Dean Elder has long been opposed to draft exemptions for students in so-called "critical" disciplines, and said yesterday that occupational deferments for teaching fellows would have a similar effect. Most of the teaching fellows in need of the II-A deferments will be first or second-year graduate students, since third and fourth year students will keep their II-S deferments. As only in the natural sciences do first-year students generally teach, and thus even possibly qualify for the II-A, "I would be virtually arguing that some disciplines should be recognized as sanctuaries," Elder said.

...high rate of suicide among college students has long been recognized as one of the more ominous statistics of higher education. Last week Harvard Psychiatrist Mathew Ross reported that the college-age group runs a 50% higher suicidal risk than nonstudents in a similar age group, and he scolded the American College of Physicians at its meeting in Boston for not doing more to prevent such deaths. Individuals contemplating suicide normally signal their intention, he said, and doctors must be alert to the message. The most common clues...
...question again this week in Brussels. Hard-pressed Britain has announced that it is willing to grant full Kennedy Round cuts by next Jan. 1 instead of holding to the original five-year timetable. Canada, Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Switzerland have notified Washington that they are amenable to similar steps.

The credibility of the special effects established, we can suspend disbelief, to use a justifiable cliche, and revel in the beauty and imagination of Kubrick/Clarke's space. And turn to the challenging substance of the excellent screenplay...
...three hours a day, five days a week, Peters has been throwing, working hard on his pitching rhythm. "I just can't get anything over. I've got to get the rhythm," he said. The 6-5, 210-pound righthander suffered a similar slump in the middle of last season when he lost to Princeton, Columbia, and Dartmouth, and he thinks he'll pull out of this one. "It's not an insurmountable problem," he said. Coach Norm Shepard agreed yesterday, "I don't see why he shouldn't pull...
