was supposed to run the con cert on a break-even point we were running the concert not to make a profit the finance and calendar commtttee and ar cadia could have made us refund the excess profit we are in a way making it up to the university the excess profit from the concert was the result of the god frey cambridge cancellation lori burton who substituted for cambridge cost 1,500 less draft will hit grad schools a national survey has shown that present draft rules will slash by 70 per cent the number of men entering graduate schools next year by so per cent the over-all total of persons entering graduate schools and will strike hardest in the fields of physics and engineering the survey conducted in 122 graduate schools by the scientific manpower com mission and the council of graduate schools of the united states predicted that the first-year enrollment in physics would decline 64 per cent from last year's totals and engineering enrollment would drop 82 per cent the 1 22 graduate schools included in the survey have an enrollment of 57,000 full time male students — a total which is 40 per cent of the current 144,000 first-year male students throughout the nation the commission which conducted the survey •« * prfy gregp sponsored by a good number of the nation's scientific and professional societies in addition many of the graduate schools across the country belong to the co-sponsoring council the main thrust of the report was that the large predicted declines will come about because many students who had planned to enter graduate school will tend to believe that such a move is futile this is because the newly instituted draft rules have eliminated student defer ments for first and second-year graduate students except in the fields of medicine dentistry veterinary medicine oaten pathy and divinity it is also because of the order in which men will be drafted according to the current order of drafting the oldest nen in the age group from 19 to t year of age will be called first thus almost ail men in the prime graduate school aft bracket — 22 to 25 j'msu-m of k •• can expect to be called to active duty first both of these moves but especially the removal of graduate school determents nave been sharply criticised by educators see draft page s notice this is the final issue of the brown and white until after spring vaca tion the
