The Army, when it issued the

Official Clarification
The statement reiterated the for
mer order that all Enlisted Re
servists were to be called in May
with the following exceptions:
medical and pre-medical students,
veterinarians, members of advanc
ed Reserved Officers Training
Corps (both juniors and seniors),
aviation cadets and approved en
gineering students' in the senior,
junior and sophomore classes.
What the statement did not say
was how long these men would be
permitted to continue school.
“Until further clarification
comes,” Colonel Ardery, PMST,
erages,
The College has admitted on
condition many who fell below the
1 average, but the Army has re
fused to permit these same men
to continue their education since
they failed to live up to the grade
requirement demanded of Enlisted
Reserve Corps members.
