Advisors To Hold
Instruction Meeting
Penn State took another step
forward yesterday in the move to
allow students to remain in col
lege without fear ol' being draft
ed. The step taken was authori
zation by United States Army of
ficials for the College as a station
for the new Air Force Enlisted
Reserve.
Along with students from five
other colleges in the state, Penn
State students will be permitted
by enlistment in this bVanch of
the service to remain in college
until their services are actually
needed for active duty.
Students in the enlisted reserve
will, of course, be subject to call
alt any time, but the plan is to de
fer them, permitting scholastic
training providing they maintain
a satisfactory scholastic standard.
Students whose course gives
them the special instruction ne
cessary for meteorology and com
munications will be permitted to
continue their schooling to enable
them to qualify as officers.
Whether they will be permitted to
continue training for these posts
will depend on examinations giv
en sophomores enlisted in the Air
Force Reserve.
Instructions will be given to
students who are interested in the
plan at a mass meeting here on
Monday, evening, at which the fa
culty advisors from the other col
leges in the state accepted for
the plan and representatives from
the U. S. Army will be present.
These men will attempt to answer
any questions which students
might have concerning the plan.
Plc.'cq and time for the meeting
will be announced later.
To help in finding information
on the plan, Prof. Robert E. Gal
braith, faculty advisor for the
plan here, has placed on reserve
in the open shelf book room in
the library several articles per
taining to the Air Corps’ duties
and the results of increased air
power.
