Selective Service exam

Physics professors should remind their students to take the upcoming selective‐service qualification test. Scores on this test will be used in conjunction with class standings to determine possible student deferments. Beginning 1 April students can obtain application blanks from their local draft boards and should send them, before 23 April, to Science Research Associates, the test administrator. SRA will then direct each student to one of 1200 centers across the country where the exam will be given on 14 and 21 May and 3 June. According to Mrs. Betty Vetter of the Scientific Manpower Commission, physics students should have absolutely no difficulty with the 150 ‘puppy is to dog, kitten is to what’‐level problems. Questions on the draft can be sent to the Scientific Manpower Commission, 2101 Constitution Ave. Washington, D.C. 20418.
