THE MICHIGAN DAILY SUDY, NUARY t, 19 Many Students Query NROTC 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. DfIILY OFFICLF4L BULLETIN SUNDAY, JANUARY 11, 1942 VOL. LII.

Smith 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. Shirley W. Smith All Women students are reminded that they must register any change of residence for the second semester in the Office of the Dean of Women by noon of January 19.

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. Herbert G. Watkins, Assistant Secretary An official University of Michigan Survey will be distributed through various channels on campus begin- ning today. This Survey is for men students only.

The Ann Arbor branch of the *movement is under the direction of Miss Frances A. Hannum, of the .city public library, and Mr. Werner G. Rice, head of the University Li- brary system. The week of February 22-27 has been designated as the campaign time for both local and University collections. The -Victory Book Campaign was originated for the purpose of col- lecting used books for men in the country's military service, and also for replenishing the inadequate book supply in crowded industrial defense centers. An elaborate committee sys- tem, aided by youth organizations, library societies, religious groups, and the library service branch1 of the WPA collects, sorts, cleans, and dis- tributes appropriate books from all over the nation. When the campaignis inaugurated in Ann Arbor, local residents, as well as students, will be given an oppor- tunity to contribute books of all na- ture. The contributions will be ,care- fully sorted, the unacceptable copies sold for waste paper and the more valuable ones sold to various libraries. All money derived in this way and all money contributions will be used to purchase more books for the cam- paign.
