DENTAL STUDENTS AND MILITARY SERVICE
(Special) WELLINGTON, May 20. The position of dental students in relation to military service was outlined to the Otago University Council today in a letter from the Minister of National Service, the Hon. R. Semple. The Minister stated that the question had been fully discussed by the National Medical Committee and the War Cabinet and a recommendation had been made to the Armed Forces Appeal Boards to postpone service for dental students who had reached the stage of professional studies at which they would normally qualify within two years. This decision did not limit the authority of Appeal Boards, however, and students could lodge appeals to bring personal circumstances before the boards.
