There were formerly two

Selective Service Classifications Listed
By LARRY UPSHAW
“We want you—if you are good
enough,” says the modem day Uncle Sam.
Since Uncle Sam will find an estimated
1,780 men in Texas good enough during
October, the quota for Grimes and Brazos
Counties will take a sudden jump.
Previous state quotas have been around
700 to 900.
“We have called 70 men for pre
induction physicals during September,”
said Mrs. Ruth Rideout, clerk of the two-
county draft board, “and nine are being
inducted.’
“In October approximately 45 will take
the physical and 17 will be inducted.
Therefore the induction quota will more
than double,’ Mrs. Rideout explained.
Just who has to worry about being
drafted? The following classifications
will try to explain who, why and when.
If all men normally available for mili
tary service, those classified I-A are
inducted, then the men of other classifi
cations are considered. The other classi
fications are:
Class I-A-O, conscientious objector,
available for noncombat service only.
Class I-C, members of the armed forces,
the Coast and Geodetic Survey or the
Public Health Service.
Class I-D, qualified member of a re
serve component or student taking ROTC.
Class I-O, a conscientious objector
available for civilian work maintaining
the national health, safety or interest.
Class I-S, student deferred until
graduation from high school or until the
end of his academic year at college.
Class I-W, a conscientious objector now
performing civilian work maintaining the
national health, safety or interest.
Class I-Y, a man qualified for military
service only in time of war or national
emergency. Many IV-F’s were reclassified
into this group.
Class II-A, occupational deferment.
Men working on government projects.
Class H-C, agricultural deferment for
those who have to operate a farm.
Class II-S, student deferment issued
on a very temporary basis and subject
to a review each year.
Class III-A, an extreme hardship de
ferment or man with a child or children.
Class IV-A, man with sufficient prior
military service.
Class IV-B, an official deferred by law.
Class IV-C, an alient not currently li
able for service.
Class IV-F, man not qualified for
service because of moral, physical or
mental reasons.
Class V-A, man over the draftable age.
Because I-A’s are being drafted pretty
fast, married men without children may
be drafted soon, Mrs. Rideout said.
At this time students taking less than
12 hours of college work are being drafted.
Mrs. Rideout said that all changes of
address must be reported to the draft
board.
“If we can’t get in touch with a boy
by any means, we notify the Federal
Bureau of Investigation—and they always
get their man,” Mrs. Rideout concluded.

“Texas Aggies,” a decal which
is displayed with maroon and
white trim, seems to attract most
Texas A&M car owners.
A recent Battalion survey
showed several different window
stickers attached to cars through
out campus parking lots.
Of the different stickers, about
50 per cent had the “Texas Ag
gies” decal.
“It’s neat; it's big and will
show up better,” quipped one
freshman when asked why he
purchased the “Texas Aggies”
sticker.
In between the words “Texas”
and “Aggies” on his car, the
freshman has the symbol of
A&M’s ROTC program with the
seal of the university.

WASHINGTON <A>) _ Repub
licans have been told by one
of themselves that they need
new ideas.
Gov. John H. Reed of Maine
told a group of Republicans here
“we have been suffering for a
number of years with idea gaps
to cope with the problems of the
modern world.”
House Republicans, less than
productive with new ideas, are
hoping task forces they created
will come up with some to be
used in the 1966 congressional
campaigns.
But one of them, asked what
the party stands for now, said
“family unity.” Another said
“fiscal responsibility.” This
sounded like an echo of former
President Dwight D. Eisen
hower.
He recently said Republicans
should take their stand on fiscal
responsibility, frugality and inte
grity.
Meanwhile, the Democrats, un-
next most popular decal is the
one with “Texas A&M Univer
sity” on it. This sticker was on
17 per cent of the cars.
“It’s small and stays out of the
way. Those big ones seem to
bother the driver’s rear view,”
said one Aggie admirer.
The big maroon and white “T”
ran a close third to the “Texas
A&M University” decal. This
sticker attracted about 15.5 per
cent of the Aggie automobile
owners.
The stickers for basketball and
baseball championships in 1964
ran a distant fourth and fifth,
respectively.
Approximately one per cent of
the cars surveyed had the college

