PAGE FIVE FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1956 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE IWE DRAFT EXPLAINED: Students Deferred on Occupational Basis By EDWARD GERULDSEN One of the primarf criteria for the Selective Service classifica- tion of draft-age men is the im-' portance, in the judgment of his local board, of his occupation in the "maintenance of ntesnation- Under this provision for the de- ferment of men engaged in acti- vities adjudged necessary to the national health, safety or Inter- est, certain qualified college stu- dents may arrange to postpone the fulfillment of their military obligation until after graduation. Some time after a student reg- isters, his local board will mail him a classification questionnaire, which must be filled out and re- turned within 10 days. This should include any information which he feels might affect his classifica- tion. SAppeal Permitted * If the student feels he has been improperly classified, he may ap- -peal the board's decision in writ- mng, or request a personal appear- ance, or both. To aid in classification$ of ccl- lege students, the Selective Serv- ice System sponsors a special Col- lege Qualification Test twice yEach$ student may take the test only once during his college ca- reer, and must achieve a score of 70 or better to be eligible for con- sideration for deferment on the basis of the test results. The test, administered by. the Science Research Associates of Chicago, Ill., will next be given on April 18, 1957. Applications for this test may be procured from any local board, and must be submitted by March1 5, 1957. Class Standing Another criteria of eligibility ihe os tdn' class standng. f a student may apply for defer- ment if, in his fresl7man year, he achieves a scholastic standing Publicity Top Factor in Future Elecions, Says Dem. Chairman (Continued from Page 1) Staebler felt that Gov. G. Men- nen Williams, who was re-elected for his fifthi term, received a "qute fai pes" But it wa "frfrom athat i.many outstat areas." Staebler suggested, wasv that "we've got a good administration here in Michigan. A lot of people are aware that they're having good government. They are not quite so sure on the legislative ~'side." Contact With People The ascendancy of the Demo- cratic Party in Michigan, the state chairman commented, is Slargely attributable to "contact with the people" established under Gov. Williams. "We've got a good product and a lot of good people selling it." As to the future, Staebler con- firmed reports that Gov. Williams is seriously considering ending his ten years as governor with a bid for the seat of Sen. Charles Pot- ter, a Republican, which expires in two years. But he "hasn't made up his mnind and he won't for a Beyond that, Chairman Staebler says it's "too early to make a pre- diction," but he does not rule out the possibility of Gov. Williams becoming the Democratic Presi- dential nominee in 1960. Te "likeliest candidate," how- ever, would be Pennsylvania's Gov. George Leader. "Me's been an outstanding governor and is clear- ly a possibility," Staebler said. "But the party is rich in can- didates-let's not use the word rich-we're fortunate in having a number of fine governors and senators." Suggests Possibilities Others he suggested were Gov. Orville Freeman of Minnesota, Sen. John Kennedy of Massachu- setts, Sen. Hubert Humphrey of Minnesota, Sen. Estes Kefauver of Tennessee, this year's Vice- Presidential nominee, and Sen. Wayne Morse of Oregon, whose Presidential candidacy he termed "not entirely outside the realm of possibility.", As for twice-defeated candidate Adlai Stevenson, Staebler said while "he has sa great following in the country, I do not see a candidacy at the national level.", He called it "entirely possible" Stevno iht sek anther election as governor of Illinois o a seat in the Senate. "Within the party he will con- tinue to have great influence. He is the most articulate person that we have in the Party.", Staebler, who supported Stev- enson at the convention after Gov. Williams withdrew his fav- orite-son candidacy, felt in retro- spect that he was the strongest possible candidate. But "I don't think the Democratic ticket made any difference" in the election. The President, he speculated, would have won no matter whom the Democrats had nominated. The 1960 election will be a dif- ferent story, he predicted. It would be "most astonishing'' if Vice - President Richard Nixon were not the Republican candi- date, and the Republicans will "trouble" trying to give him the same publicity buildup Staebler feels President Eisenhower re- ceived. which ranks him in the upper one- half of the full-time male students in his class. In his sophomore year, the stu- dent must rank within the upper two-thirds of his class to be de- f erred f or his junior year. Inth is junior year, he must rank within the upper three-fourths to be eli- gible for deferment to complete his senior year. To establish eligibility for a de- ferment based on graduate school work, a student must attain a test score of 80 or be ranked in the top one-fourth of the male students in his last under-gradu- ate year. Healing Arts The requirement for students in a professional school of the heal- ing arts is a test score of 70 or a rank in the upper one-half of his class in his last undergradu- ate year., A student meeting one or both' of the above criteria (test score and class standing) is eligible for Tereis o a 1-S () classi are entitled. If a registrant has been ordered to report for Induction, he may be deferred by requesting the Uni- versity to send the local board certification that he is satisfac- torily pursuing a full-time course of study. Written Request In addition, he must make a written request that he be con- sidered for fdeferment in a 1-S If granted, this will permit him to complete the current academ- ic year. At the end of that time, he may apply for 2-S classifica- fion for the next year. Information concerning any stuen'sclass standing is pro- vided by the college or university on Selective Service form 109. The applicant must request his col- lege registrar to submit the com- pleted form to his local board. In communicating with any unit of the Selective Service System - national, state or local - a stu- dent must be sure to include his full name and selective service number. The selective service number consists of four elements - 28- 12-36-286, for example. The first number denotes the state (in this case New Jersey)'. The second is the number of the local board, the third is the year of birth, and the fourth de- notes the order of birth among the registrants under the juris- diction of that board born in that year. Many students also have avail- able to them the various military officer procurement programs, as the ROTC. Men who are certified as satis- factorily participating in such a program are eligible for deferment in class 1-D. More Information More information concerning this means of deferment may be secured from the officer in charge at the University in the depart- ment in which the student is in- terested (Army, Navy, Air Force ROTC or Marine platoon leaders' class). Every able-bodied man between the ages of 1812 and 26 has a mandatory military obligation of eight years. There are a number of ways of fulfilling that obliga- tion. A student may devofe three years to a military program in college plus two years active duty and three years In ready reserve. Otherwise he must spend two to four years on active duty, depend- inug on the branch of service, ad the rest in ready reserve,an [I] Ara-seenonly by US. exlrr SArea not seen by U. 5. explorers but explored by others.

