Mr. Bell said that selective service and army authorities had recommend ed the following procedure for stu -'ents who are subject to the draft or who wtsh io volunteer: 1-All students (and others) who have received deferred classifications -will have their cases reviewed by their respective boards to see whether or not they should remain in their pres ent classification in view of the decla ration of war and the need of men in various fields as well as in the army, navy and marien corps. 2-Students will be notified in writ ing of any change in their classifica tion. Any student has the right of appeal from this new classification provided such appeal is made within five days after such change in status.

It is there fore the duty of each person to try to find the place where his abilities and training can be of the most ser vice to the country in this emergency, rather than consulting their own wishes and choices. In view of these facts, students are advised to: 1--Vait until you have received your classification before taking any final step. 2-When you receive your classifi cation ascertain from your local board the probable date of your induction, so that you can make'plans either to remain in school or to place yourself where you think you can serve most advantageously to the nation and yourself. Chi 3-If you are a junior or senior in Engineering, Chemistry, or allied sub- H jects, in which there is a serious shortage of manpower in this coun- M1 try, consult your professor about the S need of men in this field and supply Dr. your local board with a written state- sor of ment from your professor as to the Institv fact whether or not you can be placed the , in a field where there is a shortage Ameri and which is essential to the national ber it safety.
