Army selects men for special college work
CHICAGO, Feb. 15—(IIP) — Brig. Gen. Joe N. Dalton, assistant chief of staff foi^ personnel services of supply, said today that the first candidates are now being selected for technical and scientific training in the 281 universities and colleges which have been selected by the army, navy and war manpower commission.
In a press conference, Dalton said the army and navy expect to take over 75 per cent of the facilities of the selected colleges, and in medical schools will need 80 per cent of facilities. The remainder will be left for women and other civilian students.
Asked if the WAACS would be included in the basic program, especially for training as army doctors, Dalton said: “The WAACS are not now part of the army. If they are taken into the army, they no doubt will be included in the program.”
Dalton said participation in the program would not be placed on a voluntary basis, but candidates would be selected after rigid tests. The army is interested principally, he said, in officer material. All candidates must have completed 13 weeks of basic training.
The army will select the courses to be taken by the respective candidates. The first courses, which probably will start on Mar.
1, will be advanced courses for men with previous college and technical training. Basic courses will be open by Apr. 1, he said.
Dalton’s announcements climaxed a three day meeting of army officers and representatives from 18 colleges.
Answers to two questions which have been foremost in the minds of SC reservists in the ERC were disclosed yesterday in a bulletin from the American Council on Education received by Dean Albert Sydney Raubenheimer.
The bulletin reads as follows in regard to members of
the erc:
“The individual calls to active duty will be issued through the nine service commands and sent to the college adresses of the students. There will be approximately 14 days between receipt by the student of his call to active duty and the date on which he must report to the designated reception center. In most instances the student will be ordered to the reception center which is nearest his college or university. Transportation expenses from the college to the reception center will be paid by the army. There will be opportunity at the reception center to qualify, within established quotas, for aviation cadet training in addition to othei; training within the army. The army specialized training program will of course be open, within established quotas, to those who can qualify after the completion of the period of basic training.* “ERC reservists (like all students entering service) should have their transcripts with them.’* The bulletin further stated that army air force enlisted reservists who have qualified for aviation cadet training will be called to active service between now and Apr. 1, 1943. A large contingent will be requested to report between Feb. 15 and 20.
College students will be permitted to complete the quarter or semester in which they were enrolled on Dec. 31, 1942. They will be sent to seven • basic training centers under the army air forces technical training command.
After completing the basic training period of from one to two months some will go directly to the Hying training command classification centers to be classified for immediate flying training. The balance will be sent to attend designated colleges and universities for a special training course prior to their entering flying training.
The selection will be made on the basis of an educational test and an evaluation of their total educational background. The training course for most of the men will approximate five months. Some will have a shorter period, depending upon their educational level and the needs of the flying training command.
