By HOMER SWANDER
(This is the third of a series on the
Selective Service Act, written in col-
laboration with Prof. Louis Hopkins,
Chairman of the University Commit-
tee on National Defense.)
Members of the Reserve Officers'
Corps who are key members of the
University faculty may, as a result
of a recent order of the War Depart-
ment, be deferred from active service
at the request of President Alexander
Ruthven.
The order comes from the realiza-
tion that an educator may do a
greater service to the nation in his
civilian status.
"The present conception of modern
warfare," the War Department states,
"recognizes the contribution to na-
tional defense that is made by the
established educational institutions
engaged in the training of technical
personnel necessary in the produc-
tion of national defense items ofj
equipment and supply."'
Must Be 'Key' Man
To be transferred to the Reserve
Officers' Pool, however, it must be
clearly shown by the president of the
institution that the educator in ques-
tion is "a key member of the faculty
actually engaged in the instruction
primarily of junior and senior stu-
dents; that these students when
graduated are necessary in the pro-
duction of national defense items of
equipment and supply; and that the
officer cannot be satisfactorily re-
placed."
Of course, the War Departmient at
all times reserves the right to ap-
prove or disapprove a request and
to reverse a favorable decision when-
ever the service of the individual is
required in the armed forces of the
country.
Transfer Request Needed
A separate transfer request, in tri-
plicate, must be addressed to the
Assistant Secretary of War for eachl
faculty member. Such information
as the following is required in each
case: rank and military organiza-
Iion; marital status and number of
'dependents; present position and
length of time therein; subjects and
classes taught; justification of classi-
fication as a key employe; and how
the training of the student person-
nel taught is related to national de-
fense.
The age of the applicant will also
be an important factor. The Reserve
Corps has been divided into four age
groups in the order of their value to
the military service.
The first group, 21 to 25, are young
officers who are more familiar with
the latest military tactics and at the
same time, are probably the least
valuable to educational institutions.
The majority of the second group,
26 to 32, are also considered more
necessary to the armed forces than to
the teaching profession.
Men In Third Group
Most of the key men in the uni-
versities and colleges are in the third
and fourth age groups-33 to 44 and
45 and over respectively. These last
classifications are generally consid-
ered more valuable to education than
to mili ary service. However, even
here it hxust be shown that they are
key faculty members.
No blanket classifications are being
contemplated by the War Depart-
ment. Also, the procedure applies only
to the Reserve Officers' in the United
States Army. It does not include
enlisted reservists, National Guard
personnel, or Naval or Marine Corps
commissioned or enlisted reserve per-
sonnel.
E. D. Round, Flyer,
To Talk On Aviation
At Institute Meeting
Edson Donald L. Round, a graduate
of the University and of Pensacola,
will give a talk on his recent flying
and training experiences at 7:30 p.m.
Tuesday before a meeting of the stu-
dent branch of the Institute of Aero-
nautical Sciences in room 1042 East
Engineering Building, Le'slie J. Trigg,
'41E, president, announced yesterday.
Other business that will be trans-
acted is an election of officers for
next year, and the appointment of
committees for the Institute banquet
May 27 at which Robert Woods, de-
signer of the "Aircobra," will be the
feature speaker.
Kiwanis Club members will turn
newsboys tomorrow and take over thq
city street corners to sell the annual
edition of the Ann Arbor News to
raise funds for aiding crippled child-
ren.
James McCarthy, chairman of the
sale, has set a goal of $1,000 for mem-
bers to shoot.at. Money raised will be
used to aid unfortunate and needy
children in the University Hospital.
Ann Arbor schools will hold their
own at May Festival Monday in Hill
Auditorium when orchestras, bands,
chorus' and glee clubs will participate
in a huge songfest.
Featured soloist of the evening's
program will be Thelma Lewis, vocal
professor in the University School of
Music.
When his hat blew into the back
seat of his car, Theodore E. Pratt,17,
route 1, reached for it. The car struck
a tree and Pratt is in the hospital
suffering from bruises and shock.
His condition is reported as good.