In the 1964 elections the Re
publicans wound up in the Sen
ate with only 32 seats to the
Democrats 68 and in the House
with only 140 to the Democrats’
295.
While the Senate Republicans,
under the leadership of Sen.
Everett M. Dikrsen, have been
rather quiet on Johnson, House
Republicans under the leader
ship of Gerald R. Ford Jr. of
Michigan and Melvin R. Laird
of Wisconsin have been his con
stant critics.
They’re still searching for
issues to use to try to make the
Republican party more attrac

Plans have been announced for
an all-Aggie dance and early
morning breakfast in Fort
Worth’s spacious Will Rogers
Coliseum following the TCU foot
ball game Oct. 16.
The dance will last from 11
p.m. until 2 a.m., at which time
a catered breakfast will be
served. Free setups will be pro
vided and a Fort Worth band
will supply the music.
Price of the event is $3.50 per
couple at the door. A&M ID
cards are sufficient for identi
fication.
Rogers Coliseum, located! at
3301 W. Lancaster Ave., can ac
commodate a maximum of 1,250
couples. In a preliminary sur
vey of the Corps of Cadets last
week, over 800 indicated that
they would attend the dance.
A survey of a cross-section of
civilian students is currently be
ing conducted.
Friends of A&M in Fort
Worth are sponsoring the dance,
which tops off an activity-packed
weekend.
The first Corps trip of the
year begins Oct. 15 and the stu
dents at Texas Woman’s Uni
versity have planned a mixer on
the Denton campus in anticipa
tion of it.
Termed “Maroon and White A-
Go-Go,” the dance will be held
in the ballroom of the Student
Union Building on the TWU
campus. Dress for the Aggies
will be sports shirts and slacks.
The event begins at 7:30 p.m.
and lasts until 11:30.
Following the dance a yell
practice will be held in the ball
room.

House Republicans revealed
their thinking this year on some
of the major pieces of legislation
which were passed by the House
where Democrats, out-numbering
Republicans more than two to
one, could shove bills through.
This is how House Republicans
voted on some of that major
legislation:
On the medical care bill for

On the $1.3 billion school aid

Heat Overcomes
2 Fish Gridders,
Both Hospitalized
Two Fish gridders were ad
mitted to St. Joseph’s Hospital
in Bryan Tuesday evening with
what a team physician called
heat prostration.
Ralph Frank Krueger, 19, of
Bryan and Carl Gough, 19, of
College Station suffered the at
tacks during workouts in 87-de
gree heat with high humidity.
Krueger is the brother of for
mer A&M All-American Charley
Krueger.
“They are responding satisfac
torily to treatment and are in no
serious danger,” the team physi
cian said.
Aggie Head Coach Gene Stall
ings said Gough had been report
ed feeling sick for the last two
days. He added that this was not
a major incident, and “it just
happened the two boys got sick
on the same day.”
Stallings added that the inci

against. On the civil rights mea
sure of 1965 — the voting rights
bill — the House Republicans
were more affirmative, voting 111
for, only 20 against.
At this point in their history
Republicans would probably be
hard put to say — if anyone of
them tried to speak for all —
what their philosophy is since
they are beset with splinter
groups.
Ray C. Bliss, the GOP nation
al chairman, earlier this year
expressed grave worry about the
effect of these splinters on the
party. Later he invited them to
come in under the Republican
tent.
“Once they are formed,” he
said, “I am going to try to find
a way to work with them.”
There are perhaps 15 different
groups which might fit — or
want to fit — under the Republi
can tent although, as one news
paper said, Republicans have
splinters to the right of them
and splinters to the left of them.
