RELEASE NAVAL RESERVISTS

Members of the Naval Reserve Force, most of whom are on an inactive duty status, may obtain release from all obligations to this organization for the purpose of enrolling in the Reserve Officers' Training Corps, according to a recent ruling of the Navy Department. Before a release will be given, however, the applicant for discharge must furnish the Commandant of the Naval District in which he is serving with proof that he is attending an educational institution which maintains a unit of the R. O. T. C., and that if discharged from the Navy he will immediately enroll in this unit.

Any member of the Naval Reserve who desires to enter the R.O.T.C. Unit that is to be established at the University, must write his own application for disenrollment when the time comes for enrolling in the R. O. T. C.-The Professor of Military Science and Tactics will furnish the required information concerning each Reservist to the Commandant of the First Naval District at that time.

According to a ruling of the Judge Advocate General, no member of the Naval Reserve Forces can be enrolled in the R. O. T. C. Complete separation from the Naval establishment is necessary to membership in the latter unit.
