Current data on Armed Services enlistment policies has been released by the Office of Student Placement. All students, regardless of whether they have had physicals for the draft, are now free to enlist and in most cases will be deferred until June. Undergraduates are urged, however, not to enlist in any program which does not insure deferment until graduation, since the draft law now pending may contain provision for deferment of all students. Seniors who wish to enlist now are advised to check whether or not the program of their choice provides for a postponement of induction until June.
