories of Paulski traveled to
America by way of Siberia and
Alaska.
To most people, big Bunyan
is known as a mythical charac-
ter conceived by American lum-
berjacks. Now he has been add-
ed to the fast growing list -of
Russian "firsts" which also in-
cludes invention of the airplane,
telephone, an d upside-down
parachutes.
F u t u r e lumberjack, David
Yates, '53, laughed upon hearing
the Russian claim: "The least the
Russians could do is use some
imagination and invent their own
myths," he said.
Clark Bothfeld, '52, also a for-
estry student, suggested that vod-
ka should be served at the next
Paul Bunyan Formal.

Three out of every four mem-
bers of a group of University men
students taking the sample defer-
ment test printed above, posted
scores on the safe side of 70 per-
cent in an informal spot check
conducted yesterday on the cam-
pus by Daily reporters.
Washington officials have hint-
ed that the passing mark for the
exam will be 70 out of a possible
perfect score of 100.
All told, 60 men, from the fresh-
men to the graduate level, tried
their skill on the 12 questions. In
order to surpass the 70 percent
mark, the students had to answer
nine out of the 12 questions cor-
rectly.
Of the number 15 students
failed to select the right answers
to more than eight of the ques-
tions. Lowest score posted was
five correct. Freshmen tended to
score lower than upper classmen.
Seven perfect scores were re-
ported.
The survey did not employ sci-
entific methods and was intended
only to gain a rough estimate
rather than a scientifically-correct
result. Students averaged about
12 minutes to complete the exam.
