SUNDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1955 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE T IT, SELECTIVE SERVICE TESTS: Student Status Defers Many 'U' Men By GERALD DeMAAGD Many University men may not be fully aware that it is their personal obligation to provide their Selective Service local boards with information about them- selves so that they may be de- ferred by claiming student status. The University Military Train- ing and Service Act provides that all males are subject to military service if they are between the ages of 181/2 and 26 and are citi- zens of the United States or resi- dent aliens. t When the student reaches his 18th birthday he should register on that date or within five days. University students may register with Selective Service local board No. 85, in Ann Arbor. Testing Project Set Up The Selective Service has a testing program to provide local boards with evidence of the rela- tive qualifications of registrants for college study. The Selective Service College Qualification test is prepared by Science Research Associates, and will be given Thursday, Nov. 17. The test will be given again in April. Applications for the Nov- ember test may be obtained from the local board at 208 W. Wash- ington St. All eligible registrants who wish to take the test should apply immediately. Applications for the November test must be postmarked not later than mid- night, Nov. 2. To be eligible to take the Selec- tive Service Qualification Test the student must be a Selective Ser- vice registrant who intends to re-l quest occupational deferment as" a student. He must be satisfactor- ily pursuing a full-time college course, undergraduate or gradu- ate, leading to a degree, and he must not have taken the test pre- viously. The Selective Service System has designated Science Research Associates to prepare and admin- ister the Selective Service College Qualification Test and to send each examinee's score to his Selec- tive Service local board of juris- diction. Science Research Associates acts only as a testing and reporting agency for the Selective Service System which makes all decisions regarding an examinee's selective service classification. 11 ANTICIPATION-Jerry Flatland, 158, seems confident as he looks at a sample copy of the Selective Service Qualification Test to be given on campus Nov. 17. li The University, advisor to stu- dents concerning their military status is J. Wesley Kurshildgen, Assistant to the Director of Regis- tration and Records. "We recom- mend that the student take the test as soon as possible after high school, that is, in their freshman or sophomore year as soon as they become registered," he said. Many students are under the impression that if they wait a while before they take the test they will be able to get a better score. In reply to this attitude Kurshildgen said, "Science Re- search Associates has studied this opinion and found that freshmen, U r' Number 2 Message for Freshmen i (Number 3 will follow) LEARN TO STUDY ON YOUR OWN THE ABILITY TO STUDY on your own implies self-direction and self. direction means that one is able to tap sources, glean and recognize facts, make deductions,-draw conclusions, act upon them and learn to accept the consequences of his actions. A student who has learned how to study on his own and to like it is really on the road to maturity and the teacher is n'eeded less and less. TL he five weeks grades are coming out soon, be prepared.
