TO RELEASE FROM S.A.T.C. MEN ACCEPTED FOR O. T. C.

According to information received Wednesday morning from the War Department by Colonel Williams, men enlisted in the S. A. T. C. are to be permitted to attend Central Officers' Training Camps if they made application while still civilians. However, after a man is once inducted, he can no longer apply for admission to any branch of the service. The military authorities advise all who have not yet applied for an O. T. C. to give up the idea, and to be inducted into the S. A. T. C.

The men who have already applied for a Central Officers' Training Camp will be inducted in the S. A. T. C. on the date set for induction. The applications will be considered and the applicants examined by the military authorities here, and the names of the successful applicants sent to the commanding officers of the respective camps. These men will be called when needed, and a transfer will be effected.

Major Williams, son of Colonel Williams, commandant of the S. A. T. C., has been detailed to Cambridge to handle the applications for the Officers' Training Schools which will pass through Headquarters. Since all applications for admittance to an Officers' School must be made to the War Department through the office of the nearest S. A. T. C. unit, Major Williams will be in charge of applications from many men other than those attending the University. The S. A. T. C. Headquarters has received instructions to hold up applications for the infantry, but to proceed as usual with those for the artillery and machine gun officers' school located at Camp Zachary Taylor, Ky., and Camp Lee, Va., respectively. Such application may be made on blanks which are on hand at Apthorp House, by men between the ages of 18 and 45.

Major Williams started his work yesterday with a personal examination of each applicant for the different officers' camps. Each man who applied was given an appointment for a five-minute interview. The work will continue today until completed; each man who put in an O. T. C. application at Apthorp House should find out immediately when his appointment comes and be on hand at that time.
