COL. GOETZ POINTS OUT OPPORTUNITIES

At the reception of Phillips Brooks House to the members of 1923 last evening, Colonel Goetz, who was among the many speakers, reminded the Freshmen of the opportunities offered them by the military courses here to prepare themselves for service in time of need. He pointed out that whereas the Sophomore Class had come forward with interest and a large enrolment, the Freshmen, in the rush of their first days at the University, had overlooked the advantages they now have to undertake a course offering not only the reward of a commission in the Reserve Corps, but also a combination of carefully chosen and distributed courses which would supplement their field of concentration to the best possible advantage.

Colonel Goetz also called to their attention that, in accordance with the ruling of the Committee on the Choice of Electives that courses may be added or dropped without penalty before October 4, the men of the incoming class have the privilege of enrolling at the Military Office without changing their present plan of study. If by that date they deiced to continue in Military Science, a petition to drop their weakest course in its favor will be immediately granted; and if they decide not to continue in military training, they will not be obligated by their short attendance to do so.

The other speakers of the evening were Professor E. C. Moore, W. I. Tibbetts '17, W. J. Murray Occ., F. Workum '20, L. K. Garrison Occ., E. A. Bacon '20, and Professor R. B. Merriman '96.
