Frosh Talkative
BY JAMES KORGES
Last evening, as I sat innocently
in the library reading some dull as-
signment or other, a violent mob de-
scended on my presence, threaten-
ing with those vile terms: "Fresh-
man or Sophmore?" Dumbfounded
(my usual state of mind) I managed
to relate to the anxious little van-
dals that "I am a Junior." They
sighed and carried away their Re-
jected, little bodies.
So I returned to reading some
dull assignment or other when
voices from the pits of Hell sound-
ed: Freshmen girls were talking.
One was almost tempted to chase
after theNnatauders, to beg a ride
to some deserted road just to escape
the wrath of those creaking giggles
which pass for the voices of this
years Freshman £irls.
. Peacefully, .at most any time of
the day, you can sit in the library
reading rooms and hear twelve con-
versations from three Freshman
girls. The jabbeering furries cuddle
in searing gossip and who knows
what all.
Well, the little vandals did hot
return, but those pseudo-females
kept up their snickering conversa-
tions and would not, at any insist-
ence, ear^y away their dejec£ed lit-
tle bodies.
Poetry
(Continued from Page 2)
formation of the Self and a reorien-
tation in the domain of our final
goals. This constitutes the' domain
of our final goals. This constitutes
true spiritual conversion of the
Self. *
Here is no misty profundity, but a
comprehensive and penetrating in-
terpretation of the genuine needs of
Western Man. Herg is a theme de-
serving of further study and elabor-
ation. The West cries out its need
for a competent interpreter of our
heritage, a new Philosophy of Spirit.
Science can tell us how to achieve
our goals, but only the insights of
Spirit can tell us the proper goals
to erect.
Faced with the threat of ah ex-
panding Communism which claims
the allegiance of a growing cult of
fanatical devotees, \frhere is West-
ern Man to find the necessal-y spiri-
tual resources to combat the threat?
What values can we offer the East
to gain their respect and allegiance ?
Professor Thomas has been of serv-
ice in being one among comparative
few contemporaries to make expli-
cit the need of a spiritual vision
embodying, such values as will cap-
ture the spiritual aspirations df all
mankind.—Fred Hagen
deferment as a student at the pres-
ent time is either a score of 70 oj
better on the Selective Service Col-
lege Qualification Test or class
standing among the male members
in the upper half of the freshman
class, upper two thirds of the soph-
omore class or upper three fourths
of the junior class. Seniors accepted
for admission to a graduate school
satisfy the criteria if they are
among the upper half, of the male
members of their senior class, or
they make a score of 75 or better.
Students already enrolled in grad-
uate schools may be considered for
deferment so long as they remain in
good standing.
These criteria are guides for the
local boards. The local boards are
under no compulsion to follow them,
but any local board clissification is
subject to appeal. The appeal must
be filed in writing with the local
board within ,10 days of the date
the local board mails the notice of
classification.
General Hershey also has repeat-
edly stressed that no deferment is
an exemption. "A deferment is a de-
lay or postponement," he said, "and
in no way cancels the duty of the
registrant to meet his obligations."
Many students have been confus-
ed in differentiating between the
I-S and II-S deferments. The II-S
deferment is considered on the basis
of class standing or qualification
test and is discretionary on the part
of the local board. It may be grant-
ed by the* local" board each success-
ive year, thus enabling students who
continue to meet the criteria to com-
plete their education.
The I-S deferment, on. the other
hand, is provided for by the law.
A college student ordered to report
for induction while he is satisfactor-
ily pursuing a full-time course is
entitled to this I-S deferment until
he finishes his academic year pro-
vided he has not had his induction
postponed or been deferred as a stu-
dent prior to June 19, 1951. He may
be given but one deferment and it
is incumbent upon him to notify his
local board of his status when he re-
ceives the order t oreport for in-
duction.
