To men students or the
University of Kentucky:
Most of the requests for selective service deferments in the
cases of University students are
being inadequately or imporp-erl- y
presented, with the result
that Draft Board No. 42 is not
in a position to pass intelligently on them.
The chief fault to date is
simply that the requests have
not been accompanied by letters of endorsement from the
Defense council, which has
been designated officially to act
in the case. We are sure that
you students readily will realize that a request for deferment, lodged by the registrant
himself and unenforced by University faculty representatives in
a position to evaluate his m'ork
is largely without significance
to us. We feel that any student
deferment,
to be justifiable,
should be based on the conditions of good scholastic standing, energy, intelligence, interest and consequent promise of
real contribution in the student's field of work.
It is not within the realm of
possibility for us to determine
this question for ourselves; nor
can we regard a mere request
for deferment as proof that the
conditions are satisfied. As a
consequence, through an arrangement with University officials, we are relying upon the
Defense council, not for an actual determination of any classification, but for helpful guidance in it. And we must have
it understood that WITHOUT

Thompson explained that most of
the petitions presented thus far by
students have not been passed by
proper University faculty represen- tatives and are not acceptable.
Scholastic standing, interest, and
I
promise of contribution from the
student's field of work to the defense program are the factors considered by the board. A simple request by a student cannot be ac- cepted as grounds for deferment,
Thompson says.
Recommendation by the Defense
board, though used only for guid- ance, is necessary, Thompson insists.
the draft board is to pass intel1 if
ligently on the applications.
The deferment applications print- ed by the University and filled out
by students are useful and neces- sary, but are inadequate in them- selves, Thompson's letter points out.

Assistant News Editors

Speaking as one to whom the
state of national and world affairs
is of vital concern because of the
imminence of my participation in
a war, I wish to analyse for myself,
even if not for others, the world
scene as I see it. I wish to understand exactly what part I am going
to play in the world order for the
duration of my life.
In a short while I shall join mil- lions of other young American men,
from all walks of life, in the Ameri- can army. I shall be trained to be
a soldier. This means, to me, that
I shall be taught how to shoot to
kill, how to destroy the lives of
fellows on the other side. To me,
that is all a soldier is meant to do.
The ordinary soldier will tell you,
if you ask him why he would kill
an opponent. "If I don't kill him.
he'll kill me."

And all anuntd we hear the hymns ol hate
and statements like "The only way 10 keep peace
iil the woild is lo Ix ai the German
down, Iterause ihey have the idea that ihev aie
ilie iae dstined lo rule." Then we know that
no matter who wins the war there is going to
be another vindictive peace ireatv, and the
hojtes and ideals we soaked rip in college are not
going to le carried out.

That

is

ti

down the newsiaier
why we
leeling so strongly thai this war is

sopping up lives and resources thai should have
been used lettering mankind, and yet knowing
that tlu 10 is nothing we can do to slop it. All
around us we see people untroubled with "ideas"
satisfied with entering the war just to win il and
the Germans. They cannot see and don't
want to see any farther than the end of the
'war. And we. who were taught literature and
pliilosophv.a'iid xtlitical theory find that we
can do noising againsl it.
We lxk askance at newspaper sioiies alxml
the war, because we have been taught most of
are censored and are not 10 be believed
it
blindly. We are dubious alxtui swallowing what
we lead in magazines and hooks alxtui il because thev too could lie prejudiced. For every
allegedlv "informed" commentator we can find
tin
or four to say he's misleading. Yet, all
around us we see I lie people not bothered bv
"education" content with what they read in
I.ilirrty and hear from Waller Wine hell and
satisfied thai l his is a great holy war ctf ihe
Good People againsl fhe Bad People. We feel
the terrible truth that America is being led
into a war with no knowledge of what she is
going lo fight foi .

that piitbablv is the truth.

'41 Outlook Is Brighter

As Jobs Stalk Graduates
By FRED HILL
Of all the weird situations which
have developed out of the National
Defense Act and the resultant
economic and social unrest, one of
the strangest is the twists taken in
relations between college graduates
on the
and prospective
employers.
Even as late as last spring the
collegians were on the
offensive the pursuers and the
employers on the detensive the
pursued. But suddenly the picture
has been reversed.
Reports from what are probably
