"Tomorrow on the campus of USCa so-called 'Moratorium' has been planned in opposition to the. American lorm ot government. Featured speakers at this event include students from Kent State University in Ohio now under In dictment for conspiracy to riot. As students we remember well the events at Kent State last Spring Semester which were used as Students may drop deferments Selective Service registrants who wish to drop deferments in favor of I-A classifications may do so at any time, according to the director of S.C. state selective service. Colonel Donald H. Collins said state boards have been instructed to promptly consider written requests for reclassification. Reclassification should be granted even if a registrant classed I-S, II A. Il-C. II-S. or III-A still meets deferment conditions. A memorandum from Collins' office stated that, if someone has a draft number higher than 195, he "may find it to his advantage to voluntarily give up his deferment in exchange for Class I-A, thereby allowing him to progress to a lower draft priority." Although most local boards have decided on their highest draft number, some may not know what their number will be until orders are issued for December in ductions, Collins advised. Registrants are advised to check with their local boards to deter mine whether or not their number will be called before the end of the year.
