Advanced Drill Officers
May Get Ordnance Unit
An Ordnance Unit, for advanced drill of
ficers only, may be established at the univer
sity next fall, according to information re
ceived from the military department yester
day. If accepted, this would permit cadets I.)
be exempt from selective service and would
lead to an appointment as second lieutenant of
ordnance-reserve. Cadets for the unit would
come from regularly enrolled male students
who are now in the sophomore class and who
have or will have completed the regular basic
course in any one of the three units here by
the end of the present school year. The same
eligibility ules for entry as an advanced corps
cadet in any of the three units apply also for
entry into the ordnance unit. In addition, it
will be necessary for each ordnance cadet to
carry a certain number of subjects or regular
college curriculum closely pertaining to ord
nance training.
In order to determine whether there is
sufficient interest on the part of regularly en
rolled sophomores, a convocation of all male
sophomores has been arranged for Tuesday,
March 17, from 5 to 5 -AO p. m., in the ballroom
of the Student Union.
