SAbout V-7, V-5
Commissions Of Ensign
Await Students Who
Go Through Training
No Enlistments Here
By JAMES CONANT
These are busy days at the NROTC
headquarters in North Hall with offi-
cers and chiefs at the unit's head-
quarters busy telling half a hundred
students each day the whats, whys
and wherefores of the Navy's V-7 and
V-5 programs.,
V-7, formerly open only to men
with, a college degree, is now avail-
able for both juniors and seniors
now in college. Seniors now in col-
lege-the Navy needs 7000 of them-
will not be called to active duty be-
fore their graduation in June. The
7000 juniors the Navy will take may
complete their college course before
they are called to active duty, serv-
ing only for the summer vacation of
1942.
V-5, a new feature of the Navy's
program to train college men for
commissions in the Naval Reserve,
provides for the training of 15,000
naval aviators. Students in their se-
nior, junior or sophomore year in
cllege are eligible; they will be called
to active duty and training at the
end of the current college year.
Can Get Commissions
Graduates of both the V-7 and the
V5 programs will be commissioned
as Ensigns in the Naval Reserve. E-
signs in the Reserve receive a salary
of $125 a month and allowances;
those who have completed the V-5
training program, however, and thus
have won their Navy "Wings of
Gold," will get $205 a month plus al-
lowances.
For the V-7 program, an applicant
must be unmarried, a native born
citizen, and from 19 to 27 years of
age, inclusive. After he has received
his University degree, the student
who khas enlisted in V-7 will receive
a 30-day preliminary training course.
Ifhe gets' by that barrier, he will be
trained further as Midshipman,
U.S.N.R., at a salary of $65 a month
plus allowances. If he completes this
training successfully he will be com-
missioned as Ensign.
A candidate must be from 20 to 26
years old, unmarried, and a citizen of
the United States .for at least ten
years, to apply for the V-5 program.
Upon completion of his current aca-
demic year, or, in the case of a college
graduate, when there's room for him,
the candidate will get three months
preliminary training as seaman, sec-
ond class. If qulified, he then goes
into training as an Aviation Cadet for
seven additional months. While he
is a cadet, he draws $75 a month. If
he comes through that course suc-
cessfully, he is commissioned as a
naval aviator.
Standards Still High
The Navy has not relaxed its stan-
dards because of the war. The rigid
physical requirements of pre-War
days are still there. To enter the
V-5 program, for instance, you must
have 20-20 eyesight, while a candi-
date for V-7 must boast near-perfect
vision.
While t~e officers and petty offi-
cers at the NROTC headquarters on
campus are glad to give all available
information to those interested in
-V-7 and V-5, enlistments are not
made at North Hall. To enlist, a man
must apply at the Grosse Ile aviation
station for V-5, and at the Naval
Reserve Armdry, 7600 East Jefferson,
Detroit, for V-7.
The V-5 and V-7 programs are de-
signed to train capable aviators and
deck and engineering officers to man
our fast-expanding air force and
fleet. They will fill a vital need of
our armed forces quickly.

Conservation of Rubber Items:
The Purchasing Department is no
longer able to buy rubber bands and
rubber erasers except on a preference
rating much higher than the rating
assigned to the institution for oper-
ating supplies. The stock of these
materials must be issued sparingly.
Much of our present supply will be
badly needed in the operation of the
Hospital. Under present conditions
it is assumed that every one will co-
operate to the end of avoiding waste
and making the present stock last
as long as possible. Re-use rubber
bands or use substitutes wherever
possible.

A letter has been received from the
Teachers Insurance and Annuity
Association summarizing certain
modifications which have been adop-i
ted with respect to the retirement
annuity contracts and life insurance;
policies.
1. When the holder of a premium-
paying retirement annuity contract
enters a military, naval, or air force1
of the United States, Canada, or New-:
foundland, he may cease premium
payments on the contract with the;
assurance that he may restore the
contract by simply resuming premi-
um payments (without payment of
the "omitted" premiums) if he does
so at the close of such service or
within six months thereafter. At that
time he will be expected to sign an
appropriate agreement as to reduc-
tion of the contractual benefits cor-
responding to the omitted premiums,
and the premium resumed will be
on the same actuarial basis as it
would have been if premiums had
been paid continuously.
2. All new life insurance policies
applied for after December 9, 1941,
will contain a provision excluding the
risk of death resulting either (a)
from service outside the continental
limits of the United States, Canada,
and Newfoundland in a military,
naval, or air force of a country at
war, or (b) from operating or riding
in any kind of aircraft, except as a
fare-paying passenger on scheduled
airline flights. In event of death
under such excluded circumstances,
the reserve under the policy, less any
indebtedness, will be payable to the
beneficiary. This procedure applies
to all kinds of newly-written life in-
surance policies, including collective
insurance, bait of course hot to life
insurance policies previously written
witiout any such clause or to any
annuity contract. Among some
groups of applicants particularly
likely to enter the forces, the total
amount of insurance the Association
will write on an individual is re-
duced.
