to report for induction into the

meets all requirements for de-

pealing the decision of his draft
board in Baltimore on the
grounds that he is in the upper
two-thirdS of his class and "is
making normal progress toward
graduation"
A statement to that effect has
been sent to the draft board by
the university registrar.
Cannot Appeal Order
But the Associated Press re-
ported last night from Baltimore
that Col. Henry C. Stanwood,

scholastic standing after COM
