Going to College on the present basis, and go
ing to college under the Army’s new specialized
•training program will be two completely different
stories. 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

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. At Collegian Dance we had a great
deal of trouble with George Pittenger and Ruth
Storer. They kept bumping iritb us. We saw a
good many- couples and picked out a few'who de
serve some special note—Cliff St. Clair Seta and
Mary Thompson Chio . . . Bob Hicks Deltachi and
Libby Furst Kappa . . . Charlie Good Phikappasig

the Phi Sigma Delta house over the weekend, but

Compulsory’s No Word
For The Privilege
Getting the autograph of a
worthy notable who has recently
published a book is a novelty.
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.
But their present need is for
downright friendliness which only
depends on each' of us who is al
ready sold on the Liori.
