...Dean Bender yesterday criticized sharply the new proposals of the Selective Service deferment committee which would keep top college students out of the draft. "Why rule the best brains out of the Army and Navy?" Bender said. "It doesn't seem to me to be a very sensible thing...
Washington and the U.S. embassy in Caracas quickly set the matter straight. Colonel Adams had visited both the Ministry of National Defense and Miraflores Palace on the day of the coup, but his sole purpose was to get information about Lieut. Colonel Frank P.

For no matter what any poll will ultimately prove, the University can now sit tight for two months and let the present annoyance over food die down to an occasional whimper. Given this respite, the University may conceivably survive the rumbling storm of student protest this year, unless something extraordinary pops up again...
