University s War Role (Editor's Note: The following statement was released by the University today.) The joint Army-Navy program for the utilization of college facilities in specialized training has just been announced. The institutions which are to participate in the expanded program have not been named. Thej University of Michigan does not know, therefore, just what contributions it will be called upon to make beyond the training it has been providing for several groups of Army officers and enlisted men for several months. However, this institution stands ready to make available its facilities, and, if chosen, will bend every effort to serve the needs of the armed for*ces. While the nature of the training required by the Army and Navy" has not been announced in detail, the emphasis will undoubtedly beplaced on the basic sciences, mathematics, and the engineering subjects. The strains thus placed upon the departments concerned will be met, as far as possible, by a shift in personnel within the University. This will call for the re-training of some faculty members now engaged in the teaching of subjects of less military significance. Even though the University is asked to serve in this capacity, it will, insofar as its facilities permit, continue to provide training for its women students and men not called to the armed services. It is obvious that the University's student population will change markedly in the months ahead. The draft of men of college age will, of course, reduce both the total enrollment and the proportion of men in the student body, although many will undoubtedly be returned for specialized training under present and future programs. PRESIDENT RUTHVEN ADVISES: Stick with Your Studies, l ollege MenAr Needed Give Men Pay And Quarters By LEE GORDENKER All Army and Navy college reservists will be placed on active duty - given pay, quarters and uni- forms - l y the end of the spring semester. This is the joint Army-Navy plan for intensive use of college facilities. It is a sweeping training pro- gram embracing all Army and Navy Reserves and open to other men with the proper qualifications. It was released here today by the University. The first trainees assigned to the Army Spec- ialized Training Program will begin their studies dur- ing February, 1943. The Navy has not yet announced the date on which its plan will begin operation. Selected universities and colleges designated by the Army, Navy and War Manpower Commission will sign contracts providing the use of their facilities and staff services. Army Specialized Training Program trainees un- der military discipline -provided quarters and rations through college and university facilities under gov- ernment contract - will be ranked -as privates. Mili- tary training, subordinated to academic instruction, will be given to provide maintenance of discipline and physical condition. Naval College Training Program men - V-1, V-5 and V-7 reservists - will go on active duty as ap- prentice seamen. This is what will happen to the Army Reserves: 1) Medical and dental students in the Enlisted Reserve Corps will be placed on active duty in May, 1943 and detailed to medical schools under Army contract. 2) Medical students with commissions will be placed on active duty in May, 1943. They may re- sign their commissions and return to medical school as privates. 3) Pre-medical students in the Enlisted Reserve Corps will be placed on duty in May, 1943. They may or may not be given basic military training, but se- lected candidates will be assigned to contracted medi- cal schools to be trained. Others will go into Army service immediately. 4) Medical and pnre-medical students not in the Enlisted Reserve Corps, or holding commissions will be deferred until May, 1943, if they are inducted un- der Selective Service. They will then be placed on active duty and may or may not be given basic train- ing. Selected candidates will return to medical schools. 5) Seniors in ROTC will be placed on active duty in May, 1943, or upon graduation if earlier. They will then go to Army Officer Candidate Schools. 6) Juniors in the Enlisted Reserve Corps tak- ing approved engineering courses will be placed on active duty in May, 1943, given basic military train- ing and selected candidates will be detailed for tech- nical training under the Army Specialized Training Program. 7) Juniors in approved engineering courses not in the Enlisted Reserve Corps, if inducted under Se- lective Service, will be deferred until May, 1943, to Army, Navy and WMC Reveal College Plans the statement said, will be entered with colleges and universities not yet selected. It was emphasized, how- ever, that existing agreements with the educational institutions for train- ing programs will not be affected. Regulations for selection of the in- stitution will be drafted by the chair- man of the War Manpower Commis- sion, Paul V. McNutt. All the rien assigned to the college training courses will be uniformed and will receive the nay and be under The joint Army-Navy plans for the training of college-age men for the performance of specialized military tasks have now been re- leased. It is obvious that the arm- ed services continue to recognize, as they always have, the need for well trained officers for positions of leadership and, for duties which demand advanced technical and professional preparation. They have said. repeatedly, that they expect dentistry, medicine, and meteorol- ogy. Qualities of accurate expres- sion, incisive thought, and physical fitness and a capacity for swift, accurate mathematical computa- tion are sought by all branches of the armed forces. A knowledge of history, American institutions, and of a foreign language are import- ant. Consequently, all of the sub- jects you have been studying will be useful to you and to the mili- tary services. By The Associated PressO WASHINGTON, Dec. 17 - The Army and the Navy announced today plans to contract for the facilities of a selected number of colleges and program. Generally, said War Sec'y Stimson and Navy Secretary Knox, the program is designed to maintain' n"r+- - Avr , nn of - -ncr - -gi Rli lm
