Trainees Start Third
Term Here, in Omaha
Over 500 AST trainees will start the next term at Ne
braska on April 10, it was reported by authoritative sources
yesterday. Confirmation as to the exact quotas in the several
phases of the Army Specialized Training Program which will
definitely continue on campus is expected today from Sev
enth Service Command Headquarters in Omaha.
The unofficial report that advanced engineers, dents, pre
professional dental and medical students, AST Reservists, as
well as the medical students at Omaha, will begin their next
12 week cycle cleared up the prevalent doubt on campus that
Nebraska's entire ASTP contingentmight suddenly be trans
ferred. According to the latest information available, these
assurances of at least the partial
continuation of Nebraska's ASTP
in no way affect the status of the
approximately 600 basic engineers.
There have been no plans made for
retaining these men after the com
pletion of the present term, and
they are expected to leave the
campus at any time. The question
of the fate of the area and lan
guage group is still undecided, but
the university has as yet received
no word that they should not go
ahead with plans for a third term
for the A and Ls.
Excluding the 290 members of
the air corps training detachment,
which will go on reducing its num
bers thru graduation as previously
announced, approximately 640
trainee-students will go on with
their education at Nebraska next
month. Eighty-five advanced en
gineers are expected to continue
their studies, along with 69 dents,
and 209 medics who are enrolled
in the School of Medicine in Oma
ha. Also in uniform on campus
will be approximately 75 ASTRPs,
and perhaps more although no
further expansion of UN's reserv
ist program has been announced.
The pre-professional medical and
dental course will be represented
by about 100 trainees.

STAR Unit
At Ag Closes
On Monday
Uni May Use
Army Quarters
Last contingent of STARs will
leave ag by Monday, when the
specialized training and replace
ment unit will officially close
down, according to an announce
ment made by Chancellor C. S.
Boucher yesterday. Col. James P.
Murphy, UN military comman
dant, confirmed the fact that the
UN unit will shut down Monday
with the transfer of the final
remnants of STARs.
The STARs moved into the
newly constructed foods and nu
tritions building on ag campus
last spring, and have assigned
men all over the country since
that time. During the past sev
eral months the number of men
stationed at the unit has been
gradually decreased in prospect
of the eventual shut-down.
Unless the army wishes to make
further use of the building in the
near future, Boucher said, it will
be returned to the home economics
department. Soldiers have occu
pied the building since its com
pletion and consequently it has
never been used by the students.
