(University, Govern merit Advise
Students to Enlist in Reserves
And 'Stick by' College Studies
Enlist in the Army, Navy, or
Marines and at the same time go
to college, is the advice of the
U. S. government as well as the
administration of the university.
The army and navy now believe
that the leadership which the na
tion and its armed forces must
have will be found in college
trained men. "It is the patriotic
duty of every student now in
school to stay by his or her studies
in the belief that they will be
worth far more to the govern
ment later," stated G. W. Rosen
lof, director of admissions.
The Navy has already put into
effect a plan by which freshman
may enlist in the U. S. Navy Re
serve and attend college for two
years at least. One-fifty of these
men are selected to continue for
two more years as candidates ofr
commissions as dick or engineer
ing officers. They may seek com
missions as aviation officers in
aviation cadet training schools.
The Army and Marines are also
introducing plans under which col
lege men can enlist and remain
in school until the conclusion of
their four years. They then be
come candidates for commissioned
officers.
