Will Examine Applicants
Rapid Increase of Petitions Brings Troy Near Quota
Due to the rapid increase of applications for the SC naval ROTC, the naval medical examining board returned to campus from Long Beach. All applicants are urged by Capt. Reed M. Fawell. commandant, to report to room 300, Physical Education building at 8:45 a.m. today or as soon thereafter as classes will permit.
Captain Fawell, believing that many freshmen were under the impression that enrollment in the NROTC was in the nature of an enlistment, said that “when students leave the university after taking an NROTC training course they are not subject to recall.”
This statement had its effect as 31 new applications for enrollment were made by freshman and sophomore students last week. Underclassmen who have not yet made application may still do so. The SC unit quota of 140 has not been entirely filled.
Eligibility is limited to those freshman and sophomore students who will spend at least four years at the university. According to past results, at least 70 percent of those students making applications have been able to pass the naval examinations.
Any question in the minds of students still doubtful as to the nature and activities of the Naval Reserve officers training corps may be presented to any of the commandant aides.
Dr. Rufus B. von KieinSmid will speak tomorrow evening at the dinner meeting of the southern California conference on the problems of industrial mobilization in the Pacific Southwest. His topic is, “The Citizen and His Responsibility.”
" * The conference will convene tomorrow morning on the SC campus with registration being held \ from 8:30 to 8:55 a.m., according to Prof. Park S. Ewart, program chairman. The morning, noon, and afternoon sessions will be held in the art and lecture room of the Doheny Memorial library, with the night meeting taking place in the Foyer of Town and Gown.
