Question: Can the boy who doesn’t go to college but is learning a trade be deferred in II-S the same as a university student? Answer: No, however, he may be eligible for a II-A ap prentice deferment if he meets the criteria prescribed by Se lective Service. It is suggested he confer with his local board as to whether he meets these qualifications. Question: My son will soon be discharged from the navy. He went in at 17 and has never registered with Selective Ser vice. Does he have to do so when he gets out? Answer: Yes. He must go to a local board of the Selective Service System and register within 10 days following the date he was separated from active duty.

If I am drafted before I can take my bar examina tion I wil probably have to go back to school for another year after I am discharged to review everything. Is there any chance of delaying induction until I take the examination? Answer: Yes. If you are or dered to report for induction after your graduation and be fore the date of the next bar examination is to be held, and if you have notified your local board that you will take the examination and wish to have your induction postponed, the board will postpone your in duction until the day following the last day of the bar exami nation. Negro speaks out against militants (From The Chicago Tribune) Charles V. Hamilton, a Ne gro professor at Roosevelt un iversity, yesterday criticized white university administrators who “blindly give in to the de mands of black students just to keep them quiet.” Hamilton said he agrees with most black student de mands. He said be believes that most of them are legiti mate. “I am not hitting at the black students,” said Hamilton, a leading exponent of black power. “I am hitting at whites who say ‘let’s just give them what they want. ’These admin istrators are not doing any good for themselves, the blacks or society. “It is easy to say he (a Negro) has been oppressed for so long—like patting a child on the head just to keep him quiet.” He said these administra tors are creating a “new kind of paternalism” and warned that they are creating “ a new role—the black man’s honky. We had the white man’s nigger for years.” The .demands of black stu dents, Hamilton said, should bring about “an intellectual re-examination of the whole curriculum” of a university. The demands are “improving education for all—both black and white,” he said. “You can’t raise the curric ulum for blacks without look ing at the whole picture.” Administrators, he said “must know why the demands are made. If they accept demands blindly without giving thought or examination, the whole pur pose is lost. I’m not asking an administrator to give in to de mands unless he studies them.” Hamilton is the chairman of Roosevelt’s political science de partment. He co-authored the book “Black Power,” with Stokely Carmichael, the black militant. “I want white people to pro tect their integrity,” Hamil ton said. “In these times when black people are clearly mak ing demands to recognize their integrity, nothing is gained by having white Americans lose their integrity. “ I, as a bla'ck man, will have gained nothing if, in the process of asserting or dis covering my identity, I have to subordinate or squelch ano ther’s identity.” Hamilton said he is complet ing a book on the black stud ent movement which will “am aze people.” In researching the book, he has visited 79 col leges and universities and said he has found that “most white professors do not know why students are making demands.” He said that many of these professors are “willing to suc cumb to anything without un derstanding it.” Many university administra tors in Chicago are “insincere” in their dealings with black student demands, Hamilton said. He declined to name them but he did praise the adminis tration of Northwestern uni versity for “understanding” the problems faced by black students. When asked if some of the demands made by black stu dents on various campuses were outlandish, Hamilton re plied: “Every social movement has its excesses. Each university has to determine excesses on the basis of negotiation. Each should not accept demands blindly.” WITH MEN IN The SERVICES U. S. ARMY, KOREA-Army Private First Class Hugh S.
