41 1 FOUR THE MICHIGAN DAILY TbUtUiDAX, JUNE 28, 1951 FOUR T1iUt$~DAY, JUNE 28, 1951 --W -i DEFERMENTS 'FADE AWAY': New UMT Law Alters Draft Status for Many The Universal Military Training and Service law which President Harry Truman signed last week may mean that the draft defer- ments for at least 370,000 men are going to "fade away" within the next few months. Among this number will be those with only one dependent-. classified 3-A-, some mental and physical 4-Fs, plus a small num- ber of aliens and conscientious objectors. BUT THERE is no necessity for anyone in any of these categories to start closing up shop right away. Selective service headquar- ters expects the complicated re- classification and induction ma- chinery to delay the inductions at least until late August. Only if those classified 3-A have acquired more thai one dependent or if the one depen- dent would suffer hardship and privation will the 3-As be al- lowed to remain such. Other- wise, they will be reclassified starting from scratch. If the 3-A has a wife who is pregnant, a doctor's statement to that effect sent to the draft board will allow him to stay in this cate- gory. A similar type of statement from such disinterested people as the family doctor or minister is necessary in the case of a depen- dent who would suffer hardship or privation. * * * ALTHOUGH the army says its physical standards are already as low as they were during the "bar- rel scraping" period of 1945, the mental standards are going to be lowered now. Physical 4-Fs will probably retain their category unless their condition has improved, but mental 4-Fs can expect to be ordered to their boards to take the Armed Services Qualification Test again. The 45-minute ASQT has been designed to measure a man's abil- ity to learn, not his education. To pass it, however, a man does need the minimum knowledge of Eng- lish and arithmetic given in grade school. PREVIOUS to the new law, a "percentile score" of less than 13 was necessary for mental defer- ment. That meant that 13 per cent of the population as a whole -not just the draftees-would flunk it. The new law requires that only the bottom 10 per cent will fail. All ASQT flunkees may not be called up for reclassification, but certainly those who previously scored between 10 and 13 will be. The army estifnates that 200,000 men who have been classified 3-A will be reclassified. Until they are, the organized air, naval or marine reserve corps will still ac- cept them. They also expect to claim over 150,000 mental 4-Fs. All the information in the draft record will be considered by the board, and they will decide if those affected by the new law are eligible for the 2-A(s) students category, the 2-A category for es- sential workers, or the 2-C cate- gory for essential farm workers. 'Union Ends Meal Plans For Sunday Dining room service at the Un- ion will be suspended this sum- mer each Sunday in July and the first three Sundays in August. However, the cafeteria will be open to unescorted women from 2:30 to 5 p.m. on the same days. REASONS FOR these changes are plans of the League to termi- nate meal service at 3 p.m. Sun- days and expectation by the Un-, ion of many women visitors dur- ing the summer session. Women escorted by members of the Union will be welcome during the regular week-day cafeteria hours. They will have few other privi- leges in the Union, since the bowling alleys will not be open and the billiard room was closed to women last May. * * * THE SWIMMING pool will be open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. ev- ery day except Tuesday, when the Department of Physical Education for Women wil be using it from 7 to 10 p.m. The soda bar will be open from noon to 10 p.m. every day, with service extended to include Sun- days. Guest facilities for overnightl guests and members will be avail-I able throughout the summer term.j FIRST OFFENDER--An unidentified second grade teacher, who recently closed up shop in a well-known East Lansing school, is caught red-handed in the first summer violation of the Univer- sity's auto restrictions. The coed, a graduate student in anatomy, drove to a nearby lake with a male companion, forgetting that the summer recreational privilege applies to driving to outdoor sports of a group nature. She attempted to explain away her bold undertaking by maintaining that her male companion was a schizophrenic. Vacuum Cleaners May A id A liergy/ Sufferers Baler Blasts St. Lawrence Project Plans Prof. Louis A. Baier, chairman of the University Department of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering, blasted the proposed St. Lawrence Seaway project as economically unsound and unreal- istic in terms of modern shipping. "Construction of the St. Law- rence Seaway and on the improve- ments that would be necessary in many of our Great Lakes ports makes the cost of the project an unwise *xpendituxe of money, time and material," Prof. Baier said. HE POINTED out that tremen- dously expensive dredging opera- tions would be needed to make the waterway deep enough for sea- going vessels and to make such ports as Bufalo and Detroitac- cessible. Present-day shipping designs require waterways at least 35 feet deep for sea-going vessels, which is eight feet more than the planned 27 food depth for the seaway. Even if the seaway were com- pleted, he noted, climatic condi- tions would permit shipping for only 240 days out of the year. As a result the project would not ful- fill the transportation needs of the Labrador-Quebec region dur- ing the wintertime. American standards of living and working conditions of modern shipping vessels have climbed to such a peak that economic de- mands call for large crafts that can handle enormous cargoes, Professor Baier said. Under the proposed seaway plans, only foreign "tramp" steamers operating with substan- dard living conditions and cap- able of carrying but a fraction of the tonnage of large American ships, would be able to navigate the project.

For EXTENSIVE RESEARCH re- sults with various kinds of nebu- lizer (fine spray) equipment are described by Drs. JohnM. Sheldon, Robert G. Lovell and Kenneth P. Mathews of the Allergy Clinic at University Hospital. Usually, patients with chronic chest and sinus infections must take mouth sprays of penicillin, streptomycin, adrenalin or other prescribed drugs, about four times a day. The nebulizer can be hand oper- ated, which is ofen exhausting for the very sick person, or it can be operated by a tank of compressed oxygen but this is & rather expen- sive mechanism for many persons, THE DOCTORS discovered that by using about ninety cents of tubing, a gallon jug and a vacuum cleaner with a blower exhaust, a very effective arrangement for op- erating a nebulizer could be pro- vided. Two strips of rubber tubing are used in the set-up. One tube is connected to the cleaner's exhaust outlet and a gallon jug half-filled with water. The other tube also connects with the jug while its other end is attached to the ne- bulizer. When the vacuum cleaner is turned on, the blower forces air through the tubes and up into the compartment where the medicine is contained. Washington Firm Wins Contract The contract for the basic su- perstructure of the Medical Re- search Building has been given to Jeffress-Dyer, Inc. of Washing- ton, D.C. Vice-President W. K. Pierpont announced that work is to start at once on the $2,343,000 contract, which includes the main unit of the building but does not provide for the two wings which will house the library and the auditorium. 4. 1 A QUIET PLACE TO DINE!