Bethell, Director of the Institute. It has been established that the ailment is a deficiency disease caused by a physiological inabil- ity to absorb vitamin B-12 from the diet. The researchers are trying to discover the cause of this inabil- ity, giving special emphasis to the properties of the secretions in the stomach 'which affect the absorption into the blood of the vitamin. It has been demonstrated at the Institute that the efficient absorption of vitamin B-12 re- quires that the vitamin first be chemically bound to a vitamin present in gastric juice. Itowever, the relationship of this binding action to the absorp- tion is not yet understood. thsOideasugess ha a makes the vitamin "unavailable" to intestinal organisms which might use the substance for their own growth. In this way the vitamin could be conserved until it reaches a place in the digestive tract where it can be absorbed. The second hypothesis suggests that by combining with certain protein molecules in gastric juice, vitamin B-12 is brought into close contact with the absorptive sur- face of the intestines by means of "receptors" on the intestinal wall. Experiments recently performed at the Institute in which a com- pound closely related to vitamin B-12 - which, can substitute for it in microbial, but not mammal- ian metabolisms -- has been used, indicate that the latter hypothe- sis may be correct. These observations point the way toward the solution of cer- tain nutritional problems. If the means by which higher organisms are able to separate and d igest essential nutrients now in foods only in minute quantities can be solved, a means of more ef- ficient extraction, either in the human digestive system or in the laboratory, might be found. Other aspects of study at Simp- son, according to the report, have been the extension of research and diagnosis in the study of ab- normal functions in a variety of blood disorders, particularly other types of anemia. A project now in progress will study the anemia associated with chronic kidney disease and the In- fluence of the element cobalt on it' It has been shown that cobalt has a favorable effect on the util- ization of iron for red blood cell production in patients with kidney cooperation with the Radio-iso- tope Unit of the Veteran's Ad- ministration Hospital. This unit is also cooperating in studies of the aging process of the red blood cefl, using radioactive chromium as a tracer. The significance of these stu- dies lies in the shortened life span of the red blood corpuscle, which characterizes many forms of ane- mia. During the past year, these stu- dies have been extended to eval- uate the role of the spleen in the destruction of these blood cells. Since the spleen is an important site of destruction for aging red blood corpuscles, the measure- ment of the radioactive chromi- um In this organ gives informa- tion regarding the extent of cell destruction within.

A day of reckon- ing is likely to be brought closer by the current surge of South Polar activity and interest stem- ming from the elaborate scientific studies to be carried out by 11 different nations this year and next as part of tlle International Geophysical Year. No, Claim Yet Although the United States has not yet made any claim, she ob- vioslyis acting asthough she ripe, The most recent evidence of this Is a map released in Wash- ington by the government, identi- fied solely as "one of a series of maps issued periodically to show the progress of exploration.", The map, basis for the accom- panying Illustration, indicates that U.S. explorers have investi- gated far more of the Antarctic terrain than those of all other nations combined. It also shows that only approxi- mately one-third of the continent is still unexplored.- Discovery and exploration, how - ever, are not the sole support fo: a claim of ownership. Also im- portant are occupation and con- trol. Operation Deep Freeze A sizable chunk of the U.S. exploration shown on the map came last year during phase one of Operation Deepfreeze. Navy crews made nine flights into the interior from a bumpy landing strip on the ice at McMurdo Sound, flying over the South Pole four times, discovering a new mountain range, and taking pic- tures over what was estimated at the time to be one million square miles of previously "unknown" territory. *Judging from the new map, the United States considers "explor- ed" the land 50 miles to each side of an aircraft's line of flight. Phase one of Operation Deep- freeze had the primary job of set- ting up supply bases for American IGY stations to be established this year. Last week advanced units of a Navy expedition reached the contingent of Seabees who spent the long South Polar winter (sum- mertime in the United States) at Little America and McMurdo Sound. Soon the new men will tackle their toughest and most ramatic assignment: building a scientific station at the South Pole itself.
