Question of Credit for Students to Be Considered Individually By Faculty Committee INSTRUCTORS EMPOWERED TO GIVE NECESSARY EXAMS Resolution Concerning Credit Includ- es All Men Enlisting for Military Service Cases of men who want to leave the University and go to work on .farms, this spring will be considered individ- ually by a special faculty committee consisting of Prof. H. A. Sanders, Prof. S. L. Bigelow, and Dean Jbhn R. Effinger. This was decided at thej faculty meeting held last night in the office of Registrar A. G. Hall. Appli-; cation should be made to Dean Ef- finger. To Give Credit Upon Examination One resolution concerning credit given to men who leave -was adopted to apply to all cases, including men who go on farms, into officers' train- ing camps, or any other form of mil- itary service. It states that "equitable credit will be given after such exam- inations as instructors care to give." This means that the instructor may require a written or oral examina- tion, or make any other arrangements he thinks necessary, depending on the standing of the student in the course, and issue the amount of credit he thinks the student deserves. Think Need for Farm Help Small It is not thought that there is as great need for college students on farms this spring as last, since the government has not issued a call, or made any requests from the univer- sities. Men are being released from military service to asist in such work. J. PEARLSTEEN, '0, ENLISTS IN JEWISH FOREIGN LEGION Jocab Pearlsteemt, '20, of Detroit, has enlisted in the Jewish foreign legion, the first uni'versity student from the middle west to enter this body of fighters, The Jewish foreign legion has al- ready sent over approximately $1,500 Zionists from this country who are not connected wi the American army, but who are enlisted under the English banners, and are fighting with them on the Mesopotanian front, and parti- cularly around Palestine. Forty young men from Detroit have volunteered their services to this legion. Pearlsteen is leaving for- duty within a week. He is the presi- dent of therJewish Students society in Ann Arbor, and an excellent scholar at the University. An entertainment was given him last night by friends in Ann Arbor In hon- or of his departure. MEDICAL SCHOOL CAPACITY STATED TO BE 380 STUDENTS Three hundred and eighty medical students is the total capacity the col-' lege can handle, according to a state- ment sent to the surgeon-general at Washington after his inquiry as to the total capacity of the University Medical college. The request probably arose from the fact that a number of the Univer- sities will not have medical schools next fall, due to the absence of stu- dents and faculty teachers. The war department, realizing the fact that a readjustment of students may become necessary, is planning on assisting in such a change of schools, in finding out what schools are to remain open, and the limit of their capacity. One hundred and twenty freshmen, 100 sophomores, 85 juniors, and 75 seniors is the total capacity of the Medical college, according to the secretary of the school. Student League to Meet Thursday The Students' league of the Bethle- hem church will hold their regular monthly meeting at 7:15 o'clock Thursdgky night, in the parlors of the church. All evangelical students are invited to attend. Lient G. tions C.

Preliminary instructions regarding candidates for the fourth officers' training school were received by Lieut. George C. Mullen yesterday from the war department. The fol- lowing statement was issued by Lieut- enant Mullen: "Owing to the short space of time before the training schools are start- ed, and in order that all who desire to enter may receive consideration, it has been found necessary to leave the selection of these men entirely in the hands of the officials of the institutions themselves, and in view of the fact that these institutions will begin receiving applications at once, this advance information is submitted for your guidance regarding the selec- tion of men to attend the training schools. Additional instructions, to- gether with a memorandum of infor- mation,, will be furnished at the ear- liest practicable date. "Graduates (unless further instruc- tions are received I will consider un- derggades as well as graduates) who are within the draft age and who have had at least one year of military in- struction at an educational institu- tion under the supervision of an of- ficer of the army while attending same, in number not to exceed 40 men.' ..

"The men selected will be required, before they are admitted to the train- ing school, to enlist for the duration of the war, and if after completing the prescpbed course, they are not re- commended for a commission, or if during the course, are found not qua- lified to continue same, will be sent to appropriate organizations for duty as enlisted men. Probable Rating "If they successfully complete the course and are found qualified, they will be listed as eligible for appoint- ments as second lieutenants, and will be commissioned as vacancies may oc- cur, provided their service between the date when they become eligible and the date of occurrence of vacan- cy is s.atisfactory. While in attend- anc at the training school, they will receive the pay and allowances of pri- vates, first-class, and will receive transportation, or at the option of the government, milage at the rate of three and one-half cents per mile from their colleges, schools, or homes to such camp as they may be directed to attend.
