HUPD Chief Says Harvard Yard Encampment is Peaceful, Defends Students’ Right to Protest
Last week's Selective Service regulation which classified Law School students as undergraduates is not expected to have any effect on the status of business students. General Lewis B. Hershey's office feels that, since law men are seeking a bachelor's degree and lege degree, such students should be considered just as if they were seeking a regular B.A. Those studying for a master's degree should not have their status affected, however.
While University and Selective Service authorities atempt to clarify the position of law students, graduates registering on the other side of the Charles still have their draft worries.
Assistant Secretary of Defense Anna M. Rosenberg told a conngressional committee last week that student deferments might be cancelled altogether during the coming year. And Army authorities stated this week that more students might have to be taken this year to replace Korean veterans who "will be rotated before Christmas" according to Chief of Staff General J. Lawton Collins.
Reserve calls are also expected to increase, students have been warned.
Business School officials have stated that enrollment has not been overly disturbed during the summer by the draft. Theoretically, under the present law, once a man has been deferred he can count on completing his two years and getting his M.B.A. without checks on his class standing and the like.
