Cancer research at the Medical School got a $100,000 boost from the American Cancer Society, the society announced yesterday. It did not disclose whether or not there would be restrictions on the expenditure of the money.
While, of course, there is no immediate solution that will completely satisfy both the student and the institution, at least two steps could be taken to case the problem.
Representative Melvin Price (D-Ill.) told the CRIMSON yesterday that "it is very difficult to get Congress to pass a draft act during peacetime. It was very difficult to get the present law passed two years ago, and it will be impossible now that there is no need for it...
The current law expires on June 24, two days after the College's graduation exercises. According to the act, students could legally be conscripted during those two days, but Price predicts that "there will be no more drafting unless the international situation gets very bad."
Vinson said over the weekend that the Administration would doubtless ask for an extension on the ground that the law served as a spur to voluntary enlistment. "But they haven't got a chance in the world of getting it," he said. "There is no justification for it."
