I didn't realize education had an impact on whether or not you were drafted. Always figured it was a lottery-type scenario.

During the '60s you could avoid the draft by being in college (one of several injustices in the draft system of the time). In 1968 the exemption for grad school was dropped, and this was a major reason for the increase in anti-war protests that year.
