...confusion in Washington is equalled only by the maze of conflicting and overlapping programs on the college plane. Though deferment through enlistment in one of the Reserve Corps was set up originally to allow men to complete their education as quickly as possible, Army-Navy competition for manpower has led them to dangle four and even five year deferment before a student who is needed as soon as he can complete his training...
...track is not the track of the Olympic Games but a specialty called military track. Its main event, the 60-yd. obstacle run, is the most grueling thing in the preflight program.
