Ed ward S. Shattuck, legal chief of the national selective system. Speaking at a state-wide meet ing of college defense councils in Harrisburg last Friday, Major Shattuck said that the new regis trants will be placed at the bottom of the list of prospective draftees, and .will not be integrated with the old group, as was the case in last July's registration. • This policy will lessen the pos sibility of early induction of the new registrants, Major Shattuck indicated. He added, however, that the time of induction will de pend largely upon the extent to which draftee lists of the respec tive local boards are depleted. Major Shattuck also gave as surance that students training for production jobs will not be drawn into armed forces. He warned, however, that this does not mean that freshman technical students are given abSolute guarantees of the completion of their studies. "We hope," Major Shattuck said, "that • ultimately all man power problems connected with the war effort will• clear through a central agency, so that each in dividual would stay in or be,mov ed to the task in which he was best fitted and most needed to serve the nation," .• ......at, :krNtio, -- .

"The plan," Cooper explained, "is designed to bring about greater cooperation among all fraternities by exchanging small groups of men with another house several times a month."

Having taught himself the Eng lish language, Adamic wandered over the country, earning his liv ing by working in silk mills; rest aurants and textile mills. He served in the U. S.
