MARINE AND NAVAL UNITS GO

More than 300 members of the Naval Unit will have been relieved of active duty by tomorrow night and the remaining men, about 100, will be mustered out by the end of next week.

The men will not be discharged, like the men in the S. A. T. C., and the Marine Section, but they will be placed on inactive duty, without pay. Before being placed on inactive duty, each man must have a strict physical examination, an examination for conformation of rating, and must then turn in all equipment, and settle all accounts with the University.

The College authorities have not yet decided what disposition will be made of Weld and Grays Halls.

By special order of Major-General Barnett, Commandant of the Marine Corps, the members of the University Marine Unit will be honorably discharged on Monday, December 16, for the convenience of the government. The only other course open to the men is that they may go to Paris Island, South Carolina, as regular enlisted men, with no promises for commission. The urgent need for officers in the line and aviation branches of the Marine Corps no longer exists.

Before being discharged men must settle their financial affairs with the University, turn in uniforms and equipment, and must then pass a strict physical examination by a medical officer of the navy.

In exceptional cases, men will be allowed to keep their uniforms until they arrive home.
