President Hetzel Named
To New Army Committee
'Prexy'
“Prexy” Ralph D. Hetzel once
more gained national fame with
his appointment to a committee of
10 college presidents who will
counsel and assist in the direction
of the new Army ' program for
training some 200,000 men in the
country’s colleges.
PRICE: THREE CENTS
Group Will Counsel,
Assist in New Program
President Ralph D. Hetzel has
been appointed as a member of a
committee of 10 college presidents
to counsel and assist in the direc
tion of the new Army program for
the training of some 200,000 men
in the colleges and universities of
the country by Major General J.
A. Ulio, the Adjutant General. '
The new program will be under
the direction of Colonel Herman
Beukema, Director of the Army
Specialized Training Division.
First meeting of the committee
will be held in Washington, D. C.,
Tuesday and Wednesday, February
2 and 3. At this time the Advisory
Committee will review the reports
of many specialized committees of
educators and Army officers who
have been working on various
phases of the program for the past
several weeks.
Although no further information
has been obtained as yet as to just
what the exact plans for service
men the Army lias in hand for the
colleges and universities, it is be
lieved that these men will prob
ably be sent to the educational in
stitutions as a result of screening
tests which they will take upon c
completion of the regular 13 weeks
of basic training ail .men .have,to.,
take - at' the start of-their
careers.
Service men who are found to
be adept in certain fields will
probably be sent to leading col
leges to receive training in those
vocations, and upon completion of
the course will possibly be sent to
an officers’ candidate school where
they will receive commissions as
second lieutenants.
While receiving their training
at colleges, the selected men will
receive Army private’s pay and
will be housed in barracks, prob
ably converted dormitories.
Students 'Dig In
As Snow Reaches
Height Of 9 Inches
Although many students had a
little difficulty believing it was
really showing yesterday morning,
their impressions soon became a
reality as they tried to wade
through the ankle-deep snow that
covered every path leading to
classrooms on the campus.
■Nine inches of “flakes” was
•enough to bring out the snow
plows and resound the “chug
chug” of the gasoline motors over
the campus. '
The heavy snow gave the winter
sports fans an opportunity to use
their new skiis and skates which
many had not tried since receiving
them as Christmas presents.
Tennis courts which were al
ready flooded were made available
for the ice-skating enthusiasts who
flocked to the rinlcs during the
evening skat’ng session.
Fraternity houses put up their
best “throwers" as they engaged
in snow fights from noon till night.
Several houses suffered from the
snowball warfare, and were as
sured of air-conditioning during
the night.
Yesterday’s snow was appropri
ate to the winter season, having no
comparison to the freak fail of last
March when Palm Sunday church,
goers were greeted with 30 inches
of snow. At that time it was a
change from the Easter bonnet to
the fur coat, but today the vogue
is clothes—and lots, of them, too!
