I think the standards have been raised considerably since the
70's. I had to basically bother them for weeks at the local office (a
central bureau in Albany, NY) until they gave me one. My advantage
was that at the time I told them that I was a full-time union member,
which at the time I was. I said nothing about being a student.
Before that, they had refused me because of income (more casual, less
reliable) , and lack of credit history. Now I'm in better shape, but
I did spend a lot of days up in that office bothering people.
