To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

I have been reading with interest and stupefication the reports in your newspaper of possible military deferment for all students. It is conceivable that some students in some specialized fields of study, i.e., medicine and engineering, may be of greater service to our country at their work in college than in the Army. But it is rather difficult to imagine that all college students would fit into this category of vital service to their country.

At a time when there is a great need to bridge the gulf between college and non-college people of college graduates are to assume places of leadership in their communities, such a policy of indiscriminate deferment to all college students would widen this gulf in causing rightful indignation by all those not favorably affected by such an unwarranted deferment policy.
