Soldiers sent to college will have little time lor social pastimes. • From the time they are selected, until they graduate—if they do —they will have to stay on the ball to keep up with propesed program. Offi t'.ials planning the program warn those who look upon it as a'chance to go to college with its tra dvtional sports, social events and leisurely living, better stick to the Army. . Officials suggested that a good idea of the pace that will be set could be learned from any man •who has gone through Officer’s Candidate School. If. will not be a bit less intensive in the Army’s college. Men for the training will be chosen on the basis of screening tests to determine back ground and aptitude. There will be screening tests every 12 weeks thereafter to weed out misfits. There will be a long schedule—24 to 25 hours of class or laboratory work and hours of super vised study each week, plus five hours military i,raining and one hour physical training each day. Generally the courses will be far shorter than those customarily offered in colleges and will not lead to degrees. Length of courses include electri cal and chemical engineering, seven quarters; me chanical engineering, six quarters; and foreign areas—a study of language and customs to quali fy a man for duty as liason officer between troops and native populations, from 6 to 15. months. . i’!hus far, no colleges have been formally desig nated for the training program, although a list of •571 eligible for the work has been published. Those schools do not include institutions which' will be eligible for basic educational training .and for medical courses. Col;- Herman Buekema, director of the special ised training program, recently announced train ing would start by March 1, and that courses in engineering would start first. He estimated that the maximum number of men under training at any one time probably would be 150,000 and that 50,000 would complete their courses in 1943. Ex plaining the screening tests, Col. Buekema said the Army expects a high rate of attrition. At each screening men will be returned to become techni cal non-coms. This does not represent-waste; be cause such men are badly needed. “Because they are screened out doesn’t mean they are not good men,” Buekma stated. “They were picked men to begin with. Moreover, at the screenings others will be chosen to go to officer candidate schools. Men who show great capacity put need development will go no longer. Those showing particular aptitude will get advanced training for some activity connected with the war cit'ort, sometimes outside military life. We know these fellows are rare.” A premium will be placed on engineering tal ent. Next come medical men, and thereafter psychologists, who will be trained to do Army classification work, and those who wilt be taking Downtown Office 119-121 South Frazier St. Phone 4872 Staff This Issue aniiißnuiHmiintiiiiiiniiiiuitßiit«miiiii»HiiiiiiitiHmnMffliimummmmuwtt 4S ip ow *»*... amiiinmummmtuMimiimmnmuumimimiHm By bob kinter We are about to give three rousing cheers. Will you join us? Why? The Curtiss-Wright girls have finally arrived. Okay, let’s go! There’s one hitch in the works, though. The Chi Phi boys took over as soon as they hit town. They waited at the steps leading up to Watts Hall and counted them as they came in. And they got blind dates for a good many of them. One of them was disappointed, though. It seems that during the evening; he no ticed that his fraternity pin was missing, and raised quite a to-do about it. She couldn’t see why and asked, “What’s an old fraternity pin, mbre or less?” He spent the rest of the night looking for it and his girl friend .decided that if the pin was more important than she was, he could look for it himself. She isn’t going back. Dances, Dances . We hit a couple of the dances over the week end, namely Collegian Dance and the Delta Gam ma formal.

Being able to say that you knew the author “when” is a thrill. Haying the opportunity to hear the author discuss her own book is a privilege. And senior women will have such a privilege when Dr. Laura W. Drummond, director-and pro fessor of home economics, begins a series of talks on her recently printed book, “Youth and Instruc tion in Marriage and Family Liv ing,” today. Divided into alphabetical sec tions, senior women will hear the educational talks in Women's Building lounge at 4:15 p.m. on days to 'be announced later. The first group, A, B, and part of C; has been notified by postcards of the initial meeting. In line, with sensible thinking, but contrary to current rumors* the meetings are not cOmpulsofy. They are open to interested per sons. Representing a myriad of col leges and universities, Curtiss- Wright Cadettes have arrived and are taking over Watts Hall arid parts of the engineering buildings. Most of them have been at col leges before, but they still need to be made a part of our campus. They deserve more attention and hospitality than a weekend im port. 1 . • WSGA Representatives, Mortar Board members, Cwens, Junior Service Board, and' other coed leaders wandered through the newcomers’ dorm Sunday to meet and welcome the slide-rule wo men. Just because they can recognize two or three faces on campus; doh’t think that they’re right :at home, ’cause they aren’t. ' We’ve extended the welcome, but they still aren’t inside our doors l the way they would like to be. WRA has opened White Hall to them for recreational purposes arid other women’s activities are planning special programs for them.
