Inside the Armory door will be panels on whieh lists of matriculation num bers will be posted with the net amount of fees due from each student opposite their number. "Once the student ascertains the amount he is to pay, he may pre pare his check at benches provided, and then present the check and his matric card at the correct cash ier's window," explained Clark. "Windows will be numbered ac cording to matriculation num ber." This does not apply to students who have already arranged for de ferment of fees: A special win dow will be available for them.

Mon day. Attendance at the meeting is mandatory and will be checked a gainst registration lists, Tribunal chairman Guy Newton stressed. • He extends an invitation to all hatmen to attend "to make the aflfair interesting."

GIVE to the RED CROSS Army Exams Scheduled For April 12 Examinations for candidates for the Army Specialized Training Reserve Program will be given in 121 Sparks at 9 a.m. April 12. " Men interested in taking the ex aminations should contact Robert E. Galbraith, faculty counselor on war activities, 243 Sparks,- before April 7. Any man whose 17th birthday falls between October 1, 1944 and August 31, 1945, and who will have been graduated from high school or completed one semester of col lege by July 1, 1945, is eligible to take the exam. Men who are selected for the reserve program - receive basic training in, engineering at. colleges situated all over the country. They are called to active duty at the end of the term in which they pass their 18th birthdays. Many reservists have been able to complete as many as three terms under this program before entering active duty, according to Lt. Col. Guy G. Mills, comman dant of the ASTP unit at the Col lege. They receive regular college credit for their training when-they return to school. After completing their reserve training, men are given basic mili tary training in army camps. If previous work in reserve training has been satisfactory, they are eligible to return to school to take advanced phases of the specialiied training program. Col. Mills says of the program, "The value of this training to the individual is hard to estimate be cause it is so great. This is espe cially true of men who desire to enter engineering when they have been discharged from the service. "These men are being trained for special technical jobs in con nection with military service," he continued. "It would indeed be difficult to estimate the value to both the army and the individ ual."
