Those eligible for the draft are single men between the ages of eighteen and twenty-six who have never been members of the Armed Forces. Foreign students who are in the country as non-quota immi- grants are exempt. HOWEVER, FINAL classifica- tion of students will not occur un- til the results of their draft tests have been received by the draft board and their academic stand- ing has been determined. Deferment can be gained by the student on the basis of the score received on the college qualification test and on his class standing. Either or both of these are sufficient for defer- ment, but the final decision in the case of each student will be made by that student's draft board. THOSE STUDENTS who did not take the test last Saturday will be able to do so on June 16 and 30. Deferments will be given to prospective seniors who are in the upper three-fourths of their junior class, prospective juniors w h o stand in the upper two-thirds of their sophomore class and future sophomores in the upper half of their freshman class. Students who have received or- ders for induction or instructions to report for induction, will have them postponed until the results of the test and a report on the student's scholastic standing have been received by his draft board. However, in no case will a stu- dent's induction be postponed be- yond August 20. If the student fails to meet the necessary requirements for defer- ment, he may request a thirty day postponement of induction, during which time he may join the armed service of his choice or get a job in an essential industry. This rul- ing also applies to college gradu- ates. By MIKE SCHERER An ex-Brooklynite who doesn't have time to follow the Dodgers is Prof. George 'Granger Brown, dean-elect of the University's Col- lege of Engineering. Prof. Brown, an avid baseball fan in his prep school days, finds that with his present duties he just doesn't have time to keep up with his old hobbies. He will take over the office held by Dean Ivan D. Crawford July 1. * * * RESEARCH PROJECTS and teaching classes have limited the professor to a routine which in- cludes more than 60 working hours a week, besides numerous speaking engagements. Although the newly appointed Dean confesses that he has had little time recently for leisure and vacationing, he does take advantage of opportunities to sail on Lake Michigan. During 1949, Prof. Brown's last real vacation, he was a crew mem- ber in the annual Macmnac is- land race. He admits candidly that they didn't place too well. Even at the age of 54 the engi- neer and scientist looks like the athlete he was in college. He stands six feet, one inch tall and weighs 212 pounds. "I Just man- age to stay near the boiling point, he says. * * * AT NEW YORK University Prof. Brown played varsity foot- ball and ran on the track team. In his first years as a professor at the University, he built a ten- nis court at his home and played frequently. Shortly before the outbreak of World War I the professor was married to Dorothy B. Martin. They now have a family of three engineers: George, 32 years old, a professor of chemical enlgi- neering at Northwestern Uni- versity; Judson, 30 years old, now a professional engineer; and David, 24 years old, who is also an engineer. All three sons attended the University. An engineer for more than 20 years himself, Prof. Brown has made numerous contributions to science through his research work. His special field has been in pe- troleum products. During crucial war years he devised a much- needed process for tripling the output of certain Canadian oil fields. This method became known as the Brown plan for petroleum conservation. ONE OF THE highlights of his career, according to the professor, was being elected to the presiden- cy of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers in 1945. In 1949 he was named Director of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commis- sion's Division of Engineering. Prof. Brown is a public speak- er of unusual merit, particularly when debating. He strongly supports the debate as a demo- cratic means of solving prob- lems, and deplores the modern "expert" whose word alone can solve an argument. Much of the Professor's oratory has been done in the courtroom where he has appeared in many lawsuits as a technical advisor and witness. One of his pet peeves is the crafty lawyer who tries to trick him into a false answer by demanding a one word response. "I believe in explaining my ideas fully in such situations," he ex- plained. }, i jI I..
