(Editors Note; This is the
sixth in a series on 10 articles
on the draft laws and how
they affect persons of draft
age.)
When the draft law first started
in 1948, any man w'ho was married
or got married before he was
ordered into the Army, was defer
red.
1 Remodels
Record Room*
Adds
The record playing room of
(he Memorial Student Center
is being remodeled into three
eeparate record playing
rooms.
This change was made possible
through the donation of a new' re
cord , player by the H. W. Hull
family of Midland, in memory of
their son, Lt. Robert W. Hull, ’46,
Avho was killed during World War
II.
The high fidelity installation
cost approximately $600.
The rooms are equipped with a
hew type of louvre to allow venti
lation to enter, but keeping the
Bound from escaping. If this louvre
proves satisfactoi-y, it may be in
stalled throughout the MSC.
Two of the rooms will be put
into use as soon as the remodeling
is finished; the third room will be
left vacant.
Bob King, chairman of the music
committee, said the third room will
not be available until the committee
finds some means of obtaining a
third record player.
Later, President Truman issued
ap executive order which took the
deferment away from the man who
had only a wife. If he had children,
he 'was still deferred,
Then, in 1963, President Eisen-
hcwer isued another executive
order which took the deferment
away from a man who had both a
'wife and child or children on ol
after Aug. 25, 1953. The man W'ho
had a child or children prior to that
date, and advised the board prior to
that date, was still deferred under
the terms of the Eisenhow r er order.
There is an exception to the
order issued by President Eisen
hower. If there is extreme hard
ship and privation to dependents, a
man can still be deferred on that
basis. The local board decides
'whether there is extreme hardship
or not.
One basis on which a board could
grant a deferment based on hard
ship would be for a wife to be
physically incapacitated, requiring
the personal care of the husband.
The local board would decide if
that were the case or not.
In consideration of a dependency
claim, payment - of allowances by
the government to dependents of
persons serving in the armed forces
is taken into , account by a local
board, but factors other than fin
ancial are also considered.
The term “child” as used in
draft regulations includes a child,
legKmate or illegitimate from date
of conception, legally adopted child,
a stepchild, a foster child, and a
person who is supported in good
faith by a draft registrant in a
relationship similar to that of
parent and child.

secretary of the association.
The conference, sponsored jointly
by the Texas Press association and
the A&M Journalism department,

made several studies in the news

Newsom, conference director and

For conferees who desire more
traditional methods of saving time
and effort, in the shop, Craig will

men to speed up production and
save time.
