Hrig. Gen. Louis H. Renfrow, v dieputy director, asked that stu- q denits take the test regardless of s their scholastic standing. e Renfrow said he is concerned v, tabout reports that students are not d applying to local draft boards for t, the examination cards as rapidly as they should.d He added that he is convinced n that many students are planning t not to take the test because they b are afraid of getting a poor score. t Rienfrow said it is "vitally im portant for everyone eligible for 2 the test to take it." Later he put v~ it more strongly and said each e eligible student "must take the test s and have it in his files." c Heretofore, the selective service S attitude has been that a student b may take the aptitude test or may J depend entirely on his scholastic standing. Selective service has said that a draft boards may base deferments I of collegre students next fanl eithe.
