But it is rather difficult to imagine that all college students would fit into this category of vital service to their country.

At a time when there is a great need to bridge the gulf between college and non-college people of college graduates are to assume places of leadership in their communities, such a policy of indiscriminate deferment to all college students would widen this gulf in causing rightful indignation by all those not favorably affected by such an unwarranted deferment policy.
