It is up to you to choose what you prefer," Dr. Tibor Bebek told an audience of univer sity students and faculty last Fri day at the monthly assembly pro gram in the Field house. Dr. Bebek, who is a noted Hun garian author and authority on communism, spoke of his personal experiences as a survivor of the Nazi siege of Budapest. The liberation, contrary to the hopes of the people, was a horror painted picture of looied homes, suicide and unsanitary conditiins. Dr. Bebek stated that he went for weeks with no food and that only his white hair and feeble condition saved him. Travel was made difficult by the red tape involved in obtaining a pErm-aiit to leave a locality. Even then, travel was limited to a radius of sixty miles unless the person was useful to the Communists. Dr. Bebek explained the signifi eInes of the Communist flag, tell ing how the hammer smashes everything and any remains are mown down by the sickle. These two emblems represent the intimi dation and fear by which the Com munists hold the people. The un reasonable demands made by the Russian troops and the shortage of stamps and other means of com munication are also examples of the complete dominance of the Reds. "But Stalin made two mistakes," said Dr. Bebek. "First to show Asia to Europe and second to show Europe to Asia." Week Set secretarial science department. E. F.

Hershey, Direc tor of Selective Service, announced recently. General Hershey remarked that when the Selective Service college deferment plan was ~ first an nounced last Spring objection was heard that the plan gave preferred treatment to the comparatively small number of "bright boys" who could afford to go to college. He said he believed that virtually all of the opposition on this ground has been dissipated, since there is now a general understanding of the fact that the pirpose of th plan is to select those most fitted to pursue college educationz and tbat a large proportion of college students are "working their way through college," either partly or wholly. He cited a recent survey made by the United States Office of Education which showed that fewer than 25 per cent of college students are solely dependent upon their parents. "We are faced with an emer gency that many experts predict will last perhaps 10 to 20 years," General Hershey said. "We must, therefore, think in long-range terms, in developing plans to pro vide an adequate supply of highly skilled manpower. I believe the country is aware that it is logical, in deferring students in the na tional interest, to defer those with demonstrated ability, instead of gambling on those with lower ca pacity." General Hershey explained that the intent of Congress was that these students should be deferred only until they have completed their college training. "Defer ment" means that a registrant shall have his service delayed or post poned until he completes his edu cation. It is by no means an out right exemption. The 1951 Amendments to the Universal Military Training and Service Act provide that any regis trant who was in a deferred classi fication on June 19, 1951, or who was thereafter placed in a deferred classification shall remain liable for training and service until he reaches the age of 35. Therefore, any registrant deferred now as a student will be required, if physically fit, to serve two years in the armed forces sometime be fore he becomes 35.

Clemson has chal d! ad the Clemson campus the ;on game, the cadets turned re hundred and fifty pints of ilood. They broke a record and es ablished a new one. The record hey broke had been their own. Such a feat did not go unnoticed iy the Red Cross administration. In letter to the "Clemson Tiger," 4anly E. Wright, Chairman of the iuncombe County Chapter of the kmerican Red Cross, wrote: ". n donating over five hundred and 'ifty pints of human blood, Clem on people have again shown their 'ellow men the heritage of un elfishness, the courage of their ,onvictions of the American way of ife and the true spirit of their own Kreatness. . . . Floyd Spence, president of the student body, was the first to take the Clemson record as a challenge and he enlisted the support of all Carolina students when he said: "We best Clemson on the football field. We can beat them in still an other way. They gave over five hundred pints of bloqd to set a new record. Let's break that record and win another victory."
