Opportunity Is Presented
To Freshmen To Finish
Portion Of Curriculum
With our rapidly expanding Army
and Navy drawing upon all sources of
manpower available, students enter-
ing the University this fall cannot
expect to finish their college educa-
tion before being called to service
with the armed forces of the nation.
It is predicted by University authori-
ties that freshmen enrolling in the
fall term will probably not be per-
mitted to continue their studies for
more than two years before being
called to active duty.
It is advisable, therefore, that every
man prepare himself for service with
the armed forces or in war industry
as soon as possible. Such preparation
should include taking courses in
mathematics, physics, map interpre-
tation and other similar courses
which will be of immediate value in
the armed forces or in industry.
It is important to realize that Army
and Navy officials want students to
remain in school until they are called
to duty. The armed forces need men
with training that the University can
give them. To assure a steady supply
of trained or semi-trained men, the
various services have instituted re-
serve programs allowing students to
remain in school until they are need-
ed.
These programs are available to
students now, and will be presented
to the entire student body at a mass
meeting to be held at 8 p. m., Oct. 7
in Hill Auditorium.
At this time Army, Army Air
Force, Navy, Coast Guard, and Ma-
rine Corps officers will present the
various reserve plans to the students.
This merger of enlistment programs
will prevent the competitive bidding
for recruits among the armed ser-
vices.
Outlined below are the qualifica-
tions and purposes of the several re-
serve programs which will be pre-
sented. It is to be noted that the
plans presented are changeable at
any time and as presented include all
changes prior to publication.
Army Enlisted Reserve
The University of Michigan has
been assigned a quota of 2,400 enlist-
ments, under the Army Enlisted Re-
serve Progrom. Under this program
students meeting physical and men-
tal qualifications will be permitted to
remain in school until called for ac-
tive duty.

The status of students enrolled in
the Army Enlisted Reserve Program
has been somewhat uncertain since
the announcement by Secretary of
War Stimson that reservists are to be
called. Stimson stated that men of
draft age enrolled in the Enlisted Re-
serve Program will be called to active
duty early in 1943. Thereafter stu-
dents in the reserve will be called out
as they reach draft age. Freshmen
entering college the fall semester can
probably expect two years in college
under the present plan. If there is a
change in the draft laws and the age-
limit is lowered to 18, in all proba-
bility the Enlisted Reserve Program
will be abolished.
Naval Reserve Corps
The Navy Department has createdf
a plan which permits students be-'
tween the ages of 17 and 26, who can
meet the physical requirements, to
enlist as Apprentice Seamen, Class
V-1, and continue their college work
at their own expense, in an inactive
status. Toward the end of their sec-
ond year they are given a comprehen-
sive examination, and if they pass,
may transfer to Class V-5, Aviation
Cadet, or to Class V-7, Deck or En-
gineering Officer training reserve. In
the event that they choose Class V-5,,
they are permitted to finish the sec-
ond year in college, after which they
go on active duty for further aviation
training in the Navy. If they choose
Class V-7, they are permitted to con-
tinue until graduation if not called by
the Navy. Students failing to pass the
comprehensive examination are sent
at once into active duty as apprentice
seamen.
To date the Naval Reserve plans
have not been changed. However, it
is to be expected that students in
Naval reserve programs may not be
permitted to finish four years of col-
lege.

Wartime Courses To Be Added
To Literary College Curriculum

Summer and fall months have
proved to be fruitful ones for the
publishing of poetry and novels by
Michigan students and former Hop-
wood winners.
"Nearer the Earth," a novel of a
woman's coming of age, by Beatrice
Borst has been sent to Professor Roy
W. Cowden. A Hopwood winner of
1941, the novel will be on sale at book
stores August 21. Random House is
the publisher.
Maritta Wolff, already famous au-j
thor of the Hopwood winner "Whistle
Stop," will have another book pub-

lished by Random House. Originally
titled "Grave Yard Shift" the novel
was changed to "Night Shift" by the
publishers because movie producers
who are interested in the book said
the public wouldn't like the original
title in lights.
"Each Alone," a novel by Harriet
Ball, graduate student at the Uni-
versity of Michigan last year, capi-
talizes on the idiosyncracies, the life,
and problems of the Victor family.
Published by Harper & Bros., the
book is now on sale at various book
stores.
